  • Publication number: 20260208474
    Abstract: A press device is configured to transfer a transfer body to a substrate sheet. The press device has a transfer sheet roll body around which a transfer sheet including the transfer body is wound, a transfer roller which transfers the transfer body to the substrate sheet, and an expander roll which applies a tension to the transfer sheet. The expander roll is disposed upstream of the transfer roller in a conveyance direction of the substrate sheet, and applies the tension to the transfer sheet in a width direction.

  • Publication number: 20260184061
    Abstract: A peeling mechanism is configured to peel a base material from a transfer body transferred to a substrate sheet. The peeling mechanism has a peeling roller which peels the base material from the transfer body, and a base material roll body which winds the base material peeled by the peeling roller. The peeling roller peels the base material in a direction opposite to a conveyance direction of the substrate sheet.

  • Publication number: 20190131752
    Abstract: A device capable of improving quality of welding by improving estimation precision of coating removal completion of a conductor which is an ultrasonic welding target is provided. An ultrasonic vibration energy (E) of a horn (11) is adjusted based on magnitude of a displacement amount (a reference displacement amount (?Z)) of the horn (11) during at least a partial period of a period from a state in which an FFC and a PCB are interposed by the horn (11) and an anvil (12), through a “first stable state” in which a displacement speed (v) of the horn (11) is stable in a first speed zone in a course in which the displacement speed (v) of the horn (11) increases, until a “second stable state” in which the displacement speed (v) is stable in a second speed zone of a higher speed zone than the first speed zone.

  • Publication number: 20190098766
    Abstract: A PCB (1) has a reinforcing member (12) composed of a material having a higher melting point than a synthetic resin constituting a substrate (10). A first reinforcing member (121) constituting the reinforcing member (12) is composed of a substantially tabular or belt-shaped metal buried in the substrate (10), the metal being at least partially overlapped with an upper surface wire (11). A second reinforcing member (122) constituting the reinforcing member (12) is composed of a substantially columnar metal which is connected to the lower surface of the upper surface wire (11) and physically, chemically or mechanically connected to the first reinforcing member (121), and which vertically extends, in the same manner as a via (111).

  • Publication number: 20190084078
    Abstract: A device capable of improving estimation precision of coating removal completion of a conductor which is an ultrasonic welding target is provided. A displacement speed v of the horn (11) is chronologically measured. A progress situation of the melting and removal of an insulating coating C0 (a synthetic resin included in the insulating coating C0) between both conductors C1 and C2 which are welding targets is estimated based on a transition form from a “first stable state” in which the displacement speed v is stable in a first speed zone to a “second stable state” in which the displacement speed v is stable in a second speed zone of a higher speed zone than the first speed zone in a course in which the displacement speed v of the horn (11) increases.

  • Publication number: 20190084077
    Abstract: An electronic circuit board provided with a substrate, including a synthetic resin and having a conductor bonded to the upper surface, and an ultrasonic bonding method, the electronic circuit board and the ultrasonic bonding method enabling improved quality of bonding of another conductor to the conductor on the upper surface of the electronic circuit board. PCB (1) (an electronic circuit board) has a substrate (10) including first synthetic resin and a plurality of first conductors (11) bonded or attached to the upper surface of the substrate (10). The peripheral edge portion of the upper surface of each first conductor (11) is at least partly covered by a partial cover (12) (or an overlay) composed of second synthetic resin. The outer edge portion of the second synthetic resin constituting the partial cover (12) is integrally bonded to or in close contact with the first synthetic resin constituting the substrate (10).

  • Patent number: 6923363
    Abstract: A bonding agent for metals or ceramics comprising 0.25 to 18.0% by weight of a powder of Mg and 25 to 50% by weight of a hydroxyl solvent, the balance of its composition being a powder of AlN. The bonding agent having the constituents stated above has a large amount of reaction heat generated by the reaction of its constituents. This reaction heat destroys thermally any strong oxide film existing on the surface of a base body or a part to be joined thereto, and forming a barrier layer hindering their bonding when the base body and the part to be joined thereto are of an aluminum alloy.
