Method for producing separated strip-like laminate components comprising an electronic component embedded between two laminate layers of a tape like adhesive material, and device for producing such laminate components
A method for producing separated strip-like laminate components including an electronic component embedded between two laminate layers of a tape-like material. Individual components are placed at defined intervals by a placement device onto a tape-like, lower first laminate layer moved in a conveying direction by a transport device, after which a tape-like, upper second laminate layer moved in the conveying direction is applied to the first laminate layer with embedding of the components to form a laminate tape. The individual strip-like laminate components are cut from the laminate tape by a cutting device having a movable cutting blade, which laminate components are picked up by a gripper device and transported away. The front end of the laminate tape is gripped by the gripper device in the region of a component and moved synchronously with the clocked movement of the transport device by a predetermined distance through the cutting device and positioned relative to the cutting blade. The actual position of the component in the laminate component in relation to the conveying direction is detected by a measuring device connected downstream of the cutting device. When a deviation of the actual position from a defined target position is detected, the synchronous movement of the transport device and the gripper device is controlled in dependence on the detected deviation.
