In the above sheet sticking apparatus 1, the procedure for sticking the first adhesive sheet AS1 and the second adhesive sheet AS2 to the adherend AH will be described.
First, the first original fabric RS1 and the second original fabric RS2 are set as shown in FIG. 1, and the holding member 71 and the second holding means 9 are put on standby at the sheet supply height position shown by the solid line in FIG. When the adherend AH is transported by the transport means 8, the detection means 6 detects the height of the upper surface (the adherend surface AP) of the adherend AH. Thereafter, when the detection unit such as an optical sensor or an imaging unit (not shown) detects that the adherend AH has been transferred directly below the holding member 71, the transfer unit 8 stops the transfer operation of the adherend AH. Next, as shown to FIG. 2 (A), the 1st supply means 2 and the 2nd supply means 5 drive the rotation motor 24, respectively, and let out 1st original fabric RS1 and 2nd original fabric RS2. As a result, the first adhesive sheet AS1 is peeled from the release sheet RL1 by the release plate 23 of the first supply means 2, and the first adhesive sheet AS1 is supplied toward the holding member 71, and the second supply means 5 The second adhesive sheet AS2 is peeled from the release sheet RL2 by the release plate 23, and the second adhesive sheet AS2 is supplied toward the second holding means 9. Next, in synchronization with the supply of the adhesive sheets AS1 and AS2, the first holding means 7 drives a suction means (not shown), holds the first adhesive sheet AS1 by the holding member 71, and the second holding means 9 The rotation motor 45 and suction means (not shown) are driven to hold the second adhesive sheet AS2 by suction on the lower surface of the suction belt 43.

  Next, the pressing means 3 drives the linear motion motor 33, and as shown in FIG. 2B, the holding member 71 is lowered to the height position detected by the detecting means 6, and the adherend AH is held by the holding member 71. The first adhesive sheet AS1 is pressed and pasted on the adherend surface AP, and the first holding means 7 stops the suction means (not shown). On the other hand, the moving means 10 drives the linear motor 102 in synchronization with the sticking operation of the pressing means 3, and the second holding means 9 is delivered at a predetermined distance from the height position of the adherend surface AP detected by the detecting means 6. Lower to position and wait. The delivery position is, for example, 10 mm or 20 mm above the adherend surface AP and can be selected as appropriate.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 2 (C), the pressing means 3 drives the linear motor 33, and the height position at which the second adhesive sheet AS2 can be received from the second holding means 9 waiting at the delivery position. The holding member 71 is raised. And the delivery means 4 drives the rotation motor 45, and moves 2nd adhesive sheet AS2 toward the holding member 71. FIG. Then, the first holding means 7 drives a suction means (not shown), and the holding member 71 sucks and holds the second adhesive sheet AS2. Accordingly, the second adhesive sheet AS2 is delivered to the holding member 71. Next, as shown in FIG. 2 (D), the pressing means 3 drives the linear motion motor 33 to lower the holding member 71 again to the height position detected by the detecting means 6, so that it first contacts the adherend surface AP. The second adhesive sheet AS2 is pressed and pasted on the pasted first adhesive sheet AS1.

  Next, after each holding means 7 and 9 stops the suction means, the pressing means 3 drives the linear motion motor 33, and the moving means 10 drives the linear motion motor 102. The holding means 9 is raised to the sheet supply height position. Thereafter, the transport unit 8 is driven to transport the adherend AH to which the first and second adhesive sheets AS1 and AS2 are attached to the next process. Thereafter, the same operation as described above is repeated.

According to the present embodiment as described above, since the second holding means 9 moves in the direction of the adherend surface AP and delivers the second adhesive sheet AS2 to the holding member 71, the holding member 71 is moved to the sheet supply height position. The second adhesive sheet AS2 can be attached to the adherend AH without returning, and the processing capacity per unit time can be improved.
In addition, since the detection means 6 is provided, the movement amount of the holding member 71 and the second holding means 9 can be determined according to the height position of the adherend surface AP detected by the detection means 6. Even when the adherends AH having different sticking height positions are continuously conveyed, the processing capacity per unit time can be improved.

  As described above, the best configuration, method and the like for carrying out the present invention have been disclosed in the above description, but the present invention is not limited to this.
