Abstract

Template is a plate-like template used for confirming whether a pair of claws will interfere with another component around mounting position when the pair of claws clamp electronic component and mounts an electronic component on board. In electronic component clamping device, distance between the pair of claws, when the pair of claws is in the opened position, can be selected from multiple distances in accordance with the size of electronic component. Template includes first region having width corresponding to a selected distance between the pair of claws when the pair of claws is in the opened position.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A template used in an electronic component clamping device, the electronic clamping device including a pair of claws configured to contact a pair of side faces of an electronic component to be mounted on a board and clamp the electronic component; and a moving mechanism configured to move the pair of claws to a first position for clamping the electronic component and a second position for releasing the electronic component; the template comprising:
multiple plate-like templates provided to correspond to the multiple distances between the pair of claws and used in confirming whether the pair of claws will interfere with another component around a mounting position when the pair of claws clamps the electronic component and mounts the electronic component on the board, wherein, in the electronic component clamping device, a distance between the pair of claws when the pair of claws is in the second position can be selected from multiple distances in accordance with the size of the electronic component; and
a first region which has a width corresponding to the selected distance between the pair of claws when the pair of claws is in the second position, the first region being provided on each of the multiple plate-like templates corresponding to the selected distances between the pair of claws from among the multiple distances.

2. The template for an electronic component clamping device according to claim 1 , wherein the electronic component clamping device further comprises an adjacent portion located above the pair of claws in a range adjacent to the pair of claws, and the template corresponding to the selected distance further comprises a second region which is located at a position corresponding to the adjacent portion in a range adjacent to the first region.

3. The template for an electronic component clamping device according to claim 2 , wherein the first region and the second region are indicated in color, and a lightness of color of the first region and a lightness of color of the second region are different.

4. The template for an electronic component clamping device according to claim 2 , wherein the electronic component clamping device further comprises a peripheral portion located above the adjacent portion in a range surrounding the pair of claws and the adjacent portion, and the template corresponding to the selected distance further comprises a third region which is located at a position corresponding to the peripheral portion around the first region and the second region.

5. The template for an electronic component clamping device according to claim 4 , wherein the third region is indicated in color, and the lightness of the color of the first region, the lightness of the color of the second region, and a lightness of color of the third region are different from each other.

6. A confirmation method for confirming whether a pair of claws interferes with another component around a mounting position when the pair of claws clamps and mounts an electronic component on a board using a plate-like template in an electronic component clamping device including the pair of claws configured to contact a pair of side faces of the electronic component to be mounted on the board and clamp the electronic component, and a moving mechanism configured to move the pair of claws to a first position for clamping the electronic component and a second position for releasing the electronic component;
wherein multiple plate-like templates are provided to correspond to the multiple distances between the pair of claws and are used in confirming whether the pair of claws will interfere with another component around a mounting position when the pair of claws clamps the electronic component and mounts the electronic component on the board, wherein, in the electronic component clamping device, a distance between the pair of claws when the pair of claws is in the second position can be selected from multiple distances in accordance with the size of the electronic component, the multiple plate-like templates having a first region which has a width corresponding to the selected distance between the pair of claws when the pair of claws is in the second position, the first region being provided on each of the multiple plate-like templates corresponding to the selected distances between the pair of claws from among the multiple distances
the confirmation method comprising:
a step of superimposing the template corresponding to the selected distance with the board on which the electronic component is mounted,
a step of confirming whether the pair of claws interfere with another component around the mounting position based on the first region of the template.
