Abstract: A first illuminating devices, when the component adsorbed by an adsorbing nozzle and located in an imaging field of vision is a surface mounted component, illuminate the bottom surface of a component by irradiating light to the component obliquely from below, and a second illuminating device, when the component adsorbed by the adsorbing nozzle and located in the imaging field of vision is a through hole component, only illuminate the downwards extending parts of the component by irradiating light at an irradiation angle closer to a horizontal direction irradiation than the irradiation angle of the light of the first illuminating device to the component are included. That the component is illuminated by the first illuminating devices and that the component is illuminated by the second illuminating devices are switched based on whether the component is a surface mounted component or a through hole component.

Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to provide a parts recognition data preparing method and a preparing device and an electronic parts mounting device and a recording medium, which are capable of preparing parts recognition data, which are set to respective electronic parts and are referred to when the electronic parts are to be recognized, precisely and quickly not to know particularly the characteristic of the recognition algorithm.

Abstract: The present invention provides a device and a method for determining whether or not a component holder is good, which enable detecting component holders that are to affect correct component recognition and further enable preventing interferences between constituent devices, a component mounting apparatus with the determining device, and a component mounting method. The determining device has an illuminating device, a CCD camera and a controller to determine whether or not a suction nozzle is good based on luminance at a component hold face of the suction nozzle. The suction nozzle having light reflectance of the component hold face increased to a level whereat a correct recognition of an electronic component held by the suction nozzle is affected, can be detected accordingly. An interference preventing device is also provided, so that interference between the CCD camera and the suction nozzle can be prevented.

Abstract: A component recognizing method, and an apparatus for executing the method, for applying light to leads on a mounting surface of an electronic component and executing positional detection of the leads by a height detecting section, comprising a 3-D sensor, on the basis of light reflected from the leads. The method includes limiting a region to be measured by the height detection section so that light reflected from objects behind or near the leads is excluded from the region and processing light reflected from the region, thereby removing the reflected light from objects behind or near the lead.

Abstract: In an electronic component installation device for manufacturing an electronic circuit substrate, wherein components are picked up from a parts supply device and placed on a circuit substrate, the height of the installing surface s of an electronic component 10 from a reference surface is detected with the use of a three-dimensional imaging device 2, and the distance the suction nozzle 9 of the mounting head 1 is lowered is accurately determined with respect to each of electronic components that vary in thickness.

Abstract: A cartridge adaptor accommodates a second cartridge which is smaller than a first cartridge so as to allow the second cartridge to be mounted in a disk apparatus designed to receive the first cartridge. The cartridge adaptor includes a shutter opener engageable with a shutter opener of the disk apparatus to open and close a shutter of the second cartridge, a projection engageable with a recess of the second cartridge to restrict insertion direction of the second cartridge into the disk apparatus, and a conveying member which is too be inserted into a transmission aperture formed in correspondence with an identification hole formed in the second cartridge, thereby opening and closing a detection hole of the cartridge adaptor formed at a corresponding position to an identification hole of the first cartridge.
