  • Patent number: 9983421
    Abstract: A component mounting line includes a first and a second component mounting devices. The first component mounting device adheres anisotropic conductive members to a region of a part of one side and a region of the other side of the substrate, temporarily crimps electronic components onto the region of the part of the one side and the region of the other side to which the anisotropic conductive members are adhered, and mainly crimps the electronic components onto the region of the other side. The second component mounting device adheres the anisotropic conductive members to remaining regions of the one side of the substrate, temporarily crimps the electronic components onto the remaining regions of the one side to which the anisotropic conductive members are adhered, and mainly crimps the electronic components onto the region of the part of the one side and the remaining regions of the one side.

  • Patent number: 7331103
    Abstract: A magazine is provided with two opening portions that enable insertion and extraction of a tray and are approximately orthogonal to each other, and a regulation portion for regulating insertion and extraction of the tray from the opening portions. A tray component feeding device has a loading port for loading the magazine thereinto, and an extraction port for extracting a tray plate of the magazine, which are approximately orthogonal to each other. Further, a component mounting device is provided with the tray component feeding device loaded with the magazine on a lateral side of the component mounting device to which a transfer conveyor for transferring a circuit board extends.

  • Patent number: 7003872
    Abstract: An apparatus and a method for mounting electronic components are provided which shorten a cycle time required for mounting and enable a component mounting machine to be arranged in a small area. There is provided a controller, so that a retreat control for a second electronic component is performed to a second component feeder so as to avoid an interference if a first electronic component or a component holder interferes with the second electronic component of the second component feeder because of movement of a mounting head. The time conventionally required for moving up and down a component holder can be reduced, and moreover the need of uselessly moving along a detour at a time of moving the mounting head is eliminated. The cycle time can be shortened, and eventually costs can be reduced.

  • Patent number: 6948232
    Abstract: Disclosed are a component recognizing method and apparatus, and a component mounting method and apparatus, by which components with various heights held by a plurality of nozzles can be recognized continuously. The drive of a head is transmitted to nozzles, with surfaces to be recognized of components being controlled so as to be positioned in a recognizable range during respective recognizing operations of the components, and a continuous recognition is thereby made possible. The adjustment of heights of the surfaces to be recognized during the recognizing operations of the components is achieved by one drive unit and a plurality of drive transmitting units.
