The adhesive tape 30 is unwound from the first conveying roller 110 to rewind the separating table 120 and the separating table 120 to the second conveying roller 112 in order and the first conveying roller 110 and the second conveying roller 110 And is conveyed in pitch by the action of the conveying roller 112.

5, the pick-up head 136 of the subsidiary material sheet feeding unit 130 is moved by the action of the pick-up head transfer unit 138 in the state in which the adhesive tape 30 is placed on the auxiliary table 116, 132 and picks up the subsidiary material sheet 10 to transport the subsidiary material sheet 10 onto the separation table 120. The pick-up head 136 picking up the subsidiary material sheet 10 is lowered on the separation table 120 and then raised so that the subsidiary material sheet 10 is adhered to the adhesive tape 30 on the subsidiary table 116 .

6 (a), the pressing roller 151 of the subsidiary material sheet compression unit 150 is lowered by the pressing roller elevating mechanism 154 to press the subsidiary material sheet 10 The sheet is horizontally conveyed by the squeeze roller horizontal feed mechanism 156 to the first conveying roller 110 at a predetermined interval to press the leading end of the subsidiary sheet 10 against the adhesive tape 30. [ The release sheet sheet 11 of the subsidiary material sheet 10 stably adheres to the adhesive tape 30 at the tip end thereof by the action of the subsidiary material sheet compression unit 150. The adhesive tape 30 is moved from the auxiliary table 116 to the separation table 120 by the action of the first conveying roller 110 and the second conveying roller 112 after the pressing roller 151 is separated from the auxiliary material sheet 10. [ Lt; / RTI > After the subsidiary material sheet 10 is transferred to the separation table 120 on the subsidiary table 116, the pick-up head 136 and the subsidiary material sheet compression unit 150 transfer the new subsidiary material sheet 10 Is carried to the adhesive tape 30 on the sub table 116 and the auxiliary material sheet 10 is brought into close contact with the adhesive tape 30. [

6 (b), when the adhesive tape 30 is transported on the separation table 120, the release paper sheet 11 adhered to the adhesive tape 30 adheres to the separation table 120 together with the adhesive tape 30, The auxiliary material 12 adhered to the release paper sheet 11 is separated from the release paper sheet 11 at this time. When the adhesive tape 30 is conveyed onto the separation table 120 and the auxiliary material 12 is separated from the release sheet 11, the attachment head 160 is conveyed onto the separation table 120.

The attachment head 160 picks up the subsidiary material 12 separated from the release sheet 11 on the separation table 120 by the action of the attachment head transfer unit 162 and moves toward the attachment table 125. The attachment head 160 passes through the subsidiary material camera 176 while moving while picking up the subsidiary material 12 and the subsidiary material camera 176 picks up the subsidiary material 12 picked up and transferred by the attachment head 160. [ The image captured by the subsidiary material camera 176 is provided to the controller 170 and the controller 170 controls the position of the subsidiary material 12 to be transferred to the attachment table 125 using the image transferred from the subsidiary material camera 176 Calculate the angle.

The auxiliary material roll 20 is unwound from the first conveying roller 110 and is wound on the second conveying roller 112 in order through the auxiliary table 116 and the separating table 120 in this order. When the auxiliary material roll 20 is pitch-transferred on the separation table 120 by the action of the first conveyance roller 110 and the second conveyance roller 112, the separation material is transferred from the end of the separation table 120 of the release paper roll 21 The subsidiary material 22 adhered to the release paper roll 21 is separated from the release paper roll 21 at the portion where the direction is bent. The attachment head 160 removes the subsidiary material 22 from the separation table 120 and transfers it to the substrate 40 placed on the attachment table 125. The operation after the attachment head 160 picks up the subsidiary material 22 from the separation table 120 is the same as the method of attaching the subsidiary material 10 when using the subsidiary material sheet 10 described above.

On the other hand, the subsidiary material roll 20 or the adhesive tape 30 (50) is connected to the second transport roller 112 for the operation of attaching the subsidiary material using the subsidiary material sheet 10 or the operation for attaching the subsidiary material using the subsidiary material roll 20 The operator uses the work groove 123 provided in the work support recess 118 provided on the table support 117 for supporting the auxiliary table 116 or the table support 122 supporting the separation table 120 The operation can be performed conveniently. 3, the auxiliary material sheet feeding unit 130 is retracted toward the first conveying roller 110 by using the feeding unit feeding mechanism 158, It is possible to perform the operation of connecting the auxiliary material roll 20 or the adhesive tape 30 or 50 to the second conveying roller 112 or the guide roller 191 or the like after exposing the first and second conveying rollers 118 and 123 to the front side .
