Abstract

Provided is a component mounting device including: an XY robot, a Z-axis slider attached to an X-axis slider of the XY robot so as to be movable in the Z-axis direction, a head loaded on the Z-axis slider, and a nozzle attached to head 30 so as to be movable in the Z-axis direction. With the component mounting device, a component supplied from a component supply unit is picked up by the nozzle, transported to a specified position on a board, and mounted. A flexible section with an external appearance with a U shape that is expandable and contractible in the X-axis direction and the Z-axis direction is arranged to the rear of a Y-axis slider. A portion of an X-axis wiring tube and a portion of a Z-axis wiring tube are bundled together in the flexible section.

Claims (16)

1. A component mounting device for picking up a component supplied from a component supply device, transporting the component to a specified position on a board, and mounting the component on the board, the component mounting device comprising:

an XY robot including an X-axis slider and a Y-axis slider;

a Z-axis slider attached to a front surface of the X-axis slider of the XY robot so as to be movable in a Z-axis direction;

a head loaded on the Z-axis slider;

a nozzle attached to the head so as to be movable in the Z-axis direction;

a first wiring tube connected to a device loaded on the X-axis slider of the XY robot, the first wiring tube moving in accordance with operation of the X-axis slider of the XY robot;

a second wiring tube connected to a device loaded on the Z-axis slider, the second wiring tube moving in accordance with operation of the Z-axis slider; and

a flexible section in which at least a portion of the first wiring tube and at least a portion of the second wiring tube are bundled, the flexible section being capable of expanding and contracting in a movement direction of the Z-axis slider and a movement direction of the X-axis slider of the XY robot,

wherein the Z-axis slider is provided with a case that extends from a lower section of the Z-axis slider passing a space below the Y-axis slider of the XY robot to a space on a rear side of the X-axis slider of the XY robot, and

wherein the flexible section is provided at an intermediate section from the case to an upper section of the Y-axis slider at the space on the rear side of the X-axis slider of the XY robot.

2. The component mounting device according to claim 1 , wherein

the flexible section has an intermediate section with a U shape or an S shape when in a state with a first end of the flexible section positioned directly below a second end of the flexible section.

3. The component mounting device according to claim 1 , wherein

the flexible section is configured to bend so as not to protrude beyond a specified region of the space on the rear side of the X-axis slider of the XY robot.

4. The component mounting device according to claim 3 , wherein

the specified region overlaps a space surrounded by configuration members of the Y-axis slider of the XY robot.
