Abstract

A component mounting machine includes multiple component supply devices which respectively include multiple component supply units and are exchangeably equipped; a component transfer device in which a reference height as a reference of a lifting and lowering operation of a mounting nozzle is set; a height memory section which memorizes a height unique value that is unique for each component supply device and that is a height unique value based on unit heights of each component supply unit when the component supply device is equipped; and a height correction control section which corrects a lowering operation stroke amount of the mounting nozzle based on the height unique value of the equipped component supply device. Accordingly, an error in a height direction can be comprehensively absorbed and the component can be stably picked up by controlling a component pick-up operation of the mounting nozzle based on the height unique value.

Claims (17)

1. A component mounting machine comprising:

a frame;

a plurality of component supply devices which respectively include a plurality of component supply units each configured to supply components at component supply positions and the plurality of component supply devices are exchangeably equipped on the frame;

a component transfer device which includes a mounting nozzle, the mounting nozzle configured to perform a lifting and lowering operation and pick up components from the component supply units of the component supply device which is equipped on the frame to mount the components on a board equipped on the frame, and a reference height as a reference of the lifting and lowering operation of the mounting nozzle is set;

a height memory section which memorizes a height unique value that is unique for each of the component supply devices, the height unique value being and commonly set for each component supply unit of each of the component supply devices based on the plural unit heights of the component supply units of the component supply device, wherein the unit heights of the component supply units is represented as a relative unit height of the component supply position of each component supply unit when the component supply device is equipped on the frame with respect to the reference height; and

a height correction control section which corrects a lowering operation stroke amount when the mounting nozzle picks up the components from the component supply units of the component supply device which is equipped on the frame based on the height unique value of the equipped component supply device memorized by the height memory section.

2. The component mounting machine according to claim 1 ,

wherein the height memory section is provided in each of the component supply devices and transmits the height unique value of the component supply device to the height correction control section when the component supply device is equipped on the frame.

3. The component mounting machine according to claim 1 ,

wherein the height correction control section serves as the height memory section and sets and memorizes an identification code for identifying an individual of the component supply devices and the height unique value of the individual component supply device.

4. The component mounting machine according to claim 1 ,

wherein in a state where the component supply device is equipped or is placed outside the machine, an actually measured value of the unit height of a part or all of the plurality of the component supply units is obtained and the height unique value is calculated based on the actually measured value.

5. The component mounting machine according to claim 1 ,

wherein the component supply units of the component supply devices include feeder-type component supply units arranged in a width direction.

6. A component mounting line comprising:

a plurality of the component mounting machines according to claim 1 ,

wherein at least a part of the plurality of the component supply devices is exchangeably equipped on at least a part of the plurality of the component mounting machines and the height unique values differ from each other in at least a part of the plurality of the component mounting machines.
