A double-sided coating device includes: a conveying mechanism for a base material that includes a first surface and a second surface; a first die that applies a first coating material onto the first surface; and a second die that applies a second coating material onto the second surface. The conveying mechanism includes: a roll that conveys the base material, in which the position at which the base material separates from the circumferential surface is higher than a target coating height of the base material; and a drawing section that draws the base material such as to bring the base material closer to the target coating height.

The inventive concept provides a substrate treating apparatus. The substrate treating apparatus includes a chamber providing a treating space; and a fluid supply unit supplying a treating fluid to the chamber, and wherein the fluid supply unit includes: a supply tank storing the treating fluid; a supply line connecting the supply tank and the chamber; and a plurality of valves installed at the supply line, and wherein any one valve among the plurality of valves is provided as a safety valve, and wherein the safety valve is opened after confirming that the chamber has been switched to a closed state when supplying the treating fluid from a tank to the chamber.

Disclosed is a workpiece processing apparatus that performs a predetermined processing on a workpiece. The workpiece processing apparatus includes: a workpiece table configured to place the workpiece thereon; a processor configured to process the workpiece placed on the workpiece table; a movement mechanism configured to relatively move the workpiece table and the processor; a position measuring device configured to measure a position of the movement mechanism; a detector configured to detect a position of the workpiece placed on the workpiece table; and a corrector configured to calculate a positional correction amount of the workpiece table based on a measurement result of the position measuring device and a detection result of the detector.

The robotic device conducts an action on a curved ferromagnetic surface. The robotic device includes a chassis platform and at least one magnetic side drive module. The chassis platform rolls on the curved ferromagnetic surface and is maintained thereon by virtue of the curved ferromagnetic surface being ferromagnetic. The at least one magnetic side drive module is pivotally attached to the chassis platform and is for conducting the action on the curved ferromagnetic surface as the chassis platform rolls on the curved ferromagnetic surface.

Systems for creating electrodes for polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells include an XY stage having a heated vacuum table physically coupled to the XY stage. The vacuum table has a working face with a plurality of channels formed therein to communicate vacuum pressure from a port coupled to a vacuum source to the channels. A sheet of perforated heat-conductive material has staggered holes configured to evenly distribute the vacuum pressure from the channels through the perforated sheet. A heat-conductive wire mesh is placed over the perforated sheet, and has openings smaller than the staggered holes such that a membrane material placed on the wire mesh is not deformed by the vacuum pressure. A nanopipette or micropipette coupled to a pump is configured to deposit electrode ink onto an exposed surface of the membrane material as the controller device causes the XY stage to move the vacuum table to control deposition of the electrode ink onto the surface of the membrane material.

A dispensing system includes a frame, a support coupled to the frame, a dispensing unit configured to dispense viscous material, and a gantry assembly coupled to the frame. The gantry assembly includes a gantry configured to support the dispensing unit and to move the dispensing unit in x-axis, y-axis and z-axis directions and a tilt and rotate subassembly configured to tilt and rotate the dispensing unit. The dispensing system further includes a controller configured to control dispensing unit and the gantry assembly to perform a dispense operation on the electronic substrate. The controller is configured to simultaneously coordinate the movement of the gantry assembly and the tilt and rotate subassembly to position and orient the nozzle of the dispensing unit a predetermined distance and orientation from the electronic substrate while dispensing material along a three-dimensional path.

An ink jet process is used to deposit a material layer to a desired thickness. Layout data is converted to per-cell grayscale values, each representing ink volume to be locally delivered. The grayscale values are used to generate a halftone pattern to deliver variable ink volume (and thickness) to the substrate. The halftoning provides for a relatively continuous layer (e.g., without unintended gaps or holes) while providing for variable volume and, thus, contributes to variable ink/material buildup to achieve desired thickness. The ink is jetted as liquid or aerosol that suspends material used to form the material layer, for example, an organic material used to form an encapsulation layer for a flat panel device. The deposited layer is then cured or otherwise finished to complete the process.
