Patent number: 7096770Abstract: There is provided an optical recording medium-manufacturing apparatus that is capable of accurately transferring a disk-shaped apparatus during a manufacturing process, and at the same time occupies a small installation area. A control section causes a cut-forming machine installed at a cut-forming location to form a cut in a resin layer of a disk-shaped substrate, then causes an indexing mechanism to rotate a transfer stage to thereby transfer the disk-shaped substrate formed with the cut to a central hole-forming location, and then causes a punching machine to punch a central hole.Type: GrantFiled: January 23, 2004Date of Patent: August 29, 2006Assignee: TDK CorporationInventors: Junichi Ide, Haruhiko Yamaguchi, Takeshi Umega, Futoshi Kobayashi, Tsuyoshi Itoh, Yoshimi Yodogawa, Mamoru Usami

Publication number: 20060177534Abstract: When manufacturing an optical recording medium by forming a resin layer on a surface of a substrate and then forming a center hole that passes through the substrate and the resin layer, a method of manufacturing an optical recording medium according to the present invention forms the center hole by forming, in the resin layer, a circular cut with a larger diameter than the center hole so as to surround a formation position of the center hole and then pressing in a punching blade for forming the center hole from a rear surface side of the substrate. By doing so, detachment of the resin layer and the production of burrs at or near the center hole can be avoided while reducing the manufacturing cost.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 18, 2003Publication date: August 10, 2006Inventors: Mamoru Usami, Junichi Ide, Haruhiko Yamaguchi, Tomoki Ushida

Patent number: 7047859Abstract: An optical recording medium-manufacturing apparatus which is capable of reducing wear of a cut-forming blade section used for forming a cut in a resin layer, without increasing the component costs of the apparatus. An ultrasonic horn includes a hollow-cylindrical cut-forming blade section for being pushed into a resin layer formed on one side of a disk-shaped substrate, thereby forming a circular cut in the resin layer. A control section controls motion of the ultrasonic horn caused by a moving mechanism. The control section causes the ultrasonic horn to be pushed in to the resin layer while causing ultrasonic vibration thereof to thereby form the cut, and while maintaining a state of ultrasonic vibration of the abutment section and a pushed-in state of the cut-forming blade section, causes the punching blade section to be pushed into the disk-shaped substrate, to form the central hole.Type: GrantFiled: February 26, 2004Date of Patent: May 23, 2006Assignee: TDK CorporationInventors: Junichi Ide, Takeshi Umega, Haruhiko Yamaguchi, Futoshi Kobayashi, Tsuyoshi Itoh, Yoshimi Yodogawa, Mamoru Usami

Publication number: 20050172770Abstract: This invention is directed to the prevention of the deterioration of the accuracy in component mounting by suppressing the temperature rise of the moving member as much as possible by cooling the moving member, which is the heat source of a linear motor. The moving member 48 of the linear motor 14 is configured in the following manner for achieving the objective of this invention. That is, the heat dissipation portion, the axis 17 made of the material with efficient thermal conduction such as aluminum, pierces through the iron core 18 around which coils 20 are wound. The moving member except a part of the axis 17 is molded with synthetic resin, and at one end of the axis 17, the heat dissipation fin 19 which makes heat dissipation area larger is formed. And this heat dissipation fin 19 is placed to face the air exhaust port 67.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 6, 2005Publication date: August 11, 2005Applicant: SANYO ELECTRIC CO., LTD.Inventors: Yoshinori Kano, Osamu Inaoka, Haruhiko Yamaguchi, Shigeru Kageyama
