A corresponding tool device, a corresponding supplementary tool device, and a component handling device constructed from these components.
Abstract:
In a component mounter, a gap between adjacent circular plate sections of nozzles is large enough such that a pressing roller is able to pass through in a vertical direction. Therefore, the size of a circular plate section can be made relatively small, and a rotary head can be made small. A horizontal protrusion overlaps with one or both of adjacent ring-shaped protrusions of the nozzle when viewed from above in a case in which the pressing roller is positioned between adjacent circular plate sections of nozzles. In a state with the pressing roller positioned above the gap between adjacent circular plate sections of nozzles, even if power to a Z-axis linear actuator is cut such that the raising and lowering member suddenly loses support and falls, the horizontal protrusion of the raising and lowering member engages with and stops the ring-shaped protrusion of the nozzle.
Abstract:
When a mounting head is moved upward of a rear side conveyor across and over a front side conveyor after a component suction operation, it is determined whether or not there is a possibility that a component sucked by a suction nozzle may interfere with a component mounted on a circuit board on the front side conveyor. When so determined, a head lifting mechanism is caused to lift up the mounting head to a position where the component sucked by the suction nozzle does not interfere with the mounted component. Thereafter, the mounting head is moved upward of the rear side conveyor, and the head lifting mechanism is caused to lower down the mounting head to an initial height position. Thereafter, the component is mounted on a circuit board on the rear side conveyor.
Abstract:
A chuck device is provided with multiple types of chuck claws clamping a component, a chuck claw switching mechanism switching the chuck claw in use among the multiple chuck claws based on the type of component to be clamped, and a driving mechanism causing the chuck claw subjected to the switching by a chuck claw switching mechanism perform a clamping operation. The chuck claw switching mechanism causes the respective chuck claws to move vertically independently of each other and performs switching of the chuck claw in use by a rotating cylindrical cam in a state where rotation of a tubular guide member placed on an outer peripheral side of a cylindrical cam is locked. A rotation locking member locking the rotation of the tubular guide member during switching of the chuck claw in use and a cam follower moving the rotation locking member are disposed in a mounting head.
Abstract:
A component mounting machine including a head having two right and left nozzle holders to which suction nozzles are detachably attached, and a nozzle station having multiple sockets for accommodating the suction nozzles. The multiple sockets are arrayed at the same interval as an interval of the right and left nozzle holders. The suction nozzles mounted on the right and left adjacent nozzle holders can be simultaneously returned to right and left empty sockets, and the suction nozzles accommodated in the right and left adjacent sockets can be simultaneously mounted on the right and left nozzle holders.
Abstract:
A system for mounting electronic components on a substrate includes component holders each configured to hold an electronic components to be mounted on the substrate. A revolving device is configured to revolve the component holders along a pre-determined path so that each one of the component holders is moveable into a component receiving location for receiving a respective electronic component and/or a component mounting location for mounting the respective electronic component on the substrate. An actuator is configured to actuate a respective component holder in the component receiving location and/or the component mounting location. A safety device is configured to determine whether the respective component holder to be actuated by the actuator is properly placed in an operative position on the revolving device. The safety device is arranged separately from the actuator and is spaced apart from the actuator along the pre-determined path.
Abstract:
An apparatus for picking and placing or for picking and transferring or for picking, placing and pressing semiconductor components (10) is disclosed. The apparatus (10) comprises a motor for generating power to rotate a turret (6) which holds a plurality of pick up heads (7), a plurality of pressers (8), wherein each of said pressers (8) is a voice coil assembly (3) which consist of voice coil actuator assemblies (31), at least one stationary frame (1, 2) to secure said voice coil assemblies (3) and a controller means to control the direction and magnitude of displacement of said voice coil actuator assemblies (31). When current flows into voice coil in said voice coil actuator assembly (31), electromagnetic force is generated in vertical direction, forcing said actuators to press said pick up heads (7) located directly below said actuators at a particular moment, which in turn reaches to and press on wafers or semiconductor components located below said pick up heads. The pressing force, speed and direction of each actuator can be controlled individually. Furthermore, this invention includes safety measures wherein a real time actuator position feedback system is used to confirm the displacement of said actuators and an urging device (35) is used to return the actuators back to their original position in the event of power outage.
Abstract:
A component mounter is provided with a single nozzle head and multiple nozzle heads which are automatically exchangeable, a pickup/mounting driving section that connects to a suction nozzle of a single nozzle head held on a head holding section and a selected suction nozzle of a multiple nozzle head held on the head holding section and that raises/lowers the internal pressure of the suction nozzle. The pickup/mounting driving device, when making the suction nozzle of the held single nozzle head mount a component, cuts off the suction nozzle from a negative pressure source and connects the suction nozzle to a positive pressure source and the atmosphere.
Abstract:
A component mounter which exchangeably holds rotary head in head holding unit is provided with Z-axis driving mechanism that engages lever engaging piece of the nozzle holder, which performs component pickup and mounting operations, among multiple nozzle holders held on rotary head, from above and below with pushing down roller and Z-axis lever in order to lower and raise the nozzle holder. The interval between lever engaging piece of first holder that performs component pickup and mounting operation first and lever engaging piece of last holder that performs component pickup and mounting operation last is set at a wide interval at which engagement with Z-axis lever is released, and the wide interval between lever engaging piece of first holder and lever engaging piece of last holder is used as a passage through which Z-axis lever passes in an up/down direction when rotary head is attached/removed to/from head holding unit.
