The board moves toward the pressing assembly to loose a portion of the strap adhered to the board; the unloading assembly drives the loose portion of the strap to move to tension the loose portion of the strap to allow a part of the label to separate from the strap. | 11-20-2014 |

20150303081 | Die Bonding Device - A die bonding device includes: a wafer holder supporting a wafer where a die is formed; an ejector holder disposed at the wafer holder below the wafer and supporting a die ejector that assists separating the die from the wafer; a support unit supporting a substrate where the die is to be attached; a bonding unit that picks up the die from the wafer and attaches the picked-up die to the substrate; an ejector buffer unit that receives the die ejector; and a replacing unit that transfers the die ejector between the ejector holder and the ejector buffer unit. | 10-22-2015 |
20160052660 | Label Applicator Belt System - A label applicator system is described comprising one or more, and preferably two, assemblies of rollers and belts. The assemblies are arranged relative to one another such that at least a portion of the belts of each assembly are aligned with one another to define an article receiving lane. The assemblies are arranged and configured such that the lane extends in a zig-zag path, a relatively straight path, and/or an arcuate path. Selection of the lane geometry along with appropriate control of belt velocities enable high rates of applying labels to articles and particularly containers having compound curves. | 02-25-2016 |
