Fig.

Referring to Fig. 1, an assembly system 2 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a conveying rail 10 and an automatic adhesive tape attaching device 1 disposed on one side of the conveying rail 10. The automatic adhesive tape attaching apparatus 1 is formed so as to automatically attach an adhesive tape to an object (object to be adhered) to be conveyed along the conveying rail 10. In particular, the automatic adhesive tape attaching device 1 attaches the adhesive tape firmly and accurately to the object to be bonded, and attaches the adhesive tape in an easily detachable form in consideration of a subsequent operation. Therefore, the entire assembling process can be smoothly performed using the assembling system 2 including the automatic adhesive tape attaching apparatus 1, and the product can be efficiently produced.

The automatic adhesive tape attaching apparatus 1 includes a tape supply module (see 100 in Fig. 4) for supplying an adhesive tape and a mounting surface (also shown in Fig. 4) attached with a negative pressure to the non-adhesive surface of the adhesive tape supplied from the tape supply module 100 (See C1 of FIG. 8) that presses the adhesive tape against the attachment surface 211 to make the adhesive surfaces of the adhesive tape come into contact with each other to form a grip portion (see C1 in FIG. 8) (See 200 in FIG. 4). In other words, the automatic adhesive tape attaching apparatus 1 automatically forms a gripping portion capable of being easily gripped by an operator or the like at the end of the adhesive tape by the gripping portion forming module 200. Therefore, the operator or the like can grip the grip portion of the adhesive tape and remove the adhesive tape that has been adhered to the object to be adhered, if necessary, to facilitate subsequent work. This makes it possible to smoothly carry out the entire assembling process and efficiently produce products.

Hereinafter, with reference to the drawings, the detailed structure and operation of the assembly system 2 and the automatic adhesive tape bonding apparatus 1 of the present invention will be described in more detail. Other features of the present invention, which are not mentioned in the following description, will be clearly understood.

The assembly system 2 comprises a conveyor rail 10 which is elongated to one side as shown in Fig. A plurality of conveying rollers 10a are continuously arranged inside the conveying rail 10 so that the object can move through contact between the conveying roller 10a and the object. The conveying rollers 10a are spaced apart from each other and the automatic adhesive tape adhesive apparatus 1 easily accesses the object to be bonded (that is, the object to be conveyed along the conveying rail) through the spaced space between the conveying rollers 10a . The conveying rollers 10a can be driven by connecting them with a chain, a belt, or the like. A contact portion may be formed on the outer circumferential portion of the conveying roller 10a with a material (rubber or the like) that generates friction, so that the object to be bonded can receive the rotational force of the conveying roller 10a more effectively.

A loader 20 is disposed at the front end of the conveying rail 10 and an unloader 30 is disposed at the rear end of the conveying rail 10. The loader 20 may be formed to include a linear guide device capable of horizontal and vertical movement. The loader 20 repeatedly moves and loads an object such as a panel with the conveying rail 10. The unloader 30 also unloads the object (for example, the combination of the panel and the glass) from the conveying rail 10 while moving repeatedly. One or more than one loader 20 may be disposed. The unloader 30 can be formed to include a robot arm that can be bent in various directions as shown in FIG. The loader 20 and the unloader 30 may be provided with a vacuum adsorber for applying a suction force to an object to be gripped. In addition, the loader 20 and the unloader 30 can be configured in various forms capable of gripping and moving objects.

A fan filter unit (40) is disposed above the conveying rail (10). It is possible to form a housing including therein a conveying section in which the conveying rail 10 is installed, a loading section in which the loader 20 is disposed, and an unloading section in which the unloader 30 is disposed. The unit 40 can be disposed. The fan filter unit 40 circulates the air and simultaneously filters the air to keep the inside of the housing clean. The fan filter unit 40 can be disposed not only above the conveying rail 10 but also above the loader 20 or the unloader 30. The housing can be formed, for example, by providing a transparent window or the like on the frame frame. A door may be formed on one side of the housing so as to be easily accessible to the operator by the conveying rail 10 or the like. In addition, various facilities such as an optical sensor (optical curtain type) for detecting the movement of the object, an emergency switch capable of stopping the emergency driving, and a static eliminator can be additionally provided.

The conveying rail 10 can be divided into several parts that can perform different operations. As shown in FIG. 1, an inlet portion 11 adjacent to the loader 20, an aligning portion 12 connected to the inlet portion 11, a taping portion 13 connected to the aligning portion 12, a taping portion 13, A discharge unit 14 connected to the unloader 30, an auxiliary discharge unit 15 disposed at the upper end of the taping unit 13, and the like. Objects such as panels loaded from the loader 20 are firstly aligned in the alignment unit 12 via the entrance unit 11 and combined with other objects such as glass to enter the taping unit 13. [ An adhesive tape automatic attaching device (1) is provided in the taping portion (13), and an adhesive tape is attached to an object to which the panel and the glass are joined. The object (panel and glass) to which the adhesive tape is attached may be ejected through the ejection portion 14 and unloaded, or may be ejected to the auxiliary ejection portion 15 when there is a problem. Hereinafter, the alignment unit 12 and the taping unit 13 will be described in more detail.

The alignment portion 12 is formed as shown in Fig. The conveying rollers 10a are continuously arranged between the conveying rails 10 and the aligning bar 12a is disposed between the conveying rollers 10a which are continuously arranged. The alignment bar 12a may include a rotating portion or the like that comes into rolling contact with the end portion as shown in the figure. The alignment bar 12a is brought into close contact with the end of the panel A to prevent the panel A from moving and aligns the panel A so as to be in a correct position. The alignment bar 12a is disposed along the conveying rail 10 at a distance corresponding to the width of the panel A or interposed at a direction in which the panel A advances I can stop it. It is possible to form the alignment part 12 including the alignment bar 12a to very easily align an object such as the panel A. [

When the panel A is aligned inside the alignment part 12 by the alignment bar 12a, the glass B can be overlapped and overlapped at the upper part. The glass (B) and the panel (A) are kept in close contact with each other, but they are not joined by a coupling member such as a screw or an adhesive. Therefore, this problem may occur during assembly, so the glass (B) and the panel (A) are fixed by taping. That is, the glass (B) and the panel (A) can be more conveniently handled while being coupled to each other through the taping operation. The attached tape can then be removed as needed to separate the two.

The taping portion 13 is located below the auxiliary discharge portion 15. [ The auxiliary discharge portion 15 is disposed above the taping portion 13 so as to allow quick access to a problem object (such as when the panel and the glass are abnormally joined or taping is wrong). As shown, the taping portion 13 includes a contactor 13a which is resiliently coupled to the upper end of the feed rail 10. The contactor 13a may be coupled to a support or the like connected to the transfer rail 10 and may be formed in a planar shape in which contact with the glass B is easy. When the panel A and the glass B are superimposed on each other and enter the taping portion 13, the lower conveying roller 10a and the upper contactor 13a support each other in the opposite direction to closely contact the two. In this state, the automatic adhesive tape attaching device 1 installed on the lower side automatically performs taping work. The adhesive tape may adhere to both the surface of the panel A and the surface of the glass B exposed through the cutout A1 of the panel A to mutually fix the two. Hereinafter, the structure and operation of the automatic adhesive tape attaching apparatus 1 will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

4 and 5, the automatic adhesive tape attaching apparatus 1 according to the first embodiment of the present invention includes a tape supply module 100, a grip forming module 200, and a pressing module 300 do. The tape supply module 100 supplies the adhesive tape and the grip portion forming module 200 includes an attachment surface 211 adhered to the non-adhesive surface of the supplied adhesive tape at a negative pressure, So that the adhesive surfaces are brought into contact with the ends of the adhesive tape to form a folded grip portion. The pressing module 300 presses the non-adhesive surface of the adhesive tape drawn by the tensile force applied to the grip portion to adhere the opposite adhesive surface to the adhesive object. With this configuration, the grip portion is formed on the adhesive tape, and the adhesive tape is pulled out by gripping the adhesive tape, and the drawn adhesive tape is pressed to automatically attach an adhesive tape having grip portions to the objects to be bonded Can be easily carried out.

Particularly, the automatic adhesive tape attaching apparatus 1 according to the first embodiment of the present invention is configured such that the grip portion forming module 200 grasps and moves the grip portion to pull out the adhesive tape from the tape supply module 100 . That is, it is possible to realize a structure in which the grip portion forming module 200 is configured to be movable without forming a separate pull-out structure, and the grip portion is formed, gripped, and tensioned on the adhesive tape. This makes it possible to simplify the structure of the device and to perform taping work more quickly.

Hereinafter, a specific embodiment of the automatic adhesive tape bonding apparatus 1 according to the first embodiment of the present invention having such features will be described.

The tape supply module 100 is formed in a roller shape in which the adhesive tape C is wound around the outer peripheral portion and fixed. The roller-shaped tape supply module 100 can wind and unwind the adhesive tape C that is freely rotating and wound in the form of a roll. One or more guide rollers 110 may be installed on one side of the tape supply module 100 to adjust the tension or change the feeding direction by contacting the adhesive tape. Although the tape supply module 100 is illustrated as rotating in the form of a roller according to the first embodiment of the present invention, the tape supply module 100 need not be limited as long as it can easily supply the adhesive tape. It is possible to change the shape of the tape supply module 100 with another structure such as a structure in which the adhesive tape can be taken in and taken out as needed.

The tape supply module 100 is rotatably coupled to the frame 101. In the frame 101, a first guide rail 102 and a second guide rail 103 are formed. The frame 101 serves as a supporting structure for supporting the components constituting the automatic adhesive tape attaching apparatus 1. [ The frame 101 is formed of a plate-shaped member, and can utilize both sides of the frame 101 to constitute a compact device. However, the configuration of such a frame 101 is exemplary, and the shape of the frame 101 can be freely changed to an appropriate shape as necessary. It is also possible to construct the automatic adhesive tape attaching device 1 by utilizing the above-described transfer rail or the like without the frame 101 as a supporting structure.

4, the grip portion forming module 200 includes a pair of fingers 210 which are formed on at least one side of the attachment surface 211 and which are turned and folded or unfolded to each other, And at least one negative pressure nozzle 211a. The fingers 210 are formed so as to be rotatable about the rotation axis by the rotation motor 212 or the like. The fingers 210 can provide negative pressure on the adhesive tape with a negative pressure nozzle 211a that includes a planar attachment surface 211 and is open to the attachment surface 211. [ As shown in FIG. 5, when the fingers 210 rotate and are folded together, the attachment faces 211 are brought into close contact with each other and the pressure is exchanged between the attachment faces 211. Whereby the grip portion can be formed by applying pressure to the adhesive tape.

The finger 210 is fixed on the movable plate 230. The movable plate 230 is slidably coupled to the traveling unit 240 traveling along the first guide rail 102. Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 5, a structure may be realized in which the grip portion forming module 200 including the finger 210 moves in parallel along the movable plate 230 to intersect with the adhesive tape or to release the intersection. The position of the grip part forming module 200 can be easily changed so as not to interfere with the taping operation after the grip part is formed. Since the movable plate 230 is coupled to the moving unit 240 and moves together with the moving unit 230, the grip unit forming module 200 including the finger 210 also moves on the first guide rail 102 along the moving unit 240 . Therefore, the grip portion forming module 200 moves and the adhesive tape can be easily taken out from the tape supply module 100.

A cutter 220 for cutting the adhesive tape is formed on one side of the finger 210. The cutter 220 cuts one side of the adhesive tape supplied from the tape supply module 100 and separates the tape from the tape supply module 100. The cutter 220 may be coupled to the movable plate 230 together with the finger 210. The cutter 220 may be slid to intersect with or release the adhesive tape. Thus, the cutter 220 can be moved to cross the adhesive tape and easily cut one side of the crossed adhesive tape. The movable plate 230 may be inclined as shown in the drawing, so that the mounting surface 211 of the finger 210 may be inclined in a direction parallel to the movable plate 230. It is possible to easily support the interposed adhesive tape between the object to be bonded and the tape supply module 100 by using the inclined attaching surface 211. [

The attachment surface 211 may be formed on both sides of the finger 210, or may be formed only on either side. At least one of the fingers 210 may have an attachment surface 211 to facilitate attachment of the adhesive tape. The attachment surface 211 is preferably formed in a planar shape as shown in Fig. 4, and the entire plane may be in contact with the non-adhesive surface of the adhesive tape in parallel. The negative pressure can be applied to the non-adhering surface of the adhesive tape through the negative pressure nozzle 211a opened by the adhering surface 211 and the adhesive tape can be easily fixed using the suction pressure.

The fingers 210 are formed such that a pair of them pivots about the rotation axis and folds or unfolds with each other. The fingers 210 may be formed so that both of them are pivoted, or only one of them is pivoted. The both sides of the finger 210 can be rotated or at least one of them can be rotated to press the adhesive tape with the attachment surface 211. [ It is possible to pressurize the adhesive tape by exchanging the pressure between the different attachment surfaces 211 when the attachment surface 211 is formed on both sides of the finger 210. The attachment surface 211 is formed only on one side of the finger 210 The adhesive surface can be pressed by exchanging pressure with the other side of the finger 210 in a state where the adhesive surface 211 is formed or rotated. As described above, the finger 210 is rotated to press the adhesive tape with the attaching surface 211, and the gripping portions (refer to C1 in Fig. 8) folded and brought into contact with the adhesive surfaces of the adhesive tape can be formed at the ends of the adhesive tape.

The pressing module 300 presses the non-adhesive surface of the drawn adhesive tape to adhere the opposite adhesive surface to the object to be bonded. For example, the grip portion forming module 200 moves along the first guide rail 102 to pull out the adhesive tape, and the pressing module 300 presses the non-adhesive surface of the adhesive tape in the direction crossing the adhesive tape, An adhesive tape can be attached to an object to be adhered on one side of the tape automatic attaching apparatus 1. [ The pressing module 300 may be formed to move in a first direction at least a part of which intersects the drawing direction of the adhesive tape and in a second direction parallel to the object to be bonded and press the adhesive tape.

The pressurizing module 300 is coupled to the traveling unit 330 traveling along the second guide rail 103. The pressing module 300 includes a body 310 coupled to the traveling unit 330 and a pressing member 320 connected to the body 310. The pressing module 300 is resiliently coupled to the end portion contacting with the adhesive tape and one or more than one may be formed. The pressing member 320 may be formed of a roller or the like as shown in the drawing and may be in rolling contact with the pressing member 320. [ The body 310 and the pressing member 320 are connected to each other by a connecting portion 321 and the connecting portion 321 can be extended in a direction perpendicular to the second guide rail 103 as shown in FIG. An expandable piston or the like can be inserted into the connection part 321 and a spring or the like can be coupled to the outer side to elastically support the pressing member 320. [

5, the pressing module 300 is coupled to the moving part 330 and is moved in parallel with the second guide rail 103. As shown in FIG. Further, the pressing member 320 can be moved in the direction perpendicular thereto through the elongation and contraction of the connecting portion 321. Since the second guide rail 103 is disposed in parallel with the objects to be bonded (the panels and glass superimposed on each other described above), the pressing module 300 can move in a direction parallel to the object to be bonded, Some of them may move in crossing with the drawn adhesive tape. Thus, the adhesive tape can be easily pressed by moving at least a part in a direction intersecting the drawing direction of the adhesive tape (the first direction described above) and a direction parallel to the object to be bonded (the second direction described above).

6 to 8, an automatic adhesive tape bonding apparatus 1 according to the first embodiment of the present invention including a tape supply module 100, a grip part forming module 200, and a pressing module 300, Will be described in more detail.

6 to 8 are views showing an operation process of the automatic adhesive tape adhering apparatus according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 6, the adhesive tape C is supplied from the tape supply module 100 and the distal end thereof is supported by the grip portion forming module 200. The adhesive tape C includes an adhesive surface coated with an adhesive material and a non-adhesive surface that is not adhered to the adhesive tape C (refer to 211 in Fig. 4) formed on the finger 210 of the grip portion forming module 200 Is adhered and supported at a negative pressure. In this state, the finger 210 is rotated to press the adhesive tape C onto the attachment surface 211.

As described above, at least one of the pair of fingers 210 may be rotated to press the adhesive tape C on the attachment surface 211 to form the grip portion at the end of the adhesive tape C, as described above. That is, as shown in the drawing, the bonding surfaces of the adhesive tape C are brought into contact with the end portions of the adhesive tape C supported on the fingers 210 in such a manner that the fingers 210 are rotated and folded to each other to form folded grip portions can do. The grip part forming module 200 rotates the finger 210 to form a grip part, grips and moves the grip part.

The grip portion forming module 200 can grasp and move the grip portion C1 between the fingers 210 to take out the adhesive tape C as shown in FIG. That is, the adhesive tape C can be taken out by applying tensile force to the grip part C1 by the finger 210 of the grip part forming module 200. [ The grip portion forming module 200 can move along the first guide rail 102 and the arrangement of the first guide rails 102 can be appropriately adjusted. For example, the first guide rail 102 and the second guide rail 103 may be arranged parallel to each other. If necessary, the first guide rail 102 may be slightly inclined to form the grip portion forming module 200 May be formed so as to approach the object to be bonded while drawing the adhesive tape (C).

The pressing module 300 presses the non-adhesive surface (lower surface of the drawn adhesive tape) of the drawn adhesive tape C to adhere the opposite adhesive surface (the upper surface of the drawn adhesive tape on the drawing) to the object to be adhered. The panel A and the glass B which are overlapped with each other can be objects to be bonded and the panel A and the glass B are inserted between the contactor 13a and the conveying roller 10a It can be maintained in a close contact state. The pressing module 300 can easily raise the adhesive tape C to the panel A and the glass B by extending the connecting portion 321 or the like and raising the pressing member 320 in a direction crossing the adhesive tape C Can be brought into close contact with each other.

The pressurizing module 300 moves in a direction parallel to the panel A and the glass B to be adhered and attaches the adhesive tape C as shown in Fig. That is, the pressing module 300 selectively moves the adhesive tape C in a direction crossing the adhesive tape C and in a direction parallel to the object to be bonded and selectively moving the adhesive tape C on the surfaces of the panels A and B, Can be effectively brought into close contact with each other. Particularly, the resiliently bonded pressing member 320 can press the surface of the glass B while passing through the cut portion A1 of the panel A, so that both the surface of the panel A and the surface of the glass B have the adhesive tape C Can be firmly attached.

At this time, the grip part forming module 200 can unfold the finger 210 and move the grip part C1 to the original position to support the adhesive tape C between the object to be bonded and the tape supply module 100 again . The grip portion forming module 200 can move to a position that does not intersect with the adhesive tape C by the sliding movement of the movable plate 230 as described above. Therefore, it can bypass and return to the home position without colliding with the pressure module 300 (see FIG. 5). The grip portion forming module 200 supports an adhesive tape C extending obliquely between the object to be bonded and the tape supply module 100 using an obliquely arranged attaching surface (see 211 in FIG. 4), and the attaching surface 211 ) To fix the non-adhesive surface of the adhesive tape (C) to the adhesive surface (211) again.

In this state, one side of the adhesive tape (C) is cut with the cutter (220). When the cutter 220 is moved to cut one side of the adhesive tape C, the portion (including the grip portion) attached to the object to be bonded of the adhesive tape C is separated from the tape supply module 100. The pressurizing module 300 is configured such that the adhesive tape C separated while reciprocating along the second guide rail 103 is firmly adhered to the surfaces of the panels A and B except for the holding portion C1 . Thus, the adhesive tape C can be automatically attached to the surface to be bonded. As shown in the figure, the adhesive tape C attached to the object to be bonded is formed with a grip portion C1, so that the operator can grasp the grip portion C1 as needed and easily separate the attached adhesive tape C Can be removed. The adhesive tape C is firmly and accurately attached to both the surface of the panel A and the surface of the glass B exposed by the cut portion A1 by the pressing module 300 to form the panel A and the glass B, Can be effectively fixed so as not to be separated.

As described above, the bonding object can be easily and efficiently taped with the adhesive tape automatic bonding apparatus 1 according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

Hereinafter, the operation of the assembly system of FIG. 1 will be described in detail with reference to FIG.

FIG. 9 is a view showing an operational process of the assembly system of FIG. 1. FIG.

The assembly system 2 according to an embodiment of the present invention can perform a process of assembling the panel A and the glass B. [ The panel A is accommodated in a truck or the like and supplied to the front end of the conveying rail 10.

It is possible to implement a tape supply module 100 in which a winding structure (e.g., a shaft or a drum) is formed on one side of the movable block 120 so that the adhesive tape C is rolled and fixed. The guide roller 110 is disposed in the movable block 120 and can move together with the movable block 120. [ The grip portion forming module 200 includes fingers 210 formed on a movable plate 230 movably coupled to the fourth guide rail 105 and coupled to the movable plate 230. A cutter 220 is coupled to one side of the finger 210. At this time, the position and shape of the cutter 220 are illustrative and need not be understood as limited as shown. The cutter 220 can be formed in various ways at various positions where the adhesive tape can be easily cut.

The grip portion forming module 200 moves to one side as described above and intersects or is released from the adhesive tape pulled out. For example, when the movable plate 230 is moved toward the frame 101 along the fourth guide rail 105, the position of the grip part forming module 200 including the finger 210 is changed, Is released. Therefore, the adhesive tape is interposed between the pressing module 300 and the tape supplying module 100, and the tension applied to the adhesive tape by the movement between the pressing module 300 and the tape supplying module 100 is adjusted. Particularly, the position of the tape supply module 100 on the third guide rail 104 can be changed in response to the movement of the pressing module 300, so that the tension of the adhesive tape can be appropriately adjusted.

Hereinafter, the operation of the automatic adhesive tape adhering apparatus according to the third embodiment of the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to FIGS. 12 to 14. FIG.

As shown in FIG. 12, the adhesive tape C is supplied from the tape supply module 100 and the distal end thereof is supported by the grip portion forming module 200. The adhesive tape C is attached to the attachment surface (refer to 211 in Fig. 11) formed on the finger 210 of the grip portion formation module 200 by adhering the non-adhesive surface with a negative pressure. In this state, the finger 210 is rotated to press the adhesive tape C onto the attachment surface 211. As shown in the figure, the bonding surfaces of the adhesive tape C are brought into contact with the end portions of the adhesive tape C supported on the fingers 210 in such a manner that the fingers 210 turn and fold each other, have. The drawing module 400 moves to the grip part forming module 200 to grasp the grip part and apply tension to the adhesive tape C as shown in the figure.

The drawing module 400 grasps and moves the grip portion C1 between the grippers 410 as shown in FIG. That is, tension can be applied to the grip portion C1 by the pull-out module 400 instead of the grip portion forming module 200, and the adhesive tape C can be pulled out. The drawing module 400 can move along the first guide rail 102 and the arrangement of the first guide rail 102 can be appropriately adjusted as necessary. The non-adhesive surface of the adhesive tape C thus drawn out is pressed by the pressing module 300 as shown. At this time, the grip part forming module 200 moves toward the frame 101 along the fourth guide rail 105 and is moved to a position where it does not intersect the adhesive tape C. That is, immediately after the gripper unit 410 grasps the grip unit C1, the grip unit forming module 200 stops or reduces the supply of sound pressure to separate the adhesive tape C, and moves in the in- (Indicated by "in" in FIG. 13, 200) to change the position so that the drawing of the adhesive tape C is not disturbed.

Particularly, the adhesive tape C can be attached very quickly by simultaneously pressing different points of the panel A and the glass B with the plurality of pressing members 320, and by the movement of the pressing module 300 The plurality of pressing members 320 can press the same point more than once to attach the adhesive tape C more firmly.

At this time, the grip part forming module 200 moves back to the original position to support the adhesive tape C between the object to be bonded and the tape supply module 100. The grip portion forming module 200 moves along the fourth guide rail 105 in a direction protruding from the plane shown in FIG. 14 (indicated by 'out' in FIG. 14 200) Cross again. The grip portion forming module 200 supports an adhesive tape C extending obliquely between the object to be bonded and the tape supply module 100 using an obliquely arranged attachment surface (see 211 in FIG. 11), and the attachment surface 211 ), So that the non-adhesive surface of the adhesive tape (C) can be fixed again to the attaching surface (211).

When the cutter 220 is moved to cut one side of the adhesive tape C, the grip portion C1 of the adhesive tape C is formed and the portion attached to the object to be bonded is separated from the tape supply module 100. [ The pressurizing module 300 is configured such that the remaining portion of the adhesive tape C separated while reciprocating along the second guide rail 103 is firmly attached to the surfaces of the panel A and the glass B to be adhered Can be brought into close contact with each other. When the pressing module 300 descends and returns to the home position and the risk of collision is eliminated, the drawing module 400 can approach the holding part forming module 200 along the first guide rail 102 again.

In this way, the adhesive tape C can be automatically attached to the surface to be bonded. In this case also, as shown in the figure, the grip portion C1 is formed on the adhesive tape C attached to the object to be bonded, so that the operator can grasp the grip portion C1 and attach the attached adhesive tape C And can be removed and removed. The adhesive tape C is firmly and accurately attached to both the surface of the panel A and the surface of the glass B exposed by the cut portion A1 by the pressing module 300 to form the panel A and the glass B, Can be effectively fixed so as not to be separated. In the embodiments of the present invention, the object to be bonded is exemplified by the panel and the glass. However, the object to be bonded need not be so limited, and the present invention can be applied to various other processes, It is easy to use.
