In the installation operation, the first robot arm installs the CPU in the slot retained by the second robot arm.
Claims8
An electronic component installation device comprising:
- a first robot arm configured to perform an installation operation of an electronic component in a socket through a slot, the socket being disposed on a board, and the slot being coupled to the board to be rotatable about a predetermined axis;
- a retainer that retains the slot at a predetermined rotation position relative to the board;
- and
- a controller that controls the first robot arm, wherein the controller causes the first robot arm to perform the installation operation of installing the electronic component in the slot retained by the retainer at the predetermined rotation position.
An electronic component installation method for installing an electronic component in a socket through a slot, the socket being disposed on a board, the slot being coupled to the board to be rotatable about a predetermined axis, the electronic component installation method comprising the steps of:
- retaining the slot at a predetermined rotation position relative to the board by a retainer of an electronic component installation device;
- and
- installing the electronic component by a first robot arm of the electronic component installation device in the slot retained by the retainer at the predetermined rotation position relative to the board.
