  • Publication number: 20240083184
    Abstract: The present invention is a position adjustment method for head units arrayed in a predetermined width direction attachably to and detachably from a base member. A position of a second head unit in the width direction and a rotation direction are respectively adjusted while the second head unit is engaging a tip part of a reference pin. More particularly, a width direction adjuster moves the second head unit in the width direction with a first head unit kept fixed to the base member. In this way, the gap between the first head unit and the second head unit is adjusted. Further, a rotation direction adjuster moves the second head unit in the orthogonal direction at a separation position distant from the reference pin. In this way, a rotation direction position of the second head unit with respect to the tip part of the reference pin is adjusted.

  • Patent number: 7862874
    Abstract: A method for producing a welded resin material contains steps of: superimposing a resin member having transmissibility to laser light and a resin member having absorptivity to laser light to form a contact part where the resin members are in contact with each other; forming a closed space that is adjacent to the contact part and faces one end of the contact part; and radiating the laser light from the resin member having transmissibility while pressing the resin members to each other through the contact part, so as to heat the contact part to melt a resin at the contact part, housing a resin excluded from the contact part through melting in the closed space, solidifying the resin melted at the contact part to weld the resin members.
