A lamination device and a lamination method for attaching a film layer onto a substrate are provided. The lamination device includes a platform configured to carry and deliver a substrate, a layer application member configured to apply the film layer onto a surface of the substrate, a first roller configured to roll on the substrate having the film layer to perform a smoothing and bubble-removing operation, a deformable layer arranged on the first roller and capable of being deformed to change a rolling dot pattern at an outer circumferential surface of the first roller, thereby to enable the rolling dot pattern to match the surface of the substrate, and an alignment mechanism configured to align the substrate with the first roller.

The present disclosure relates to a method for teaching a laminating method as well as operating a laminating device, the both being for laminating a film element on a substrate part, in which designated path routes, in particular designated path curves, along which grippers for gripping the film element are subsequently moved to laminate the film element, are determined and taught by way of CAD data of the substrate part as well as the film element.

Position detection of a target sheet is facilitated without requiring a register mark. A connectable disposable wear article having a crotch portion M including a center in a front-back direction LD, a ventral side part F extending forward from the center in the front-back direction LD, and a dorsal side part B extending backward from the center in the front-back direction LD, connecting portions 83 to be detachably connected to an outer surface of the ventral side part F being provided on both side portions of the dorsal side part B, a target sheet 20 to which the connecting portions 83 are connected being provided on the outer surface of the ventral side part F, in which a whiteness of all corner portions 21 on at least one of an inner surface and an outer surface of the target sheet 20 is 80% or more.

Methods are provided for laminating interior components in vehicles, the methods include the acts of: providing at least one laminating element; providing at least one laminant; providing at least one interior component; laminating the interior component with the laminating element and the laminant, the lamination of the interior component with the laminating element and the laminant being performed in a substantially continuous process.

A laminating apparatus for laminating an adhesive film on a bent or curved cover window includes a rotation shaft extending in a first direction, a first frame configured to support the cover window, and including a first plate and a second plate facing each other to define an angle therebetween, and a curved connection portion between the first plate and the second plate, and a roller portion above the first frame, extending in the first direction, and configured to move in a second direction that is perpendicular to the first direction, wherein the first frame is configured to rotate with respect to the rotation shaft according to movement of the roller portion to bond the adhesive film to the cover window.

A screen film applicator includes a seat, a positioning member, and a first mechanism, the latter two of which are disposed on the seat. The seat has a track and a positioning portion arranged beside the track. The positioning member is movable with respect to the positioning portion for clamping a communication device. The first mechanism includes a top fixing member disposed on the seat, a moving carriage movable along the track, a bottom fixing member synchronously movable with the moving carriage, and a roller movable with the moving carriage. The top and the bottom fixing members are configured to respectively fix a top releasing film and a bottom releasing film respectively adhered on two opposite sides of a soft screen film. When the moving carriage is moved away from the top fixing member, the roller can gradually press the soft screen film onto the communication device.

According to an embodiment, a support module is provided for supporting a substrate. The support module may include a chuck and a vertical stage. The chuck may include multiple chuck segments that are independently movable. When the substrate is positioned on the chuck, different chuck segments are positioned under different areas of the substrate. The vertical stage may include multiple piezoelectric motors. Each piezoelectric motor may be configured to perform nanometric scale elevation and lowering movements. The multiple piezoelectric motors may be configured to independently move the multiple chuck segments.

The present disclosure relates to segmented transfer tapes useful in the transfer of only a portion of the segments of the transfer tapes and methods of making thereof. The segmented transfer tapes include a removable template layer having a structured surface; a transfer layer comprising a backfill layer, wherein the backfill layer has a structured first major surface, and an adhesive layer; at least one transferable segment formed in the transfer layer; at least one non-transferable segment formed in the transfer layer, the at least one non-transferable segment includes an adhesive surface, wherein a passivating layer is disposed on at least a portion of the adhesive surface of the at least one non-transferrable segment; and at least one kerf extending from the first major surface of the adhesive layer and into at least a portion of the removable template layer. The present disclosure also provides micro-optical assemblies and methods of making micro-optical assemblies from the segmented transfer tapes.

A laminating apparatus may include a first conveyor unit having a conveyance speed; a laminating unit disposed downstream of the first conveyor unit, wherein the laminating unit laminates a surface of a glass sheet with a film in a single stroke with the conveyance speed; and at least one first imaging unit disposed upstream of the laminating unit, the at least one first imaging unit correcting a position of the glass sheet entering the laminating unit.
