Provided is a printing device prints a transfer material onto a substrate via a mask. The printing device includes a placement portion, a moving portion, a cleaning unit, and a control unit. The placement portion is where the mask is movably placed. The moving portion moves the mask placed on the placement portion. The cleaning unit removes the transfer material remaining on the back side of the mask. The control unit controls the moving portion. Upon maintenance of the cleaning unit, the control unit controls the moving portion to move the mask placed on the placement portion to a retract position.

Printing device and printing method

A screen printing apparatus includes: a barrier member which butts against a screen mask and a squeegee to prevent paste on the screen mask from escaping to an outside of a printing width of the board; and an urging mechanism which urges the barrier member toward the screen mask. The urging mechanism includes: a first magnetic member held by the squeegee head such that a first pole surface having a first magnetic pole is directed toward the barrier member; and a second magnetic member held by the barrier member such that a second pole surface having a second magnetic pole opposite to the first magnetic pole is directed toward the first magnetic member, whereby the urging mechanism urges the barrier member by an attracting magnetic force acting between the first pole surface and the second pole surface.

Screen printing apparatus

There are provided an operating knobcapable of movement operation in a front-back direction with respect to a right and left side support part, a rod memberwhose front end is joined to the operating knob, a back edge stopperwhich is moved in the front-back direction through the rod memberand also is abutted on the back edge of the maskby fixing operation of the rod memberby the operating knob, and a front edge stopperabutted on the front edge of the mask

Mask holder

A part feeding device capable of preventing the adhesive surface of a top tape from being exposed even if a pleat line is displaced and easily and collectively removing the top tape collected by winding on a reel body and a part feeding method, the device comprising a top tape transfer part () having raising rollers () raising the top tape () a specified amount by generally 90&#xb0; with the adhesive surfaces thereof at both ends facing inside, a folding rollers () folding the raised top tape by falling on the unraised top tape, and a tape delivery part () feeding the folded top tape at a specified pitch, wherein the reel body collecting the peeled top tape can collectively push out the group of the wound top tape in the axial direction.

Part feeding device and part feeding method

In an electronic component feeding apparatus for feeding components with use of a taping component, a brushless motor is used as a drive motor in a tape sending mechanism that transports the taping component so as to improve productivity in an electronic component mounting apparatus equipped with the electronic component feeding apparatus. Also, an electronic component feeding apparatus is provided with a control part that automatically executes initial processing such as sending of the taping component, as well as detects and reports a sending failure of the taping component when the electronic component feeding apparatus is installed in the electronic component mounting apparatus, which makes it possible to provide an electronic component feeding apparatus enabling easy and prompt detection of the sending failure of the taping component.

Electronic part feeder

A rotary device has thereinside a driving device as a driving source for rotating a rotary block and opening and closing a shutter, and also includes a rod for transmitting a driving force to the rotary block and the shutter, a lever and a shaft for directly transmitting the driving force to the shutter, a spring for delaying a timing to open the shutter after the rotary block rises, a spring receiver for receiving the spring, and a joint for connecting the rod with the rotary block.

Component feeding method and apparatus

In an electronic component feeding device which comprises a component carrier tape wound around a reel, on which electronic components are accommodated in cavities formed on a support tape whose surface is covered by a removable top tape, a reel guide is pivotally mounted, which has a U-shaped cross section that resembles a hook, an open end of the hooked part being formed at a fixed angle &thgr;, and which holds the reel when engaged with an outer peripheral edge of the reel.

Electronic component feeding device

In an electronic component supply device electronic components are accommodated within cavities formed in a carrier tape of which surface is covered with a top tape. A peeling portion for peeling off the top tape from the carrier tape includes a peel-away cutout portion cut into a tape transfer direction. A thin plate has an angled portion having a rounded portion. A concavity, in which the thin plate operates, is formed in the tape pressing member downstream of the peel-away cutout portion in the tape transfer direction.

Electronic component supply device

A receiving reel,comprises a receiving ratchet,and a detachable receiving cap,that is set in the receiving ratchet,and on which a covering tape,is wound, and is provided with contact members,and,that are provided on the area of engagement of the receiving cap,and the receiving ratchet,. The contact members make contact in the direction of rotation and prevent the receiving cap,from coming loose. Mutually contacting concave and convex members,and,are provided on the contact surfaces along the direction of rotation of the contact members,and,to make it simple to detach the receiving cap,and to prevent it from coming loose and falling off.
