Description

Substrate flattening device

This creation is related to a conveyor, especially a substrate flattening device.

For substrates such as flexible boards, before curing or baking, the material of the substrate itself has a certain degree of softness and hardness and must be flattened first. Therefore, a frame equivalent to the periphery of the substrate is usually used, and the frame is first pressed and deformed inwards, and then the substrate is placed in the frame and fixed, and provided by the natural restoring force of the material of the frame itself The substrate is pulled outwards so that the substrate can be flattened. Finally, put it into the baking equipment together with the frame for baking.

However, the above-mentioned traditional methods often make the frame subjected to long-term external force reciprocating action, so it is easy to cause problems such as deformation and elastic fatigue of the frame used for a certain period of time, which is not enough to provide a flattening effect, and even causes frequent operations The replacement of the frame will increase the production cost.
