Abstract

A feeder device including a tape feeding mechanism which feeds out a carrier tape which stores components in corresponding multiple component storage sections and a cover tape which is adhered to the bottom tape and covers the component storage sections, and a tape peeling mechanism which includes a tape peeling blade which proceeds between the bottom tape and the cover tape as the carrier tape is fed out to perform peeling, the feeder device supplying the components from the component storage sections at a component supply position, and the feeder device further including a feed speed determination section which determines the feed speed at a peeling start time at which a leading end of the carrier tape comes into contact with the tape peeling blade according to at least one of properties of multiple types of carrier tape and characteristics of the components which are stored.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A feeder device, comprising:
a tape feeding mechanism configured to feed out, at a feed speed, a carrier tape which includes a bottom tape which stores components in corresponding multiple component storage sections and a cover tape which is adhered to the bottom tape and covers the component storage sections, the feeder device supplying the components from the component storage sections at a component supply position;
a tape peeling mechanism which includes a tape peeling blade configured to peel at least a portion of the cover tape from the bottom tape as the carrier tape is fed out; and
a feed speed determination section configured to determine the feed speed at a peeling start time at which a leading end of the carrier tape comes into contact with the tape peeling blade according to a determination of at least one of a type of carrier tape fed to the component supply position and a type of the components stored in the component storage sections.

2. The feeder device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the feed speed determination section uses a predetermined feed speed until a leading end of the carrier tape reaches a deceleration start position in front of the tape peeling blade and decelerates the predetermined feed speed to a feed speed at the peeling start time in the space of time in which the leading end of the carrier tape proceeds from the deceleration start position to the tape peeling blade.

3. A component mounting machine, comprising:
the feeder device according to claim 1 ;
a component transfer device which includes a mounting head which has a suction nozzle configured to suck the components at the component supply position and configured to mount the components onto a board;
a head driving mechanism which drives the mounting head;
a peeling start determination section configured to determine whether or not the tape peeling blade enters between the bottom tape and the cover tape and whether the peeling is started; and
a recovery function section configured to carry out a recovery operation of once returning the leading end of the carrier tape to in front of the tape peeling blade and feeding out the leading end of the carrier tape again in a case in which the peeling start determination section determines that the peeling is not started.

4. The component mounting machine according to claim 3 ,
wherein the peeling start determination section includes
a camera which is provided on the mounting head and configured to image a position fiducial mark of the board, and
an image determination section which moves the camera in a range from the tape peeling blade to the component supply position, images the carrier tape, subjects the captured image to an image processing, and determines whether or not the peeling is started.

5. The component mounting machine according to claim 3 ,
wherein in the recovery function section, a recovery feed speed at a time at which the leading end of the carrier tape comes into contact with the tape peeling blade again is included in recovery implementation conditions which are changeable, and
wherein the recovery function section includes a recovery speed determination section which progressively slows the recovery feed speed from the feed speed at the peeling start time every time that the peeling start determination section determines that the peeling is not started.

6. The component mounting machine according to claim 5 ,
wherein the feed speed determination section sets a recovery feed speed at the time at which the peeling start determination section determines that the peeling is started to a feed speed of the peeling start time of the next carrier tape of the same type.
