Abstract
An offset measuring board is formed of a rectangular metal plate which can be positioned at a component mounting position by a positioning device and which has at least in proximity to one corner portion thereof a recognition through hole, serving as a recognition mark, having a black bottom face within a recessed portion.
Claims7
A component-mounting-apparatus offset measuring board for use in measuring an offset of a component mounting apparatus which mounts a component onto a board positioned in a component mounting position by a positioning device,
- wherein the component-mounting-apparatus offset measuring board is formed of a rectangular or square metal plate which can be positioned in the component mounting position by the positioning device and which has a recognition mark at least in proximity to one corner portion thereof,
- wherein when the board is stopped at the component mounting position by contact with a board stopper of the positioning device, the recognition mark is positioned in proximity to a corner portion closest to the board stopper in the component mounting position, and
- wherein a face of the board with which the board stopper makes contact to stop the board is formed by processing.
A component-mounting-apparatus offset measuring board for use in measuring an offset of a component mounting apparatus which mounts a component onto a board positioned in a component mounting position by a positioning device,
- wherein the component-mounting-apparatus offset measuring board is formed of a rectangular or square metal plate which can be positioned in the component mounting position by the positioning device and which has a recognition mark at least in proximity to one corner portion thereof,
- wherein the rectangular or square metal plate has a recessed portion formed at least in proximity to one corner portion thereof, and a recognition through hole which is positioned within the recessed portion. the recognition through hole having a smaller inner diameter than the recessed portion and a black bottom face to serve as a recognition mark.
A component-mounting-apparatus offset measuring board for use in measuring an offset of a component mounting apparatus which mounts a component onto a board positioned in a component mounting position by a positioning device,
- wherein the component-mounting-apparatus offset measuring board is formed of a rectangular or square metal plate which can be positioned in the component mounting position by the positioning device and which has a recognition mark at least in proximity to one corner portion thereof,
- wherein a front face, a rear face and both side faces of the rectangular or square metal plate are formed by processing.
A method for measuring an offset of a component mounting apparatus in a component mounting apparatus which mounts a component onto a board positioned in a component mounting position by a positioning device, the method comprising:
- positioning an offset measuring board in the component mounting position by the positioning device, the offset measuring board being formed of a rectangular or square metal plate having a recognition mark at least in proximity to one corner portion thereof;
- recognizing the recognition mark to obtain coordinate information as to the recognition mark;
- based on the obtained coordinate information as to the recognition mark and coordinate information as to a range from the recognition mark to one corner portion of the offset measuring board closest to the recognition mark, obtaining position coordinate information as to the one corner portion of the offset measuring board;
- and
- comparing the obtained position coordinate information as to the one corner portion of the offset measuring board with coordinate information as to an original position of the one corner portion of the offset measuring board preliminarily set as the positioning device to thereby determine offset information therebetween.
