Apparatus of mounting component
View Patent ↗An apparatus and method of mounting components are provided. The apparatus for mounting components includes: a component supplying unit which supplies the components so that the components move in at least one line; and a plurality of suction nozzles disposed to approach to or retreat from the components, wherein intervals between the plurality of suction nozzles are changeable so that the suction nozzles correspond to positions of the components. The method of mounting components includes: disposing a plurality of suction nozzles corresponding to the positions of the components; picking up the components by using the suction nozzles adjusting intervals between the suction nozzles; moving the suction nozzles to an upper side of a substrate, on which the components are to be mounted; and putting the components down on the substrate.
1. An apparatus for mounting a plurality of components, the apparatus comprising:
a component supplying unit which supplies the components so that the components are transferred in at least one line;
a component transfer guide which guides the components to be transferred in the at least one line; and
a plurality of suction nozzles disposed to approach to or retreat from the components guided by the component transfer guide,
wherein the component transfer guide exposes the components to an outside simultaneously,
wherein the suction nozzles are arranged along a direction in which the components are guided by the component transfer guide, so that the suction nozzles approach to the components which are exposed to the outside at the component transfer guide, and
wherein intervals between the plurality of suction nozzles are changeable along the direction in which the components are guided by the component transfer guide so that the suction nozzles correspond to positions of the components.
2. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of suction nozzles are disposed parallel to the direction in which the components are guided by the component transfer guide.
3. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the component supplying unit comprises a vibratory bowl feeder.
4. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the component supplying unit comprises a reel that comprises a carrier tape containing the components.
5. The apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising a substrate supporter, which supports a substrate, on which the components are installed, wherein the substrate supporter is disposed at a position apart from the component transfer guide in the direction in which the components are guided by the component transfer guide.
6. The apparatus of claim 5 , wherein the substrate supporter transfers the substrate in a direction intercrossing the direction in which the components are guided by the component transfer guide.
7. The apparatus of claim 5 , further comprising a camera interposed between the substrate supporter and the component transfer guide.
8. The apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising a substrate supporter, which supports a substrate, on which the components are installed, wherein the substrate supporter is disposed at a position apart from the component transfer guide in a direction intercrossing the direction in which the components are guided by the component transfer guide.
9. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the substrate supporter transfers the substrate in a direction parallel to the direction in which the components are guided by the component transfer guide.
10. The apparatus of claim 8 , further comprising a camera interposed between the substrate supporters and the component transfer guide.
