Abstract: A chuck for holding a mounting component including: multiple claw units each having multiple claws configured to contact a section to be held of a component to be mounted on a board, the claw units being arranged at predetermined positions separated from each other; and a claw unit opening and closing mechanism configured to open and close each of the multiple claw units.

Abstract: Mounting apparatus executes a first mode of, at least when tray member is first moved to a collection position, capturing an image of fiducial marks and obtaining a correction value by which the collection position of component P is corrected based on the positions of fiducial marks in the captured image. Further, mounting apparatus executes a second mode of, when tray member is moved to the collection position, capturing an image of fiducial marks and obtaining a correction value by which the collection position of component P is corrected based on the positions of fiducial marks in the captured image, the correction value being obtained more frequently than in the first mode.

Abstract: A mounting device is provided with a mechanical chuck that picks up a component housed in a tray by gripping the component in a state with a cam follower contacting tray housing the component at a predetermined height. The mechanical chuck is provided with a first holding member including a first gripping member, and a second holding member including a second gripping member. The cam follower is a rotatable roller, and when the first holding member moves when picking up the component from tray, the cam follower rotates according to this movement in a state contacting tray.

Abstract: In a suction nozzle, a tip portion of an air pipe includes an opening portion having an area larger than that of a flow path of the air pipe, and a slit which is formed on the tip portion of the air pipe is provided in a portion of a circumferential contact surface contacting the component. In the suction nozzle, since air supplied from the air pipe flows out through the slit, the suction state of the component is canceled from the position of the slit as a base point.

Abstract: The present invention provides in an environmentally-friendly manner a coating material for fried and/or deep-fried food capable of yielding fried and/or deep-fried foods exhibiting a high level of adhesiveness and excellent texture with a good balance between crisp feel and soft feel. More specifically, according to the present invention, a coating material for fried and/or deep-fried food consisting in an oil/fat-treated starch is prepared by using a non-modified starch as a raw starch for the oil/fat-treated starch, wherein the raw starch contains 25% by mass or more of a legume starch and whose amylose content ranges between 10 and 60% by mass. A better adhesiveness is demonstrated when the resulting oil/fat-treated starch has a viscosity retention rate equal to or higher than 75%.
