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.

A method of installing a glass panel on a vehicle that includes an opaque coating formed about a perimeter of the glass panel that includes a plurality of voids where the opaque coating is absent. The method includes determining whether a primer has been applied to the opaque coating by inspecting the glass panel to determine whether at least some of the plurality of voids have been covered by the primer. After determining whether a primer has been applied to the opaque coating, it is determined whether the primer has been correctly applied to the opaque coating by inspecting the glass panel to determine whether each of the plurality of voids has been covered by the primer. Then, after determining whether the primer has been correctly applied, an adhesive may be applied to the primer and the glass panel may be installed on the vehicle.

A coating device coats a coating region of a to-be-coated object having a convex curved surface. A coating device includes a head, an arm, and a controller. The head includes a nozzle surface. The arm holds the head. The controller controls movement of the head via the arm. A controller moves a head in a first direction along an end portion of a coating region in a posture in which a gap between a nozzle surface located on an end portion side of the coating region and a to-be-coated object is smaller than a gap between the nozzle surface located on a center side of the coating region and the to-be-coated object.

An adhesive coating device for coating an inner wall surface of a workpiece provided with holes with an adhesive. A control device automatically executes an operation of applying the adhesive, the operation including positioning of the workpiece, relative positioning of a nozzle that applies the adhesive in a non-contact manner with respect to the workpiece, and moving of the nozzle, in which the adhesive is ejected and applied in an oblique direction from the nozzle to the inner wall surface of the hole, and the angle of the oblique direction is such an angle that the adhesive linearly ejected from the nozzle located outside the hole can be applied to the inner wall surface of the hole with a desired depth without interfering with an opening part of the hole.

A coating device coats a to-be-coated object including a recessed portion extending in a first direction. The coating device includes a head, an arm, and a controller. The head includes a nozzle surface. The arm holds the head. The controller controls movement of the head via the arm. The controller moves the head in the first direction while causing the nozzle surface and the recessed portion to face each other in a posture in which a length of a first component along the first direction of the head is larger than a length of a second component of the head intersecting the first component.

The present disclosure is applicable to the technical field of metering and distributing of an adhesive dispensing machine, and provides a machine learning-based flexible intelligent adhesive dispensing method. Specific steps are as follows: first, establishing a reference process database; second, performing coarse scanning on a product tray by a scanning module, identifying a product model number, directly calling adhesive dispensing data fitted in a previous period by the central control system according to the product model number, and controlling the adhesive dispensing module to roughly adjust an adhesive dispensing posture; three, performing precise scanning on a body of each shaped charge in the product tray through the scanning module, performing real-time classification and fitting on the data of the product tray through the central control system, and correcting the called adhesive dispensing data through the fitted data; and fourth, executing an adhesive dispensing action by an adhesive dispensing machine table according to newest adhesive dispensing data. According to the method, the mixed-line and mixed-type continuous automatic adhesive dispensing operation of shaped charges is realized, which greatly reduces or eliminates the debugging cost, shortens the production cycle of new products, and has relatively strong industrial promotion and application value.

Methods of dispensing fluid are disclosed. A first applicator is positioned above a first dispense site at a first dispense region of a first electronic substrate by moving the first applicator using a primary positioner. A second applicator is simultaneously positioned above a first dispense site at a second dispense region of the first electronic substrate by moving the second applicator together with the first applicator using the primary positioner and moving the second applicator relative to the first applicator using a secondary positioner. It is then determined that the first or the second dispense region is misaligned relative to the other of the first or the second dispense region. Fluid is dispensed from the first applicator while moving the first applicator using the primary positioner to form a first fluid pattern at the first dispense region and fluid is simultaneously dispensed from the second applicator while moving the second applicator using the primary positioner and the secondary positioner.

A window sealing system and method for use in sealing insulating glass units (IGUs) is disclosed herein. The system includes an articulating arm having a plurality of members and arms to allow movement about multiple axes defined by the articulating arm, and a sealant dispensing apparatus releasably couplable to the articulating arm. The sealant dispensing apparatus comprises a pivotable dispensing apparatus for dispensing sealant onto an IGU. The system further including a vision system, coupled to the sealant dispensing apparatus, for monitoring physical properties of the sealant during sealant application.

An imprint apparatus forms imprint material using a mold on a substrate. The imprint apparatus includes a movable stage configured to hold the substrate, a supply portion configured to discharge the imprint material, and a control unit configured to cause the supply portion to discharge the imprint material while moving the stage so that the imprint material is supplied onto the substrate. The control unit controls discharge of the imprint material from the supply portion so that a target amount of the imprint material is arranged at a target position on the substrate, based on property information indicating a relation between a discharge amount of imprint material from the supply portion and a position on a target object where the imprint material is to be arranged.

A handheld device, in particular a cartridge press and/or tubular bag press, for dispensing filling material into a joint, including: a handle assembly for manually gripping the handheld device and for moving the handheld device along a joint path, a dispensing device for dispensing the filling material into the joint, and a sensor device which is designed to detect an influencing quantity. The influencing quantity influences the body geometry of a filling material body formed by the filling material dispensed into the joint, in which the handheld device is adapted to adjust a dispensing rate (r) at which the dispensing device dispenses the filling material based on the detected influence quantity.
