Publication number: 20230077814Abstract: A tray is automatically mounted on a pallet. A tray handling device, which handles a tray collected from a component mounting device configured to mount a component held in a tray on a substrate, includes: a pallet collecting unit configured to take out a pallet on which the tray is mounted from a magazine collected from the component mounting device; and a tray unloading unit configured to unload the tray from the collected pallet.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 4, 2020Publication date: March 16, 2023Inventors: Nobuyuki KAKISHIMA, Yasuyuki ISHITANI, Hirofumi OBARA, Kazuo OHUCHI, Jun KAMIYAMAGUCHI, Takanori YOSHITAKE, Ryota INOUE

Patent number: 8196295Abstract: There is provided a control means for controlling movement positions and movement timings of a nozzle elevating means and a nozzle moving means. The control means stores positions and heights of obstacles located between a component supply unit and a circuit board in advance. The control means moves down a nozzle in sync with the time when the nozzle has finished passing over each obstacle after an electronic component has been photographed by a component camera. Alternatively, the control means moves the nozzle in a path to avoid the obstacles. In addition, in a component mounting region, the nozzle moves at a component mounting region movement height and the component is mounted by the nozzle moved down from the component mounting region movement height. Accordingly, it is possible to shorten an elevating stroke of the nozzle (5). In addition, the nozzle can be elevated in an arc trajectory.Type: GrantFiled: May 23, 2007Date of Patent: June 12, 2012Assignee: Panasonic CorporationInventors: Shigeki Imafuku, Takeyuki Kawase, Yoichi Tanaka, Osamu Okuda, Takanori Yoshitake, Toshiyuki Kino

Patent number: 8078310Abstract: A component crimping apparatus control method which enables a measuring tool to directly measure a temperature of a part pressed by a pressing head. The component crimping apparatus control method is applied to a component crimping apparatus which crimps a component onto a plate-shaped workpiece, and causes a measuring tool shaped identically as the workpiece to measure a temperature or a pressure of a pressed part in a pressing process of pressing a component onto the workpiece using a heated pressing head. The method includes acquiring information indicating whether or not the measuring tool is held in the component crimping apparatus, and, in the case where the information indicating that the measuring tool is held is acquired, positioning the measuring tool identically as the workpiece, and executing the pressing process on the component to be attached to the measuring tool after the positioning.Type: GrantFiled: September 25, 2007Date of Patent: December 13, 2011Assignee: Panasonic CorporationInventors: Tomotaka Nishimoto, Yasuhiro Okada, Chihiro Igarashi, Takanori Yoshitake, Nobuhisa Watanabe

Patent number: 7458147Abstract: The present invention provides a device and a method for determining whether or not a component holder is good, which enable detecting component holders that are to affect correct component recognition and further enable preventing interferences between constituent devices, a component mounting apparatus with the determining device, and a component mounting method. The determining device has an illuminating device, a CCD camera and a controller to determine whether or not a suction nozzle is good based on luminance at a component hold face of the suction nozzle. The suction nozzle having light reflectance of the component hold face increased to a level whereat a correct recognition of an electronic component held by the suction nozzle is affected, can be detected accordingly. An interference preventing device is also provided, so that interference between the CCD camera and the suction nozzle can be prevented.Type: GrantFiled: August 7, 2003Date of Patent: December 2, 2008Assignee: Panasonic CorporationInventors: Takeyuki Kawase, Toshiyuki Kino, Takanori Yoshitake, Kimiaki Sano, Yoshiyuki Hattori, Takashi Yazawa, Hiroshi Uchiyama, Youichi Tanaka, Shigeki Imafuku, Iwao Kanetaka, Tamaki Ogura

Patent number: 7337533Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a component mounting apparatus and a component mounting method in which a movement time of a nozzle can be shortened so that production efficiency can be improved. There is provided a control means for controlling movement positions and movement timings of a nozzle elevating means and a nozzle moving means. The control means stores positions and heights of obstacles located between a component supply unit and a circuit board in advance. The control means moves down a nozzle in sync with the time when the nozzle has finished passing over each obstacle after an electronic component has been photographed by a component camera. Alternatively, the control means moves the nozzle in a path to avoid the obstacles. In addition, in a component mounting region, the nozzle moves at a component mounting region movement height and the component is mounted by the nozzle moved down from the component mounting region movement height.Type: GrantFiled: April 12, 2004Date of Patent: March 4, 2008Assignee: Matsushita Electric Industrial Co.Inventors: Shigeki Imafuku, Takeyuki Kawase, Yoichi Tanaka, Osamu Okuda, Takanori Yoshitake, Toshiyuki Kino
