Abstract

A reel-to-reel circuit board manufacturing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes: a material which is moved while being wound and unwound by an uncoiler and a recoiler, and a clamp that is arranged so that a width direction of the material matches a lengthwise direction thereof, and is configured to fix the material, wherein the clamp includes a first clamp and a second clamp formed on opposite ends thereof, and a first-and-second clamp linkage formed between the first and second clamps.

Claims (23)

1 . A reel-to-reel circuit board manufacturing apparatus comprising:

a material that is moved while being unwound and wound by an uncoiler and a recoiler; and

a clamp arranged so that a width direction of the material matches a lengthwise direction thereof, and configured to fix the material,

wherein the clamp comprises:

first and second clamps formed on opposite ends thereof; and

a first-and-second clamp linkage formed between the first and second clamps and configured to provide a tension between the first and second clamps such that a distance between the first and second clamps is adjustable in the width direction of the material.

2 . The reel-to-reel circuit board manufacturing apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the first-and-second clamp linkage has an elastic body that provides the tension between the first and second clamps.

3 . The reel-to-reel circuit board manufacturing apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the first-and-second clamp linkage has a magnet portion so as to provide the tension between the first and second clamps.

4 . The reel-to-reel circuit board manufacturing apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the clamp includes a plurality of clamps arranged at constant intervals along a direction in which the material proceeds.

5 . The reel-to-reel circuit board manufacturing apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising a clamp arm configured to be connected to the clamp for fixing the clamp, wherein the clamp arm is attachable to/detachable from the clamp.

6 . The reel-to-reel circuit board manufacturing apparatus of claim 5 , wherein the clamp arm is attachable/detachable while moving in a direction perpendicular to the clamp.

7 . The reel-to-reel circuit board manufacturing apparatus of claim 5 , wherein

the clamp arm includes a first clamp arm configured to be connected to the first clamp; and

a second clamp arm configured to be connected to the second clamp, and

the first clamp arm and the second clamp arm are attached/detached to a respective one of the first clamp and second clamp separately from each other.

8 . The reel-to-reel circuit board manufacturing apparatus of claim 5 , wherein the clamp arm has a variable length.

9 . The reel-to-reel circuit board manufacturing apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising

a clamp support formed along the direction in which the material proceeds,

wherein the clamp is connected to the clamp support.

10 . The reel-to-reel circuit board manufacturing apparatus of claim 9 , further comprising

a rail portion formed on the clamp support along the direction in which the material proceeds,

wherein the clamp is connected to the rail portion, and

the clamp is moved along the rail portion.
