Abstract
A printed circuit board laminator adapted for laminating a film on the surfaces of the baseboards of printed circuit boards. The laminator comprises a laminating mechanism which can continuously laminate a long film on the continuously fed baseboards. The laminator comprises a constant-gap baseboard feed mechanism, which can arrange the baseboards with a constant gap therebetween, and continuously feed them to the laminating mechanism. The laminator further comprises an access hole-making unit which can make access holes in the film to be aligned with indexing holes in the baseboards, prior to the lamination. The laminator also comprises a cutting mechanism which can cut the film laminated to the boards for separating the latter from each other.
Claims12
A printed circuit board laminating apparatus for laminating a film on a surface of each of a plurality of baseboards corresponding to a printed circuit board comprising:
- (a) laminating means for continuously feeding a long film, and continuously laminating the film on a surface of each baseboard;
- and
- (b) baseboard feed means for arranging the plurality of baseboards, with a contstant gap therebetween, and feeding each baseboard to said laminating means at a first velocity, including
- (i) a regular-feed mechanism for continuously feeding a first baseboard of the plurality of baseboards to said laminating means at the first velocity,
- (ii) a quick-feed mechanism for feeding a second baseboard of the plurality of baseboards to a waiting position and then to said regular-feed mechanism at a second velocity higher than the first velocity,
- (iii) a spacing mechanism for spacing said first and second baseboards, with the constant gap therebetween, and
- (iv) a lifting mechanism for moving said quick feed mechanism and down between a lower position, in which the quick-feed mechanism feeds the first and second baseboards, to the waiting position, and an upper position, in which the quick-feed mechanism feeds the first and second baseboards, to said regular-feed mechansim.
A printed circuit board laminating apparatus for laminating a film on a surface of each of a plurality of baseboards corresponding to a printed circuit board, each baseboard being provided with indexing holes, said apparatus comprising:
- laminating means for continuously feeding a long film to a laminating position, and continuously laminating said film on a surface of each base board;
- and
- access hole-making means for making access holes in said film, in the feed path of the film to the laminating position, so as to be aligned with the indexing holes in each baseboard.
A printed circuit board laminating apparatus for laminating a film of material on a surface of each of a plurality of baseboards corresponding to a printed circuit board, each of said baseboards being provided with indexing holes, said apparatus comprising:
- laminating means for continuously feeding a long film to a laminating position, and continuously laminating the film on a surface of each baseboard;
- baseboard feed means for arranging the plurality of baseboards, with a constant gap therebetween, and feeding each baseboard to said laminating means at a first velocity;
- access hole-making means for making access holes in the film, in the feed path of the film to the laminating position, so as to be aligned with the indexing holes in the baseboards;
- and
- cutting means for cutting the film at the portion corresponding to the gap between the baseboards which are continuously fed by the laminating means.
