  • Patent number: 11229148
    Abstract: A component mounting machine that performs mounting of components by moving a mounting head attached to slide using linear motor, stator of the linear motor that is forms of magnets arranged side by side is arranged on base, movable element is fixed to a slide so as to pass through the stator, and bracket for holding a portion of wires for supplying power to the linear motor and wire protector is fixed to the movable element. Since the bracket is located at a position close to the axis line of the movable element, the rotational moment acting on the slide due to the deformation resistance of the wires and the wire protector caused by the movement of the slide is reduced, and appropriate movement of the slide is ensured.

  • Patent number: 10798861
    Abstract: A mounter capable of curtailing interference between a mounting head that has a component holding section, and an exchange-use component holding section and a storage section that holds the exchange-use component holding section. A controller of the mounter reads head identification information for identifying the mounting head from the mounting head. Also, different quantities of protruding sections are formed on nozzle tray in accordance with the height in the Z-axis direction. Also, pressure switches that are pressed by protruding sections so as to turn on and off are provided on loading plate on which nozzle tray is loaded. By this, the controller is able to determine whether interference will occur between the mounting head and nozzle tray based on the detection signal of the pressure switches before the mounting head is moved.

  • Patent number: 9860995
    Abstract: A solder supply system that judges whether a solder cup is set on a solder supply device. In a case in which it is judged that the solder cup is set on the solder supply device, reading a barcode by a barcode reader is allowed. In contrast, in a case in which it is judged that the solder cup is not set on the solder supply device, reading a barcode by the barcode reader is restricted. That is, reading a barcode by the barcode reader before the solder cup is set inside an outer tube is restricted, while reading a barcode by the barcode reader is allowed when the solder container is set inside the outer tube.
