The heat that moves the roller housing 269 in the X direction is from the X-direction roller housing 269 toward the first The Z-direction movable member 268 moves. The heat moving toward the first Z-direction movable member 268 is conducted in the first Z-direction movable member 268 and diffused toward the front surface of the first Z-direction movable member 268. The heat diffused toward the front surface of the movable member 268 in the first Z direction is radiated toward the vacuum environment and is discharged toward the outside of the vacuum chamber 100.

Therefore, the seam welding can be completed in the vacuum chamber 100 in which the vacuum environment is maintained, and the productivity can be improved. Further, compared with the case where seam welding is performed in a chamber filled with a nitrogen gas and the nitrogen gas is consumed, the running cost can be suppressed. Further, when a problem occurs in a chamber filled with a nitrogen gas, after the problem is resolved, it is necessary to refill the nitrogen gas to fill the ground to lower the dew point. As a result, it takes a long time, and there is a problem that the productivity of the electronic component is lowered, but the present invention has no problem because the nitrogen gas is not required.

The X-direction welding element 200 is provided with a first Y-direction positioning carrier 205 as a first Y-direction shifting means for shifting the plurality of workpieces 10 in the Y-axis direction, and the first Y-direction positioning carrier 205 is directed toward Y. The plurality of workpieces 10 whose directions are offset are welded. The Y-direction welding element 300 is a second Y-direction positioning carrier having a plurality of workpieces 10 offset in the Y-axis direction. 305. The plurality of workpieces 10 offset in the Y direction are welded by the second Y-direction positioning carrier 305. Therefore, the plurality of workpieces 10 are conveyed in series in the X-axis direction, and only the movement shifted in the Y-axis direction is welded. That is, there is no unnecessary operation in the operation of the plurality of workpieces 10. As a result, it is possible to shorten the time taken for welding, and it is possible to achieve an increase in productivity, and space saving can be achieved.

Further, the transport path is provided so as to be able to straddle both the X-direction welding element 200 and the Y-direction welding element 300, and linearly transport the plurality of workpieces 10 in the X-axis direction from the loading and unloading of the vacuum chamber 100. Therefore, there is no unnecessary action on the operation of the plurality of workpieces 10. As a result, it is possible to shorten the time taken for welding, and it is possible to achieve an increase in productivity, and space saving can be achieved.

Further, the X-direction welding element 200 is provided with a first Y-direction positioning carrier 205 that is movable in the Y-axis direction, and an X-direction welding that is movable in the X-axis direction above the first Y-direction positioning carrier 205.

Therefore, the plurality of workpieces 10 arranged in an array in the X and Y-axis directions can be efficiently welded in the Y-axis direction in the Y-axis direction for a short period of time.

The X-direction fusion joint 230 includes a base 231 for the X-direction fusion joint, and a first Z-direction movable member 268 that is movable in the Z-axis direction with respect to the X-direction fusion joint base 231, and is disposed in the The first Z-direction movable member 268 can hold the X-direction welding roller 240 around the Y-axis and feed the X-direction welding roller holding portion 236 to the X-direction welding roller 240.

Further, the first Z-direction movable member 268 is insulating. Therefore, it is not necessary to provide an insulator between the X-direction welded roller housing 269 and the first Z-direction movable member 268 in order to insulate the X-direction fusion joint 230 from the X-direction welding roller 240. Providing such an insulator does not impair the movement of the X-direction welded roller outer casing 269 to the first Z-direction movable member 268 by the seam welding of the heat generated by the X-direction welding roller 240. Further, the first Z-direction movable member 268 has thermal conductivity. Therefore, heat that moves from the X-direction welded roller housing 269 toward the first Z-direction movable member 268 can be diffused toward the front surface of the first Z-direction movable member 268. Further, the first Z-direction movable member 268 has thermal radioactivity. So can The heat radiated toward the front surface of the first Z-direction movable member 268 is radiated, and further heat is prevented from being accumulated in the X-direction welding roller 240 and the X-direction welding roller housing 269. That is, the heat release performance can be improved. As a result, it is possible to prevent the conductive paste between the X-direction welding roller 240 and the X-direction welding roller housing 269 from melting and flowing outward, and further, it is possible to prevent the problem of the energization of the welding roller 240 in the X direction. As a result, the welding device 1 can be continuously used for a long time.

Similarly, the Y-direction fusion joint 330 includes a Y-direction fusion joint base 331 and a second Z-direction movable member 368 that can move in the Z-axis direction with respect to the Y-direction fusion joint base 331.

It can also be composed of materials that are thermally radioactive and insulating. In this case, at least a part of it is located between the contact portions of the roller holding portion, and it is important to recover the heat of the roller holding portion while ensuring insulation. Further, at least a part of it is opposite to the inner wall of the vacuum chamber to ensure a certain degree of surface. Since this surface can be used as a heat releasing surface, heat recovered from the roller holding portion is radiated to the inner wall of the vacuum chamber.
