Abstract
Method, and apparatus, for applying a heat-activated double-sided adhesive tape (10) to a support (20) by: activate by heating the double-sided adhesive tape (10) with laser light from at least two different laser light emitters (30), salid emitters each compörising an optical collimator (31) adapted to project a cylindrical light beam (33), and bringing into mutual contact said activated double-sided adhesive tape (10) with said support (20) in a contact zone so they join.
Claims16
A method for applying a heat-activated double-sided adhesive tape comprising the steps of:
- preparing a heat-activated double-sided adhesive tape and a support on which said heat-activated double-sided adhesive tape is adhered;
- hitting at least one portion of said double-sided adhesive tape with laser light from at least two different laser light emitters, said emitters each comprising an optical collimator adapted to project a cylindrical light beam, to obtain at least one activated zone of double-sided adhesive tape, wherein said optical collimators are arranged so that said cylindrical light beams, projected on said at least one portion of heat-activated double-sided adhesive tape, are partially overlapping at the portion of double-sided adhesive tape to be activated;
- and
- bringing into mutual contact said at least one zone of activated double-sided adhesive tape with said support in a contact zone.
