Method and apparatus for manufacturing bonded member

A method for manufacturing a bonded member comprising steps of:

• applying an adhesive in advance in an amount which becomes a predetermined thickness when two rectangular members are bonded together on bonded surfaces of the two members;
• providing a projecting portion in advance on a portion of the adhesive which is likely to protrude from the two members when the adhesive is applied;
• bringing the adhesives applied on the two members into contact with each other, sliding one of the two members along the bonded surface, and overlapping the two members;
• curing the projecting portion of the adhesive on the two overlapped members before protrusion of the adhesive;
• and
• pressurizing the two overlapped members while preventing protrusion of the adhesive so as to manufacture the bonded member.

An apparatus for manufacturing a bonded member comprising:

• a first gripping tool for gripping one member of two rectangular members, each on which an adhesive in an amount which becomes a predetermined thickness when bonded together is applied in advance on a bonded surface and pre-coating is formed;
• a second gripping tool for gripping the other member of the two members;
• a driving device for driving the first gripping tool or the second gripping tool so as to bring the applied adhesives on the two members into contact with each other, sliding one of the two members along the bonded surface, and overlapping the two members;
• an adhesive curing device for curing a portion of the adhesive which is likely to protrude from the two overlapped members before protrusion of the adhesive;
• and
• a member pressurizing device for pressurizing the two overlapped members while preventing protrusion of the adhesive.
