  • Publication number: 20220408622
    Abstract: A component mounting system includes multiple component mounting devices lined up in a board conveyance direction, with each component mounting device having an imaging device to capture an image of a board. The component mounting system includes a learning device, an inspection device, and a memory device. The learning device captures a post-component-mounting board image after component mounting, acquires training data based on the captured post-component-mounting board image, and creates learning data using machine learning based on the acquired training data. The inspection device captures a post-component-mounting board image, and performs an inspection of the post-component-mounting board under a first inspection condition or under a second inspection condition having inspection accuracy inferior to that of the first inspection condition by performing component recognition image processing on the captured post-component-mounting board image using the learning data.

    Abstract: An allowance setting system, a substrate inspection device, an allowance setting method, and a substrate inspection method that can set an appropriate inspection allowance are provided in which a normal mounting position of electronic component on a component mounting surface of substrate is defined as normal position. A deviation of an actual mounting position of electronic component in a surface direction of the component mounting surface with respect to the normal position is defined as surface direction deviation. A deviation of the actual mounting position of electronic component in a rotation direction within the component mounting surface with respect to normal position is defined as angular deviation. Allowance setting system sets multiple surface direction inspection allowances according to angular deviation for evaluating surface direction deviation in a substrate inspection before reflow.

  • Publication number: 20220261981
    Abstract: A board work system includes a moving device configured to move over an XY-plane, a lighting device attached to the moving device, a monochromatic camera attached to the moving device, and an image processing device. The image processing device selects one or multiple monochromatic lights based on a target object and, when the image processing device selects one monochromatic light, the image processing device causes the lighting device and the monochromatic camera to capture a monochromatic image of the target object which is illuminated with the one monochromatic light and sets the monochromatic image of the target object as a target object inspection image. When the image processing device selects multiple monochromatic lights, the image processing device captures monochromatic images of the target object illuminated with the monochromatic lights and sets a composite image where the monochromatic images are combined as a target object inspection image.

  • Patent number: 8699782
    Abstract: A component presence/absence judging apparatus judges the presence/absence of components through a registration step and an inspection step. The registration step includes an ante-mounting feature acquisition step, a post-mounting feature acquisition step and a classifier configuration step. At the ante-mounting and post-mounting feature acquisition steps, ante-mounting features and post-mounting features are respectively acquired from an ante-mounting image and a post-mounting image taken at each of predetermined places on an ante-mounting board and a post-mounting board. At the classifier configuration step, a classifier is configured by registering the ante-mounting features and the post-mounting features as training data to a support vector machine.
