  • Publication number: 20230038777
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing adhered components includes a process of applying adhesive to application areas on a surface of a first component, a process of placing a second component above the first component, and a process of pressurizing the second component toward the first component. In the pressurization process, the load applied to a pressurizer changes while sequentially undergoing a curvilinear increase period in which the load increases in a curved line as the compression amount of the adhesive increases, and a rapid increase period in which the load increases in a polygonal line with respect to the trajectory of the load in the curvilinear increase period as the compression amount increases. During pressurization by the pressurizer, the load is detected by a load sensor, the rapid increase period is detected based on the detection value of the load sensor, and the pressurization is stopped during the rapid increase period.
