Abstract: When the operation of an electronic component conveying apparatus is to be stopped, application of a negative pressure to through holes is stopped, and a compressed air blowing mechanism blows compressed air from an exhaust nozzle with a pressure greater than a pressure applied during the operation of the electronic component conveying apparatus. Accordingly, an air curtain is generated at opening portions of the through holes on the guide member side, and the air curtain prevents electronic components from entering the through holes. The electronic components remaining in the through holes located Downstream of the position of the exhaust nozzle in a conveying direction are conveyed to a measurement section so as to enable measurement of the characteristics thereof, and then discharged by a discharging mechanism in a discharge section. Thereafter, rotation of a conveying member is stopped.

Abstract: An object of this invention is to enable to appropriately carry out deposition due to a design change of an object. This invention comprises the steps of: calculating a difference between three dimensional data representing a form of an object before a design change and three dimensional data representing a form of the object after the design change; and generating deposition data for a shortage portion in the form of the object before the design change by using the calculated difference data, when cutting the object to make the form after the design change. Thus, it is possible to correctly grasp information concerning the deposition necessary to machine the object to make the form after the design change, and to avoid waste of deposition material and cutting work after the deposition. Moreover, this invention may further comprise a step of calculating a region for one or a plurality of deposition layers based on an attribute of a deposition material.

Abstract: An object of this invention is to generate NC (Numerical Control) data to improve efficiency of machining. This invention comprises the steps of: generating NC data to machine a first portion of an object, wherein the first portion is specified based on a supposed cutting load distribution of the object; and generating NC data to machine the object after the first portion of the object was machined. Thus, at least two-phase machining data is generated which is separated based on high or low of the supposed cutting load, for example. That is, a tool machine processes the object stepwise. Therefore, it becomes possible that a portion is machined in advance, that it is determined that it is better to machine beforehand based on the supposed cutting load distribution, and the object after the machining is separately machined.
