  • Publication number: 20230046371
    Abstract: Transfer material supply units for supplying a transfer material to a transfer table and spreading the transfer material is set in a component mounting machine, and transfer pins for transferring the transfer material to a mounting surface of a three-dimensional board are held by at least one mounting head of the component mounting machine to be exchangeable with a suction nozzle for picking up a circuit component. The lower end of the transfer pin is immersed in the transfer material on the transfer table to attach the transfer material to the lower end of the transfer pin by moving the mounting head holding the transfer pin to a position above the transfer table to lower and raise the transfer pin, and then the transfer material attached to the lower end of the transfer pin is transferred to the mounting surface.

  • Patent number: 11116119
    Abstract: A conveyance device used in a mounting system including a mounting-related device for applying a viscous liquid to and/or arranging a member on a processing target. This conveyance device uses a pallet having a pallet-side attachment section that holds a processing target. In addition, the conveyance device includes having a robot-side attachment section arranged at a distal end section of the conveyance robot for mounting the pallet-side attachment section and the conveyance robot is configured to convey the pallet in a mounted state between a loading position and a discharge position.

  • Patent number: 11032957
    Abstract: A loose component supply device including: component support member 150 configured to support multiple components in a scattered state; component collection container 180 configured to collect the components supported on the component support member via an opening in the component collection container; and a container oscillating device configured to scatter the components collected inside the component collection container onto the component support surface by swinging the component collection container such that the opening of the collection container faces the component support member. By this, because components are scattered on the component support member directly form the component collection container, the cycle time is shortened, thereby improving practicality of a component supply device.

  • Patent number: 8885038
    Abstract: Provided is an apparatus and a method thereof which can detect a displacement amount of a cutting tool with respect to a workpiece with high accuracy and can correct a processing position with high accuracy. Accordingly, a turret gauge 46 is comprised of an invar body 47 and a gauge main body 48 with a different thermal expansion coefficient. A point A of the gauge main body 48 and a leading edge 47A of the invar body are imaged in a state of viewing the whole thereof at a time of an initialization and a calibration cycle (CS), and a temperature of the gauge main body 48 is detected by comparing each image data. Furthermore, the length between the point A and a point B of the gauge main body 48 at the time of the CS is obtained based on the image data. The actual length is compared with a theoretical length between the point A and the point B at a temperature of the gauge main body 48 at the time of the CS, and consideration is given to the comparison.
