Abstract: A component crimping apparatus control method which enables a measuring tool to directly measure a temperature of a part pressed by a pressing head. The component crimping apparatus control method is applied to a component crimping apparatus which crimps a component onto a plate-shaped workpiece, and causes a measuring tool shaped identically as the workpiece to measure a temperature or a pressure of a pressed part in a pressing process of pressing a component onto the workpiece using a heated pressing head. The method includes acquiring information indicating whether or not the measuring tool is held in the component crimping apparatus, and, in the case where the information indicating that the measuring tool is held is acquired, positioning the measuring tool identically as the workpiece, and executing the pressing process on the component to be attached to the measuring tool after the positioning.

Abstract: An adhesive tape applying apparatus includes a stage on which a terminal end portion of a first tape member and a leading end portion of a second tape member are placed so as to be superimposed on each other, an ultrasonic tool in which a plurality of protruding portions are provided on its contact surface that is to be put into contact with the leading end portion or terminal end portion of the superposed tape members, an ultrasonic vibration generator for applying ultrasonic vibrations in a tape's thicknesswise direction to the ultrasonic tool, and a pressing device for making a stage-directed pressing force act on the ultrasonic tool. As a result, the terminal end portion of the in-use first tape member and the leading end portion of the second tape member rolled out from a new reel can be spliced together with a simple, low-cost construction while the possibility of occurrence of trouble in tape feed is eliminated.

Abstract: An adhesive sheet attaching device is provided with: a stage (6); a feeder (10) for feeding adhesive sheet (8) onto the stage (6); a cutter (16); a pressurizer (7) for attaching the adhesive sheet (8) to a target object mounted on the stage (6); a detector (11) for detecting a connecting portion (18); and a controller. When the detector (11) detects the connecting portion (18), the controller stops the operation of the feeder (10) after adhesive sheet (8) of an attachable length up to the connecting portion (18) has been attached. This makes it possible to reliably prevent adhesive sheet (8) containing a connecting portion (18) from being attached to a target object, and to effectively use the adhesive sheet up to the connecting portion (18), thus making it possible to suppress resource loss.

Abstract: Component mounting equipment mounts an FPC board onto an LCD board. The LCD board has a first electrode section on one side edge and a second electrode section on another side edge. The FPC board has a first section on one side edge and a second section on another side edge. A first mounting apparatus mounts the first section on the first electrode section. A second mounting apparatus mounts the second section on the second electrode section. In the second component mounting apparatus, the second section is separated from the second electrode section at an ACF supply section and released at a pre-press bonding section.

Abstract: Transfer of liquid crystal panels to subsequent processes is performed with the panels placed on transfer arms and held by suction pads. A small suction force can be sufficient, and a suction irregularity is prevented. The transfer arms are arranged at a lower side of the liquid crystal panels, thus not obstructing the liquid crystal panels. In arranging the liquid crystal panels at an image pickup device, a panel holding device is controlled to be driven so as to position panel marks to a bonding height position while negating a deflection amount of the liquid crystal panels, and furthermore a component holding device is controlled to be driven so as to position component marks to the bonding height position and to mount electronic components to the liquid crystal panels at the bonding height position.

Abstract: Transfer of liquid crystal panels to next processes is carried out with the panels placed on transfer arms (6) and held by suction pads (12). A small suction force can be sufficient, and a suction irregularity is prevented. Transfer arms are arranged at the lower side of liquid crystal panels, thus not obstructing the liquid crystal panels. In arranging the liquid crystal panels to an image pickup device (111), a panel hold device (112) is controlled to drive to position panel marks to a bonding height position with negating a deflection amount of the liquid crystal panels, and furthermore a component hold device is controlled to drive to position component marks to the bonding height position and to mount electronic components to the liquid crystal panels at the bonding height position. Thus, an accuracy for mounting electronic components can be improved in comparison with the conventional art.
