Abstract

In a cut and clinch device, movable section 122 is slidable with respect to main body section 120 . Also, a first insertion hole is formed in main body section 210 , and a second insertion hole 136 is formed in curved section 133 of movable section 122 in a state overlapping the first insertion hole. A lead is cut by the movable section being slid with the lead inserted into the first insertion hole and the second insertion hole. In such a cut and clinch device, a pair of recognition marks 210 are provided on a bent section opposite each other centered around the second insertion hole. Thus, the recognition marks are imaged, and based on the image data, it is possible to appropriately recognize the opening position of the second insertion hole, to appropriately insert the lead into the second insertion hole, and to appropriately cut the lead.

Claims (12)

1. A board work machine comprising:

a provided with (A) a fixed section in which is formed a first insertion-hole and (B) a movable section configured to slide with respect to the fixed section and in which is formed a second insertion-hole configured to overlap the first insertion-hole, the cutting device being configured to cut a lead of a leaded component by the lead being inserted from above the cutting device into the first insertion-hole and the second insertion-hole that are in an overlapping state and sliding the movable section;

a moving device configured to move the cutting device;

a recognition device configured to recognize a position of an upper insertion-hole that is an upper-positioned one of the first insertion-hole and the second insertion-hole that are in the overlapping state, based on image data of an image taken from above the cutting device of one of the fixed section and the movable section in which the uppermost insertion-hole is formed, wherein an internal surface of the upper insertion-hole is a tapered surface with a diameter that becomes smaller going downward in the upper insertion-hole; and

a recognition mark for recognizing the position of the upper insertion-hole, the recognition mark being formed on the one of the fixed section and the movable section in which the upper insertion-hole is formed,

wherein the recognition device is configured to recognize the position of the upper insertion-hole based on image data of the recognition mark.

2. The board work machine according to claim 1 , wherein

a pair of the recognition marks are provided opposite each other, centered around the upper insertion-hole on the one of the fixed section and the movable section in which the upper insertion-hole is formed.

3. A recognition method for a cutting device provided with (A) a fixed section in which is formed a first insertion-hole and (B) a movable section configured to slide with respect to the fixed section and in which is formed a second insertion-hole overlapping the first insertion-hole to cut a lead of a leaded component by the lead being inserted from above the cutting device into the first insertion-hole and second insertion-hole and sliding the movable section, wherein a recognition mark is formed on the one of the fixed section and the movable section in which an upper insertion-hole is formed, the upper insertion-hole that being an upper-positioned one of the first insertion-hole and the second insertion-hole that are in the overlapping state, wherein an internal surface of the upper insertion-hole is a tapered surface with a diameter that becomes smaller going downward in the upper insertion-hole, the recognition method comprising:

imaging the recognition mark of the one of the fixed section and the movable section in which the upper insertion-hole is formed, from above the cutting device; and

recognizing the position of the upper insertion-hole based on image data of the recognition mark obtained by the imaging.

4. The method according to claim 3 , wherein a pair of the recognition marks are provided opposite each other, centered around the upper insertion-hole on the one of the fixed section and the movable section in which the upper insertion-hole is formed, and wherein the step of recognizing the position of the upper insertion-hole comprises determining a center point of the pair of recognition marks as the center of the upper insertion-hole.
