Abstract

A method of mounting a component on electrodes on a board. Mounting coordinates for mounting the component are calculated. A determination is made of printing positions where solders for the component is situated on the electrodes. The printing positions of the solders are stored. Mounting position data for where the component is to be mounted on the solders is prepared based on the previous steps. The component is mounted using the information gathered in the previous steps.

Claims (8)

1. A method of mounting a component on a board, said method comprising the steps of:

a) moving a board with a first electrode and a second electrode positioned on the board to a location based on intended mounting positions of the component,

b) locating a first printing position where a first solder for said component is situated on the first electrode,

c) locating a second printing position where a second solder for said component is situated on the second electrode

d) storing the printing positions of said first solder and said second solder in a memory;

e) locating where said component is to be mounted on said first and second electrodes based at least on said stored first and second printing positions of said first solder and said second solder; and

f) mounting said component under control of a CPU on said first and second electrodes at said first and second printing positions.

2. The method of mounting components according to claim 1 , wherein step e) includes the step of identifying a printing point based on a barycentric position of the first solder and the second solder situated on the first and second electrodes.
