A method, apparatus, and system for reticulating an adhesive on a workpiece. The workpiece may be perforated with a plurality of passages that extend through a first side to a second side. To reticulate an adhesive on the first side of a workpiece, a flow of heated fluid is provided through a nozzle. The nozzle provides the fluid at a first pressure to a first group of the perforations. Once the temperature at the first side of the workpiece reaches a specified range, the fluid pressure may be increased or otherwise set in order to clear the perforations by forcing the adhesive out of or away from each of the perforations. Temperature of the adhesive, pressure within the nozzle, and/or light passage through the perforations may be monitored for logical control or quality assurance.

A method for manufacturing a composite includes providing a first template including a cutout for a first layer of the composite, disposing the first layer in the cutout, and disposing a tablet, provided with an adhesive, on the first layer such that the first layer adheres to the tablet. Next, the tablet is removed, together with the first layer adhered thereto, from the cutout, and an adhesive is applied to a side of the first layer facing away from the tablet. A second template is provided that includes a cutout for a second layer of the composite, and then the second layer is disposed in the cutout. The tablet, together with the first layer adhered thereto, is disposed on the second layer disposed in the cutout of the second template, and the tablet is removed, together with the composite produced from the first and second layers, from the second template.

Provided is a system for manufacturing a display unit, the system including: a carrying unit which carries an optical film including a polarizing film including an adhesive layer and a release film to which the polarizing film is bonded to be peeled off through the adhesive layer; a cutting unit which cuts the optical film by a predetermined depth, in which the release film is not cut, and forms a polarizing film sheet piece on the optical film; a peeling unit which peels the polarizing film sheet piece from the release film; and an attachment unit which attaches the polarizing film sheet piece peeled from the release film to a panel, in which the attachment unit includes: a pair of attachment rolls which presses and attaches the polarizing film sheet piece onto one surface of the panel; and a magnetic force generating unit or a suction part, which suppresses an upper attachment roll positioned at an upper side between the pair of attachment rolls from sagging by using magnetic force or suction.

A lamination machine has at least one material source for material to be laminated. The lamination machine has at least one lamination unit. The lamination machine also has at least one lamination source for at least one web-shaped lamination material, and has at least one drawing assembly which can be moved along at least one drawing path. The drawing assembly is arranged, or can be arranged, at least temporarily at least within the lamination unit, in order to draw the lamination material. Sections of the at least one drawing path are arranged at a distance of at least one centimeter in an axial direction from each part of the transport path which is provided within the lamination unit for the at least one lamination material.

There is provided a pressure maintaining and alignment device, comprising a box body that is open at its front side to form an outer opening having a certain depth; a cover assembly for opening and closing outer opening; a pushing assembly disposed on a rear side of box body for selectively clamping a product to be pressure-maintained; and a pressing assembly located at a rear side of the pushing assembly; wherein pressing assembly comprises a pushing rod and a pressing plate, at least one pressing arm extending to above the box body is provided at top of pressing plate, an alignment adjusting assembly is provided between pressing arm and box body, and pressing plate selectively pushes alignment adjusting assembly by the pressing arm under driving of pushing rod, so that the product to be pressure-maintained in the box body is selectively pressed, pressure-maintained and aligned.

A method and apparatus for securing a zipper closure to polymeric film using minimal tension on the zipper closure includes providing first and second tension control loops, an eyemark detector, and a hole punch programmed to punch a hole in the zipper closure upon detection of the eyemark. The zipper closure and the film are supplied to a sealing station at the same speed, and the hole zipper closure is aligned with the eyemark on the film, to result in sealing the strip of zipper closure to the film resulting in minimal wrinkles to the resulting bag.

A substrate laminating apparatus, including a first vacuum chamber including a first opening; a first table provided inside the first opening for holding a first substrate; a second vacuum chamber including a second opening; a second table provided inside the second opening for holding a second substrate, wherein the substrates are laminated by reducing a pressure in a closed space formed by having the first opening faced with the second opening. The apparatus also includes a vacuum evacuation unit connected to the first vacuum chamber or the second vacuum chamber and performs reduced-pressure evacuation of the closed space. When there is a direction along which priority is given on lamination precision when laminating the first and second substrates, and the direction is defined as a lamination precision priority direction, a reduced-pressure evacuation direction done by the vacuum evacuation unit is a direction different from the lamination precision priority direction.

Provided is a substrate holding unit that holds a pair of substrates that are aligned and layered, comprising a first holding member that holds one of the substrates; a plurality of members to be joined that are connected to the first holding member; a second holding member that holds the other of the substrates to face the one of the substrates; a plurality of joining members that exert an adhesion force on the members to be joined and are connected to the second holding member at positions corresponding to positions of the members to be joined; and an adhesion restricting section that restricts the adhesion force until the substrates are aligned.

Methods for manufacturing printed laminates or elastic printed laminates are disclosed. The printed laminates may have a first extensible material and a second extensible material. The first extensible material may have a plurality of repeating graphic sets each having a repeating graphic set length. The first extensible material may have a first strain and the second extensible material may have a second, different strain. The second strain may be constant. The first strain may be variable to correspond to the repeating graphic set lengths to a predetermined laminate pitch. The first and second extensible material may be joined together at a point of joinder. An elastic member, such as a plurality of elastic strands, for example, may be positioned intermediate the first and second extensible materials to form an elastic laminate.
