METODO Y APARATO PARA CONTROLAR EL CORTE Y COLOCACION DE COMPONENTES SOBRE UN SUSTRATO MOVIL, Y ARTICULO HECHO CON EL MISMO

Un aparato y un método distintos para proporcionar selectivamente segmentos predeterminados de un material de tela comprende un mecanismo de suministro para proporcionar el material de tela. Un primer mecanismo censor detecta un marcador de referencia sobre el material de tela para generar por lo menos un dato marcador de referencia el cual está asociado con un segmento de tela seleccionado. A method and apparatus for selectively providing predetermined segments (28) of web material (22) comprises a supplying mechanism (20) for providing the web material. A first sensing mechanism (24) detects a reference marker (28) on the web material to generate at least one reference marker datum which is associated with a selected web segment (28). A separating mechanism (35) includes a sensor mechanism (75) for providing at least one separation datum, and divides the web material along a separation region during a production of the web segment. A phase regulating mechanism controls a relative phasing between the reference marker detected by the first sensing mechanism and the dividing by the separating mechanism. The phasing is conducted with respect to a set reference value. An assembling mechanism (34) places the web segment (28) onto a substrate (36), and a second sensing mechanism (40, 84) separately detects a location of the separation region relative to the reference marker to generate at least one location datum which is in correspondence with the separation datum. A location correlating mechanism generates at least one comparison datum associated with a web segment, and a data processing mechanism (45) evaluates the comparison datum to generate an updated set reference value. A reference regulating mechanism selectively adjusts the phase regulating mechanism to incorporate the updated set reference value.
