Abstract

A cut and clinch device includes a movable section slidable with respect to a main body section. A first insertion hole is formed in main body section, and a second insertion hole is formed in the movable section. A lead is cut by the movable section being slid with the lead inserted into the first insertion hole and the second insertion hole. A recognition mark is provided on the movable section and the main body section, and the types of the movable section and the main body section are recognized based on image data of the recognition marks. By this, it is possible to appropriately check the type of the portion that cuts a lead.

Claims (23)

1. A board work machine comprising:

a cutting device including

a cutting tool configured to cut a lead of a leaded component inserted into an insertion hole formed in the cutting tool, and

a main body section to which the cutting tool is removably attached;

an imaging device; and

a control device,

wherein

a mark for recognizing a type of the cutting tool is provided on the cutting device, and

the control device includes

an imaging section configured to capture an image of the recognition mark using the imaging device, and

a recognizing section configured to recognize the type of the cutting tool based on image data obtained from the imaging section.

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

the recognition mark is multiple symbols provided outside a depth of field of the imaging device, and

the recognizing section is configured to recognize the type of the cutting tool based on image data of the multiple symbols obtained from the imaging section.

3. A method comprising:

providing a recognition mark on a body section of a cutting tool, the recognition mark being indicative of a type of the cutting tool;

imaging the recognition mark provided on the cutting tool using an imaging device, the cutting tool being included in a cutting device including the cutting tool configured to cut a lead of a leaded component inserted into an insertion hole formed in the cutting tool, and a main body section to which the cutting tool is removably attached;

recognizing the type of the cutting tool based on image data obtained from the imaging;

confirming the type of the cutting tool that has been recognized; and

operating the confirmed cutting tool so as to cut the lead of the leaded component inserted into the insertion hole formed in cutting tool.

4. The method according to claim 3 , wherein

the recognition mark is multiple symbols provided outside a depth of field of the imaging device, and

the type of the cutting tool is recognized based on image data of the multiple symbols obtained from the imaging.
