The invention relates to a method and a device for applying a strip-shaped material (28) onto a contact area (60) of an object that is limited by at least one second section emanating from the first section, whereby the strip-shaped material is applied in a direction of application (70) onto the contact area by a pressure element (30) and the pressure element emanates from a pivotable pivoting element (20) that is connected to a holder. In order to make a completely automated application of the strip-shaped material onto the object possible, it is suggested that the actively pivotable pivoting element (20) is pivoted during the application of the strip-shaped material (28) onto the contact area (60) in and/or counter to the direction of application (70) and executes a lifting movement during the course of the pivoting movement.

An apparatus and a method for dispensing discrete sections of double-sided adhesive tape, comprising a reel support unit whose position is adjustable so as to vary a length of the section of double-sided adhesive tape to be dispensed.

An application apparatus that includes: a base unit comprising a first end, a second end, and a connection device that extends along a base unit axis from the first end to the second end; an application unit securely coupled to the second end, wherein the application unit is configured to apply a strip to a workpiece; and a redirection unit pivotably coupled to the base unit. The application unit comprises a first input guiding element configured to supply the strip to the application unit. The redirection unit is configured such that the strip can wrap around the redirection unit and be guided from an axial receiving position to an axial discharge position, wherein the axial receiving position is spaced apart from the axial discharge position in an axial direction of the axis. The first input guiding element of the application unit is spaced apart from the axial receiving position.

A system comprising: a source of a tape comprising a material associated with an adhesive and at least one removable liner; an applicator head; a cutting mechanism; at least one drive feeding mechanism configured to index the tape from the source to the applicator head at a controlled rate; wherein the applicator head is controllable to apply the material on a surface or a substrate; and wherein the applicator head comprises a cutting mechanism configured to sever the material while leaving the at least one removable liner intact.

A thermal conduction sheet holder include, in the following order, an elongated carrier film, a plurality of thermal conduction sheets, and an elongated cover film covering the plurality of thermal conduction sheets, the shortest distance between adjacent thermal conduction sheets is 2 mm or more, the plurality of thermal conduction sheets are disposed at intervals in a longitudinal direction of the carrier film and the cover film, and the plurality of thermal conduction sheets are peelable from the cover film and the carrier film.

A component supply apparatus includes a tape conveying path that includes, both on an upstream side thereof: a first conveying route into which a carrier tape is inserted; and a second conveying route that is positioned under the first conveying route, the first conveying route and the second conveying route joining each other to guide traveling of the carrier tape in a downstream direction, a first tape conveying part that sequentially conveys the carrier tape in the tape conveying path present more downstream than a position at which the first conveying route and the second conveying route join each other, to a component taking out position in the tape conveying path, a tape holding part that holds the carrier tape in at least a portion of the first conveying route, a second tape conveying part that conveys the carrier tape held by the tape holding part, in the downstream direction of the tape conveying path, a tape holding releasing mechanism that causes the carrier tape held by the tape holding part to drop from the first conveying route onto the second conveying route. The tape holding releasing mechanism operates by using motivity of a driving source of the second tape conveying part.

Methods produce adhesive rolls having adhesive elements and comprise a) producing a dispenser material tape in a dispenser arrangement and comprising a multiplicity of adhesive elements, wherein the dispenser arrangement is configured to separate the adhesive elements from a web-shaped first release material in a dispensing region and to output them from the dispenser arrangement, b) producing receiving arrangements comprising a feed roller, a receiving roller, a guide arrangement, and a web-shaped second release material, c) guiding the dispenser material tape through the dispensing region, d) rolling the second release materials onto the receiving rollers, and e) outputting adhesive elements from the dispenser arrangement in the dispensing region and, in each case, transferring some of the output adhesive elements into the receiving regions.
