  • Patent number: 11166400
    Abstract: A component supply device supplies components stored in a component storage tape to a component extracting position. The component supply device includes a component exposing unit that performs an exposing process for exposing the components in the component storage tape fed by a tape feeding unit, the component storage tape traveling on a travel path formed from a tape travel path forming unit. The component supply device further includes a cover member that covers at least a part of each component storage part of the component storage tape after the exposing process by the component exposing unit.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11076518
    Abstract: A component supply device supplies components stored in a component storage tape to a component extracting position. The component supply device includes a component exposing unit that exposes the components in the component storage tape fed by a tape feeding unit, the component storage tape traveling on a travel path formed from a tape travel path forming unit. The component exposing unit includes an insertion member that is inserted between a cover tape and a carrier tape and includes a base part and a tip part continuous with an upstream end in a tape feeding direction of the base part. The tip part is inclined toward the cover tape away from the carrier tape with respect to the base part in a state where the insertion member is inserted between the cover tape and the carrier tape.

  • Patent number: 11051440
    Abstract: A component supply device supplies components stored in a component storage tape to a component extracting position. The component supply device includes a component exposing unit that exposes the components in the component storage tape fed by a tape feeding unit, the component storage tape traveling on a travel path formed from a tape travel path forming unit. The component exposing unit includes a cover tape raising unit that performs a raising process for a cover tape. In the travel path formed from the tape travel path forming unit, a first path part on which the cover tape raising unit is disposed is inclined to one direction side in a Z-axis direction from an upstream side toward a downstream side in a tape feeding direction.

  • Patent number: 10631449
    Abstract: 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.
