Abstract

A standalone type reel holding device configured to be set separately to a component mounter provided with a component supply device, the component supply device including multiple feeder devices and a main-body-side reel holding section configured to hold multiple tape reels around in a rotatable and exchangeable manner, wherein the standalone type reel holding device holds separately-located tape reels different to the tape reels held by the main-body-side reel holding section in a rotatable and exchangeable manner, and supplies carrier tapes wound on the separately-located tape reels to the feeder devices. Thus, it is possible to increase the overall quantity of carrier tapes supplied to feeder devices from the main-body-side reel holding section and the standalone type reel holding device.

Claims (16)

1. A standalone type reel holding device configured to be set separately to a component mounter provided with a component supply device, the component supply device including multiple feeder devices configured to sequentially supply multiple components by feeding carrier tape in which the multiple components are held and a main-body-side reel holding section configured to hold multiple tape reels around which are wound the carrier tapes in a rotatable and exchangeable manner, the main-body-side reel holding section being provided separately to or integrated with the feeder device, the standalone type reel holding device comprising:

a bottom plate;

separately-located tape reels, different to the tape reels held by the main-body-side reel holding section, supported on the bottom plate in a rotatable and exchangeable manner, carrier tapes wound on the separately-located tape reels configured to be supplied to the feeder devices; and

casters on a bottom surface of the bottom plate configured to move the standalone type reel holding device on a floor relative to the component mounter.

2. The standalone type reel holding device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a stopper configured to restrict movement with respect to the floor.

3. The standalone type reel holding device according to claim 1 , wherein

the standalone type reel holding device is located separately under the main-body-side reel holding section.

4. The standalone type reel holding device according to claim 1 , wherein

the separately-located tape reel is used at the same time as the tape reel held by the main-body-side reel holding section.

5. The standalone type reel holding device according to claim 1 , wherein

the separately-located tape reel is used after the tape reel held by the main-body-side reel holding section, and, in a case in which the tape reel held by the main-body-side reel holding section is removed thereby creating a free reel holding position, the separately-located tape reel is moved to the free reel holding position.

6. The standalone type reel holding device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a pair of side plates extending from a top surface of the bottom plate, the separately-located tape reels mounted between the pair of side plates.

7. The standalone type reel holding device according to claim 6 , further comprising:

contact plates respectively extending rearward from the pair of the side plates, the contact plates configured to contact the component mounter.
