Patent number: 11606891Abstract: A component supply device including a main body provided with an introducing region into which a component supply tape holding components is introduced and configured to supply the components by sending the component supply tape introduced into the main body via the introducing region in a longitudinal direction of the component supply tape. The device comprises a tape supporter insertable into the introducing region while supporting the component supply tape, and a clamping mechanism configured to sandwich and hold at least a part of a supported part of the component supply tape supported by the tape supporter with respect to the tape supporter. The component supply tape is introduced into the main body by inserting the tape supporter into the introducing region with the component supply tape held by the clamping mechanism.Type: GrantFiled: February 6, 2017Date of Patent: March 14, 2023Assignee: YAMAHA HATSUDOKI KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Tomoharu Kurayama, Tomokazu Ohnuki, Hiroko Kakiuchi

Patent number: 11382249Abstract: A component supply device comprises: a main body including a tape path which guides a component supply tape being sent in a longitudinal direction to a component supply position, and an introducing region which communicates with the tape path on a side opposite to the supply position in the longitudinal direction and introduces the supply tape into the tape path; and a tape position switching mechanism which switches the position of the supply tape in a vertical direction with respect to the tape path on the side opposite to the supply position. The tape position switching mechanism includes a supporter movable between a supporting position for supporting the supply tape from below and a non-supporting position separated from the supporting position in a width direction of the supply tape. The supporter releases the supply tape to move the supply tape downward from the supporting position to the non-supporting position.Type: GrantFiled: February 6, 2017Date of Patent: July 5, 2022Assignee: YAMAHA HATSUDOKI KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Tomoharu Kurayama, Tomokazu Ohnuki, Hiroko Kakiuchi

Patent number: 9326434Abstract: A parts feeding device which is equipped in a surface mounting machine body includes a drive unit for feeding a parts feeding tape which houses parts, and a control unit for controlling the drive unit. The control unit includes a detection unit for detecting execution of work for removing the parts feeding device from the surface mounting machine body, and a pullback execution unit for causing the drive unit to execute a process of pulling back the parts feeding tape, which has become empty as a result of feeding the parts, when the execution of work for removing the parts feeding device is detected by the detection unit.Type: GrantFiled: March 13, 2013Date of Patent: April 26, 2016Assignee: Yamaha Hatsudoki Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Akinobu Uesugi, Naoki Hanamura, Kenichi Indo, Toshimichi Satou, Toshiyuki Kusunoki, Tomoharu Kurayama
