Patent number: 10631449Abstract: A tape processing method of reusing an opened component supplying tape used in a tape feeder which conveys the component supplying tape provided with a carrier tape including a plurality of component storing portions and a cover tape toward a component take out position, the tape feeder being configured to open a cover tape and convey the component supplying tape. The method includes steps of: repairing the component supplying tape by closing an opened portion of the cover tape and fixing by a repair tape to be returned to a state in which the component storing portion is covered by the cover tape; and cutting the component supplying tape at a predetermined cut position far away toward a downstream side in the conveying direction from a position of a head component located at the most downstream side in the conveying direction.Type: GrantFiled: October 1, 2015Date of Patent: April 21, 2020Assignee: YAMAHA HATSUDOKI KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Kazuyoshi Oyama, Kazuhiro Nagao, Koji Yamazumi

Patent number: 7503366Abstract: The invention provides a component feeding device where heat generation of a drive circuit is minimized and a printed board mounted with this drive circuit is miniaturized by forming an inexpensive structure using a single microcomputer and by energizing each of the servomotors only when necessary. In a component feeding unit of a dual lane type, a CPU in a microcomputer controls a start of driving of one of servomotors by energizing the servomotor through a drive circuit based on a component feeding signal for one lane outputted from a CPU of an electronic component mounting apparatus, and the CPU in the microcomputer controls one of the servomotors so that the servomotor is not energized when a component feeding signal for another lane is inputted before a predetermine time passes after a delay timer starts timekeeping when receiving a detection signal about rotation of the servomotor by a predetermined amount from an encoder detecting a rotation amount of the servomotor.Type: GrantFiled: February 10, 2005Date of Patent: March 17, 2009Assignee: Hitachi High-Tech Instruments Co., Ltd.Inventors: Kazuyoshi Oyama, Shigeru Kageyama, Kazuhiro Nagao, Tsutomu Yanagida

Patent number: 7216790Abstract: In a component feeding apparatus, forwarding pitches of the storage tape are reduced without using an alternative forwarding gear corresponding to the reduced pitches. The component feeding apparatus feeds chip components by intermittently forwarding the storage tape having the chip components by predetermined pitches. Thy apparatus has a sprocket for intermittently forwarding the storage tape, a forwarding gear supported by the same axis as that of the sprocket and rotating together with the sprocket, a forwarding lever turnably supported, and first and second forwarding pawls both attached to the forwarding lever. Every time the forwarding lever turns in a predetermined direction, the first forwarding pawl and the second forwarding pawl engage with the forwarding gear alternately to rotate the forwarding gear by half a tooth pitch.Type: GrantFiled: October 30, 2003Date of Patent: May 15, 2007Assignee: Hitachi High-Tech Instruments Co., Ltd.Inventor: Kazuhiro Nagao
