  • Component mounting machine and method for determining dropping of component
    Patent number: 11350550
    Abstract: A component mounting machine including a component supply device to supply a component to a supply position; a component transfer device to use a component mounting tool to pick up the component from the supply position and mount the component on a board; a component detecting section to detect whether the component is present at the supply position before or while the component is being picked up by the component mounting tool; a holding detecting section to detect whether the component mounting tool is holding the component following pickup; and a remaining detecting section to detect whether the component remains at the supply position in a case in which it is detected by the holding detecting section that the component is not being held by the component mounting tool; and a dropped determining section to determine whether the component has dropped.
    Type: Grant

  • Component mounting machine and retry method for picking up components
    Patent number: 11317549
    Abstract: A component mounting machine including a component supply device to supply a component to a supply position; a component transfer device to pick up the component from the supply position and mount the component on a board; a component detecting section to detect whether the component is present at the supply position before or while the component is being picked up by the component mounting tool; a holding detecting section to detect whether the component mounting tool is holding the component following pickup; and a retry performing section to determine whether to perform a retry operation of attempting to pick up the component again using the component mounting tool based on a detection result of the component detecting section and a detection result of the holding detecting section, and to perform the retry operation in accordance with a result of the determining of whether to perform the retry operation.
