A cylindrical support shaft 221 that supports the shaft core member 27 by being inserted, and an inner guide plate 222 that restricts the movement of the shaft core member 27 inserted into the support shaft 221 in the left direction in FIG. It has. The support shaft 221 passes through a through hole 21A formed in the frame 21 on the base end 221E side, and is rotatably supported by a rotary bearing BC provided on the other surface (the left surface in FIG. 3). Yes.

  The support shaft 221 has a front end surface 221C perpendicular to the axis CE of the support shaft 221 at the right end side in FIG. 3 at the front end portion 221T, and a communication unit in which a conductor is wound around the front end surface 221C in a loop shape. A loop antenna 26 is provided. Further, the distal end portion 221T is provided with a thin shaft portion 24 as a connecting means, and a breaking means 25 formed to project from the distal end portion 221T in the axis CE direction.

  The thin shaft portion 24 has a columnar shape that is thinner than the support shaft 221, and the axis thereof is provided so as to coincide with the axis CE of the support shaft 221, so that the guide means 28 is detachably supported. The guide means 28 includes a boss 281 provided with an insertion hole 282 through which the thin shaft portion 24 can be inserted, a clamper 283 as a fixing means for restricting the movement of the boss 281 by screwing to the boss 281, and the boss 281. An outer guide plate 284 attached is provided and fixed to the thin shaft portion 24, so that the distance between the loop antenna 26 and the data carrier 29 can be maintained at a predetermined distance.

  The breaking means 25 is provided in a shape along the outer edge of the distal end surface 221C, and is formed in a shape capable of breaking the data carrier 29 provided on one end side of the shaft core member 27. In the present embodiment, the breaking means 25 is provided in a shape in which a plurality of chevron shapes that are sharply formed in a direction away from the distal end surface 221C are continuous.

  The loop antenna 26 is connected to a reader / writer 7 that can read data stored in the data carrier 29 and write data to the data carrier 29 based on control by the control means 6. The data communicated between the data carrier 29 and the loop antenna 26 includes the type, material, product name, code, thickness, length, width, diameter, and other standard dimensions of the adhesive sheet AS, Lot number, length using the original fabric RS, remaining length of the original fabric RS, quality assurance period of the adhesive sheet AS, remaining number of adhesive sheets AS before and after the start of feeding, the number of fed adhesive sheets AS, adhesion Consultation on the recommended feeding speed at which the sheet AS can be optimally delivered, the application conditions for the adhesive sheet AS such as the recommended application tension and the recommended pressing force at which the adhesive sheet AS can be optimally applied, the adhesive sheet AS and the raw material RS The contact information of the window can be exemplified. And the data read from the data carrier 29 can be displayed on the monitor which is not shown in figure provided in the sticking apparatus 1, and the sticking conditions of the said sticking apparatus 1 can be set based on the read data.

  In the pasting device 1 described above, when the adhesive sheet AS is pasted on the wafer WF, first, the original fabric RS wound around the shaft core member 27 is supported by the support shaft 221. At this time, since the support shaft 221 includes the breaking means 25, the data carrier 29 </ b> A provided on one end side of the shaft core member 27 in the data carrier 29 can be broken. When the shaft core member 27 is inserted into the support shaft 221, the axis CF of the shaft core member 27 is parallel to the axis CE of the support shaft 221, and is provided in a plane orthogonal to the axes CF and CE. The data carrier 29B and the loop antenna 26 face each other. Thereby, it is possible to maintain the positional relationship in which the data carrier 29B and the loop antenna 26 face each other regardless of the position around the axis CE of the support shaft 221.

  And the guide means 28 is attached via the thin shaft part 24, and the shaft core member 27 is positioned. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the data carrier 29B from being displaced in the axis CE direction with respect to the loop antenna 26 and to prevent such an interval that the data carrier 29B cannot communicate, and to reliably maintain the communication distance.

  The data carrier 29A broken by the breaking means 25 enters so as to be bent in the gap between the inner wall of the shaft core member 27 and the support shaft 221, and does not face the loop antenna 26. There is no communication (interference) with the two data carriers 29A and 29B.

  Here, for example, when the sticking device 1 is formed on the opposite side, the feeding direction of the original fabric RS is opposite as shown by a two-dot chain line in FIG. In such a case, the shaft core member 27 may be supported so that the data carrier 29A is on the tip end portion 221T side (right side in FIG. 3) of the support shaft 221.

  Thereafter, the moving means 5 drives the single-axis robot 53 to carry the table 51 leftward, and when the detecting means such as an optical sensor (not shown) detects that the wafer WF has reached a predetermined position, the feeding means. 3 drives the rotation motors 35 and 39 to feed out the adhesive sheet AS, and the pressing means 4 presses and adheres the adhesive sheet AS to the transferred wafer WF.

Here, the control means 6 controls the reader / writer 7 before starting the pasting, generates a transmission means such as magnetic flux, static electricity, microwaves, etc. by passing a current through the loop antenna 26, and sets the conductive coil of the data carrier 29. The electromotive force is generated through the data, the data written in the data carrier 29B is read, and the entire pasting apparatus 1 is controlled based on the read data. This control is performed, for example, based on the recommended feeding speed of the adhesive sheet AS in the data written on the data carrier 29A, and the table 51 is moved by the rotation speed of the rotation motors 35 and 39 or the single-axis robot 53. It is possible to set the pressing force by determining the moving speed, or by determining the lifting / lowering amount of a linear motion motor (not shown) that lifts and lowers the pressing means 4 based on the recommended pressing force, the torque applied to the output shaft, etc. it can.
At this time, since the loop antenna 26 and the conductive coil of the data carrier 29B are opposed to each other, the conductive coil can be always present at the passing position of the transmission means generated by the loop antenna 26. Can efficiently generate an electromotive force in the conductive coil via the loop antenna 26, and can reliably read the data written in the IC chip of the data carrier 29B.

Further, the control means 6 controls the reader / writer 7 to generate the transmission means during rotation of the shaft core member 27 after starting the pasting, and generates the electromotive force in the same manner as described above to write the data to the data carrier 29B. You can also. Thus, even when the shaft core member 27 is rotating, the conductive coil of the data carrier 29B is always present at the passing position of the transmission means of the loop antenna 26, and the reader / writer 7 is connected to the loop antenna 26. Thus, the electromotive force can be efficiently generated in the conductive coil via the, and the data can be reliably written to the chip of the data carrier 29B. Examples of data to be written at this time include the number of sheets using the adhesive sheet AS, the length using the original fabric RS, and the like.
When the adhesive sheet AS is pasted on the predetermined number of wafers WF, the reader / writer 7 can be controlled to write data to the data carrier 29B. As data to be written at this time, for example, the remaining number of adhesive sheets AS after the start of feeding obtained by subtracting the number of sheets using the adhesive sheet AS from the remaining number of adhesive sheets AS before the start of feeding, or the remaining length of the original fabric RS Examples of this can be given. The number of used adhesive sheets AS can be calculated based on the number of times the rotation motor 35 is activated, the number of times detected by a detection means (not shown) that detects that the wafer WF has reached a predetermined position, and the like. The length using the anti-RS can be calculated based on the number of rotations, pulses, and the like of the rotation motor 35. In this way, for example, when changing to another original fabric RS before the entire adhesive sheet AS in one original fabric RS is used, data is written to the data carrier 29B of the first original fabric RS. Thus, when the original material RS is used again, it can be immediately handled by reading the data in the same manner as described above. Further, the stock of the original fabric RS can be managed by transmitting the remaining number of the adhesive sheets AS stored in the data carrier 29B to an external computer (not shown).

  According to the present embodiment as described above, since the data carrier 29 is provided on the both end surfaces 271 of the shaft core member 27, as long as the shaft core member 27 is inserted into the support shaft 221, Regardless of the mounting direction, the data carrier 29B and the loop antenna 26 are positioned so as to be communicable, and data communication with the data carrier 29 can be performed reliably. Since the breaking means 25 is provided, the unused data carrier 29A provided on one end side among the data carriers 29 provided on the both end faces 271 of the shaft core member 27 is broken and the loop antenna 26 is removed. It is possible to prevent the loop antenna 26 from communicating (interference) with the two data carriers 29A and 29B.
