The disclosure relates to a method of manufacturing a fibre reinforced composite, wherein the surface of the fibre reinforced composite modified by using a laser radiation. In particular, the pre-treatment is performed before a bonding process. Time-consuming and dust generating grinding of the surface can be avoided.

A tube joining device includes a delivery with a first pusher member providing forward movement and backward movement along a delivery direction and delivering a wafer to a first position between a take-out position and a stand-by position, and with a second pusher member providing forward movement and backward movement along the delivery direction in combination with the first pusher member, and the wafer from the first position to the stand-by position.

A machine comprising: a flexible band (1) unwinding unit (11), a flexible band (1) folding unit (14), a drive unit (31) for moving the flexible band (1) in a forward movement direction (DA), a welding unit (16) and a laser beam cutting unit (53) for separating each individual flexible package from the flexible band (1) and for providing a fill opening in each flexible package by at least one fill opening cut, the laser beam cutting unit (53) having associated therewith a separator device, movable in a vertical direction and including an insertable separator element (41), interposed between the opposite faces of the folded flexible band (1), in an area adjacent to the fill opening (3), for separating the opposite faces of the flexible band (1) during cutting operations to prevent the fusion thereof.

Provided is a tube joining apparatus that allows a user to easily and properly set tubes to be joined, and can prevent occurrence of joining failures due to tube setting errors. A tube joining apparatus 1 includes a housing 10, a lid 22 relatively movable toward and away from the housing, a tube holding part 23 that holds a first tube T1 and a second tube T2 individually in a state of being placed side by side in an oblique direction D1 with respect to a height direction Z of the housing, and a tube pressing part 25 that presses the first tube and the second tube against each other as the lid relatively moves toward the housing.

A tube joining device which is capable of preventing occurrence of a joining failure. The tube joining device includes: a first tube holding portion for holding a first tube; a second tube holding portion for holding a second tube; a tube superimposing portion that aligns the first tube and the second tube; and a switching mechanism switching from a state of holding the second tube to a state of releasing the second tube.

Provided is a tube joining device that allows a user to easily and appropriately perform setting of tubes which become a joining target, and is capable of preventing occurrence of a joining failure caused by a setting error of the tubes in advance. A tube joining device 1 includes: a first tube holding portion 41 that is capable of holding a first tube T1; a second tube holding portion 42 that is disposed in adjacent to the first tube holding portion, and is capable of holding a second tube T2 at a position that is parallel to the first tube; and a housing 2 that is provided with a cover member 20 that is closed to cover fusion-joining sites C of the first tube and the second tube. The cover member is slidable along a direction in which the first tube and the second tube are disposed in parallel.

A joint structure comprising a light-absorbable member having at least one opening portion and a light-permeable member superposed on the light-absorbable member so as to cover the opening portion, wherein an annular weld part is formed so as to enclose the opening portion and join the light-absorbable member and the light-permeable member, and an area ratio of a portion at the side of the light-absorbable member to a portion at the side of the light-permeable member side is in a range of 12-35 viewing a section perpendicular to the extending direction of the annular weld part.

[Object] Provided is a tube joining device that allows a user to easily and appropriately perform setting of tubes which become a joining target, and is capable of preventing occurrence of a joining failure caused by a setting error of the tubes in advance.

[Solving Means] A tube joining device 1 includes: a first tube holding portion 41 that is capable of holding a first tube T1; a second tube holding portion 42 that is disposed in adjacent to the first tube holding portion, and is capable of holding a second tube T2 at a position that is parallel to the first tube; and a housing 2 that is provided with a cover member 20 that is closed to cover fusing-joining sites C of the first tube and the second tube. The cover member is slidable along a direction in which the first tube and the second tube are disposed in parallel.

Provided is a tube joining apparatus that allows a user to easily and properly set tubes to be joined, and can prevent occurrence of joining failures due to tube setting errors.

A tube joining apparatus 1 includes a housing, a lid relatively movable toward and away from the housing, a tube holding part that holds a first tube and a second tube individually in a state of being placed side by side in an oblique direction with respect to a height direction of the housing, and a tube pressing part that presses the first tube and the second tube against each other as the lid relatively moves toward the housing.

The present invention relates to a machine comprising: an unwinding unit (11) for unwinding a flexible band (1), a folding unit (14) of a flexible band (1), a drive unit (31) configured for moving the flexible band (1) in a forward movement direction (DA), a welding unit (16) and a cutting unit (17) for cutting the flexible band, wherein the cutting unit (17) is a laser beam cutting unit (53) separating each individual flexible package from the flexible band (1) and providing a fill opening in each flexible package by means of at least one fill opening cut. The laser beam cutting unit (53) has associated therewith a separator device, movable in a vertical direction and including an insertable separator element (41), interposed between the opposite faces of the folded flexible band (1), in an area adjacent to the fill opening (3), for separating the opposite faces of the flexible band (1) during cutting operations to prevent the fusion thereof.
