Abstract
An optical bonding machine is provided that includes a robotic placement machine having a Z axis actuator coupled to a first end of a base portion of the robotic placement machine, the Z axis actuator capable of moving up and down a Z axis, and a pick and place plate operably connected to the Z axis actuator, and a vertically oriented adhesive application valve configured to apply an amount of adhesive onto an underside of a substrate, the underside of the substrate facing down when the amount of adhesive is applied, wherein the pick-and-place plate of the robotic placement machine manipulates the substrate within the optical bonding machine such that the substrate receives the amount of adhesive prior to being optically bonded to an other substrate; wherein a movement of the robotic placement machine is controllable over at least 3 axes.
