LAYER FORMING SYSTEM INCLUDING COVER WITH SUPPORT PADS, A POSITIONING SYSTEM WITH THE COVER AND SUPPORT PADS, AND A METHOD OF LOADING A PLATE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17525729 titled 'LAYER FORMING SYSTEM INCLUDING COVER WITH SUPPORT PADS, A POSITIONING SYSTEM WITH THE COVER AND SUPPORT PADS, AND A METHOD OF LOADING A PLATE

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a system for forming a layer on a substrate using a dispensing station, a shaping station, and a positioning system. The positioning system includes a hand to hold the substrate, a cover to protect the substrate and the dispensed material, and support pads to hold a plate.

  • The system includes a dispensing station that dispenses formable material onto a substrate.
  • A shaping station contacts the dispensed material on the substrate with a plate.
  • The positioning system consists of a hand to hold the substrate, a cover to protect the substrate and the dispensed material, and support pads to hold the plate.

Potential Applications

  • Manufacturing processes that require precise layer formation on substrates.
  • 3D printing or additive manufacturing techniques.
  • Coating or surface modification processes.

Problems Solved

  • Ensures accurate and controlled dispensing of formable material onto the substrate.
  • Provides a means to shape and manipulate the dispensed material using a plate.
  • Protects the substrate and the dispensed material from external factors.

Benefits

  • Improved accuracy and precision in forming layers on substrates.
  • Enhanced control over the shaping and manipulation of the dispensed material.
  • Protection of the substrate and the dispensed material from contamination or damage.


Original Abstract Submitted

A system for forming a layer on a substrate, the system comprising a dispensing station configured to dispense formable material on the substrate, a shaping station configured to contact the dispensed formable material on the substrate with a plate, and a positioning system. The positioning system includes a hand configured to hold the substrate, a cover having an underside surface facing the hand and a topside surface opposite the underside surface, the cover being configured such that the underside surface covers the substrate and the dispensed formable material when the cover is positioned over the hand, and a plurality of support pads positioned on the topside surface of the cover, the plurality of support pads being configured to support the plate.
