Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A component mounting machine includes a part camera in which a suction nozzle for sucking a component P and a fiducial mark are provided on a head, a sub-lens is installed in a visual field of a lens, the component is imaged through a main lens, and it is possible to image the fiducial mark through the lens and the sub-lens. Distortion correction values of the main lens portion are measured, distortion correction values of the sub-lens portion are measured, and the distortion correction values are stored in advance as a distortion correction table. During component mounting, when the component P which is sucked by the suction nozzle and the fiducial mark are imaged at the same time by the part camera, the obtained image is corrected using the distortion correction table, and a suction state of the component P is detected based on the corrected image.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 . A component holding state detection method in which an imaging means is configured to have a first imaging region in which an object forms an image on an image sensor through a first lens and a second imaging region in which an object forms an image on the image sensor through the first lens and a second lens, a component is held using a holding member attached to a head, the component held by the holding member is imaged in the first imaging region and a fiducial mark which is provided on the head is imaged in the second imaging region such that the component and the fiducial marks are imaged at the same time, and a holding state of the component held by the holding member is detected based on an image which is obtained by the imaging, the method comprising: before determining the holding state, imaging a distortion measurement object in the first imaging region, measuring and storing a distortion value of the first imaging region based on an image which is obtained by the imaging, imaging a distortion measurement object in the second imaging region, and measuring and storing a distortion value of the second imaging region based on an image which is obtained by the imaging; when the component is held by the holding member, imaging the component and the fiducial mark by the imaging means, correcting an image obtained by the imaging of the component in the first imaging region, based on the stored distortion value of the first imaging region, and correcting an image obtained by the imaging of the fiducial mark in the second imaging region, based on the stored distortion value of the second imaging region; and detecting the holding state of the component held by the holding member based on the corrected image. 2 . The component holding state detection method according to claim 1 , wherein the method includes, before the holding state is determined, installing a first distortion measurement object as the distortion measurement object, imaging the first distortion measurement object in the first imaging region, measuring and storing the distortion value of the first imaging region based on an image which is obtained by the imaging, installing a second distortion measurement object which differs from the first distortion measurement object as the distortion measurement object, imaging the second distortion measurement object in the second imaging region, and measuring and storing the distortion value of the second imaging region based on an image which is obtained through the imaging. 3 . The component holding state detection method according to claim 2 , wherein the method includes, configuring the first distortion measurement object with a pattern in which a plurality of features are arranged in a matrix, and configuring the second distortion measurement object with a pattern in which a plurality of features are arranged in a matrix at a different pitch from the first distortion measurement object. 4 . A component mounting machine which mounts a component on a board, the machine comprising: a head to which a holding member that holds the component is attached and which is provided with a fiducial mark; a movement means for moving the head; an imaging means which includes a first imaging region in which an object forms an image on an image sensor through a first lens and a second imaging region in which an object forms an image on the image sensor through the first lens and a second lens and is capable of imaging the component and the fiducial mark at the same time by imaging the component held by the holding member in the first imaging region and imaging the fiducial mark in the second imaging region; a holding state detection means for correcting an image obtained by the imaging in the first imaging region based on a first distortion value measured in advance in relation to the first imaging region, correcting an image obtained by the imaging in the second imaging region based on a second distortion value measured in advance in relation to the second imaging region, and detecting a holding state of the component held by the holding member based on the corrected image, when the component and the fiducial mark are imaged at the same time by the imaging means; and a mounting control means for controlling the movement means and the holding member such that the component is mounted on the board based on the determined holding state of the component.
