Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A component mounting device which improves pickup accuracy of a component without delaying cycle time. A feeder which is capable of continuously feeding a first carrier tape and a second carrier tape to a component supply position without splicing, identification device for imaging a component which is a first component after switching from the first carrier tape to the second carrier tape using the imaging device and identifying a center position of the component before picking up the component, and correction control device for subjecting the X-axis slide to positional correction based on the identification carried out by the identification device such that the suction nozzle picks up the component at the center of the component.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A component mounting device, comprising: a feeder which is detachably mounted to a base and that continuously feeds a first carrier tape and a second carrier tape to a component supply position without splicing; a moving body capable of moving in an XY plane in relation to the base; a component mounting head which is supported by the moving body and holds a suction nozzle which picks up a component which is supplied to the component supply position; an imaging device which is supported by the moving body and images the component which is supplied to the component supply position; an identification device that identifies a position of a component which is a first component of the second carrier tape when the first carrier tape is switched to the second carrier tape before picking up the component based on the imaging of the component by the imaging device; and a correction control device that determines a positional correction of the moving body based on the position of the component identified by the identification device and corrects a position of the moving body in accordance with the positional correction such that the suction nozzle picks up the component at the identified position of the component. 2. The component mounting device according to claim 1 , further comprising: a detection sensor which detects an end of the first carrier tape and a beginning of the second carrier tape, wherein an imaging start command is output to the imaging device when the second carrier tape has been fed by a fixed amount from a switching position detected by the detection sensor. 3. The component mounting device according to claim 1 , wherein the identification device also identifies a midway component of the second carrier tape which is a component at a midway position of the second carrier tape and to identify a position of the midway component and the correction control device determines the positional correction of the moving body based on the identified position of the midway component.
