Mechanism and method for automatically transferring support pillars

Abstract

An automatic support pillar transfer mechanism is provided that enables an enlarged transfer range, reduced produce failure and mass-production. The touch sensors,to,are arranged on the moving section,to measure the plane orientation of the surface of the jig,The jig adjusting section,is driven based on the measurement results on the plane orientations of surfaces of the jig,to adjust the surface of the jig,in parallel. With plural support pillars,sucked and held at predetermined intervals by the jig,adjusted in parallel, the bonding agent coated substrate 14 attached on the moving section,is descended to coat the bonding agent,onto the one ends of the support pillars,The substrate,to which the support pillars,are transferred is attached to the moving section,Variations in plane orientation of surfaces of the substrate,are respectively measured by means of the touch sensors,to,The jig adjusting section,is driven according to the variations in plane orientation of the surfaces of the substrate,With the surface of the jig,arranged in parallel to the surface of the substrate,the moving section,is descended to transfer the support pillars,onto the surface of the substrate
