  • Publication number: 20150097025
    Abstract: An electrode forming device has a flux application unit that applies flux on a substrate; a plurality of ball filling units that are arranged in series at a downstream side of the flux application unit and fill conductive balls on the substrate applied with the flux to form electrodes; and a first conveying device, a second conveying device, a first bypass conveyor and a second bypass conveyor that convey the substrate to one of the ball filling units and conveys the substrate in such a way as to bypass the other ball filling unit.

  • Publication number: 20150097024
    Abstract: An electrode forming device has a pressing unit that presses a substrate on a printing table from above, a suction unit that sucks the substrate on the printing table, a mask member integrally formed with a first mask section used for applying flux on the substrate and a second mask section used for filling a conductive ball on the substrate applied with the flux, a squeegee head that applies the flux via the first mask section, an air cylinder that moves the mask member, and a filling head that fills a conductive ball via the second mask section.

  • Patent number: 8919634
    Abstract: A solder ball printing apparatus fills plural openings formed in a mask with solder balls using a squeegee and prints the solder balls on plural electrode portions formed on a surface of a substrate facing the mask. The solder ball printing apparatus includes: a substrate mounting table on which the substrate is mounted and on the back surface side of which plural hole portions are formed; a print table on which the substrate mounting table is mounted; an XY? stage which can drive the print table in a horizontal plane; a print table cylinder which can vertically drive the print table; a mask absorption portion which has members that can be fitted into the substrate mounting table; and a mask absorption cylinder which can vertically drive the mask absorption portion.
