  • Patent number: 9862559
    Abstract: A sheet detection unit includes a photo-interrupter, a shutter holder, and shutter members held to be movable relative to the shutter holder. The shutter members include a sheet rear end detection portion capable of switching an optical axis between a light-interrupted state and a light-transmitted state and each are supported to be movable to an abutment position where the shutter member causes an abutment surface to protrude, and also movable to a retracted position where the shutter member is retracted from a sheet conveyance path. Based on a detection signal output from the photo-interrupter by the sheet front end detection portion and the sheet rear end detection portion moving relative to the optical axis, a control unit determines the presence or absence of a sheet.

  • Publication number: 20170318681
    Abstract: To form wiring on circuit board and conductor body, metal ink containing metal particles is dispensed by inkjet head straddling the circuit board and the conductor body. Then, a laser is applied by laser emitting device to the dispensed metal ink. The metal ink to which the laser is applied is baked and wiring is formed. A laser corresponding to the laser emission amount per unit of area based on the material of the circuit board, which is resin, is applied to the metal ink on the circuit board, and a laser corresponding to the laser emission amount per unit of area based on the conductor body is applied to the metal ink on the conductor body. The metal ink on the circuit board and the metal ink on the conductor body is baked appropriately, and wiring is formed appropriately straddling the circuit board and the conductor body.

  • Publication number: 20170280567
    Abstract: A manufacturing apparatus that includes a conveyance device that moves a stage, where an electronic device shaped by multiple layers is placed, in X-axis and Y-axis directions. A first shaping unit, a second shaping unit, and a component mounting unit are arranged within a range in which the stage can move. The manufacturing apparatus performs additive manufacturing of the electronic device on the stage by performing a sequential movement of the stage to respective working positions of different units. As a result, in this manufacturing apparatus, a workpiece on the stage does not have to be removed and repositioned during each work process such as shaping by a first shaping unit, shaping by a second shaping unit, and electronic component mounting by a component mounting unit.
