Disclosed is an apparatus for automatically supplying carrier tape, and more specifically, to an apparatus for automatically supplying a carrier tape and a method for automatically supplying carrier tape wherein carrier tape is enabled to be continuously and automatically supplied without stopping a process even if a structure or supply conditions of the carrier tape is changed. The apparatus for automatically supplying the carrier tape comprises an injection module comprising a height adjusting unit for enabling the continuous and automatic supply of one carrier tape in the middle of being supplied and one or more carrier tapes on standby, and a parts sensor for sensing parts of a carrier tape; and a pickup module for separating a cover tape form the carrier tape transferred from the injection module.

A receiver assembly can be coupled to a spindle to receive self-piercing rivets carried by a tape along a tape path below a punch. A reverse locking pawl can be designed to permit movement of the tape relative to the reverse locking pawl along the tape path in a forward direction and to engage a positioning aperture of the tape to stop movement of the tape in the reverse direction when a lead rivet is aligned with the punch. A method can include moving the tape forward along the tape path until a lead rivet of the tape is at a position along the tape path that is beyond an alignment position with the punch, and moving the tape in reverse to engage the corresponding positioning aperture.

A peeling apparatus according to an embodiment includes: a conveyance roller configured to convey a laminate made by peelably laminating a first substrate and a second substrate including an opening; a peel roller arranged facing the conveyance roller with the laminate interposed in between, and configured to peel the second substrate from the first substrate; a winding roller arranged away from the peel roller, and configured to wind the second substrate peeled from the first substrate; and an auxiliary winding roller arranged between the peel roller and the winding roller, and including a stepped portion configured to maintain a width of the opening.

Apparatuses and methods for storing and dispensing a continuous feed of adhesive bandages. In one embodiment, the apparatus comprises a housing, a cover, and a plurality of rotating elements which may comprise one or more spools and one or more rollers, wherein a continuous feed of bagged adhesive bandages may be dispensed from a spooled loading system. In one embodiment, the apparatus comprises a housing, a cover, a plurality of rotating elements which may comprise one or more spools and one or more rollers, and a bandage magazine, wherein a continuous feed of bagged adhesive bandages may be dispensed from a magazine loading system. Two embodiments of a method are presented which correspond to each embodiment of the apparatuses, and comprise individual steps of loading, storing, and dispensing a plurality of bagged adhesive bandages, wherein the dispensing further comprises individual steps of separating, removing, and collecting a bag within which an adhesive bandage may be stored.

The disclosure provides an attaching device for conductive adhesive tape and a manufacturing method of display panel. The attaching device disclosed herein comprises an adhesive tape attaching unit and a frame. An upper portion of the frame is provided with a first guide rail and a pair of second guide rails in parallel. The first guide rail is arranged to be perpendicular to the pair of second guide rails and movably connected between the pair of second guide rails. The adhesive tape attaching unit is movably mounted on the first guide rail. The attaching device for conductive adhesive tape and the manufacturing method of display panel according to the disclosure can attach the adhesive tape to a motherboard. The motherboard with the adhesive tape attached to can be cut to form a plurality of display panels. Therefore, it is possible to improve attaching efficiency and reduce cost of manufacturing.

The automation of the assembly of a stack of substrates in the process of forming an object includes a blanking die having a push through plate to drive the blanked sheets onto a set of locating pins, thereby creating a very accurate stack. An image forming device may print and develop images onto a web that is subsequently die cut and stacked onto a curing platen. The die cutter cuts individual sheets out of the web and cuts or pre-cuts alignment holes into each sheet that would be accepted by the curing platen having locating pins corresponding to the alignment holes in the sheet. The die cutting operation includes a tamping device that would accurately transfer the sheets from the die to the curing platen. This stack may then be removed and/or processed to form a 3D object.

An applicator for stamped parts. An example applicator includes a stamped part strip roll made of a stamped part strip, comprising a liner strip and stamped parts arranged separated from each other in a longitudinal direction on the liner strip. The applicator further includes a liner strip take-up reel and a dispensing edge, which is arranged between the stamped part strip roll and the liner strip take-up reel in the running direction, and around which the liner strip can be stripped off. The applicator additionally includes a suction belt, arranged at the dispensing edge, with a pressing surface on an applicator tip, on which the stamped part, detached from the stamped part strip and transferred to the suction belt, can be positioned.

A component supply device includes a reel placement portion capable of supporting a plurality of reels each on which a component supply tape is wound, and a feeder configured to feed the component supply tape toward a component supply position. The reel placement portion includes a first reel placement portion and a second reel placement portion including a first support configured to support an outer peripheral portion of a reel. The second reel placement portion is configured to change a position of the first support with respect to the feeder so as to change a distance between the feeder and the first support.

A receiver assembly can be coupled to a spindle to receive self-piercing rivets carried by a tape along a tape path below a punch. A reverse locking pawl can be designed to permit movement of the tape relative to the reverse locking pawl along the tape path in a forward direction and to engage a positioning aperture of the tape to stop movement of the tape in the reverse direction when a lead rivet is aligned with the punch. A method can include moving the tape forward along the tape path until a lead rivet of the tape is at a position along the tape path that is beyond an alignment position with the punch, and moving the tape in reverse to engage the corresponding positioning aperture.
