Abstract
A parts mounting device for precisely positioning parts and discriminating whether such position is proper wherein a recognition member recognizes parts and mounting lands on a printed circuit board and such information is processed to achieve a properly mounted part.
Claims19
A parts mounting device comprising:
- a displaceable base;
- a parts-conveying head, mounted on the displaceable base, for picking up a mounting part from a mounting parts supply means and conveying said mounting part to a predetermined mounting position on a board having mounting lands to which the mounting part is to be mounted;
- recognition means, mounted on the displaceable base, for recognizing said mounting part and said mounting lands located in a focus plane, the parts-conveying head providing a standard reference position for the recognition within the focus plane;
- and
- means for discriminating a positional relationship between the mounting part and the mounting lands and for aligning the position of the mounting part relative to the mounting lands.
A parts mounting device for picking up a mounting part from a mounting parts supply means and for conveying the mounting part to a predetermined mounting position on a board having mounting lands to which the mounting part is to be mounted, the parts mounting device comprising:
- a parts-conveying head for placing the mounting part, the parts-conveying head having a first position and a second position;
- recognition means for recognizing the mounting part while the parts-conveying head is in the first position, and for recognizing the mounting lands while the parts-conveying head is in the second position and before the mounting part is mounted on the board, the recognition means having a single focusing plane corresponding to the first position;
- and
- means for discriminating a positional relationship between the mounting part and the mounting lands and for aligning the position of the mounting part relative to the mounting lands.
