Abstract

Mounting device 11 captures an image of reference mark 25 at a first position at which mounting head 22 is stopped under first imaging conditions, and captures an image of component 60 under second imaging conditions. Then, mounting device 11 moves mounting head 22 and captures an image of reference mark 25 at a second position at which mounting head 22 is stopped under the first imaging conditions, and captures a second image of component 60 under the second imaging conditions. Further, mounting device 11 generates an image of component 60 picked up by mounting head 22 based on the positional relationship of reference mark 25 using the first image and the second image.

Claims (19)

1. A mounting device comprising:

a mounting head including a reference mark and a pickup member for picking up a component, the mounting head being configured to move a picked up component above a board;

an imaging section configured to capture an image; and

a control section configured to capture an image of the reference mark under first imaging conditions at a first position at which the mounting head is stopped within an imaging range of the imaging section, capture a first image that includes the component picked up by the pickup member under second imaging conditions that are different from the first imaging conditions, and then move the mounting head and capture an image of the reference mark under the first imaging conditions at a second position at which the mounting head is stopped within the imaging range, capture a second image that includes the component picked up by the pickup member under the second imaging conditions, and generate an image of the component picked up by the mounting head based on a positional relationship of the reference mark using the first image and the second image.

2. The mounting device according to claim 1 , wherein

the imaging conditions are at least one of a lighting position of illumination, a color of illumination, an exposure time, or a focal length.

3. The mounting device according to claim 1 or 2 , wherein

the control section is configured to, at the first position and the second position, image the reference mark and then image the component.

4. The mounting device according to claim 1 or 2 , wherein

the control section is configured to, after imaging at the first position under the first imaging conditions, move the mounting head and capture an image under the first imaging conditions at the second position first, or, after imaging at the first position under the second imaging conditions, move the mounting head and capture an image at the under the second imaging conditions at the second position first.

5. The mounting device according to claim 1 to 4 , wherein

the control section is configured to, using the first image and the second image having a first resolution captured by the imaging section, generate an image of a second resolution that has a higher resolution than the first resolution.

6. The mounting device according to claim 1 to 5 , wherein

the control section is configured to, when it is possible to capture the reference mark and the component under the same conditions, image the reference mark and the component together under the same imaging conditions.

7. An image processing method for a mounting device provided with a mounting head including a reference mark and a pickup member for picking up a component, the mounting head being configured to move a picked up component above a board, and an imaging section for capturing images, the image processing method comprising:

capturing an image of the reference mark under first imaging conditions at a first position at which the mounting head is stopped within an imaging range of the imaging section, capturing a first image that includes the component picked up by the pickup member under second imaging conditions that are different from the first imaging conditions, and then moving the mounting head and capturing an image of the reference mark under the first imaging conditions at a second position at which the mounting head is stopped within the imaging range, capturing a second image that includes the component picked up by the pickup member under the second imaging conditions, and generating an image of the component picked up by the mounting head based on a positional relationship of the reference mark using the first image and the second image.

8. An imaging unit for a mounting device provided with a mounting head including a reference mark and a pickup member for picking up a component, the mounting head being configured to move a picked up component above a board, and an imaging section for capturing images, the imaging unit comprising:

an imaging section configured to capture an image; and

a control section configured to capture an image of the reference mark under first imaging conditions at a first position at which the mounting head is stopped within an imaging range of the imaging section, capture a first image that includes the component picked up by the pickup member under second imaging conditions that are different from the first imaging conditions, and then move the mounting head and capturing an image of the reference mark under the first imaging conditions at a second position at which the mounting head is stopped within the imaging range, capture a second image that includes the component picked up by the pickup member under the second imaging conditions, and generate an image of the component picked up by the mounting head based on a positional relationship of the reference mark using the first image and the second image.
