Component mounting apparatus
View Patent ↗A inverting head 20 that inverts a component 4 picked up by a nozzle 20 a upside down includes a flat-plate-like base 31 provided on a vertically-movable transfer base 21 d ; a nozzle holder support member 33 that is swayable within a horizontal plane the base as a result of arcuate peripheries 41 being supported by a plurality of bearings 32 provided on the base 31 ; and a nozzle holder 34 that is supported so as to be turnable around a horizontal axis CX by the nozzle holder support member 33 and that holds on its side surface the nozzle 20 a.
1. A component mounting apparatus, comprising:
a substrate positioning section positioning a substrate;
an inverting head that picks up a component fed to a component supplying position from above by a nozzle, that inverts the component upside down, and that transfers the component inverted upside down to a position that is above a component mounting targeting location on the substrate positioned by the substrate positioning section; and
a mount head that receives the component transferred to the position above the component mounting targeting location from the inverting head, and that lowers the component after the inverting head left the position above the component mounting targeting location, so as to mount the component to the component mounting targeting location;
wherein the inverting head includes a plate-shaped base provided on a vertically-movable transfer member;
a nozzle holder support member including an arcuate periphery supported by a plurality of bearings provided on the base and that is swayable within a horizontal plane with respect to the base, wherein the nozzle holder support member has a substantially circular plate shape, and wherein the nozzle holder support member is provided with a cutout in a central region of the nozzle holder support member, and a pair of arm parts sandwiching the cutout and extending in a horizontal plane;
a nozzle holder that extends in a horizontal direction with both ends of the nozzle holder being supported by the nozzle holder support member, that is turnable around a horizontal axis, and that holds the nozzle on a side surface of the nozzle holder;
a rotary driving section that turns the nozzle holder around the horizontal axis, so as to switch an orientation of the nozzle between up and down; and
a sway driving section that sways the nozzle holder support member within the horizontal plane with respect to the base, so as to change the orientation of the upwardly/downwardly-oriented nozzle within the horizontal plane.
2. The component mounting apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the nozzle holder includes a nozzle base that is supported by the nozzle holder support member at both ends of the nozzle base, that extends in the horizontal direction, and that has a vacuum pathway formed in the nozzle base;
a nozzle engagement member that brings the vacuum pathway in the nozzle and the vacuum pathway in the nozzle base into mutual communication with each other by engaging the nozzle on the side surface of the nozzle base; and
a pair of fixing members that are slidably attached to both ends of the nozzle base from outside, so as to fix the nozzle engagement member to the nozzle base.
