  • Publication number: 20200390011
    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: 10334770
    Abstract: A component mounting machine includes a part camera in which a suction nozzle for sucking a component P and a fiducial mark are provided on a head, a sub-lens is installed in a visual field of a lens, the component is imaged through a main lens, and it is possible to image the fiducial mark through the lens and the sub-lens. Distortion correction values of the main lens portion are measured, distortion correction values of the sub-lens portion are measured, and the distortion correction values are stored in advance as a distortion correction table. During component mounting, when the component P which is sucked by the suction nozzle and the fiducial mark are imaged at the same time by the part camera, the obtained image is corrected using the distortion correction table, and a suction state of the component P is detected based on the corrected image.

  • Publication number: 20190029153
    Abstract: A mounting device sets a processing region for super-resolution processing based on an approximate position of a main body portion of a component included in a mark image for use in obtaining a position of a fiducial mark and then performs super-resolution processing. Thus, the processing region for super-resolution processing can be appropriately set and prevented from becoming larger than necessary with respect to the main body portion of the component. Further, the processing region for super-resolution processing is determined using the mark image captured under an imaging condition different from that for the component image for use in super-resolution processing. Thus, the processing region can be appropriately set while the component image is kept under an imaging condition suitable for super-resolution processing. Therefore, the processing region for performing super-resolution processing can be set more appropriately, and the super-resolution processing can be efficiently performed.

  • Publication number: 20180284732
    Abstract: A CPU of a management computer sets an nth component in a mounting operation order of the current sequence as a target component, calculates nearby state data of the target component, sets the required accuracy of the target component based on the nearby state data and memorizes the required accuracy of HDD. Because the required accuracy is automatically set based on the nearby state data in this manner, the set required accuracy matches actual circumstances better compared to than with conventional technology. Therefore, it is possible to automatically set appropriate required accuracy of a target component.

  • Patent number: 10070570
    Abstract: A mounting device that, during movement of a mounting head, captures a first image that includes components that are collected in the mounting head and first fiducial marks, captures a second image that includes the components that are collected in the mounting head and second fiducial marks, and generates an image of the components that are collected in the mounting head using the first image and the second image based on the positional relationship of the first fiducial marks and the second fiducial marks. At this time, the mounting device captures the first image after the components and the first fiducial marks enter the same imaging range prior to the second fiducial marks entering the imaging range, and after that, captures the second image after the first fiducial marks come out from the imaging range and the components and the second fiducial marks enter the same imaging range.

  • Publication number: 20180249609
    Abstract: A CPU of a management computer, when a work allocation processing routine is started, first, acquires a specified accuracy of each mounter, then acquires required accuracies of component types for components from a first to a last component to be mounted on a single board. Next, the CPU of the management computer performs allocation of mounting work of components from the first to the last component, and then ends the routine. Specifically, the CPU, for each component, allocates the mounting work of a given component to a mounter with a specified accuracy that satisfies the required accuracy for that component type.

  • Publication number: 20180192558
    Abstract: There is provided a component mounting machine in which when detecting a lowermost end position of a component sucked by a suction nozzle, a lower edge position of the component is detected at predetermined intervals from a left side and a right side using the lowermost end position as a reference. The component mounting machine derives an approximate straight line obtained by approximating multiple lower edge positions detected from the side having a larger detection number and the lowermost end position and an angle of the approximate straight line is detected as the suction angle of the component. Accordingly, the component mounting machine can appropriately detect the suction angle of the component with a simple process and correctly determine the suction posture of the component.
