    摘要: A component supply device includes a hopper, a conveyance robot, a pick-up stand, and a discharge stand. A temporary placement position at which the component is temporarily placed on the tray is disposed on a straight line connecting a supply position at which the component is supplied to the conveyance robot in the hopper and a hand-over position at which the component is delivered from the conveyance robot on the discharge stand. The discharge stand includes a posture changer that changes a posture of the component conveyed by the conveyance robot.

    摘要: A component posture information acquiring device acquires information of a posture of a component from a hand that holds the component arranged on a picking table and places the component at a supply position. The component posture information acquiring device includes a distance measure that is provided in a vicinity of a component holding part of the hand and measures a distance from the distance measure to the component, and a hardware processor that determines the posture of the component, in which the hardware processor determines a position of a region of interest to be used for determining the posture of the component based on information of an arrangement position of the distance measure when the distance to the component measured by the distance measure becomes a predetermined distance, and determines the posture of the component based on a feature amount in the region of interest.

    摘要: In the first composite step, a plurality of images is superimposed. In the second composite step, a plurality of images of a second surface of the plurality of components is superimposed. In a first detection step, a feature amount of the first surface is detected using the plurality of images superimposed in the first composite step. In a second detection step, a feature amount of the second surface corresponding to the plurality of areas of the first surface is detected using the plurality of images superimposed in the second composite step. A difference in the feature amounts between each area of the first surface and each area of the second surface corresponding to each area of the first surface is calculated. In the determination-area decision step, an area where the difference in the feature amounts calculated in the calculation step is greater than a predetermined value is decided.

    摘要: A posture of a component is to be accurately determined.
    A posture determination method is to determine, based on an image acquired for a component having a plurality of surfaces, a posture of the component. This posture determination method includes recognizing an outer shape of the component from the image, detecting a feature amount of a surface shape in a determination area being a part of the component based on the outer shape of the component recognized in the recognizing, and determining. In the determining, the posture of the component is determined by comparing a first reference amount indicating a reference feature amount in the determination area of a first surface of the component and a second reference amount indicating a reference feature amount in the determination area of a second surface of the component with the feature amount detected in the detecting.
