Publication number: 20170291308Abstract: In a suction nozzle 66 which sucks and holds a component 150 on a suction surface by using negative pressure air and detaches the sucked and held component from the suction surface by using positive pressure air, the positive pressure air and the negative pressure air used when the component is held and detached selectively flow through through-holes 90, 94 and 96, air flow path 116, or the like. In addition, a rod 110 is held to be capable of being advanced and retracted toward the suction surface in an inside section of the suction nozzle. The rod protrudes from the suction surface by the positive pressure air flowing through the air flow path and is retracted to the inside section of the suction nozzle when the negative pressure flows through the air flow path. In other words, the through-hole, the air flow path, or the like is shared as a mechanism for moving the rod and a mechanism for sucking and holding the component by the suction nozzle.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 10, 2014Publication date: October 12, 2017Applicant: FUJI MACHINE MFG.

Publication number: 20170291350Abstract: A method for applying a layer having a relief on a substrate includes, steps of securing the substrate, applying a layer of a curable liquid on the substrate, bringing a mould having a relief being the negative of the relief to be provided on the substrate, into contact with a part of the upper surface of the liquid layer, curing the liquid layer while the mould is in contact with the liquid and separating the mould from the substrate. Initially the mould is brought into contact with the liquid in a bent position while the substrate is kept flat and subsequently the mould is brought into contact over an increasing surface area keeping the mould in a bent position until the complete liquid layer is in contact with the mould.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 12, 2017Publication date: October 12, 2017Inventors: Erik Luursema, Jurgen Kremer

Publication number: 20170291356Abstract: In a stereolithography apparatus according to an embodiment, for example, a first optical system emits a first light to a photocurable material. A second optical system emits a second light to the photocurable material such that the second light linearly intersects the first light in a first direction in the photocurable material. An area setter sets, for at least one of the first light and the second light, a first area and a second area having different optical properties from each other, at an intersection of the first light and the second light in the first direction. A moving mechanism moves the intersection of the first light and the second light. The stereolithography apparatus cures the photocurable material at the intersection of the first light and the second light.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 17, 2015Publication date: October 12, 2017Applicant: Kabushiki Kaisha ToshibaInventors: Kosuke ADACHI, Shinobu OOFUCHI, Kodo YAMANOUCHI, Shogo SUZUMURA, Yasuaki HADAME, Masaomi NAKAHATA, Yuichiro YAMAMOTO
