And a mounting portion provided on the other side of the both sides of the substrate transport conveyor 3 to which at least one of the plurality of tape feeders 7 can be mounted.

  Making the gantry 2 of the component mounting apparatus 1 as described above has the following technical significance. That is, in a production facility configured by arranging a plurality of facilities in parallel, such as a component mounting facility, it is strongly required to reduce the size of the facility in order to improve area productivity. Therefore, it is required that the width dimensions B1 and B2 of the first frame 21 and the second frame 22 shown in FIG.

  In the frame structure in which the first frame 21 and the second frame 22 having the reduced width dimensions B1 and B2 are arranged in parallel, as shown in the present embodiment, the other side is connected by the connecting member 24 to form a frame structure. By doing so, the rigidity of the entire gantry 2 can be increased. Therefore, in the component mounting operation performed by driving the head moving mechanism 14, it is possible to secure the rigidity of the gantry 2 while reducing the size of the equipment and to suppress a decrease in component mounting accuracy due to the influence of vibration. it can.

  Next, the configuration and operation of the cutter 18 provided in the component supply unit 5B will be described with reference to FIG. A cutter 18 is provided below the mounting section shown in FIG. The cutter 18 has a function of cutting the carrier tape 9a discharged from the tape feeder 7 mounted on the mounting section.

  As shown in FIG. 4A, the cutter 18 has a fixed blade 30 fixed inside the housing 18 a and a movable blade 31 that advances and retreats with respect to the fixed blade 30 by the cylinder 32. The configuration is as follows. A tape guide 11a for guiding the carrier tape 9a discharged from the tape feeder 7 of the component supply unit 5B is inserted into the housing 18a. An opening 19a communicating with the duct 19 is provided on the bottom surface of the housing 18a.

  As shown in FIG. 4B, when the component supply is performed by the tape feeder 7 in the component supply unit 5B, the carrier tape 9a from which the components have been removed is guided into the housing 18a by the tape guide 11a. When the movable blade 31 is reciprocated by driving the cylinder 32 in this state (arrow a), the carrier tape 9a becomes tape dust 9a * cut into small pieces. Then, the tape dust 9a * falls into the duct 19 (arrow b), and is guided by the duct 19 to the collection unit 11c provided on the reel carriage 11.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 5, the reel bogie connecting portion 34 provided on the other side of the gantry 2 will be described. The reel bogie connection portion 34 is connected to a reel bogie 11 capable of storing a reel 8 for supplying the carrier tape 9 to a tape feeder 7 mounted on a feeder base 10 serving as a mounting portion. It is provided in.

  As shown in FIG. 5A, a reel bogie connection portion 34 for connecting the reel bogie 11 is provided on the other side surface of the gantry 2.

On the side surface of the gantry 2, near the reel bogie connection portion 34, there is provided a reel bogie switch 33 as a detecting portion for detecting that the reel bogie 11 is connected to the reel bogie connection portion 34.

  The reel truck switch 33 is a mechanical switch having a probe 33a, and emits a detection signal when an object to be detected contacts the probe 33a. That is, here, a switch that mechanically detects that the reel bogie 11 is connected is used as the detection unit, and more reliable detection without erroneous detection is ensured.

  As shown in FIG. 5B, when the reel carriage 11 is moved closer to the gantry 2 (arrow c) and the connection end 11b is fitted to the reel carriage connection part 34, the probe 33a is moved by the reel carriage 11 approached. Pushed. As a result, the reel truck switch 33, which is a detecting unit, mechanically detects that the reel truck 11 is connected, and this detection signal is transmitted to the control unit 40 shown in FIG. Then, the control unit 40 controls the operation of the cutter 18 based on the detection result.

  In the present embodiment, when the reel truck switch 33 serving as the detecting unit detects that the reel truck 11 is connected to the gantry 2, the operation of the cutter 18 serving as the cutting unit is permitted. Thereby, an unsafe state due to the operation of the cutter 18 in a state where the reel carriage 11 is removed from the gantry 2, that is, a danger caused by a worker entering the gantry 2 with his / her hand and touching the operating cutter 18 is avoided. To prevent it. Further, there is an advantage that the scattering of the tape dust 9a * due to the operation of the cutter 18 in a state where the collection unit 11c of the reel carriage 11 is removed can be prevented.

  The above-mentioned unsafe condition can be improved by extending the length of the duct 19 for guiding the tape dust 9a * cut by the cutter 18, but in this case, the duct 19 is extended to the outside of the gantry 2. It is not preferable because the workability at the time of the type change operation is reduced.

  Next, a configuration of a control system of the component mounting apparatus 1 will be described with reference to FIG. 6, the control unit 40 includes an implementation processing unit 41, a recognition processing unit 42, a disconnection processing unit 43, and a display processing unit 44 as internal processing functions. The mounting processing unit 41 controls the operations of the respective components of the substrate transport conveyor 3, the mounting head 15, the head moving mechanism 14, the component supply unit 5A, and the component supply unit 5B by controlling the mechanism driving unit 45. Thus, a component mounting operation of mounting components taken out from the component supply unit 5A and the component supply unit 5B on the board 4 positioned and held on the board transport conveyor 3 is performed.

  In this component mounting operation, the recognition processing unit 42 performs a recognition process on the image pickup results obtained by the component recognition camera 17 and the board recognition camera 16. That is, the position of the substrate 4 is recognized by performing the recognition processing of the image pickup result by the substrate recognition camera 16. In addition, by performing recognition processing of the image pickup result by the component recognition camera 17, the identification and displacement of the component held by the mounting head 15 are detected. When components are mounted by the mounting head 15, the head moving mechanism 14 is controlled in consideration of these recognition results.

  The cutting processing unit 43 controls the cutting operation by the cutter 18 by controlling the cutter driving unit 46. In this control, the operation of the cutter 18 as a cutting unit is controlled based on the detection result of the reel bogie switch 33 as a detecting unit. That is, when the reel truck switch 33 detects that the reel truck 11 has been connected, the operation of the cutter 18 is permitted. This prevents the above-described inconvenience caused by the operation of the cutter 18 when the reel carriage 11 is detached from the gantry 2. The fact that the reel cart 11 has been removed from the gantry 2 is displayed on the display panel 26 by the display processing unit 44.
