Abstract:
There is provided a tape feeder that feeds a carrier tape to supply components to a component suction position for a mounting head in a component mounting apparatus. The tape feeder includes a first tape feed mechanism which is provided in a downstream side and feeds a preceding tape to the component suction position, and a second tape feed mechanism provided in an upstream side and feeds a following tape from a tape introducing port side toward the first tape feed mechanism. The tape feeder also includes a tape slipping-off informing unit which informs the component mounting apparatus that the following tape is slipped off from the second tape feed mechanism. For example, the tape slipping-off informing unit decides that the following tape is slipped off when a rotation of a sprocket of the second tape feed mechanism in an opposite direction is detected.
Abstract:
A feeder installing attachment includes: a main body portion including attachment side fitting parts provided on a lower surface thereof and having an installing compatibility with first feeder side fitting parts provided on a lower surface of a first tape feeder; and second feeder installing slots formed on an upper surface of the main body portion and engaging with second feeder side fitting parts provided on a lower surface of a second tape feeder having a standard width smaller than that of the first tape feeder. In a state where the attachment is mounted, an array pitch of the second feeder installing slots is smaller than an array pitch of the base side installing slots, and becomes an array pitch corresponding to the standard width of the second tape feeder.
Abstract:
A component supply device supplies a component accommodated in a carrier tape including a base tape and a cover tape pasted on the base tape and having a length to a forward end thereof that is longer than that of the base tape. The component supply device includes a tape conveying part, a turning over correcting part, and a peeling part. The tape conveying part conveys the carrier tape along a conveyance path. The turning over correcting part moves the forward end of the cover tape folded to a side opposite to a side of a conveyance direction, to a position located ahead of a forward end of the base tape in the conveyance direction in the conveyance path. The peeling part captures the forward end of the cover tape, and peels off the cover tape from the base tape.
Abstract:
A second tape conveying mechanism 20B includes a sprocket 21B allowed to rotate freely only in a first rotating direction corresponding to a tape conveying direction, and a first urging member 30 which urges and causes a carrier tape 14 to engage the sprocket 21B. When a preceding tape 14(1) engages the sprocket 21B and a subsequent tape 14(2) is inserted, the second tape conveying mechanism 20B abuts against a leading end of the subsequent tape 14(2) to prohibit entry of the subsequent tape 14(2). After the preceding tape 14(2) passes a tape stopper 35a, a position of the second tape conveying mechanism 20B is changed from a tape entry prohibition position to a tape entry permission position.
Abstract:
A component verification method includes a component ID reading process of reading a component ID corresponding to a stored component of a subsequent tape, a tape insertion detecting process of detecting that the subsequent tape has been inserted into a tape feeder, a feeder specifying process of specifying a tape feeder in which the insertion of the subsequent tape has been detected, a component verifying process of verifying whether or not a correspondence relationship between the read component ID and the specified tape feeder is correct, and a re-verification requesting process of requesting re-execution of the verification to a worker if it is detected that the subsequent tape has fallen from the tape feeder after the component verifying process.
Abstract:
A second tape feeding mechanism 20B can deal with a plurality of types of carrier tapes and has a biasing mechanism 25 that brings a biasing member 30 in which a recess portion 30b is provided in an abutment surface 30a into abutment with a carrier tape so as to bring the carrier tape into engagement with an outer circumferential surface of a sprocket 21B, and with a preceding tape kept in engagement with the sprocket 21B, a leading end portion of a following tape is inserted between the sprocket 21B and the preceding tape.

Abstract:
Trailing end portions and leading end portions of two carrier tapes are detected in a first detecting position P1 and a second detecting position P1 which are set along a tape traveling path 5c by a first tape detecting sensor S1 and a second tape detecting sensor S2, and a tape feeding control device 26 controls a first tape feeding mechanism 20A and a second tape feeding mechanism 20B so as to control an interval between the trailing end portion and the leading end portion based on an interval control pattern.

Abstract:
A tape feeder (a component supplying device) which transports a carrier tape covered with a cover tape and storing components to a component pick-up position, peels off the cover tape before the component pick-up position, and supplies the stored components to a component mounter, the tape feeder including photo-switch (a detector) which detects presence or absence of tension acting on the cover tape, the cover tape is peeled off from the carrier tape, a feeder storage unit (a storage unit) which stores the presence or absence of tension which is detected by the photo-switch, and an operation determination unit (a determination unit) which determines a processing operation performed when power which is supplied to the tape feeder is reintroduced based on the presence or absence of tension which is detected.
