Apparatus and method of loading components
Provided is a component loading apparatus which includes: a work table comprising a working plane; a component recognizer configured to recognize components placed on the working plane of the work table; a head configured to suck the components; and a tray support for supporting a tray on which the components sucked by the head are loaded. The component loading apparatus further includes: an impurity remover configured to remove impurities attached onto the components in at least one of a first state of being placed on the working plane of the work table and a second state of being sucked by the head; and a tray analyzer configured to inspect loading positions of the components on the tray.
1. A component loading apparatus comprising:
a work table comprising a working plane, wherein the working plane is elastic such that a surface area thereof may be increased or decreased by extending or contracting the working plane;
a component recognizer configured to recognize components placed on the working plane of the work table; a rotary head configured to suck the components; and
a tray support for supporting a tray on which the components sucked by the rotary head are loaded.
2. The component loading of claim 1 , further comprising an impurity remover configured to remove impurities attached onto the components in at least one of a first state of being placed on the working plane of the work table and a second state of being sucked by the head.
3. The component loading apparatus of claim 2 , further comprising a tray analyzer configured to inspect loading positions of the components on the tray.
4. The component loading apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the impurity remover is configured to remove impurities attached onto the components in each of the first state and the second state.
5. The component loading apparatus of claim 4 , further comprising a tray analyzer configured to inspect loading positions of the components on the tray.
6. The component loading apparatus of claim 4 , wherein the impurity remover comprises:
a first impurity remover configured to remove impurities attached onto the components in the first state; and
a second impurity remover configured to remove impurities attached onto the components in the second state.
7. The component loading apparatus of claim 6 , further comprising a tray analyzer configured to inspect loading positions of the components on the tray.
8. The component loading apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising a component analyzer configured to inspect the components in at least one of a first state of being placed on the working plane of the work table and a second state of being sucked by the head.
9. The component loading apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the component analyzer is configured to inspect the components in each of the first state and the second state.
10. The component loading apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the component analyzer comprises:
a first component analyzer configured to inspect the components in the first state; and
a second component analyzer configured to inspect the components in the second state.
11. The component loading apparatus of claim 8 , further comprising an impurity remover configured to remove impurities attached onto the components in at least one of the first state and the second state.
12. The component loading apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the impurity remover comprises:
a first impurity remover configured to remove impurities attached onto the components in the first state; and a second impurity remover configured to remove impurities attached onto the components in the second state.
13. The component loading apparatus of claim 11 , further comprising a tray analyzer configured to inspect loading positions of the components on the tray.
