Abstract
A transfer apparatus transfers a transfer substance or a surface shape of a transfer web in a transfer section from the transfer web that is carried along a web route to a transfer target object that is carried along a carrying surface. The transfer apparatus includes a gap adjustment mechanism that adjusts the size of a gap between the carrying surface and the web route in the transfer section, and a controller that controls the gap adjustment mechanism to adjust the size of the gap to be a size corresponding to the thickness of the transfer target object.
Claims20
A transfer apparatus that transfers, in a transfer section, a transfer substance or a surface shape of a transfer web from the transfer web, the transfer web being carried along a web route, to a transfer target object that is carried along a carrying surface, the transfer apparatus comprising:
- a gap adjustment mechanism that adjusts a size of a gap between the carrying surface and the web route in the transfer section;
- and
- a controller that controls the gap adjustment mechanism to adjust the size of the gap to be a size corresponding to a thickness of the transfer target object.
A transfer apparatus comprising:
- a web carrying mechanism that carries a transfer web along a web route;
- a transfer-target-object carrying mechanism that carries a transfer target object;
- an ultraviolet light source unit that emits ultraviolet light from an emission position on a side opposite to a carrying surface of the transfer-target-object carrying mechanism with respect to the web route in a transfer section in which a transfer substance of the transfer web or a surface shape of the transfer web is transferred to the transfer target object;
- and
- a gap adjustment mechanism that raises and lowers the web route in the transfer section and thereby adjusts a gap between the web route and the carrying surface in the transfer section,
- wherein the ultraviolet light source unit is raised and lowered together with the web route when a size of the gap is more than a threshold value.
A transferring method comprising;
- Controlling to adjust a size of a gap between a carrying surface, that a transfer target object is carried along, and a web route, that a transfer web is carried along, to be a size corresponding to a thickness of the transfer target object, in a transfer section,
- transferring a transfer substance or a surface shape of the transfer web from the transfer web to the transfer target object.
