Abstract
In a component insertion machine for inserting a component with a lead into a board, when the lead is cut by lead cutting device having a fixed blade 60 and a movable blade prior to insertion, the component is moved to a position where the lead approaches or contacts the fixed blade, at which position the movable blade is operated to cut the lead.
Claims5
A lead cutting method comprising:
- providing a lead cutting device including a plate with a through-hole, a fixed blade provided on an edge of the through hole, and a movable blade;
- holding a leaded component;
- calculating a moving distance of the leaded component from a first position in which the lead is separated from the fixed blade by a set distance to a second position in which the lead is near to or contacting the fixed blade;
- moving the held leaded component so as to move the leaded component so that the lead is inserted into the through-hole and then the lead is moved to the second position;
- and
- cutting a portion of the lead using the movable blade that faces the fixed blade.

A component insertion machine configured to insert a leaded component into holes provided in a board, the component insertion machine comprising:
- a component supply device configured to supply the leaded components;
- a component holding head configured to pick up and hold the leaded component from the component supply device;
- a head moving device configured to move the component holding head;
- a lead cutting device including a plate with a through-hole, a fixed blade provided on an edge of the through hole, and a movable blade, the lead cutting device configured to cut a portion of a lead of the leaded component using the movable blade that faces the fixed blade;
- and
- a control device configured to
- calculate a moving distance of the leaded component from a first position in which the lead is separated from the fixed blade by a set distance to a second position in which the lead is near to or contacting the fixed blade,
- control the head moving device to move the leaded component so that the lead is inserted into the through-hole and then the lead is moved to the second position, and
- control the movable blade to cut the lead.
