A component mounting apparatus and method for mounting components on to-be-mounted positions of works, includes a carrying device for continuously and successively carrying the works in a working area, and a first component-mounting device for picking up one component from component supply units in a first component supply section and mounting the picked-up component on the to-be-mounted position of one of the works being continuously and successively carried in the work area.

Component mounting apparatus and method

An assembly line includes a printing device for printing solder on a land of a circuit board, a mounting device for mounting an electric component at a predetermined position of the solder, and a soldering device for soldering the land to a terminal of the component. A monitored items detecting device detects predetermined to be monitored items of the board and equipment used in the printing, mounting, or soldering devices, and a control device analyzes a condition of the equipment and quality of the board with reference to warning criterion which do not exceed failure criterion, and then dynamically controls the various devices accordingly.

Producing system of printed circuit board and method therefor

An attitude detecting arrangement for detecting the attitude of objects such as electronic chip parts and the like, which includes a sensor section having sensors capable of detecting lengths in a horizontal direction and a vertical direction so as to detect the thickness and the length of the object when a portion of light is intercepted by the object held by a suction nozzle, a comparing value memory section in which preliminarily obtained data corresponding to the thickness and length of the object to be detected are stored, and an operation processing section for detecting the attitude of the object to be detected by comparing the data obtained by the sensors with the preliminarily obtained data corresponding the thickness and length of the object.

Attitude detecting arrangement for detecting the length and thickness of

A memory device is provided for measuring the displacements of a table movable in two directions mutually perpendicular to each other and storing the displacements. In case of the measurement of table positioning data, the data measurement may be made without stopping a part insertion machine and keeping the continuous operation of the machine. Conditions under which positioning of part insertion apertures is made are judged from the enlarged insertion apertures displayed on a television monitor so that better workability may be attained, an operator feels no fatigue and correct positioning may be accomplished, whereby a numerical control tape having correct positioning information recorded thereon may be prepared.
