  • Board positioning method
    Patent number: 7591068
    Abstract: A mounter including at least two mounting stages 109 and 110 where components are mounted onto boards transported from the upstream side in transportation direction of the board 120 and then transport the boards to the downstream side, and the mounter includes a first stopping unit 135 for stopping the board to place a board edge on the downstream side on a first fixed position which is in the downstream side from a first mountable area A, the first mountable area A being a mountable region where the components can be mounted on the first mounting stage 109 on the upstream side, and a second stopping unit 136 for stopping the board to place a board edge on the upstream side on a second fixed position which is the upstream side from a second mountable area A, the second mountable area A being a mountable region where the components can be mounted on the second mounting stage 110.

  • Method and system of distributing teaching data for image processing apparatus
    Publication number: 20030131056
    Abstract: Based on the result of a teaching operation for recognizing and examining a subject component in an image processing apparatus, there is created teaching data containing data specific to an image processing apparatus that executed the teaching operation, and the teaching data is electronically distributed to image processing apparatus other than the image processing apparatus that executed teaching to enable use of the teaching data for image-processing in other image processing apparatus.
