Abstract

Provided is an apparatus for manufacturing a double-sided mounting substrate, the apparatus including: a backup table provided under the printed circuit board at the mounting position which supports the lower surface of the printed circuit board; and a servo motor which elevates and lowers the backup table, wherein the servo motor elevates the backup table to mount the new electronic components and lowers the backup table to carry-in and to carry-away the printed circuit board based on a lower limit position of the backup table, and wherein the lower limit position of the backup table is a position separated downwardly from a reference surface at the mounting position by a distance obtained by adding a preset clearance to a sum of a maximum height of the mounted electronic components mounted on the lower surface of the printed circuit board and a thickness of the printed circuit board.

Claims (23)

1. An apparatus for manufacturing a double-sided mounting substrate, in which a printed circuit board with mounted electronic components mounted on upper and lower surfaces of the printed circuit board is carried to a mounting position, new electronic components are mounted on the upper surface of the printed circuit board at the mounting position, and the printed circuit board is carried away from the mounting position after the new electronic components are mounted, the apparatus comprising:

a backup table provided under the printed circuit board at the mounting position which supports the lower surface of the printed circuit board; and

a servo motor configured to elevate and lower the backup table,

wherein the servo motor is configured to elevate the backup table to mount the new electronic components and configured to lower the backup table to carry-in and to carry-away the printed circuit board based on a lower limit position of the backup table,

wherein the lower limit position of the backup table comprises a position separated downwardly from a reference surface at the mounting position by a distance obtained by adding a preset clearance to a sum of a maximum height of the mounted electronic components mounted on the lower surface of the printed circuit board and a thickness of the printed circuit board, and

wherein the apparatus further comprises:

a data input unit configured to receive input for the maximum height of the mounted electronic components mounted on the lower surface of the printed circuit board and the thickness of the printed circuit board;

a lower limit position calculation unit configured to calculate the lower limit position based on the input maximum height of the mounted electronic components and the thickness of the printed circuit board, and the preset clearance; and

a servo operation command unit configured to send a command to operate the servo motor based on the lower limit position calculated by the lower limit position calculation unit.

2. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the backup table comprises:

a plate; and

a plurality of backup pins provided on the plate to support the lower surface of the printed circuit board.

3. An apparatus for manufacturing a double-sided mounting substrate having a printed circuit board with mounted electronic components on upper and lower surfaces of the printed circuit board, the apparatus comprising:

a backup table configured to move between first and second positions;

a servo motor configured to elevate and lower the backup table between the first and second positions,

wherein the first position comprises a position where the apparatus mounts a new electronic component on the upper surface of the printed circuit board, and the second position comprises a position separated downwardly from a reference surface by a distance obtained by adding a preset clearance to a sum of a maximum height of the mounted electronic components mounted on the lower surface of the printed circuit board and a thickness of the printed circuit board, and

wherein the apparatus further comprises:

a data input unit configured to receive input for the maximum height of the mounted electronic components mounted on the lower surface of the printed circuit board and the thickness of the printed circuit board;

a lower limit position calculation unit configured to calculate the lower limit position based on the input maximum height of the mounted electronic components and the thickness of the printed circuit board, and the preset clearance; and

a servo operation command unit configured to send a command to operate the servo motor based on the lower limit position calculated by the lower limit position calculation unit.

4. The apparatus of claim 3 , wherein the backup table comprises:

a plate; and

a plurality of backup pins provided on the plate to support the lower surface of the printed circuit board.
