    Abstract: A cut and clinch device is provided with a pair of slide bodies, unit main body that holds the pair of slide bodies so as to be capable of moving towards and away from each other, and pitch changing mechanism that changes an insertion hole spacing distance that is a distance between insertion holes formed in the pair of slide bodies. Also, the leaded component held by the component holding tool is imaged by the imaging device before the leads are inserted into the through-holes of the board, and based on the imaging data, the lead spacing distance that is the distance between the pair of leads of the leaded component is calculated. Then, the pair of slide bodies are moved towards or away from each other such that the calculated lead spacing distance and the insertion hole spacing distance are the same.

  • Publication number: 20190029151
    Abstract: There is provided a clamp closed position checking mechanism 160 for checking whether or not an operation position of a clamp in a state where the clamp is closed is an appropriate position, in a component feeder which consecutively supplies one component by one component while positioning a component with leads P including multiple leads Le by a clamp 110 by guiding each of the leads to a defined position by a guide section 150, at a predetermined supply position SS. Due to bending of any of the multiple leads, even in a case where the bent lead is guided to the defined position of the other lead, by checking that the closed position of the clamp is not appropriate by using the clamp closed position checking mechanism, it is possible to easily detect the inappropriate state of the lead, such as the bending or the like of the lead, or the positioning of the lead at an inappropriate position.

  • Publication number: 20190004501
    Abstract: To provide a manufacturing system that is capable of still continuing work in a case in which a failure occurs in the network connection between the centralized management apparatus and a manufacturing line and a control method of the manufacturing system. When activation of all of the work machines (a screen printer, and the like) in a manufacturing line is completed, a line management device acquires, from a centralized management apparatus, material data and control data required in one day of manufacturing of the manufacturing line. Further, in a case in which a failure in a wide area network that connects the line management device and a centralized management apparatus is detected, the line management device causes a manufacturing work of mounting boards by a work machine to be continued on the basis of the control data, and the like, corresponding to one day, which is saved in advance.

  • Publication number: 20180368298
    Abstract: In a component mounting machine, before the suction nozzle held by the rotary head is automatically exchanged, the nozzle ID codes of all suction nozzles arranged on the nozzle station are continuously read at a high speed and stored in association with the position of each suction nozzle. Sequentially imaging the nozzle ID code display section of each suction nozzle of each column is performed without stopping the mark imaging camera while moving the camera in an arrangement direction of the suction nozzle of each column of the nozzle station. The movement direction of the camera is reversed each time the last imaging operation of one column is completed and the camera is moved to imaging an adjacent column and the nozzle ID code of each suction nozzle of each column read at the image processing is stored in the storage in association with the position of each suction nozzle.

  • Publication number: 20180279521
    Abstract: In component mounting device, if a rotary head held by a head holder greatly deviates from a specified reference, a CPU executes a process for a holding error. The process for the holding error includes a process of holding a rotary head again by the head holder or the like, for example. If the rotary head greatly deviates from a specified reference and the component mounting process is executed as is, there is a fear that poor precision will occur during component mounting. Therefore, the CPU does not execute the component mounting process but executes the process for the holding error.
