Abstract

A component supply device that images stage on which multiple leaded components are supported in a scattered state, and holds a component supported on the stage using a component holding tool based on the image data, wherein multiple stages of different colors are prepared, and a stage from among the multiple stages a stage with a color different to a component that is planned to be supplied is removably attached to component support member. By this, for example, in a case in which a component planned to be supplied is white, by attaching a black stage to the component support section, due to the contrast between the background and the target object, it is possible to clearly recognize the white component supported on the black stage.

First claim

1 . A component supply device comprising:
a component support section including a stage configured to support multiple components in a scattered state; an imaging device configured to image a component supported on the stage; and a component holding tool configured to hold the component supported on the stage, based on the image data imaged by the imaging device; wherein multiple types of the stage are prepared, and a given stage out of the multiple types of the stages is removably attached to the component support section.

2 . The component supply device according to claim 1 , wherein
the multiple types of the stages have a supporting surface configured to support the component, the supporting surface of each of the multiple stages being a different color.

3 . The component supply device according to claim 1 , wherein
the multiple types of the stages have a supporting surface configured to support the component, the supporting surface of each of the multiple stages being a different shape.

4 . The component supply device according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a control device, the control device including a memory section configured to link a specific stage of the multiple types of stages and a component according to the specific stage; an acquisition section configured to acquire component information that is capable of specifying the components scattered on the specific stage; and a first reporting section configured to report the specific stage memorized in the memory device linked to the specified component by the component information acquired by the acquisition section.

5 . A component supply device according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a control section, the control section including a calculating section configured to calculate a recognition rate that is a ratio of recognizable states of the components with respect to the components supported on the stage based on the image data imaged by the imaging device, and a second reporting section configured to report information indicating a low recognition rate when the recognition rate calculated by the calculating section is lower than a threshold.
