Component mounter
View Patent ↗A component mounter is provided with a characteristic value measuring device that measures a characteristic value of first component, and head that mounts each of first component and second component on board. Second component is a digital potentiometer provided with receiver section that receives information from head, variable resistance section for which the resistance is variable, and control section that controls the resistance value of variable resistance section. Head is provided with receiver section that receives information from characteristic value measuring device, sender section that sends information to second component, power source that supplies electric current to variable resistance section, memory section that memorizes the resistance value of second component according to the characteristic value of first component, and control section.
1. A component mounter comprising:
a characteristic value measuring device that measures a characteristic value of a first component; and
a head configured to mount the first component and a second component on a board;
wherein
the second component is a digital potentiometer provided with a receiver section configured to receive information from the head, a variable resistance section for which a resistance value is variable, and a control section configured to control the resistance value of the variable resistance section,
the head is provided with a head receiver section configured to receive information from the characteristic value measuring device, a sender section configured to send information to the second component, a power source configured to supply current to the variable resistance section, a memory section in which is memorized the resistance value of the second component corresponding to the characteristic value of the first component, and a control section,
and wherein
the control section of the head receives the characteristic value of the first component measured by the characteristic value measuring device from the characteristic value measuring device via the head receiver section, identifies the resistance value of the second component from the memory section based on the received characteristic of the first component, and sends the identified resistance value of the second component to the second component via the sender section,
the power source of the head supplies electric current to the variable resistance section of the second component, and
the control section of the head, with respect to the control section of the second component, receives the resistance value of the second component received from the head via the receiver section of the second component, and with electric current flowing in the variable resistance section, adjusts the resistance value of the variable resistance section based on the received resistance value of the second component.

an RF tag is attached to the board, and the control section of the head writes the characteristic value of the first component and the resistance value of the second component to the RF tag.
4. The component mounter according to claim 1 , wherein
the memory section of the head memorizes a table in which the resistance value of the second component corresponding to the characteristic values of the first component is set in advance.
5. The component mounter according to claim 1 , wherein
the characteristic value measuring device is provided with a communication pad configured to send the characteristic value of the first component,
the head is provided with a receiver probe connected to the head receiver section, and
the characteristic value of the first component is sent from the characteristic value measuring device to the head when the receiver probe contacts the communication pad.
6. The component mounter according to claim 1 , wherein
the head is provided with a sender probe connected to the sender section,
the second component is provided with a receiver terminal connected to the receiver section of the second component, and
