  • Publication number: 20180035578
    Abstract: A suction nozzle includes a suction pad portion at a tip of an air pipe formed to be larger than the air pipe, in which a resistance cavity which causes resistance and decreases air flow speed when a positive pressure is applied is formed between a flow path and a cavity portion. In the suction nozzle, since the resistance cavity is formed, a positive pressure is applied by the air whose flow speed is suppressed and the suction release of the component is performed. The resistance cavity may be a cavity having a slit shape.

  • Patent number: 9844170
    Abstract: When a mounting head is moved upward of a rear side conveyor across and over a front side conveyor after a component suction operation, it is determined whether or not there is a possibility that a component sucked by a suction nozzle may interfere with a component mounted on a circuit board on the front side conveyor. When so determined, a head lifting mechanism is caused to lift up the mounting head to a position where the component sucked by the suction nozzle does not interfere with the mounted component. Thereafter, the mounting head is moved upward of the rear side conveyor, and the head lifting mechanism is caused to lower down the mounting head to an initial height position. Thereafter, the component is mounted on a circuit board on the rear side conveyor.
