A cover-tape feeding apparatus for feeding a peeled portion of a cover tape of a carrier tape which includes an accommodating tape having, at a predetermined pocket pitch, pockets accommodating electric components, respectively, and the cover tape attached to the accommodating tape to close the pockets, and which is fed in a lengthwise direction thereof at a carrier-tape-feed pitch equal to a quotient obtained by dividing the pocket pitch by an integral number, the apparatus including a conveying belt which is endlessly wound on at least two pulleys and at least a portion of which supports the peeled portion of the cover tape; a reciprocative member which is reciprocated forward and backward in opposite directions substantially parallel to the portion of the conveying belt; and a pinching device including a pair of pinching members at least one of which is provided on the reciprocative member, the one pinching member cooperating, when the reciprocative member is moved forward, with the other pinching member to pinch the portion of the conveying belt and the peeled portion of the cover tape supported by the portion of the belt and feed the peeled portion of the cover tape and the portion of the conveying belt and, when the reciprocative member is moved backward, being moved relative to the fed portion of the cover tape and the fed portion of the conveying belt.
摘要:
An electric-component feeder for feeding a carrier tape carrying electric components at a predetermined component-carry pitch, at a tape-feed pitch equal to a quotient obtained by dividing the component-carry pitch by an integral number, and thereby supplying the electric components, one by one, the feeder including a main frame including a tape guide which guides the carrier tape in a lengthwise direction thereof; a cam which has a cam surface and which is provided on the main frame such that the cam surface is movable relative to the main frame; a cam drive device which is supported by the main frame and which drives the cam and thereby moves the cam surface relative to the main frame; a cam follower which is supported by the main frame and which follows the cam surface while being moved by the cam surface being moved by the cam drive device; and a motion converting device which is supported by the main frame and which converts the motion of the cam follower into the feeding of the carrier tape at the tape-feed pitch along the tape guide of the main frame.

A detecting device for detecting a position of an electronic component in which the component is held by a holder is disclosed. The detecting device includes a first light emitter for emitting a first radiation toward a vicinity of the electronic component, a second light emitter disposed in the vicinity of the holder, for absorbing the first radiation, and emitting a second radiation having a wavelength different from that of the first radiation, toward the electronic component, and a photoelectric device disposed on one of opposite sides of the electronic component which is remote from the second light emitter. The photoelectric means is insensitive to the first radiation and receives a projection image of the electronic component formed by the second radiation.

An electronic-component supplying system including electronic-component supplying cartridges each of which includes a cartridge frame, an electronic-component holder which holds electronic components and which includes a connection portion connected to a connection portion of the cartridge frame, and an electronic-component feeder which feeds each of the electronic components from the holder to an electronic-component supplying position distant from the connection portion of the cartridge frame, a support member which supports the respective cartridge frames of the supplying cartridges such that the respective electronic-component supplying positions on the cartridge frames are aligned with each other in a predetermined direction, and an engaging device which is provided between the support member and an engageable portion of the holder of each cartridge, the engageable portion of the holder being distant from the connection portion thereof, the engaging device being engageable with the engageable portion of the holder such that the engageable portion is substantially immovable relative to the support member in the predetermined direction.
摘要:
Method and apparatus for holding an electronic component prior to its placement on a circuit substrate. The component sucked by a sucker is first centered in one direction by closing movements of a first pair of opposed positioning members toward the component, and then centered in another direction normal to the above one direction by closing movements of a second pair of opposed positioning members which occur only after the first pair of positioning members are opened. The first pair of positioning members are provided on an assembly holding the sucker, and the second pair of positioning members are provided on the sucker holder assembly or separately from the sucker holder assembly. In the latter instance, the assembly holding the sucker and the first pair of positioning members are adapted to be movable relative to the separately provided second pair for alignment of the sucker with the separate second pair.
