Abstract

In a case in which mounting deviation is occurring in a component which is mounted onto a solder surface of a board, a pad jig is pushed against the component, and the mounting deviation of the component is corrected through a friction force between the pad jig and the component by causing the pad jig to move in a horizontal direction.

Claims (31)

1. A mounting deviation correction apparatus which corrects mounting deviation of a mounted component which is mounted onto a board, comprising:

a contact holding member which includes an abutting section which holds the mounted component, the abutting section including a friction member configured to contact an upper surface of the mounted component that is opposite to a mounting surface of the mounted component which is mounted to the board;

a movement device that moves the contact holding member;

a positional information acquisition device that acquires positional information of the mounted component in which mounting deviation is arising in relation to the board;

a contact holding control device for controlling the movement device such that the contact holding member is moved in a mounting direction of the component until the abutting section contacts the upper surface and holds the mounted component in which the mounting deviation is arising based on the acquired positional information; and

a mounting deviation correction control device that controls the movement device such that the contact holding member moves in a direction perpendicular to the mounting direction using a friction force between the friction member and the upper surface of the component, the movement cancelling out the mounting deviation of the mounted component based on the positional information which is acquired in a state in which the abutting section holds the mounted component,

wherein the abutting section includes a valley-shaped abutting surface which comes into contact with at least two opposite sides of the upper surface of the mounted component.

2. The mounting deviation correction apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the contact holding control device is a device that controls the movement device so as to cause the abutting surface to push the mounted component.

3. The mounting deviation correction apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the mounted component is a rectangular prism shaped component.

4. The mounting deviation correction apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the abutting section includes a separating mechanism which moves the contact holding member in a direction opposite to the mounting direction in a state in which the abutting section holds the mounted component, and subsequently causes the abutting section to separate from the mounted component.

5. The mounting deviation correction apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a component information acquisition device that acquires component information relating to a shape of the mounted component,

wherein the contact holding control device is a device that controls the movement device such that the abutting section pushes the mounted component based on the acquired component information.

6. The mounting deviation correction apparatus according to claim 5 , further comprising:

a support member which supports the board at a predetermined position; and

a warning device that performs a predetermined warning in a case in which a mounting position of the mounted component which is specified based on the acquired positional information is not within a predetermined region including the predetermined position.

7. The mounting deviation correction apparatus according to claim 5 , further comprising:

a push-in amount detection device that detects a push-in amount of the abutting section when contacting the upper surface of the mounted component; and

an error information output device that outputs error information in a case in which the detected push-in amount exceeds a predetermined amount.

8. The mounting deviation correction apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising:

an inspection device that inspects whether or not mounting deviation is present in the mounted component which is a control target after the controlling by the mounting deviation correction control device.

9. A component mounting system which configures a mounting line which is provided with a printer which prints solder onto a board, a component mounting machine which mounts a component onto the board onto which the solder is printed by the printer, an inspector which inspects whether or not mounting deviation is present in the component which is mounted onto the board, and a reflow furnace which melts the solder by heating the board after the inspecting to perform soldering, the component mounting system comprising:

the mounting deviation correction apparatus according to claim 1 which corrects the mounting deviation of the mounted component for which it is determined by the inspector that the mounting deviation is occurring,

wherein the mounting deviation correction apparatus is incorporated in the mounting line.

10. The mounting deviation correction apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the valley-shaped abutting surface is a V-shaped groove.

11. The mounting deviation correction apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the contact holding control device controls the movement device to move the abutting section in the mounting direction, after contact is made with the upper surface of the mounted component, to push the mounted component a set push-in amount based on the acquired component information.
