  • Patent number: 10943215
    Abstract: An equipment element repair management method for managing a repair operation of an equipment element that is attached to manufacturing equipment for manufacturing a product includes: performing a maintenance operation for the equipment element; determining whether or not a state of the equipment element after the maintenance operation is more improved than a predetermined state; transporting the equipment element of which the state is not more improved than the predetermined state to a repairer for performing the repair operation for the equipment element in a case where the state of the equipment element is not more improved than the predetermined state; and performing the repair operation of the transported equipment element in the repairer.

  • Publication number: 20080250636
    Abstract: Reference marks arranged at specified intervals on a glass board are recognized, and from its recognition results, offset values for individual areas matching the board size are determined as numerical values for correction use, and further corresponding offset values for individual movement positions of a component placing head are reflected as numerical values for correction use in operation of placing position correction, mark recognition correction, or measurement of placing position offset values, respectively. Thus, high-accuracy placing is achieved. Moreover, correction of positional displacement of a component holding member due to an inclination of the component placing head is performed.

  • Patent number: 7356918
    Abstract: An X-Y robot having a structure that linearly deforms along an X-axis direction and a Y-axis direction, a camera reference mark, and a control unit are provided. The X-Y robot causes no displacement of warp or the like and linearly deforms along only the X-axis direction and the Y-axis direction even if heat takes effect due to continuous operation. Therefore, if the amount of expansion and contraction of the X-Y robot due to heat is obtained by picking-up an image of the camera reference mark by a board recognition camera and the component placing position is corrected on the basis of the amount of expansion and contraction, then an electronic component can be mounted in a prescribed position or almost in the prescribed position.
