Abstract
An expanding machine for expanding a sheet having a workpiece bonded on the sheet. The expanding machine includes an expansion mechanism configured to expand the sheet, a cooling unit that cools the workpiece bonded on the sheet, and a temperature distribution detection unit that, before expanding the sheet by the expansion mechanism, detects a temperature distribution of the workpiece cooled by the cooling unit. A method for expanding a sheet having a workpiece bonded on the sheet is also disclosed.
Claims5
An expanding machine for expanding a sheet having a workpiece bonded thereon, comprising:
- an expansion mechanism configured to expand the sheet;
- a cooling unit that cools the workpiece bonded on the sheet;
- and
- a temperature distribution detection unit that, before expanding the sheet by the expansion mechanism, detects a temperature distribution of the workpiece cooled by the cooling unit.
An expanding method for expanding a sheet having a workpiece bonded thereon, comprising:
- a cooling step of cooling the workpiece bonded on the sheet;
- a temperature distribution detecting step of detecting a temperature distribution of the workpiece cooled in the cooling step;
- a determination step of determining whether the temperature distribution of the workpiece as detected in the temperature distribution detecting step is abnormal or normal;
- and
- an expansion step of expanding the sheet if the temperature distribution is determined to be normal in the determination step.
