Abstract
A melting tool control apparatus comprises a drive mechanism, a melt processing assembly configured to perform a melt process, a receiving module that receives input of three-dimensional coordinate information of a first point where the melt process is to be performed and input of a position information indicating a position different from the first point, and a process control module configured to control the melt processing assembly to perform the melt process when the distal end is at the first point.
Claims15
A melting tool control apparatus comprising:
- a drive mechanism configured to move a distal end of a heating tool;
- a melt processing assembly configured to perform a melt process forming a solder point at a point on a substrate using the distal end;
- a receiving module that receives input of a position of the solder point, the solder point comprising three-dimensional coordinate information of a first point where the melt process is to be performed, and input of a position information indicating a position above a surface of the substrate which is different from the first point;
- and
- a process control module configured to control the melt processing assembly to perform the melt process when the distal end is at the first point,
- wherein the drive mechanism is configured to move the distal end between the position indicated by the position information and the first point.

- a process control module configured to control the melt processing assembly to perform the melt process when the distal end is at the first point;
- and
- a process selection module that receives a selection between a first process mode in which a solder point is formed at a certain point on a substrate and a second process mode in which a line segment of solder is drawn on a substrate,
- wherein the drive mechanism is configured to move the distal end between the position indicated by the position information and the first point,
- wherein the position information is three-dimensional coordinate information of a second point that is different from the three-dimensional coordinate information of the first point,
- wherein when the process selection module receives the selection of the first process mode, the receiving module receives the first point as an end point to which the distal end is moved and where a solder point is formed, and receives the second point as a start point to which the distal end is moved, and
- when the process selection module receives the selection of the second process mode, the receiving module receives the first point as a start point to which the distal end is moved and where drawing of the line segment is started, and receives the second point as an end point to which the distal end is moved and where drawing of the line segment is ended.
