Abstract

A component mounter which picks components which are stored in tape and supplied from a component supply device by a component picking device and mounts components on a board which is conveyed by a board conveyance device including a waste box which stores the cut tape after the components are picked, a scraping out device which can scrape the tape out of the waste box, and a control device which controls scraping out the stored tape by the scraping out device when the tape is stored in the waste box to a predetermined amount.

Claims (11)

1. A component mounter which picks components which are stored in tape and supplied from a component supply device by a component picking device and mounts components on a board which is conveyed by a board conveyance device, comprising:

a waste box which stores the cut tape after the components are picked, a side of the waste box including an ejection door,

a storage sensor that detects an amount of the cut tape in the waste box,

a scraping out device which scrapes the tape out of the waste box,

a collection device which collects the tape which is scraped out by the scraping out device, the collection device including a collection door configured to open by contact with the ejection door, and

a control device which controls scraping out the stored tape by the scraping out device when the tape is stored in the waste box to a predetermined amount as detected by the storage sensor.

2. The component mounter according to claim 1 , wherein the scraping out device is movable in the waste box and comprises a scraper which can scrape the tape stored in the waste box out of the waste box and a moving device which moves the scraper.

3. The component mounter according to claim 1 , wherein

the control device is configured to control the collection of the tape which is scraped out of the waste box into the collection device by opening the ejection door by the pushing force of the tape scraped out by the scraping out device and by opening the collection door by the pushing force of the ejection door which is opened.

4. The component mounter according to claim 1 , wherein

a rotation axis of the ejection door is substantially orthogonal to a rotation axis of the collection door.
