Abstract: In a component mounter including a component holding tool configured to hold lead of a lead component, a position of mark given to the component holding tool and a position of a distal end of the lead are calculated based on captured image data, and when a distance between the position of the mark and the position of the distal end of the lead is smaller than a threshold, mounting work is performed, whereas when the distance is equal to or greater than the threshold, the mounting work is not performed. As a result, for example, mounting work on a lead component having a lead which is greatly bent can be avoided, thereby ensuring proper mounting work.

Abstract: The movement time of a board is shortened in an electronic component mounting device that performs heating and component mounting. Heating and component mounting are performed as a board is moved in the direction of arrow A; the board is moved by an in-conveyor device in the heating region, and by a shuttle device on rails in the component mounting region. When comparing chains with rails, the friction generated between the board is smaller with chains, thus the movement speed of the in-conveyor is faster. This means, compared to a case in which the board is moved by the rails and shuttle device in both the heating region and the component mounting region, the movement time of the board is shorter. Also, because there are no chains below the rails, the movable range of a flow tank is larger, and the component mountable region is larger.

The control device includes a first valve opening degree setting value and a second valve opening degree setting value larger than the first valve opening degree setting value of the cooler side valve, the first valve opening degree setting value is used when the ambient temperature is lower than a predetermined switching temperature, and the second valve opening degree setting value is used when the ambient temperature is higher than the switching temperature.

Abstract: Solder housed in flow tank 20 is ejected from nozzle 22 by a pump provided inside flow tank 20. Jet motor 26 that drives the pump is provided outside flow tank 20, and cooling device 30 is provided between flow tank 20 and jet motor 26. Cooling device 30 includes cooling pipe 52 that is formed folded back on itself. Nitrogen gas is supplied from an upper end of cooling pipe 52, flows along cooling pipe 52, and flows out of a lower end of cooling pipe 52 so as to be supplied to flow tank 20. The temperature of the nitrogen gas increases due to heat dissipated from jet motor 26, thus lowering the temperature of jet motor 26. Heat is transferred from jet motor 26 to the nitrogen gas, and jet motor 26 is cooled satisfactorily.
