Abstract

The invention is to provide an aligner which may produce the printed circuit works having no defects due to the incomplete alignment of the film-mask and the work, wherein the film-mask F having aligning marks 3 and the work K having aligning marks 4 are closely contacted with each other, and then the aligned conditions of the aligning marks 3 and 4 are detected, if the aligned conditions are detected to be out of the range of a predetermined tolerance, the close contact of the film-mask F and the work K is canceled, and the same aligning operation is repeated until the aligned conditions are detected to be within the range of a predetermined tolerance, so that the products of inferior quality may be prevented from being produced due to the incomplete alignment.
