  • Publication number: 20170066072
    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.

  • Publication number: 20160278251
    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.

  • Publication number: 20160278217
    Abstract: Maintenance of a flow tank is facilitated. A sub-module is provided adjacent to a main module. A board is introduced in the sub-module, and is heated by a heater that is at a heating position, is moved to the main module, solder is applied by a flow tank in parallel with insertion of a component by a component insertion device, and thereby the component is mounted. If a maintenance condition is established, introduction of boards is stopped, the heater is moved to a standby position, and the flow tank is moved to a maintenance position of the sub-module. Maintenance is performed on the flow tank and since the component insertion device is not present above the flow tank, it is possible to facilitate inspection, removal, and the like of the flow tank.
