  • Patent number: 11367170
    Abstract: A component mounter images suction states of components picked up by a suction nozzle, processes images of the suction states of the components to recognize the suction state of the component, and stores the images in a storage device with linking production information related to the components. An inspection machine images a mounted state of each component on a board, processes an image of mounted state of each component to recognize the mounted state of each component, and inspects whether a mounting error occurred for each component based on the recognition result. The inspection machine determines that a mounting error occurred for any of the components the image of the mounted state of the component for which a mounting error was determined to have occurred and a searched image of the suction state of the component are displayed on the display monitor in a comparative manner.

  • Publication number: 20220145985
    Abstract: An abnormality of a gear is more appropriately predicted. An abnormality prediction device of the present disclosure is used in a feeding device including a driving section, a gear connected to the driving section, and a detection section configured to detect a position of a medium fed in accordance with driving of the gear, and intermittently feeding the medium. The abnormality prediction device acquires detection information regarding a feed amount of the medium based on the position of the medium detected over time by the detection section, decomposes the acquired detection information into a trend component regarding a moving average of the gear, a cycle component based on a cycle of the gear, and a random component obtained by excluding the trend component and the cycle component, obtains an abnormality level of the gear based on the cycle component obtained by the decomposition, and outputs the obtained abnormality level.

  • Patent number: 11210764
    Abstract: An apparatus for performing work on a substrate includes an image processing device acquiring multiple images captured at different positions by performing imaging multiple times after a camera has been moved by a moving device such that a reference mark of a circuit board is within a range inside a field of view of the camera, creating a super resolution image using multi-frame super resolution processing, and recognizing the reference mark. The image processing device performs candidate region search processing of processing the image captured initially to search for a region within the image including a portion that has a possibility of being the reference mark as a candidate region after completion of the initial imaging, performs multi-frame super resolution processing on the candidate region after completion of final image capturing, creates a super resolution image of the candidate region, and recognizes the reference mark.

  • Patent number: 10863660
    Abstract: A component picked up by a suction nozzle of a component mounting machine is imaged by a camera, the captured image is processed by an image recognition system to recognize the component, the image is determined to be normal or abnormal based on the recognition result, and in addition to classifying the image as a normal image or an abnormal image and storing the image in a storage device, component mounting boards, unloaded from a component mounting machine, are inspected with an inspection device. A stored image reclassification computer acquires the inspection result from the inspection device, reclassifies the normal image stored in the storage device, based on the inspection result, as an image whose determination as a normal image is suspect or as an image whose determination as a normal image is not suspect, and then stores the normal image in the storage device.
