Title: Akira Hara: Innovator in Tape Feeding Technology

Introduction

Akira Hara is a notable inventor based in Toyohashi, Japan. He has made significant contributions to the field of tape feeding technology, holding a total of eight patents. His innovative designs have enhanced the efficiency and functionality of component mounting machines.

Latest Patents

One of Hara's latest patents is a tape feeder that includes an angle sensor. This sensor detects the final angle of the sprocket when power supply interruption occurs and the current angle when power is resumed. The control device then sets a target angle based on the final angle and controls the sprocket's rotation to convey the carrier tape to a predetermined position. Another significant patent is for a feeder and component mounting machine. This invention features a sprocket that feeds a tape containing multiple components, a motor for rotation, and a storage section that records the initial rotational position of the sprocket. The control section ensures that the motor rotates the sprocket in a forward direction based on the required feeding amount while preventing excessive reverse rotation during tape rewinding.
