A reel for a component mounting apparatus that pulls a carrier tape out of the reel and pitch-feeds and supplies the carrier tape by a tape feeder in a component supply part and picks up a supplied component and mounts the component in a substrate by a mounting head. The reel includes: a reel core part; and the carrier tape being wound and stored around the reel core part, wherein the carrier tape includes a distal end fixed to the reel core part, and a brittle part that is positioned in the vicinity of the distal end and is broken by action of longitudinal tension in excess of a prescribed strength on the carrier tape, and the pitch-feed separates the carrier tape from the reel core part at the brittle part.

Reel for component mounting apparatus and component supplying method in component mounting apparatus

A component mounting apparatus includes one head unit which has a component holding member capable of holding a component and which is selected from among a plurality of types of head units according to a type of the fed component, a head moving unit which has a head fitting portion onto which the selected one head unit is removably loaded and which moves the head unit loaded on the head fitting portion in a direction extending generally along a surface of the board, and a head control unit which is provided for each of the head units and which performs control for component mounting operation by a head unit corresponding to the loaded head unit.

Component mounting apparatus

In component mounting for executing a component feed operation and component holding and pickup operation, a recipe for the component holding and pickup operation that is an operational program for executing the component holding and pickup operation is received in a head unit, and the component holding and pickup operation is executed on the basis of the recipe. In addition, a timing signal based on this execution is transmitted from the head unit to a component feed unit, a recipe for the component feed operation for executing the component feed operation is received in the component feed unit, and the component feed operation is completed on the basis of this recipe and the timing signal transmitted from the head unit.

Component mounting apparatus and component mounting method

In the sequence program (ladder circuit), in order to give a common address between contacts of the ladder circuit longitudinally and store states before and after the processing of the contact in the ladder circuit, two types of memories corresponding to addresses at the both ends of the contact are provided and a compiler for classifying the processing into the five types and a sequence execution unit for processing a machine language of the compiler are further provided so that execution can be made even if an output instruction is provided in an intermediate portion of the ladder circuit.
