  • Publication number: 20220312659
    Abstract: A component mounting machine includes a head having a holding member configured to hold the component, and a control device. The control device performs a pre-mounting inspection for inspecting a state of a component held in the holding member, and controls the head so that the component held in the holding member is mounted on the board in a case where a determination of normality is made in the pre-mounting inspection. In addition, the control device performs a post-mounting inspection for inspecting a state of the component already mounted on the board by the head in a case where a determination of abnormality is made in the pre-mounting inspection or in a case where a determination of abnormality suspicion is made which is within an allowable range determined to be normal but is suspected to be abnormal in the pre-mounting inspection.

  • Publication number: 20210382657
    Abstract: A data management device includes a data management section and a priority setting section. The data management section acquires data related to board work with at least one piece of additional information regarding the board work, and stores the acquired data in a storage device in which a maximum storage amount is set for each additional information. The priority setting section sets a storage priority that is a priority for continuing storage of the acquired data stored in the storage device. The data management section stores the acquired data in the storage device, and deletes the acquired data stored in the storage device in order from the acquired data having a low storage priority set by the priority setting section when the maximum storage amount for at least one piece of the additional information is exceeded.

  • Patent number: 11092246
    Abstract: A gate valve comprising a plurality of first force-applying units built in a valve box; a second force-applying unit disposed between a first movable valve and a second movable valve; and a third force-applying unit. The first force-applying units are driven by incompressible fluid and have a function of applying a force to the first movable valve to be directed to the first opening portion in the flow passage direction and thereby causing the seal portion to be in close contact with a valve box inner surface located at the periphery of the first opening portion. The gate valve includes an incompressible-fluid driver that drives, the first force-applying units by incompressible fluid.
