Latest Patents
One of Takuya's latest inventions is an electronic component mounting apparatus. This invention prevents the reduction of a pickup rate even when a storage tape in use and a new storage tape are connected to each other with a connection tape. A component recognition camera captures an image of an electronic component held by a suction nozzle, while a recognition processing device performs the necessary recognition processing. If the positional shifting amount calculated by the CPU based on the recognition processing result exceeds a certain threshold, a board recognition camera takes an image of the storage portion of the storage tape that holds the next electronic component to be picked up. The CPU then enables seam passage processing based on the images taken and the recognition processing performed each time the storage tape is fed.
Another significant patent is related to a board positioning device and method. This invention eliminates the need for a stopper when positioning a printed board in the X direction. The servo motors of the board supplying conveyor and positioning portions are driven to start carrying the board. When a first board detection sensor detects the board before the timeout of a first timer, second and third timers begin timekeeping. The servo motor decelerates to an arbitrary speed and maintains a constant speed after the second timer times out. If a second board detection sensor detects the board before the third timer times out, the servo motor is controlled to decelerate and stop the board at a specified position. A board recognition camera then takes an image of the positioning mark to recognize the position of the printed board.
