  • Publication number: 20190223335
    Abstract: Multiple types of leaded components are scattered on component support member, and those multiple types of components are imaged by an imaging device. Identification information for identifying each type of the multiple types of components, and position information representing the position of the components on the component support section, is acquired from image data captured by the imaging device. Then, based on the identification information and the position information, any of the multiple types of components on the component support member are held by a holding tool. By this, it is possible to pick up any of the multiple types of components scattered on the component support section and it is possible to supply many types of components using the component supply device. Also, there is no need for an operator to check components on the component support section, so the operator workload is reduced.

  • Publication number: 20180324988
    Abstract: A component mounter provided with a component holding tool that holds leaded component, and a moving device that moves the component holding tool to a given position, wherein leads of leaded component held by the component holding tool are contacted against the upper surface of circuit board, are moved in a state being elastically deformed, and are inserted into through-hole of circuit board. Thus, even in a case in which leads are contacted against the upper surface of circuit board without leads being directly inserted into through-holes, it is possible to insert leads into through-holes. Also, it is possible to prevent plastic deformation of leads by leads being pressed too much in a state contacting the upper surface of circuit board.

  • Publication number: 20180279522
    Abstract: A cut and clinch device that bends leads of a leaded component into at least one of an bent-in state, a bent-out state, or an N-bent state. The bent-in state is a state with a pair of leads bent inside by moving a pair of movable sections towards each other. The bent-out state is a state with a pair of leads bent outside by moving a pair of movable sections away from each other. The N-bent state is a state with a pair of leads bent into an N-shape by moving a pair of slide bodies towards each other, moving a pair of movable sections away from each other, and then rotating the pair of slide bodies around a center point. Thus, leads can be bent into various states, and a leaded component can be appropriately mounted on a board.

  • Publication number: 20180271002
    Abstract: In a component mounter, a cut and clinch unit is arranged below a circuit board that is conveyed by a conveyance device, and the cut and clinch unit can be moved to a given position by a moving device. When imaging a fiducial mark of the circuit board using an imaging device, the cut and clinch unit is moved such that an identification assistance sticker arranged on the cut and clinch unit is positioned as the background to the fiducial mark. The color of the circuit board surrounding the fiducial is white and the color of the identification assistance sticker is black. Thus, the outline of the fiducial mark is clear and the fiducial mark can be appropriately recognized based on the image data.

  • Publication number: 20180035581
    Abstract: A memory device memorizes a link between an orientation of a leaded component supported on a component support section and a type of component holding tool used for holding the leaded component of the orientation is memorized in a memory device. Also, the component support section on which multiple leaded components are scattered is imaged by an imaging device, and orientations of leaded components supported on the component support section are identified based on the captured image data. Then, the component holding tool of a type memorized as being linked to the identified orientation of leaded component is decided as the component holding tool for holding the leaded component. By this, it is possible to exchange a component holding tool according to an orientation of a leaded component, thus it is possible to hold leaded components of various orientations using component holding tools.
