Abstract

A mounting inspection device includes a missing component inspection device and a foreign object inspection device. The missing component inspection device is for performing missing component inspection of components mounted on a printed circuit board. The foreign object inspection device is for performing foreign object inspection in which foreign objects on a printed circuit board are inspected with regard to the printed circuit board on which a missing component is detected, based on results of the missing component inspection carried out by the missing component inspection device.

Claims (16)

1. A mounting inspection device, comprising:

a board camera that captures an image of a printed circuit board;

missing component inspection circuitry to perform missing component inspection of components mounted on the printed circuit board based on the image of the printed circuit board captured by the board camera and to generate missing component information for specifying the component which has been determined as a missing component; and

foreign object inspection circuitry to perform foreign object inspection in which foreign objects on the printed circuit board are inspected with regard to the printed circuit board on which the missing component has been detected and to not perform the foreign object inspection with regard to the printed circuit board on which the missing component has not been detected, based on the missing component information generated by the missing component inspection circuitry,

wherein the foreign object inspection circuitry specifies a disposition position of the missing component based on the missing component information, the disposition position corresponding to a position in which the missing component is to be mounted, and performs the foreign object inspection by starting on a periphery of the specified disposition position.

2. The mounting inspection device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the foreign object inspection circuitry acquires missing component conveying information which is information relating to a conveyance path over the printed circuit board when mounting a component which is the detected missing component, and performs the foreign object inspection on a region which is specified by the missing component conveying information in the printed circuit board.

3. The mounting inspection device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the foreign object inspection circuitry performs the foreign object inspection based on image processing, acquires missing component size information which is information relating to a size of a component which is the detected missing component, and, based on the acquired missing component size information, performs the foreign object inspection, ignoring foreign objects which are smaller than the component which is the missing component among the foreign objects which are detected based on the image processing.

4. The mounting inspection device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the printed circuit board is a multiple printed circuit board including a plurality of child boards; and

wherein, for the multiple printed circuit board on which the missing component is detected by the missing component inspection circuitry, the foreign object inspection circuitry also performs the foreign object inspection on one or more child boards other than the child board on which the missing component is detected in the multiple printed circuit board.

5. A mounting inspection device, comprising:

a board camera that captures an image of a printed circuit board;

missing component inspection circuitry to perform missing component inspection of components mounted on the printed circuit board based on the image of the printed circuit board captured by the board camera and to generate missing component information for specifying the component which has been determined as a missing component; and

foreign object inspection circuitry to specify a disposition position of the missing component based on the missing component information generated by the missing component inspection circuitry, the disposition position corresponding to a position in which the missing component is to be mounted, and to perform foreign object inspection in which foreign objects on the printed circuit board are inspected with regard to the printed circuit board on which the missing component has been detected by starting on a periphery of the specified disposition position of the missing component.
