Abstract
A system for adhering a plurality of parts to a support film is provided. The parts are positioned between a support base with a heater and a cover membrane. The cover membrane is located beneath a sealed chamber. The chamber has an inlet through which gas is input. A downward force caused by gas pressure in the chamber causes the cover membrane to contact the parts and presses the plurality of parts against the film. A heating device heats the film to cause the parts to adhere to the film.
