Abstract

A substrate working machine that performs mounting work on a circuit substrate is provided. The machine includes a receiving section that receives a first mounting work-correspondence device and a mounting stand on which a second mounting work-correspondence device is detachably mounted. The mounting work-correspondence device includes at least one of a device supplying an item necessary for the mounting work, a device discharging an item unnecessary in the mounting work, and a device performing processing required for the mounting work. The receiving section and the mounting stand are disposed at a predetermined edge portion of a base.

Claims (38)

1. A substrate working machine that performs mounting work on a circuit substrate, the substrate working machine comprising, when a device functioning as at least one of a device supplying an item necessary for the mounting work to be performed on the circuit substrate, a device discharging an item unnecessary in the mounting work, and a device performing processing required for the mounting work is defined as a mounting work-correspondence device:

a base;

a receiving section that is formed in the base and that receives a first mounting work-correspondence device including a moving mechanism configured to allow the first mounting work-correspondence device to be moved on a floor into the receiving section;

a mounting stand on which a second mounting work-correspondence device is detachably mounted, the second mounting work-correspondence device being different from the first mounting work-correspondence device received in the receiving section; and

a mounting head moving device which moves a mounting head, the mounting head moving device including a pair of first guide rails extending in a first direction, a second guide rail extending between the pair of first guide rails in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction and movable in the first direction on the pair of first guide rails, and a slider movable in the second direction on the second guide rail on which the mounting head is mounted,

wherein the mounting stand is fixed at a front edge portion of the base at a first side of the substrate working mounting machine in the second direction and the receiving section is formed at the front edge portion of the base at a second side of the substrate working mounting machine opposite the first side of the substrate working mounting machine in the second direction, the receiving section having a recessed shape extending rearward in the first direction from the front edge portion of the base so as to present a cavity delimited by first and second side walls extending in the first direction and a rear wall connecting the first and second side walls,

wherein a portion of the pair of first guide rails extends over the first and second side walls of the receiving section in the first direction so that the receiving section and the mounting stand are between the pair of first guide rails, and

wherein one of the first guide rails is disposed between the first side wall of the receiving section and the first side of the substrate working machine, and the other of the first guide rails is disposed between the second side wall of the receiving section and the second side of the substrate working machine so that the receiving section and the mounting stand are between the pair of first guide rails.

2. The substrate working machine according to claim 1 ,

wherein the mounting stand and the receiving section are disposed at the front edge portion of the base so as to be adjacent to each other so that a discard box is provided between the mounting stand and the receiving section.

3. The substrate working machine according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a conveying device that is provided on the base and conveys the circuit substrate; and

a processing device that performs processing before or after the mounting work,

wherein the processing device is provided on the base between the mounting stand and the conveying device.

4. The substrate working machine according to claim 1 ,

wherein both of the first mounting work-correspondence device and the second mounting work-correspondence device each function as a device that supplies a mounting component to be mounted on the circuit substrate, and

a supply position for a mounting component supplied by the first mounting work-correspondence device and a supply position for a mounting component supplied by the second mounting work-correspondence device are positioned on one row.

5. The substrate working machine according to claim 1 ,

wherein the second mounting work-correspondence device is at least one of a viscous fluid supply device that supplies viscous fluid fixing the mounting component to the circuit substrate, a component discharge device that discharges an unnecessary mounting component, and a cleaning processing device that performs processing for cleaning a holder holding the mounting component.

6. The substrate working machine according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a first cover that covers an upper portion of the substrate working machine and is made of a transparent material,

wherein the first mounting work-correspondence device includes a rack for a component to be mounted on the circuit substrate and a second cover that covers the rack of the first mounting work-correspondence device and is made of a transparent material.

7. The substrate working machine according to claim 1 , further comprising a part camera, a nozzle changer, and a tape discharge duct,

wherein the part camera, the nozzle changer, and the tape discharge duct are disposed between the second side wall of the receiving section and the other of the first guide rails.

8. A substrate working machine that performs mounting work on a circuit substrate, the substrate working machine comprising, when a device functioning as at least one of a device supplying an item necessary for the mounting work to be performed on the circuit substrate, a device discharging an item unnecessary in the mounting work, and a device performing processing required for the mounting work is defined as a mounting work-correspondence device:

a base;

a receiving section that receives a first mounting work-correspondence device including a moving mechanism configured to allow the first mounting work-correspondence device to be moved on a floor into the receiving section;

a mounting stand being fixed to a front edge portion of the base; and

a mounting head moving device which moves a mounting head, the mounting head moving device including a pair of first guide rails extending in a first direction, a second guide rail extending between the pair of first guide rails in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction and movable in the first direction on the pair of first guide rails, and a slider movable in the second direction on the second guide rail on which the mounting head is mounted, wherein

the mounting stand is fixed at a front edge portion of the base at a first side of the substrate working mounting machine in the second direction and the receiving section is formed at the front edge portion of the base at a second side of the substrate working mounting machine opposite the first side of the substrate working mounting machine in the second direction, the receiving section has a recessed shape being formed at the front edge portion of the base extending rearward in the first direction from the front edge portion of the base so as to present a cavity delimited by first and second side walls extending in the first direction and a rear wall connecting the first and second side walls, the receiving section being adjacent to the mounting stand,

multiple grooves are formed at an upper surface of the mounting stand so as to extend in the first direction,

a second mounting work-correspondence device different from the first mounting work-correspondence device received in the receiving section is detachably mounted on the mounting stand,

a slide portion is formed at an under surface of the second mounting work-correspondence device,
