  • Patent number: 5711065
    Abstract: An electronic-component mounting system including a plurality of mounting units which are arranged along a reference line contained in a reference plane, each of the mounting units including (a) a mounting device which mounts at least one electronic component on an object and (b) a moving device which moves the mounting device along the reference plane and in a direction perpendicular to the reference plane, the moving device moving the mounting device within a first range which at least partly overlaps, along the reference line, a second range within which the mounting device of at least one adjacent mounting unit of the plurality of mounting units which is adjacent to the each mounting unit is moved by the moving device of the adjacent mounting unit, the mounting device of the each mounting unit mounting the electronic component on the object within the first range, the mounting device of the adjacent mounting unit mounting at least one electronic component on the object within the second range.

  • Patent number: 5671527
    Abstract: An electronic-component mounting system including supporting devices each of which supports and positions an object and is movable along a reference line, mounting units which are arranged along the reference line and each of which includes a mounting device which mounts an electronic component (EC) on the object, and a moving device which moves the mounting device in a three-dimensional space, each mounting unit having a mounting area in which the mounting device mounts the EC on the object, a feeding device which feeds the supporting devices along the reference line from the mounting area of a most upstream mounting unit to the mounting area of a most downstream mounting unit, a positioning error detector which detects an error of positioning of the object with respect to each supporting device located in a waiting area where each supporting device waits for being fed by the feeding device, and a control device which controls each mounting unit so that the mounting device of each mounting unit mounts the EC
