  • Patent number: 11173608
    Abstract: An articulated robot includes an arm, an actuator, a storage device, and a control device. The storage device stores the correction parameter for correction accuracy required for each of the multiple work regions, which are segmented as the regions in which work on the work target object is performed in the movable region of the robot arm. When the work is instructed with designation of the target position, the control device acquires, from the storage device, a correction parameter corresponding to a work region to which the designated target position belongs, among the multiple work regions. Then, the control device controls the actuator by correcting the target position using the acquired correction parameter.

  • Patent number: 11006529
    Abstract: A circuit forming method where a metal ink is ejected to a planned formation position of a first wiring at an upper face of a base material. Then, the metal ink is baked, and first wiring is formed. Further, a planned connection section of the first wiring and a second wiring is unbaked. The metal-ink is ejected over an upper face of the unbaked metal ink and a planned formation position of the second wiring at the upper face of the base material. Since the wettability of the upper face of the unbaked metal ink and the wettability of the upper face of the base material are equal to each other, the ejected metal ink ejected and the unbaked metal ink are not separated from each other, so that it is possible to properly connect the first wiring and the second wiring to each other.

  • Patent number: 10933589
    Abstract: To provide a data conversion device capable of generating data necessary for shaping a target object using an inkjet method from three-dimensional data in accordance with an impact diameter. Grid data generation section of data conversion device generates grid data obtained by defining layer data by each grid region indicating a position to which a droplet is ejected by the inkjet method. Ejection position change section changes the position (ejection region) to which the droplet is ejected on grid data, based on impact diameter when the droplet is ejected and length of grid regions.

  • Publication number: 20200163217
    Abstract: In a circuit forming device, resin laminated body is formed by curing an ultraviolet curable resin ejected by an ejecting device. Then, ultraviolet curable resin is ejected into cavity of the resin laminated body, and electronic component is placed on ultraviolet curable resin. Then, electronic component is cured and electronic component is fixed. In addition, since the ultraviolet curable resin is cured by only irradiating the ultraviolet curable resin with ultraviolet rays, it is possible to reduce the time required for fixing the component. In addition, by causing the ejection amount of the ultraviolet curable resin for fixing the component to correspond with at least one of the size and the weight of the electronic component, it is possible to properly mount the component at a planned mounting position by a self-alignment effect.

  • Patent number: 10530223
    Abstract: With respect to servo amplifiers attached to a component mounter, a motor unit of at of a drive mechanism assembled on a mounting head is attached to be exchangeable. A control device of the component mounter switches the servo amplifier from a servo on state to a servo off state before exchange of the motor unit, maintains servo amplifier system power in an on state, initializes an encoder of the motor unit connected to the servo amplifier after the motor unit has been exchanged, and returns the servo amplifier to a servo on state. By this, the servo motor of the exchange motor unit achieves a state in which feedback control can be performed based on detection information of the encoder, and operation of the exchanged motor unit can be started.
