Abstract

PURPOSE:To enable an accurate positioning of a transfer scope of a transfer foil on the surface to receive transferring, and to realize an intermittent transfer with a high accuracy of positioning by automatically correcting position deviation of a transfer film. CONSTITUTION:The surface 5 to receive transferring is positioned within a window 21 of a movable table 11. A frame shaped clamp 22 is lifted, and after a transfer film 9 is supplied thereunder, the clamp is lowered. A register mark (a of the transfer film 9 is photographed by a TV camera 25, and an image signal (b) is input into an image identification circuit 26. The circuit 26 decides whether there is a position deviation of the register mark (a) in X direction or Y direction, and if a deviation is found, and if the deviation is in the X direc tion, a deviation correction driving output (c) is applied to an X direction moving motor 17; and if it is in the Y direction, a deviation correction driving output (d) is applied to a Y direction moving motor 18, and the movable table 11 is slightly moved in X and/or Y direction. The corrective action of the table 11 is, moment by moment, fed back continuously to the image identification circuit 26 through the TV camera 25, until the time when the register mark (a) reaches the proper position. If a transfer pad 1 is lowered and the transfer film 9 is pressed to the surface which receives transferring, a transferring with high accuracy of positioning is accomplished.

(1) A long transfer film is intermittently supplied to the required length between the transfer pad and the object to be transferred supported by a jig below, and this supplied portion is used as the transfer pad to transfer the object. In a pad-type thermal transfer machine that heats and presses the transferred surface, the lower part of the transfer pad is provided with a window in the center that is larger than the above-mentioned transferred surface, and an X A movable table that can be moved slightly in the Y direction along the width direction and a reciprocating drive source for reciprocating the table in each of the X and Y directions is provided. A possible frame-shaped clamp and a driving source for raising and lowering the clamp are provided, and a sensor capable of capturing a pattern is installed at a position where the register mark can be captured in the feeding portion of the transfer film between the table and the clamp. Additionally, an image identification circuit having pattern resolution is provided, and the input terminal of the circuit is connected to the above-mentioned sensor, and the output terminal thereof is connected to each reciprocating drive source for the movable table. A transfer film position correction device in a pad-type thermal transfer machine.
