  • Publication number: 20250052794
    Abstract: An object of the present disclosure is to acquire an open correction value in a good manner. In an electrical characteristic acquiring device according to the present disclosure, an open correction value, which is an electrical characteristic when the interval between a pair of probes is the length of a component to be measured on an electrode side, is calculated based on the measurement value of the electrical characteristic when the interval between the pair of probes is a set length, a set length, and the length of the component on the electrode side. Therefore, even when it is difficult to adjust the interval between the pair of probes, the open correction value can be accurately acquired. In addition, it is not necessary to measure the open correction value every time the component to be measured is changed, and the work efficiency can be improved accordingly.

  • Publication number: 20250048608
    Abstract: A substrate manufacturing method is a method for manufacturing a substrate on which multiple components are mounted. In this method, some components among the multiple components are mounted via a first operation of lowering the collecting member until contact of the component with the substrate is detected by a contact detection sensor, and of measuring a contact height in a mounting position of the component based on the detection of the contact performed by the contact detection sensor. In addition, other components are mounted via a second operation of setting a target height based on a measurement result of the contact height when the some components are mounted via the first operation, and of lowering the collecting member until the component is positioned at the target height.
