Abstract: There is provided a reflow soldering apparatus for soldering electronic parts to a circuit substrate by blowing various inert hot gases of a desired density and temperature. A device for detecting whether or not a processing object is being conveyed into the apparatus is provided, so that the amount of inert gas to be supplied and the gas blowing speed are decreased when no processing object is present inside the apparatus. As a result, the amount of gas which flows out is made small, and a decrease in the temperature of the apparatus can be prevented. When the processing object is conveyed into the apparatus, the amount of supplied gas is increased so as to obtain a sufficient gas density. Thus, it is possible to prevent solder from being oxidized, and satisfactory solderability can be obtained.

Abstract: A reflow soldering apparatus having a pre-heating chamber and a reflow chamber, wherein a hot gas recirculation system including a cross-flow blower, a diverging nozzle and a heater is provided in the reflow chamber or both in the pre-heating chamber and the reflow chamber, so that a hot gas such as heated air is uniformly applied to the object such as a combination of a substrate and an electronic parts carried by the substrate, whereby uniform distributions of temperature and flow velocity of the hot gas are attained. The hot gas recirculation means may be arranged so as to vary the angle at which the hot gas impinges upon the substrate and the breadth over which the hot gas is applied.

Abstract: The present invention consists in that printed patterns on a printed circuit board and component information near the printed patterns are photographed, that the type of an electronic component to be mounted and the mounting position and mounting attitude of the electronic component are recognized from the photographed image, and that the predetermined electronic component is mounted on the predetermined position of the printed circuit board at the predetermined attitude on the basis of the above information items. Further, a program for the mounting order of all the electronic components to be mounted on the printed circuit board is generated on the basis of the image processing information items.

Abstract: In an electronic chip supplying apparatus, a vacuum suction device for sucking a retainer tape which encases electronic chips is provided in a retainer tape support member provided at an opening position where the electronic chips are picked up from a chip pickup device, or a tension applying device for the retainer is provided. Thus, vertical fluctuation of the retainer tape is prevented at the opening position.

Abstract: A linear motor of moving-coil type is disclosed, in which a multi-phase moving coil includes a plurality of flat coil units each not wider than the longitudinal length of a permanent magnet making up a stationary part divided by the number of coil phases, the flat coil units being arranged successively in the same plane with central parts not adjacently overlaid one on the other. The central parts of the moving flat coil units have a thickness equivalent to a single phase in spite of the multiple phases of the moving coil. Thus a great electromagnetic force is generated, and at the same time a high propulsive force is obtained with the magnetic flux density not reduced in the gap accomodating one phase of coils alone.
