Abstract

Abstract a clamping unit compressively presses elements mounted on a continuous tape against an adhesive surface of a substrate at a bonding station and transports the substrate and tape together toward a stripping station. synchronous feed and collection control rollers allow the tape to be held taut, yet free to move toward the stripping station. A drive arrangement for the synchronous rollers is provided to permit the desired tension to be maintained on the tape and to permit spaced loci on the tape to be aligned with the discrete substrates. A feed wheel incrementally advances substrates to the bonding station through a plurality of intermediate heat stations.
