  • Patent number: 11122721
    Abstract: A loose component supply device in which components scattered on stage are imaged by camera. Because the viewing angle of the camera is ?>0, a side surface of the component is imaged. Based on the image data of the component, an index value specifying a size of the side surface of the component is calculated. Then, in a case in which the calculated index value matches a set value, it is determined that it is possible to hold the component. In other words, in a case in which there is a certain distance between multiple components, from imaging a side surface of the component, if an index value that specifies the size of the side surface of the component matches the set value, it is determined that it is possible to hold the component.

  • Patent number: 11105777
    Abstract: This ultrasonic inspection device, for inspecting a packaged semiconductor device, is provided with: an ultrasonic transducer which outputs ultrasonic waves to a semiconductor device; a receiver (a reflection detection unit) which detects reflected waves of the ultrasonic waves reflected on the semiconductor device; a stage which moves the positions of the semiconductor device relative to the ultrasonic transducer; a stage control unit which controls driving of the stage; and an analysis unit which analyzes the reaction of the semiconductor device to the input of the ultrasonic waves from the ultrasonic transducer. The stage control unit controls the distance between the semiconductor device and the ultrasonic transducer on the basis of a peak occurring in time waveform of the reflected wave detected by the receiver.

  • Patent number: 11032958
    Abstract: A component supply device including a component storage device that stores a plurality of components, a component support member on which the components from the component storage device are dispersed, and a component return device that returns the components on the component support member to the component storage device, is provided. In a case where the necessary number of components exceeds the number of holdable components, return work of the components to the component container and dispersal work of the components to the component support section are carried out prior to holding the components from the component support section by the component holding tool.

  • 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.

  • Publication number: 20210153396
    Abstract: A component supply device including: a stage configured such that components can be scattered on the stage; a slide device configured to slide the stage; a contacting section configured to contact the component scattered on the stage in accordance with sliding of the stage by the slide device; and a control device configured to control operation of the slide device, wherein the control device includes a determining section configured to determine whether the stage has been slid to a set position when the stage is slid towards the contacting section, and an operation control section configured to control operation of the slide device so as to, in a case in which it is determined by the determining section that the stage has not been slid to the set position, after sliding the stage in a direction away from the contacting section, once again slide the stage towards the contacting section.

  • Patent number: 10969761
    Abstract: If the moving direction of a suction nozzle during raising and lowering deviates from a vertical direction, appropriate work cannot be guaranteed because the holding position of a component by the suction nozzle will vary depending on the holding height of the component by the suction nozzle. Thus, a component loaded at a specified height (H) position from the upper surface of a stage is held by a suction nozzle, and that component is loaded at a specified position. Then, the component is imaged and the loading position (first height component loading position) of the component is calculated. Further, the component loaded on the stage is held by the suction nozzle and the component is loaded at the above specified position. Then, the component is imaged and the component loading position (second height component loading position) is calculated. Next, the deviation amount between the first height component loading position and the second height component loading position is calculated.

  • Patent number: 10874038
    Abstract: A component supply device that images stage on which multiple leaded components are supported in a scattered state, and holds a component supported on the stage using a component holding tool based on the image data, wherein multiple stages of different colors are prepared, and a stage from among the multiple stages a stage with a color different to a component that is planned to be supplied is removably attached to component support member. By this, for example, in a case in which a component planned to be supplied is white, by attaching a black stage to the component support section, due to the contrast between the background and the target object, it is possible to clearly recognize the white component supported on the black stage.
