Patent number: 7331103Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: December 11, 2001Date of Patent: February 19, 2008Assignee: Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd.Inventors: Nobuyuki Kakita, Kazunori Kanai, Osamu Okuda, Akira Kabeshita

Patent number: 7003872Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: February 6, 2003Date of Patent: February 28, 2006Assignee: Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd.Inventors: Naoto Mimura, Izumi Miura, Hirofumi Obara, Hiroshi Uchiyama, Nobuyuki Kakita, Kazunori Kanai, Osamu Okuda, Akira Kabeshita

Patent number: 6948232Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 2000Date of Patent: September 27, 2005Assignee: Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd.Inventors: Takashi Yazawa, Hiroshi Uchiyama, Atsushi Tanabe, Yoichi Tanaka, Takahiro Kurokawa, Naoto Mimura, Nobuyuki Kakita, Osamu Okuda
