Abstract:
A tape feeder for a chip mounter, the tape feeder including: a tape support unit extending along a moving direction of a carrier tape to which a cover tape is separably attached, and contacting a top surface of the carrier tape; a separation unit separating a first side portion of the cover tape in a lengthwise direction; a bending guide unit guiding the first side portion of the cover tape separated from the carrier tape such that the first side portion of the cover tape separated from the carrier tape is bent and away from the separated portion of the carrier tape; and a folding guide unit folding the first side portion over a second side portion of the cover tape to drop the first side portion downward.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a carrier tape feeder for a chip mounter. The carrier tape feeder includes: a body part; a rotation part, which is rotatably mounted on the body part and rotates by being engaged with a portion of a first carrier tape; a handle part, which is disposed by being separated by a predetermined distance from the outer circumferential surface of the rotation part, is rotatably mounted on the body part, and is selectively engaged with a second carrier tape; and a block part, which is rotatably mounted on the body part and exerts a force to the second carrier tape towards the rotation part according to rotation of the handle part.
Abstract:
Provided are a carrier tape feeding device, a chip mounting system, and a chip mounting method. The carrier tape feeding device includes: a transfer unit for transferring a first carrier tape and a second carrier tape sequentially to a chip mounting apparatus; a rotation unit selectively engaged to a part of the first carrier tape with which a part of the second carrier tape contacts, and for transferring the second carrier tape to the transfer unit; a detecting sensor unit for detecting sequential existence of the first carrier tape or the second carrier tape supplied to the transfer unit, and existence of the second carrier tape supplied to the rotation unit; and a controller for determining existence of the first carrier tape based on a signal detected by the detecting sensor unit, and controlling at least one of the transfer unit and the rotation unit to be driven based on the existence of the first carrier tape.
