Abstract

A chuck main body type and claw type deciding table and a pusher type deciding table are memorized in advance, information related to a leaded component such as component size, lead pitch, lead diameter, and component form is acquired, a combination of the chuck main body type and the claw type is searched from the chuck main body type and claw type deciding table using the acquired component size, lead pitch, lead diameter, and the like as search terms, the pusher is searched from the pusher type deciding table using the acquired component form or the like as a search term, and the search results are displayed. By this, it is possible to automatically select a tool made from a combination of multiple configuration members.

First claim

1 . A tool searching device, which is used when gripping a leaded component and mounting the leaded component on a board by using a tool formed from multiple configuration members, for searching for the configuration member or a combination of the configuration members appropriate for gripping or mounting the leaded component on the board, the tool searching device comprising:
a memory section configured to memorize multiple configuration member information related to each of the multiple configuration members, linked to size-related information that relates to a size of a component main body of the leaded component or lead-related information that relates to a lead of the leaded component; an acquiring section configured to acquire the size-related information or the lead-related information, a search section configured to search the configuration member or the combination of the configuration members from the memory section using the acquired size-related information or the acquired lead-related information as a search term; and an output section configured to output a search result.

2 . The tool searching device according to claim 1 , wherein
the configuration members include at least one of a tool main body, and a claw attached to the tool main body and capable of performing a gripping action, the memory section memorizes tool main body information related to the tool main body and claw information related to the claw as the multiple configuration member information, linked to the size-related information or the lead-related information, and the search section searches for the tool main body information or the claw information or a combination of the tool main body information and the claw information using the acquired size-related information or the acquired lead-related information as the search term.

3 . The tool searching device according to claim 2 , wherein
the configuration members further include a pushing member attached to the tool main body and configured to push a component upper surface of the leaded component, the memory section is further configured to memorize pusher member-related information related to the pusher member as the multiple configuration members, linked to upper-surface-form-related information related to an upper surface form of the leaded component, the acquiring section is configured to further acquire the upper-surface-form-related information, and the search section is configured to search the tool main body information, the claw information or the pushing member information, or a combination of the tool main body information and the claw information or the pushing member information, using the acquired size-related information or the acquired lead-related information and the upper-surface-form-related information as the search term.

4 . The tool searching device according to claim 3 , wherein
the tool is configured to grip a leaded component supplied by a component supply device, the memory section memorizes attachment-height-related information related to an attachment height when attaching the pushing member to the tool main body, linked to supply-height-related-related information related to a supply height when the leaded component is supplied, the acquiring section is configured to further acquire the supply-height-related information, and the search section is configured to search the tool main body information, the claw information, the pushing member information, or the attachment-height-related information, or a combination thereof, using the acquired size-related information or the acquired lead-related information, the upper-surface-form-related information, and the supply-height-related information as the search term.

5 . The tool searching device according to claim 1 , wherein
the memory section is configured to, corresponding to each of the combinations of the configuration member information, memorize tool identification information for identifying the tools that make up the combination, and the output section outputs the multiple configuration member information combination searched by the search section, and the tool identification information corresponding to the combination.
