BOARD FIXING DEVICE AND BOARD FIXING METHOD

To remove or reduce the deflection and wrinkling of a thin board like a film.SOLUTION: A board fixing device 2 according to the present invention comprises: one fixing mechanism 8 and the other fixing mechanism 7 which are constituted to be capable of holding or releasing one edge and the other edge of opposed sides of a printed-wiring board 6 serving as a board, respectively; a movement mechanism 3b which is movably constituted to relatively separate them from each other; and a control part 11 which controls the one fixing mechanism 8 and the other fixing mechanism 7 and the movement mechanism 3b. The one fixing mechanism 8 and the other fixing mechanism 7 are constituted to be capable of adjusting a holding force in a holding state. The control part 11 is constituted to relatively separate the pair of fixing mechanisms 8 and 7 from each other by the movement mechanism 3b so that the other edge can slide with respect to the other fixing mechanism 7 within a range that can keep the other edge in a state in which the other fixing mechanism 7 for holding the other edge is held with the relatively weak holding force with respect to the one fixing mechanism 8 for holding the one edge.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】フィルム状のような薄い基板のたわみや皺を除去又は低減する。【解決手段】本発明の基板固定装置２は、基板としてのプリント配線板６の対辺の一方及び他方の縁部をそれぞれ把持又は解放可能に構成されている一方及び他方の固定機構８，７と、それらの間隔を相対的に離隔させるように移動可能に構成されている移動機構３ｂと、一方及び他方の固定機構８，７及び移動機構３ｂを制御する制御部１１とを備え、一方及び他方の固定機構８，７は、前記把持時の把持力を調節可能に構成されている。制御部１１は、前記一方の縁部を把持する一方の固定機構８に対して前記他方の縁部を把持する他方の固定機構７を相対的に弱い把持力で把持させた状態において、前記他方の縁部の把持が維持可能な範囲内で該他方の縁部を他方の固定機構７に対してスライド移動させるように、移動機構３ｂにより一対の固定機構８，７の間隔を相対的に離隔させるように構成されている。【選択図】図１
