Abstract

A coordinate data generation device is used in a component mounter configured to perform processing for mounting electronic components on boards of different dimensions by imaging the board that is controlled to be conveyed and stopped at a target position and performing the mounting of the electronic components after correcting for a deviation between a stopping position of the board identified from an image captured by the imaging and a target position, and specifies an imaging region for imaging the board stopped at the stopping position.

Claims (22)

1. A coordinate data generation device used by a component mounter configured to perform processing for mounting electronic components on boards of different dimensions by imaging the board that is controlled to be conveyed and stopped at a target position and performing the mounting of the electronic components after correcting for a deviation between a stopping position of the board identified from an image captured by the imaging and a target position, the coordinate data generation device used being configured to specify an imaging region for when performing the imaging of the board stopped at the stopping position, and the coordinate data generation device comprising:

a target position information input section configured to receive an input of information related to the target position that is set shared between the boards of different dimensions for which handling is possible by the component mounter;

a board information input section configured to receive input of board information including a dimension of the board in a first direction parallel to a conveyance direction of the board, and a dimension of the board in a second direction perpendicular to the conveyance direction; and

a coordinate data generation section configured to generate coordinate data such that an edge of the board is within the imaging region based on the information related to the target position, the dimension of the board in the first direction, and the dimension of the board in the second direction, wherein

the board information also includes arrangement positions of support pins configured to support the stopped board and arrangement positions of lands formed on the board, and

the coordinate data generation section is configured to generate the coordinate data such that the support pins and the lands are not positioned within the imaging region based on the arrangement positions of the support pins and the arrangement positions of the lands.

2. The coordinate data generation device according to claim 1 , wherein

a position detection mark is provided on an imaging surface of the board, and the coordinate data generation section is configured to generate the coordinate data such that, among edges of the board that form an outline of the board, the edge for which the distance from the position detection mark is shortest is included in the imaging region.

3. A coordinate data generation device used by a component mounter configured to perform processing for mounting electronic components on boards of different dimensions by imaging the board that is controlled to be conveyed and stopped at a target position and performing the mounting of the electronic components after correcting for a deviation between a stopping position of the board identified from an image captured by the imaging and a target position, the coordinate data generation device used being configured to specify an imaging region for when performing the imaging of the board stopped at the stopping position, and the coordinate data generation device comprising:

a target position information input section configured to receive an input of information related to the target position that is set shared between the boards of different dimensions for which handling is possible by the component mounter;

a board information input section configured to receive input of board information including a dimension of the board in a first direction parallel to a conveyance direction of the board, and a dimension of the board in a second direction perpendicular to the conveyance direction; and

a coordinate data generation section configured to generate coordinate data such that an edge of the board is within the imaging region based on the information related to the target position, the dimension of the board in the first direction, and the dimension of the board in the second direction, wherein

the coordinate data generation section is configured to generate the coordinate data such that a position at a center in the second direction of the edge that is a front edge of the board in the first direction when the board is positioned at the target position is at center coordinates of the imaging region.

4. The coordinate data generation device according to claim 3 , wherein

the board information also includes arrangement positions of support pins configured to support the stopped board and arrangement positions of lands formed on the board, and

the coordinate data generation device is provided with a reporting section configured to, when it is determined that at least one of the support pins or the lands is positioned within the imaging region that is specified by the coordinate data generation section, report that the at least one of the support pins or the lands is positioned within the imaging region.

5. A coordinate data generation method used by a component mounter configured to perform processing for mounting electronic components on boards of different dimensions by imaging the board that is controlled to be conveyed and stopped at a target position and performing the mounting of the electronic components after correcting for a deviation between a stopping position of the board identified from an image captured by the imaging and a target position, the coordinate data generation device used being configured to specify an imaging region for when performing the imaging of the board stopped at the stopping position, and the coordinate data generation method comprising:

a target position information input process of receiving an input of information related to the target position that is set shared between the boards of different dimensions for which handling is possible by the component mounter;

a board information input process of receiving input of board information including a dimension of the board in a first direction parallel to a conveyance direction of the board, and a dimension of the board in a second direction perpendicular to the conveyance direction; and

a first coordinate data generation process of generating coordinate data such that an edge of the board is within the imaging region based on the information related to the target position, the dimension of the board in the first direction, and the dimension of the board in the second direction, wherein

the board information also includes arrangement positions of support pins configured to support the stopped board and arrangement positions of lands formed on the board, and

the coordinate data generation method further includes a second coordinate generation process of, when it is determined that at least one of the support pins or the lands is positioned within the imaging region that is specified by the first coordinate data generation process, generating the coordinate data such that the support pins and the lands are not positioned within the imaging region based on the arrangement positions of the support pins and the arrangement positions of the lands.
