Automatic fabrication of closed loops and belts from variety of materials involves pressing belt ends and gluing them together

摘要

The end (410) of a strip of the belt material (41) is gripped (22) and a length measured out to be cut off. The grip retains the second end (411) of the cut-off section. The two ends are then glued together by firstly coating one or both ends with an adhesive, then bringing the two ends together using the grip.
