A problem that the present invention is to solve is to provide a parts mounting related work device which can prevent the occurrence of an unexpected operation failure and an erroneous stopping of the whole system which are attributed to an error in combination of working head and working equipment. A storage part () stores combinations of types of working heads (H) and types of working equipment (E) which correspond to contents of work that is performed on a board (PB), and a determination part () determines whether or not the combination of the type of the working head (H) which is currently detected by a head type detector and the type of the working equipment which is currently detected by an equipment type detector coincides with any of combinations stored in the storage part (). An action restriction part () restricts a moving action of a moving stage () by an action control part () in case the determination part () determines that the combination of the type of the working head (H) which is currently attached to the moving stage () and the type of the working equipment which is currently mounted in a base platform () coincides with non of the combinations stored in the storage part ().

Parts mounting related work device

In an electronic component mounting apparatus that is used in an electronic component mounting line for producing a mounted substrate by mounting electronic components on a substrate and that subjects the substrate to predetermined operation, a working unit attachment sectionis provided within a range of movement of a working head, such as a loading head and a paste coating head, wherein a nozzle stockerand a paste trial coating unitcan be removably attached as a working unit for performing specific additional operation appropriate for working function of the working head. The nozzle stokerand the paste trial coating unitare attached to the working unit attachment sectionaccording to the type of working head.

Electronic component mounting apparatus

There is provided a paste application device which can solve problems of an increased exclusively occupied space attributed to an arrangement of a syringe and of deterioration of a tube. In a paste application unit(a paste application device) for applying a pastestored in a syringeto an application target material, a configuration is adopted in which a pump mechanismfor sending the pasteunder pressure is formed by causing a discharge thread portionprovided at a lower portion of a rotary memberto rotate about an axis AX within a discharge spaceprovided in a casing portion, in which a discharge port, which communicates with the discharge space, is provided at an end portion of the casing portion, and in which the syringeis disposed coaxially with the rotary memberfor detachable connection thereto. By adopting this configuration, the problems can be solved of the increased exclusively occupied space that would occur when the syringeis disposed in parallel to the pump mechanismand of deterioration of the tube.

Paste application device

Movable clawsare formed in clampersholding a substrateso that the movable claws can be selectively moved to a position where they have projected above the substrate, and to a position where they have retreated from above the substrate. Thereby, the safety of operation is ensured by causing the movable clawsto retreat during maintenance. Moreover, printing with high precision can be performed in a state where the surface of the substrateand the rear face of the maskare brought into surface contact with each other without any clearance by causing the movable clawsto retreat.

Screen printing method and apparatus including clampers for substrate

In a flux transfer unit to be used in an electronic component mounting apparatus for transferring flux to an electronic component picked up from a component feed unit and then mounting the electronic component onto a board, a blade holding head which has a first blade and a second blade for film formation use and scraping use of flux, respectively, and which is reciprocatively driven by a rodless cylinder via a drive transmission pin, is held by a movable member so as to be swingable about a swing support pin, and the movable member is braked with a specified braking force by a plate spring member. Thus, each time the direction of motion of the blade is reversed, the blade holding head swings, so that the first blade and the second blade can be automatically switched over without providing any exclusive drive mechanism.
