  • Patent number: 10040224
    Abstract: An optical shaping method according to the present invention is an optical shaping method for shaping a three-dimensional structure by repeating a process for forming a cured resin layer 53 by irradiating an optically curing resin liquid 51 with light so that cured resin layers 53 are laminated. The process for forming the cured resin layer 53 includes, while applying a sheet light Ls to the optically curing resin liquid 51, applying a first light beam L1 intersecting the sheet light Ls to this optically curing resin liquid, and thereby forming the cured resin layer 53 in an area where the sheet light Ls intersects the first light beam L1. The irradiation place of the sheet light Ls is moved and the process for forming the cured resin layer 53 is repeated.

  • Patent number: 8286336
    Abstract: A lead wire insertion device includes a first chuck member and a second chuck member, each of which is separable, and connects a coil terminal of a cassette coil to a terminal of a connection terminal. The first chuck member is divided into the first chuck inner member and a first chuck outer member at a first division position that is inside both ends of a cross section of the coil terminal in a lateral direction, and that is offset from a center of the cross section in the lateral direction. The second chuck member is divided into the second chuck inner member and a second chuck outer member at a second division position that is inside the both ends of the cross section of the coil terminal in the lateral direction, and that is offset from a center of the cross section in the lateral direction.

  • Patent number: 7872559
    Abstract: A rectangular coil unit 1 is manufactured in such a manner that four wires 2 are simultaneously regularly wound on four outer surfaces of a bobbin 3 having a rectangular section so that the wires 2 advance obliquely together for a lane change corresponding to 0.5 wire on one (a lower surface side) of a pair of parallel surfaces of the four outer surfaces of the bobbin 3 and for a lane change corresponding to 3.5 wires on the other one (an upper surface side) of the parallel surfaces.

  • Patent number: 7614579
    Abstract: A winding apparatus comprises first and second nozzles, each of which is configured to allow two wires to pass therethrough, and a nozzle holder which holds the nozzles in parallel with each other. A total of four wires is supplied and regularly wound on a bobbin. A first motor, a driven gear, and a drive gear are provided to rotate the nozzle holder about its axis substantially parallel to the nozzles. The nozzle holder holds the nozzles separately to be rotatable about respective axes. Second and third motors, driven gears, and drive gears are provided for rotating the nozzles about respective axes.

  • Publication number: 20030145948
    Abstract: A electronic component fixing method comprising: (a) applying first conductive bonding agent (3) onto first lands of a circuit board; (b) disposing first electronic component (2) on the first conductive bonding agent, followed by melting and hardening the first conductive bonding agent to bond and fix electrodes of the first electronic component on the first land; (c) fixing the first electronic component on the board by non-conductive adhesive (5); and (d) bonding and fixing electrodes of second electronic component on second lands of the board by second conductive bonding agent. Further, in one preferred embodiment, a melting temperature of the second conductive bonding agent is not less than a melting temperature of the first conductive bonding agent. According to the present invention, no accurate control of a position of application of the non-conductive adhesive is needed, making it very easy to perform the electronic component fixing operation.
