Abstract

A holding device for tools required for component supply includes: a feeder attachment table on which multiple tape feeders are attached lined up in a lengthwise direction; a first reel holder provided at a rear side of the feeder attachment table and which holds lined up multiple tape reels on which a component holding tape is wound; a second reel bolder provided below the first reel holder and which bolds lined up multiple of tape reels; and a second holder movement allowance mechanism which allows the second reel holder to move upwards, such that the second reel holder is positioned at a rear side of the first reel holder. A waste tape collection device arranged in front of the second reel holder below the feeder attachment table can be removed from the rear side of the waste tape collection device.

Claims (41)

1. A holding device for tools required for component supply comprising:

a feeder attachment table on which multiple tape feeders are attached lined up in a lengthwise direction, the tape feeders being configured to feed component holding tape that holds multiple components and position multiple of the components respectively at a supply position;

a first reel holder provided at a rear side of the feeder attachment table and configured to hold lined up multiple tape reels on which the component holding tape is wound;

a second reel holder provided below the first reel holder and configured to hold lined up multiple of the tape reels;

a second holder movement allowance mechanism configured to allow the second reel holder to move upwards from a first position to a second position which is higher than the first position; and

a waste tape collection device arranged below the feeder attachment table and in front of the second reel holder, and configured to collect waste tape that is tape after components have been picked up from the component holding tape,

wherein

the second reel holder is positioned further rearward of the first reel holder in the second position than in the first position.

2. The holding device for tools required for component supply according to claim 1 , wherein

the component holding tape is supplied to any of the multiple tape feeders from the tape reel held by any one of the first reel holders and the second reel holders.

3. The holding device for tools required for component supply according to claim 1 , wherein

the component holding tape is supplied to any of the multiple tape feeders from the tape reel held by the second reel holder in a state with the second reel holder positioned at the rear side of the first reel holder.

4. The holding device for tools required for component supply according to claim 1 ,

wherein

when the second reel holder is in the second position, the waste tape collection device is removable rearwardly.

5. The holding device for tools required for component supply according to claim 1 , wherein

the second holder movement allowance mechanism supports the second reel holder rotatably at an upper portion of the second reel holder, and movement to the second position from the first position is allowed by rotation of the second reel holder.

6. The holding device for tools required for component supply according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a second holder fixing mechanism configured to fix the second reel holder in a state in which the second reel holder is in the second position.

7. The holding device for tools required for component supply according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a guide provided to the rear of the first reel holder and at a position higher than an upper end of the tape reel held by the first reel holder,

wherein,

by the component holding tape pulled up from the tape reel held by the second tape holder being made to face forwards by the guide, the component holding tape wound on the tape reel held by the second tape holder is supplied to one of the multiple tape feeders passing above the tape reel held by the first reel holder.

8. A holding device for tools required for component supply comprising:

a feeder attachment table on which multiple tape feeders are attached lined up in a lengthwise direction, the tape feeders being configured to feed component holding tape that holds multiple components and position multiple of the components respectively at a supply position;

a first reel holder provided at a rear side of the feeder attachment table and configured to hold lined up multiple tape reels on which the component holding tape is wound;

a second reel holder provided below the first reel holder and configured to hold lined up multiple of the tape reels;

a second holder movement allowance mechanism configured to allow the second reel holder to move upwards; and

a waste tape collection device arranged below the feeder attachment table and in front of the second reel holder, and configured to collect waste tape that is tape after components have been picked up from the component holding tape,

wherein

the second reel holder is able to be positioned at a rear side of the first reel holder, and

in a state with the second reel holder positioned at the rear of the first reel holder, the waste tape collection device is removable rearwardly.

9. A holding device for tools required for component supply comprising:

a feeder attachment table on which multiple tape feeders are attached lined up in a lengthwise direction, the tape feeders being configured to feed component holding tape that holds multiple components and position multiple of the components respectively at a supply position;

a first reel holder provided at a rear side of the feeder attachment table and configured to hold lined up multiple tape reels on which the component holding tape is wound;

a second reel holder provided below the first reel holder and configured to hold lined up multiple of the tape reels;

a second holder movement allowance mechanism configured to allow the second reel holder to move upwards; and

a guide provided to the rear of the first reel holder and at a position higher than an upper end of the tape reel held by the first reel holder,

wherein

the second reel holder is able to be positioned at a rear side of the first reel holder, and

by the component holding tape pulled up from the tape reel held by the second tape holder being made to face forwards by the guide, the component holding tape wound on the tape reel held by the second tape holder is supplied to one of the multiple tape feeders passing above the tape reel held by the first reel holder.
