The subject matter of the present invention is a method and a device for producing an adhesive tape (1). First a material web (2) comprising a carrier tape material is supplied from an unwinding unit (3). The supplied material web (2) is subsequently provided on at least one surface with at least one adhesive strip (4) in a coating unit (6). The material web (2) provided with the adhesive strip (4) is then cut into at least two longitudinal strips with the aid of a cutting device (10) and made up into individual adhesive tapes (1). According to the invention, a sensor (8, 9) scanning the material web is used to align the material web (2) and/or the cutting device (10) in the transverse direction (Q) in such a way that a longitudinal cut (S) respectively produced with the aid of the cutting device (10) is introduced in an exact position into the material web (2).

Method and apparatus for producing RFID transponders (400) arranged on a carrying substrate, comprising:providing a first substrate (100), the first substrate having at least one antenna element (101) arranged thereon, and preferably several antenna elements arranged sequentially thereon along a longitudinal extension of the first substrate, each antenna element being formed by an electrically conductive pattern; providing a second substrate (200), the second substrate (200) having at least one RFID strap, each RFID strap comprising an IC (202) and at least one contact pad (201) coupled to the IC, and preferably several RFID straps being arranged sequentially along a longitudinal extension of the second substrate; and electrically connecting an antenna element (101) on the first substrate to the at least one contact pad on the second substrate by bringing said first and second substrates together, thereby bringing said antenna element in mechanical contact with said at least one contact pad, and heating the contact pad(s) to a temperature at least equal to a characteristic melting point of said at least contact pads, thereby electrically connecting the antenna element to said at least one contact pad.

Novel materials and devices can remove small defects from long rolls of flexible electronics material while they are in continuous motion. The cleaning materials are designed to remove small particles without transferring defects or damaging the flexible electronics. The device generally consists of variable speed, motor-driven cylinders mounted on movable brackets. The cylinders are capable of matching the speed of the cleaning material such that the cleaning material is always in contact with the web roll to be cleaned. The brackets are capable of rotating so the same material can be used more than once. Another material is used to remove debris from the cleaning material. A similar device consisting of motor-driven cylinders and movable is used to apply the debris removal film to the cleaning film, allowing the cleaning film to be used multiple times.

An inkjet printer is provided. An inkjet printer includes; a heater for heating up a medium after a printing operation, a second heater for further heating up the medium after the medium is heated up by the heater, a frame to which the second heater is fixed, and a wound roll holder for holding a wound roll that is the medium, being wound like a roll after the printing operation. The wound roll is placed at a position lower than the heater. The second heater is movable in relation to the frame, between a first position, where the second heater is placed at a location of a lower side of the heater and a front side of the wound roll, and a second position, where the second heater is placed at a location of an upper side of the wound roll.

An apparatus for manufacturing electrical energy storage devices, comprising a path for feeding material with intermittent feed and two machining stations arranged one after the other in the feed path, in which each machining station is movable on a linear guide at the command of a motor to vary its position along the feed path and enable the mutual distance between the two machining stations to be adjusted in function of the step of intermittent feed of the material, so that the apparatus is adaptable to the change in product size.

A conveying apparatus includes: a first roller and a second roller configured to convey a print sheet while nipping the print sheet at a nip pressure; an adjustor supporting the first roller and the second roller in a manner capable of adjusting an inter-axial distance between the first roller and the second roller, the adjustor being configured to apply a biasing force biasing the second roller toward the first roller and capable of adjusting the biasing force; and a controller configured to control the nip pressure by driving the adjustor to adjust the biasing force.

A method is disclosed for transferring a film, preferably a wound-on stretch film, wound onto a winding mandrel, oriented in particular vertically and preferably supported exclusively in the region of its upper end, of an unwrapping apparatus, such that when the transfer position of the winding mandrel is reached, the film wound onto the winding mandrel is pulled off the winding mandrel by means of at least one transfer device and delivered to a disposal area. An apparatus for transferring a film, preferably a wound-on stretch film, wound onto a winding mandrel, oriented in particular vertically and preferably supported exclusively in the region of its upper end, of an unwrapping apparatus, is disclosed. The apparatus encompasses at least one transfer device for pulling off the film wound onto the winding mandrel when the transfer position of the winding mandrel is reached.

The present invention is in the field of A roll-to-roll apparatus for processing metal tapes with a ceramic coating. In particular, the present invention relates to a roll-to-roll apparatus for pro-cessing metal tapes with a ceramic coating comprising at least two rolls with fixed axis position, and at least one roll with variable axis position to adjust the tape position and/or tension, wherein the position and the diameter of the rolls are adjusted to touch the metal tape only from one side and to limit the stress on the metal tape at any point such that the metal tape is not stretched by more than 0.15%.

A method and apparatus for continuous web processing systems for pre-lithiating Li-ion battery substrates is provided. The modular processing system comprises a common transfer chamber body defining a transfer volume.
