  • Patent number: 11910532
    Abstract: A component mounting machine automatically arranges backup pins at positions designated in a production job. A control device configured to control an operation of each of the component mounting machines determines whether a backup pins exists at a position where the backup pin cannot be automatically arranged in the arrangement of the backup pins designated in the production job, and when the backup pin exist at a position where the backup pin cannot be automatically arranged, excludes the backup pins at the position from the arrangement of the backup pins designated in the production job not to be automatically arranged, and automatically arranges only the other backup pins at the positions designated in the production job.

  • Patent number: 11856707
    Abstract: An automatic backup pin arrangement operation includes a backup plate facing a lower surface of circuit board where backup pins stored in a stock areas are picked up with an XY-robot to be automatically arranged at positions of the backup plate designated in a production job. In a case where there is no free space in the stock areas for an unnecessary backup pin removed from the backup plate to be placed when a production job for changing the arrangement of the backup pins is switched, at least a part of a region of the backup plate facing a lower surface of the circuit board, which does not interfere with a mounted component on a lower surface side of the circuit board, is used as retraction area, and the unnecessary backup pin that cannot be retracted to the stock area is retracted to the retraction area.

  • Patent number: 11324151
    Abstract: The measurement position determination device of the present disclosure is a measurement position determination device for determining a measurement position on a board, the measurement position being for measuring height of the board on which on which a component is mounted, and includes a measurement position determination section for acquiring one or more scheduled mounting positions of the component on the board at the time of measuring the board height and determining at least one of the acquired scheduled mounting positions as the measurement position of the board height.

  • Patent number: 11109520
    Abstract: In a rotary head type component mounter, among a specified quantity of suction nozzles held by a rotary head, multiple suction nozzles are lowered simultaneously. When the rotary head is moved by a head moving mechanism to a nozzle exchange area and exchange of suction nozzles is performed, two station reference marks of the nozzle station are imaged by a mark imaging camera, image recognition is performed of the positions of the two station reference marks, and the position and angle of the nozzle station is calculated. Then, the position and angle of the rotary head is corrected to be aligned with the position and angle of the nozzle station, multiple of the suction nozzles held on the rotary head are lowered simultaneously by Z-axis driving mechanisms and simultaneously exchanged with multiple of the suction nozzles in the nozzle station.

  • Patent number: 10966359
    Abstract: A board work system including ark arrangement members, on which are arranged multiple marks that have a specified relative positional relationship, are arranged straddling first work area in which first work head moves and second work area in which second work head moves, and, when performing work with respect to a board, which is a single board held by a board holding device in a state straddling the first work area and the second work area, based on positions of the marks in first work area measured based on image data of first imaging device that is moved along with the first work head and positions of the marks in second work area measured based on image data of second imaging device that is moved along with the second work head.
