  • Patent number: 9975321
    Abstract: A film peeling device preventing deformation or other defect of substrates occurring in the process of conveying films adhered up to the substrate leading ends while peeling from the substrate, protecting the substrate from damage, and avoiding deterioration of the substrate quality. The constitution is composed of a substrate holding mechanism for holding the leading end of a substrate by linear contact, an adhering and peeling mechanism for peeling films by an adhesive force from the substrate held by the substrate holding mechanism, a film holding tool for gripping individually the leading ends of the films adhered to the substrate both sides being wound and lifted by the adhering and peeling mechanism, a film conveying unit drive mechanism for conveying the film holding tool gripping the films in the substrate opposite direction conveying direction, and a recovery container accommodating the films being gripped and conveyed by the film holding tool.
