A component mounting system including: a component mounting device group in which a plurality of component mounting devices that mount components supplied to a board transported in from an upstream side by a tape feeder and transport out the board to a downstream side, and cut a carrier tape after supplying the components by a cutter device and discharge scraps of carrier tape, are installed on a floor surface while being arranged in a direction of conveying the board; a main conveyor that is installed along an arrangement direction of the plurality of component mounting devices in a region on the floor surface under the component mounting device group, and transports the scraps of carrier tape discharged from each of the plurality of component mounting devices; and a scraps storage that is installed outside the region and stores the scraps of carrier tape transported by the main conveyor.

Component mounting system and tape scraps collecting device

There is provided a component mounting system including: a component mounting device group in which a plurality of component mounting devices that mount components supplied to a board transported in from an upstream side by a tape feeder and transport out the board to a downstream side, and cut a carrier tape after supplying the components by a cutter device and discharge scraps of carrier tape, are installed on a floor surface while being arranged in a direction of conveying the board; a main conveyor that is installed along an arrangement direction of the plurality of component mounting devices in a region on the floor surface under the component mounting device group, and transports the scraps of carrier tape discharged from each of the plurality of component mounting devices; and a scraps storage that is installed outside the region and stores the scraps of carrier tape transported by the main conveyor.

An antenna device and a communication device capable of changing over polarization characteristics of an antenna to improve transmission capacity in various kinds of polarization environments and used configuration by preventing reduction of the communication capacity for a reception signal degrading or varying depending on momentarily changing polarization conditions between a base station and a terminal. The antenna device () includes a plurality of first antenna elements () for a first polarizing direction, a second antenna element () provided in the direction orthogonal to the first polarizing direction, a plurality of switches () for switching connection between the plurality of first antenna elements () and the second antenna element (), and power supply parts () respectively provided on the plurality of first antenna elements ().

Antenna device and communication device

A method for controlling a reproduction device which reproduces data held in a USB device connected to a USB terminal is provided. The method includes: detecting that the USB device is connected to the USB terminal; transmitting a call to the USB device, if the connection of the USB device is detected; detecting, during a first waiting time, a response from the USB device to the call transmitted to the USB device; detecting, during a second waiting time, different from the first waiting time, a response from the USB device to the call transmitted to the USB device, if the response from the USB device is not detected during the first waiting time; and reproducing the data held in the USB device, if the response from the USB device is detected during the first waiting time or during the second waiting time.

Semiconductor device, reproduction device, and method for controlling the same

A cassette control device by which high-speed processing can be expected even by using an arithmetical unit with current processing capability, even when the number of cassettes increases simultaneously with an increase in the number of nozzles which can suck electronic parts. There is provided storage unit () having storage regions in which programs for respective operation patterns of the cassettes (-to-M) are set for each of the nozzles. An arithmetic unit () extracts a specific program required for driving in a specific operation pattern based on a command () inputted according to the content of packaging, from a specific region which is provided in the storage unit () to correspond to a specific nozzle to be used, and the arithmetic unit () operates the specific cassette using the specific program.
