  • Patent number: 11510350
    Abstract: The unloading operation of winding the carrier tape on the component supply reel by driving the component supply reel to extract the component supply reel from the tape feeder is performed. That is, the carrier tape removed from the tape feeder is wound on the component supply reel. Thus, it is possible to suppress the interference of the preceding tape removed from the tape feeder with the succeeding tape.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10993359
    Abstract: A reel holder includes a reel supporting member that is configured to support an axle against a force of gravity. The reel supporting member has an abutting part configured to support a reel, form a discharge opening having a width that allows the axle of the reel to be discharged through the discharge opening, and abut on carrier tape that is wound around the axle and accommodates a component. The reel holder further includes a tape supplier configured to pull out the carrier tape from the reel held by the reel holder and feed the carrier tape to a predetermined component supplying position. The axle of the reel, which displaces under the force of gravity with a decreasing amount of the carrier tape wound around the axle by pulling the carrier tape from the reel, is guided to the discharge opening by the reel supporting member.

  • Patent number: 10993357
    Abstract: A component mounter comprises a reel holder that holds a reel on which a carrier tape accommodating components is wound, a tape supplier that feeds the carrier tape withdrawn from the reel held by the reel holder to a predetermined component supplying position, and a mounting head that performs component mounting of removing the component from the carrier tape and mounting the component on a board. The reel holder includes a first reel support that supports the reel when component mounting is performed, a second reel support that supports a reel on which the carrier tape to be withdrawn by the tape supplier when a next component mounting is performed, and a reel guide that guides the reel moving from the second to first reel support by receiving a force acting toward the first reel support when the force acts on the reel supported on the second reel support.

  • Patent number: 10856459
    Abstract: A component supplying device supplying a component while using a component supply tape having components thereon includes a reel support portion rotatably supporting a reel around which the component supply tape is wound, a feeder transferring the component supply tape drawn out from the reel toward a component pick-up position and transferring the component supply tape from which the component is picked up at the component pick-up position S1 toward a tape discharge path, and a correction member arranged on a transfer path of the component supply tape between the reel support portion and the tape discharge path. The correction member is configured to correct curl of the component supply tape.
