Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of circuit material processing, in particular to a bending and shaping mechanism for flexible circuit materials. Background Art

[0002] Flexible circuit boards are made of polyimide or polyester film as substrates. They are highly reliable and extremely flexible printed circuit boards with high wiring density, light weight, thin thickness, and good bendability. However, flexible circuit boards need to be bent and shaped during the production process. There is no automated production equipment in the prior art, and all production links are completed manually. The process steps are relatively complicated, the production efficiency is low, the product consistency is poor, the yield is low, and the product is easily scrapped. The bending tooling is not compatible (that is, one product is equipped with one tooling); from the beginning of production to the completion of product curing, each product must occupy a bending tooling. Therefore, if you want to mass produce, you must invest in a large number of bending tools, but the production cost of the bending tooling is high, so it requires a high cost, and after the product is updated, the original tooling cannot be used, which will cause a lot of cost waste. For this reason, we propose a bending and shaping mechanism for flexible circuit materials. Summary of the invention
