Plastic parts are welded with a true 3D volumetric weld using intersecting multi-beam trace laser welding in which a plurality of spot laser beams having the same wavelength are directed to the so that the laser beams intersect each other at a point along a weld path within one of the plastic parts at an angle in an intersection angle range between ten degrees and ninety degrees. The plurality of laser beams are traced so that the intersection of the plurality of laser beams traces along the weld path to form a weld pattern that is linear, curvilinear, planar or three dimensional along a joint that is inside a volume of plastic. The plastic part in which the laser beams intersect is partially absorptive to laser light at a wavelength and the laser beams have this wavelength.

An optical bonding machine is provided, including a transparent datum located within the optical bonding machine, wherein the transparent datum supports a first substrate, a robotic placement head configured to pick up a second substrate and place the second substrate into contact with the first substrate, on the transparent datum, a camera disposed proximate the transparent datum, the camera capturing a video of a flow of an optically clear adhesive between the first substrate and the second substrate, and a curing source disposed proximate the transparent datum, the curing source emitting UV rays that pass through the transparent datum and the first substrate to cure an optically clear adhesive between a bonded substrate comprising the first substrate, the optically clear adhesive, and the second substrate. An associated method is also provided.

A decal marker used with a marking station interchangeably carries a decal tape and a marking tape and transfers a decal from the decal tape to a surface to be marked. A marking assembly frame and at least one marker carried by the marking assembly frame which carries the decal tape or the marking tape are included. A tape sensor assembly is carried by the at least one marker and detects an edge of the decal so that the at least one marker properly positions the decal for transfer to the surface.

A labelling unit and a method for labelling containers is provided. Said method provides rapid and reliable switching movements with low noise development and low wear of the mechanical components in that suction bars for suctioning label areas at places where container gaps occur can be actively switched back to an inner position, in which they do not come into contact with a gluing unit, and in that the switching process is triggered with the aid of a stationary toggle lever.

[Object] To provide a tube joining device in which the degree of freedom of device design is improved.

[Solving Means] A tube joining device 1 includes a delivery mechanism 500. The delivery mechanism includes a first pusher member 542 that is provided to perform forward movement and backward movement along a delivery direction and delivers a wafer WF to a first position PS2 that is set between a take-out position PS1 at which the wafer WF is taken out from a cassette WC and a stand-by position PS3, and a second pusher member 543 that is provided to perform forward movement and backward movement along the delivery direction in combination with the first pusher member, and delivers the wafer from the first position to the stand-by position. An operation of delivering the wafer by the first pusher member is capable of being switched to an operation of delivering the wafer by the second pusher member in synchronization with forward movement and backward movement of the first pusher member and the second pusher member.

A feeder includes a first sprocket disposed downstream in a conveyance direction and including a first protrusion that engages with a carrier tape, a second sprocket disposed upstream in the conveyance direction, including a second protrusion that engages with the carrier tape, and that rotates in synchronization with the first sprocket, and a phase adjustment mechanism that adjusts a phase of the second sprocket around a rotation center of the second sprocket.

A bonding device includes an upper chamber a pad with which a display substrate is pressable to a substrate; a stage between a lower chamber and the pad and including an opening through which air is introduced; a molding member between an upper chamber and the pad and surrounding the pad and the opening; and a support member connected to the stage The display substrate disposed on the molding member disposes first and second portions of the display substrate overlapping the planar and bending portions of the substrate, respectively, the molding member presses the first portion to the planar portion, and air introduced through the opening, expands the molding member to press the second portion to the bending portion.

A device for the automatic fitting of vehicle registration plates with data carriers. A plurality of work stations interlinked by at least one conveyor are provided for this purpose. The work stations are equipped with handling devices and associated imaging devices. As a result, a respective data carrier can be automatically gripped and placed in its precise position in the opening and prefixed there. The data carriers are then each cast automatically in the opening for the permanent fixation of the data carrier in the opening of the registration plate.
