  That is, as the storage tape C is fed, in the case of the seamless storage tape C, the light from the light emitting element 102A is recursively reflected by the prism 105 via the feed holes (opened at intervals of 4 millimeters) Cb. Since the light is received by the light receiving element 102B, the joint detection device 102 can detect the absence of a joint, and in the case of the storage tape C having a joint, the light from the light emitting element 102A covers the feed hole Cb in accordance with the feeding operation. And is not received by the light receiving element 102B, and the presence of a seam is detected (see FIGS. 8 and 9).

  The connecting tape 108A is for connecting the old storage tape C and the new storage tape C whose number of electronic components is reduced together with the connection tapes 108B and 108C.

  Next, a control block diagram of the electronic component mounting apparatus shown in FIG. 10 will be described. 110 is a CPU as a control unit that performs overall control of operations related to electronic component mounting of the electronic component mounting apparatus, 111 is a RAM (random access memory) as a storage device, and 112 is a ROM (read-only memory). ).

  The RAM 111 is mounted for each type of printed circuit board P such as X direction, Y direction and angle information in the printed circuit board P, and arrangement number information of each component supply unit 6 for each mounting order (for each step number). Data is stored, and information on the type (component ID) of each electronic component corresponding to the arrangement number (lane number) of each component supply unit 6, that is, component arrangement information is stored. Furthermore, component library data composed of items representing the characteristics of the electronic component for each component ID is also stored.

  Then, the CPU 110 comprehensively controls operations related to the component mounting operation of the electronic component mounting apparatus according to the program stored in the ROM 112 based on the data stored in the RAM 111. That is, the CPU 110 rotates the X-axis drive motor 12X through the drive circuit 113, drives the Y-axis drive motor 12Y through the drive circuit 114, and rotates the suction nozzle 18 by θ through the drive circuit 115. The driving of the θ-axis motor 18A is controlled, and the driving of the vertical-axis motor 16A for moving the mounting head 16 up and down is further controlled via the drive circuit 116.

  A recognition processing device 117 is connected to the CPU 110 via the interface 118, and includes a CPU 117A that executes recognition processing, a RAM 117B that stores data for recognition processing, and a ROM (not shown) that stores a program for recognition processing. ing. The recognition processing device 117 performs recognition processing of an image captured by the component recognition camera 14 or the board recognition camera 17 and sends the processing result to the CPU 110. That is, the CPU 110 outputs an instruction to the recognition processing device 117 so as to perform recognition processing (calculation of misalignment amount, etc.) on the image captured by the component recognition camera 14 or the board recognition camera 17 and recognizes the recognition processing result. It is received from the device 117.

  That is, when the amount of positional deviation is grasped by the recognition processing of the recognition processing device 117, the result is sent to the CPU 110, and the CPU 110 detects the X axis drive motor 12X, the Y axis motor 12Y and the suction nozzle 18 of the XY stage 12. The θ-axis motor 18A is corrected and moved so that the electronic component is mounted on the printed circuit board P.

  The monitor 119A as a display device is provided with various touch panel switches 119B as input means for data setting. The operator can perform various settings by operating the touch panel switch 119B. Stored in 109A is a counter provided for each component supply unit 6, and counts the number of times the storage tape C is fed (the number of feed commands by the CPU 110) after the joint detection device 102 detects the connecting tape 108A. It should be noted that when the seam detection device 102 detects the seam, the number of times of feeding until the electronic component at the seam reaches the suction / extraction position of the electronic part is required N times. A counter 109B is provided for each component supply unit 6 and counts the number of suction mistakes. The presence or absence of electronic components sucked and held by the suction nozzle 18 is detected by the line sensor 109C provided on the mounting head 16 or by component recognition processing. Then, the number of consecutive absence states or poor adsorption states is counted. Although the counters 109A and 109B are provided for each component supply unit 6, only one is shown in FIG. 10 for convenience.

  A connector 130 is connected to the CPU 110 via an interface 118, and includes an electronic component mounting device side connector 130A and a component supply unit side connector 130B that can be attached to and detached from the electronic component mounting device side connector 130B. The servo motor 28 and the drive motor 42 are connected via 131. The connector 130, the drive circuit 131, the servo motor 28, and the drive motor 42 are provided for each component supply unit 6, but only one is shown in FIG. 10 for convenience.

  Next, electronic component suction and mounting operations will be described based on the flowchart of FIG. First, the CPU 110 sends a command to the component supply unit 6 that supplies the electronic component having the first step number in the mounting order of the mounting data (data on which position on the printed circuit board, in which direction and which electronic component is mounted). The CPU 110 drives the servo motor 28 and the drive motor 42 of the component supply unit 6 to perform the component feeding operation and the cover tape Ca peeling operation.

  In this way, the electronic component 145 in the storage portion Cc is supplied to the suction / extraction position by the feeding operation of the storage tape C.

  Thereafter, the CPU 110 determines whether the component supply unit 6 has been inserted or removed from the feeder base 19 regardless of the reason.

  That is, when an operator first operates an operation unit (not shown) of the electronic component mounting apparatus, the CPU 110 operates the lock cylinder 93 to pull in the rod 93A, and the second lock member 95 is used as the fulcrum 94 as a fulcrum. The lock lever 95A at the other end of the second lock member 95 is separated from the second lock portion 89B of the lock member 89, and the lock member 89 is rotated counterclockwise. Ready for Therefore, for example, when the operator puts the thumb on the rotatable unlocking lever 79 and puts another finger in the handle 77 and pulls the thumb, the unlocking lever 79 rotates clockwise with the support shaft 78 as a fulcrum. Then, the unlocking member 81 rotates clockwise, and the contact portion 81A pushes up the guide portion 89C of the locking member 89 against the urging force of the coil spring 90, and rotates the locking member 89 counterclockwise. Since the roller 92A is released from the first locking portion 89A (the locking is released), the operator pulls the component supply unit 6 in the forward direction with the handle 77, so that the guide member 70 is covered. The guide member 71 can move forward while being guided, and the component supply unit 6 can be removed from the feeder base 19. Then, the operator can attach the component supply unit 6 to the feeder base 19 by holding the handle 77 and moving the component supply unit 6 in the depth direction while the guided member 71 is guided by the guide member 70.

  At this time, when removing the component supply unit 6 from the feeder base 19, the electronic component mounting device side connector 130A and the component supply unit side connector 130B are disconnected, and when mounting the component supply unit 6 to the feeder base 19, the electronic component mounting is performed. The device-side connector 130A and the component supply unit-side connector 130B need to be coupled. However, since the CPU 110 constantly monitors the component supply unit 6, depending on the state of signals input from the component supply unit 6 via the interface 118 The CPU 110 can determine whether the component supply unit 6 has been inserted or removed from the feeder base 19.

Therefore, when it is determined whether the component has been inserted or removed, the substrate recognition camera 14 is moved by storing the X-axis drive motor 12X and the Y-axis drive motor 12Y to the suction extraction position (component extraction position) of the component supply unit 6 that has been inserted or removed. The storage unit Cc of the tape C is imaged, and the recognition processing device 117 performs recognition processing.


When performing this recognition processing, the size data (dimension data) of the storage unit Cc having a rectangular shape in plan view, that is, the size of the four sides of the periphery of the storage unit Cc and the interval between the two opposing sides are stored in the RAM 117B. . Then, the distance between the sides of the storage unit Cc subjected to the recognition processing, the interval between the peripheral edge of the storage unit Cc and the electronic component stored in the storage unit Cc, and the edge of the electronic component are stored in the RAM 117B. The size of the storage portion Cc is compared, and the periphery of the storage portion Cc is distinguished from the outer edge of the electronic component based on the result.

  Hereinafter, a method for determining the four sides, which are the peripheral edges of the storage portion Cc, will be described based on the flowcharts of FIGS. 11, 12, 13, 14, and 15. In the RAM 117B, the horizontal and vertical dimensions (for example, 0.6 mm and 0.3 mm) of the electronic component and the horizontal and vertical dimensions (for example, 0.7 mm and 0.4 mm) of the storage unit Cc are stored in advance. Is remembered.

  When the board recognition camera 14 images the storage portion Cc of the storage tape C, an imaging result as shown in the figure is obtained. Then, the CPU 117A in the recognition processing device 117 executes recognition processing based on the imaging result. First, for example, the CPU 117A is preset in a direction (hereinafter referred to as X direction) orthogonal to the tape feeding direction indicated by an arrow A in the figure. Scanning from the left to the right in FIG. 12 of the central portion of the storage portion Cc (which may be shifted from the center of the captured storage portion Cc), which is the position stored as data in the RAM 117B, changes the brightness. Is detected. At this time, the CPU 117A first starts from a portion where the lightness of the surface around the storage portion Cc on the storage tape C is high (for example, a bright portion imaged white) to a portion where the lightness of the storage portion Cc is low (the left edge of the storage portion Cc and the electronic component) 145, which is the part of the gap with the left edge of 145, for example, the intersection 1 of the leftmost line 151 and the scanning line is detected as a brightness change point to a dark part such as gray. Next, the CPU 117A intersects the line 152 and the scanning line as a brightness change point from the storage portion Cc on the right line 152 of the line 151 to the side surface of the electronic component 145 (for example, a bright portion imaged whitish). 2 is detected. Similarly, the CPU 117A sets the intersection 3 of the line 153 and the scanning line as a brightness change point to the central surface 147 (for example, a dark part imaged in gray) of the electronic component 145 on the line 153 on the right of the line 152. To detect.

  Next, the CPU 117A intersects the line 154 and the scanning line as a brightness change point from the storage portion Cc on the right line 154 of the line 153 to the right side surface of the electronic component 145 (for example, a bright portion imaged whitish). 4 is detected. Further, the CPU 117A detects the intersection 5 of the line 155 and the scanning line as a brightness change point on the central surface 147 of the electronic component 145 (for example, a dark part imaged in gray) on the right line 155 of the line 154. To do. Next, the CPU 117A detects 6 where the intersection of the line 156 and the scanning line is detected as a brightness change point from the storage portion Cc on the right line 156 of the line 155 to the high lightness portion on the surface of the storage tape around it. .

  FIG. 14 shows a diagram of brightness change at the brightness change location detected as described above. Next, the CPU 117A changes the brightness in a direction orthogonal to the tape feeding direction in the storage unit Cc stored in advance in the RAM 117B. When the brightness change at the intersection point 1 detected as described above is compared and the brightness change state is equal, the leftmost intersection point 1 is used as a reference, and the intersection point 1 to the right intersection point Are compared with the size data in the X direction of the storage unit Cc stored in the RAM 111 in advance.

  That is, the CPU 117A obtains the detected brightness change (bright → dark) at the leftmost intersection 1 and the brightness change data (bright → dark) of the left end in the X direction in the storage unit Cc stored in the RAM 117B. If the two match, the detected intersection 1 is determined as the left end of the storage portion Cc in the X direction, and the line 151 is determined as the left edge of the storage portion Cc. Next, in order to determine the right end portion in the X direction of the storage unit Cc, the CPU 117A detects the change in brightness at the right intersection point 2, the intersection point 3, the intersection point 4, the intersection point 5, and the intersection point 6, and the RAM 117B. The stored brightness change data in the X direction in the storage portion Cc are sequentially compared. That is, at the intersection 2, the brightness change is dark → light, whereas the brightness change data stored in the RAM 117 </ b> B is dark → light, and the brightness change states match. As described above, when the brightness changes match, the CPU 117A compares the dimension L1 between the intersection 1 and the intersection 2 with the X-direction dimension data of the storage unit Cc stored in the RAM in advance. Therefore, it is determined that the intersection 2 is not the right end portion of the storage portion Cc. Next, the CPU 117A compares light → dark, which is the change in lightness at the intersection 3, and dark → light, which is data of the lightness change at the right end stored in the RAM 117B, and the change in lightness is different. Therefore, it is determined that the intersection 3 is not the right end portion of the storage portion Cc.

  Next, the CPU 117A compares the lightness change at the intersection 4 with dark → light and the lightness change data stored in the RAM 117B with dark → light. Further, the CPU 117A further compares the dimension L2 between the intersection point 1 and the intersection point 4 with the X-direction dimension data of the storage portion Cc stored in the RAM in advance, so that the intersection point is clearly different. It is determined that round 4 is not the right end portion of the storage portion Cc.

  Next, the CPU 117A compares lightness → darkness, which is a change in lightness at the intersection 5, and dark → light, which is data of the lightness change in the right end portion stored in the RAM 117B. Therefore, it is determined that the intersection circle 5 is not the right end portion of the storage portion Cc.

  Next, the CPU 117A compares the lightness change at the intersection 6 with dark → light and the lightness change data stored in the RAM 117B with dark → light. Therefore, the CPU 117A compares the dimension L3 between the intersection point 1 and the intersection point 4 with the X direction dimension data of the storage unit Cc stored in the RAM in advance, and the dimension L3 is the X of the storage unit Cc. When it falls within the error range of the direction dimension data, it is determined that the intersection 6 is the right end of the storage portion Cc, and the line 156 is determined as the right edge of the storage portion Cc.

  Next, the CPU 117A, for example, is set in advance in the tape feeding direction (hereinafter referred to as the Y direction) indicated by an arrow A in the figure, and is stored in the RAM 117B as data in the central portion of the storage portion Cc (imaged). Scanning from the top to the bottom in FIG. 12 is performed to detect a change in brightness.

  At this time, the CPU 117A first sets the lightness change point in FIG. 12 as a brightness change point from a portion with high lightness around the storage portion Cc on the storage tape C to a portion with low lightness of the storage portion Cc (for example, a dark portion such as dark gray). The intersection 7 between the upper line 157 and the scanning line is detected. Next, the CPU 117A displays a line as a brightness change point from the storage portion Cc on the line 158 below the line 157 to the center surface 147 of the electronic component 145 (for example, a portion captured in light gray and brighter than the storage portion Cc). The intersection 8 between 158 and the scanning line is detected. Similarly, the CPU 117A displays a line 159, a scanning line, and the like as a brightness change point from the central surface 147 of the electronic component 145 to the storage part Cc (for example, a dark part imaged in gray) on the line 159 below the line 158. 9 is detected.

  Next, the CPU 117A detects 10 where the intersection of the line 160 and the scanning line is detected as a lightness change point from the storage portion Cc on the line 160 below the line 159 to the high lightness portion on the surface of the storage tape around it. .

  FIG. 14 shows the brightness change at the brightness change location detected as described above. Next, the CPU 117A displays the brightness change data in the Y direction in the storage unit Cc stored in advance in the RAM 117B as described above. The brightness change at each detected intersection is sequentially compared. That is, first, the CPU 117A detects brightness change (bright → dark) at the uppermost intersection 7 and brightness change data (bright → dark) of the upper end in the Y direction in the storage unit Cc stored in the RAM 117B. When the two coincide with each other, the detected intersection point 7 is determined as the upper end of the storage portion Cc in the Y direction, and the line 157 is determined as the upper edge of the storage portion Cc.

  Next, in order to determine the lower end portion in the Y direction of the storage unit Cc, the CPU 117A detects the change in brightness at the intersection point 8, the intersection point 9, and the intersection point 10, and the storage unit Cc stored in the RAM 117B. The brightness change data at the lower end in the Y direction are sequentially compared. That is, at the intersection 8, the brightness change is dark → light, whereas the brightness change data stored in the RAM 117 </ b> B is dark → light, and the brightness change states match. In this way, when the brightness changes match, the dimension L4 from the intersection point 7 to the lower intersection point 8 is calculated using the uppermost intersection point 7 as a reference, and the result is stored in the RAM 111 in advance. It is compared with the size data in the Y direction of the storage portion Cc. And since both are clearly different, it is determined that the intersection 8 is not the lower end of the storage portion Cc. Next, the CPU 117A compares lightness → darkness, which is a change in lightness at the intersection point 9, and dark → light, which is data of the lightness change at the lower end portion stored in the RAM 117B, and the brightness changes between the two are different. Therefore, it is determined that the intersection point 9 is not the lower end portion of the storage portion Cc.

  Next, the CPU 117A compares the lightness change at the intersection 10 with dark → light and the lightness change data stored in the RAM 117B with dark → light. Therefore, the CPU 117A compares the dimension L5 between the intersection point 7 and the intersection point 10 with the Y direction dimension data of the storage unit Cc stored in the RAM in advance, and the dimension L5 is Y of the storage unit Cc. When it is within the error range of the direction dimension data, it is determined that the intersection 10 is the lower end of the storage portion Cc, and the line 160 is determined as the lower edge of the storage portion Cc. As a result, four sides on the top, bottom, left and right of the storage portion Cc, that is, the periphery are determined.

  As described above, based on the result of imaging the storage unit Cc in which the electronic component 145 is stored, the change in brightness in the X direction and the Y direction and the change in brightness of the storage unit Cc stored in the RAM 117B in advance. When the two values match, the electronic component 145 is stored in the storage unit Cc by comparing the calculated dimension between the change points with the size of the storage unit Cc stored in the RAM 111 in advance. Even in such a case, the storage unit Cc can be distinguished from the electronic component 145 based on the imaging result, and the periphery of the storage unit Cc can be reliably determined and recognized.

Hereinafter, when the left and right edge lines 151, 155 and the upper and lower edge lines 157, 160, which are the peripheral edges of the storage unit Cc, are determined, the CPU 117A then determines the expression on the recognition screen of each line and will be described later. Find the center line formula.

That is, first, in the line 151 which is the left edge, a position separated by a predetermined dimension, for example, 0.1 mm apart from the intersection 1 in the Y-axis direction is scanned in the X-axis direction, as shown in FIG. The coordinates of the intersections 171 and 172 with the line 151 are obtained. Then, these three straight lines are obtained from the coordinates of the intersection point 1, the intersection point 171 and the intersection point 172, and a linear expression of the obtained straight line is referred to as an approximate expression A of the line 151. Similarly, in the line 155 that is the right edge, a position that is a predetermined distance up and down from the intersection 6 in the Y-axis direction is scanned in the X-axis direction, and the intersections 173 and 174 with the line 155 as shown in FIG. Find the coordinates of. Then, a straight line of these three points is obtained from the coordinates of the intersection point 6, the intersection point 173, and the intersection point 174, and a linear expression of the obtained straight line is defined as an approximate expression B of the line 155 . Furthermore, from the obtained approximate expression A and approximate expression B, an expression of the first center line (center straight line) 162 of the lines 151 and 152 (hereinafter referred to as the first center line expression) is determined.

  Next, in the line 157 which is the upper edge, a position separated by a predetermined dimension, for example, 0.2 mm apart from the intersection 7 in the X-axis direction, is scanned in the Y-axis direction, and the line 157 as shown in FIG. The coordinates of the intersections 175 and 176 with the are obtained. Then, these three straight lines are obtained from the coordinates of the intersection point 7, the intersection point 175, and the intersection point 176, and a linear expression of the obtained straight line is defined as an approximate expression C of the line 157. Similarly, in the line 160 which is the lower edge, a position that is a predetermined distance up and down in the X-axis direction from the intersection 10 is scanned in the Y-axis direction, and the intersections 177 and 178 with the line 160 as shown in FIG. Find the coordinates. Then, these three straight lines are obtained from the coordinates of the intersection 10, the intersection 177, and the intersection 178, and a linear expression of the obtained straight line is defined as an approximate expression D of the line 160. Further, an expression of a second center line (center straight line) 163 of the line 157 and the line 160 (hereinafter referred to as a second center line expression) is obtained from the obtained approximate expression C and approximate expression D.

  Then, an intersection 168 between the first center line 162 and the second center line 163 is obtained from the first center line formula and the second center line formula, and the X coordinate and Y coordinate of the intersection 168 are determined in the storage unit Cc. The center position is set and stored in the RAM 117A. The center position of the storage part Cc is recognized as the position of the storage part Cc with respect to the electronic component mounting apparatus, and the storage part Cc is recognized.

  Then, a deviation from the center coordinate of the substrate recognition camera 17 that images the storage portion Cc of the storage portion Cc of each coordinate of the center position of the storage portion Cc is obtained, and based on the positional relationship between the substrate recognition camera 17 and the suction nozzle 18. Then, the correction value of the suction position of the suction nozzle 18 is calculated, and this correction value is stored in the RAM 111. Then, after considering the correction value, the X-axis drive motor 12X and the Y-axis drive motor 12Y are driven, and then the vertical axis drive motor 16A is driven, and the suction nozzle 18 descends to take out the electronic components. . Thereby, by inserting / removing the component supply unit 6 from the feeder base 19, even if the position of the storage part Cc moves a little, an electronic component can be taken out reliably. Also in the next and subsequent extraction operations, the lowering position of the suction nozzle 18 is corrected by adding this correction value to the previous suction extraction position.

  In addition, it is determined whether or not the corresponding component supply unit 6 has been inserted / removed from / from the feeder base 19, and if it is determined that the component supply unit 6 has not been inserted / removed, a counter indicating the number of feed commands after the joint of the storage tape C is detected. The CPU 110 determines whether the count value of 109A has reached N times. That is, when the seam detection device 102 detects the seam, the number of times of feeding until the electronic component upstream of the seam reaches the suction / removal position of the electronic part is required N times. It is preferable to set the number of times slightly enough with a margin so that the storage portion Cc of the storage tape C that has passed through the extraction position and is added is surely positioned at the suction extraction position. If the count value has reached N times, as described above, the substrate recognition camera 17 images the storage portion Cc of the storage tape C, performs recognition processing, corrects the suction nozzle 18, and then moves the electronic component. Perform the suction extraction operation.

  However, if the count value of the counter 109A has not reached N times, the counter 109B counts the number of times that suction mistakes have occurred continuously, and when the CPU 110 determines that the count number has reached M times, As described above, the substrate recognition camera 17 images the storage portion Cc of the storage tape C, performs recognition processing, corrects and moves the suction nozzle 18, and then performs an electronic component suction / extraction operation. This suction error corresponds to a case where the line sensor 109C or the component recognition camera 14 detects that the electronic component is not suction-held on the suction nozzle 18, or a suction-hold state in an abnormal posture is detected.

  However, if the counter 109B does not reach the number of consecutive suction mistakes M, the CPU 110 next determines whether or not the suction rate has become a predetermined value or less. That is, when the value obtained by dividing the number of suction mistakes by the number of parts picking up is less than a predetermined value and the suction rate decreases, the board recognition camera 17 images the storage portion Cc of the storage tape C as described above, After the recognition process and the suction nozzle 18 are moved in a corrective manner, the electronic component is picked up and taken out.

  The operation as described above is performed for each mounting order indicated by the mounting data until there is no mounting data of the next step number, and the determination and suction operation of the electronic component by the suction nozzle 18 are performed.

  Instead of detecting the seam by the seam detection device 102, the CPU 110 divides the length of the storage tape C loaded in the component supply unit 6 stored in the RAM 111 by the feed pitch of the storage tape, so that the electronic component The remaining number may be grasped and stored in the RAM 111, and the counter may be decremented by 1 for each feeding operation to always manage the remaining number. That is, the management apparatus is configured by the CPU 110, the RAM 111, the counter, and the like. As a result, when the remaining number reaches a predetermined number, it is notified that splicing is required to connect the new storage tape to the old storage tape, and then splicing is performed, and the predetermined number of electronic components are supplied. Later (preferably after a slightly larger number than the predetermined number is supplied in order to ensure that a new storage tape reaches the suction / removal position), as described above, the substrate recognition camera 17 is stored in the storage tape. After the C storage portion Cc is imaged and recognized, the suction nozzle 18 is corrected and moved, and then the electronic component is picked up and taken out.

  Hereinafter, another embodiment for imaging the electronic component storage unit Cc with the board recognition camera 14 and determining the coordinates of the storage unit Cc will be described with reference to FIGS. 16, 17, 18, and 19. To do. The storage unit Cc and the electronic component 145 in each figure have the same configuration as the storage unit Cc and the electronic component 145 in the above embodiment, and the same reference numerals are given to the respective units, and detailed description thereof is omitted. .

  A method for determining the X coordinate in the center position of the storage unit Cc in this embodiment will be described below. First, on the storage unit Cc and the electronic component image obtained as an imaging result, as shown in FIG. 16, areas including both the left and right sides of the storage unit Cc and the left and right sides of the electronic component 145 are designated, and the X-axis direction Are divided into strip-shaped inspection parts 171... 175 and 176. CPU117A calculates the average value of the brightness of each test | inspection part 171-180. In FIG. 16, in order to facilitate the description of the inspection units 171 to 180, the width is made wider than the actual inspection unit, and the number of inspection units is small.

  FIG. 17 is a diagram showing the brightness change of the left and right parts of the electronic component obtained by plotting the calculation result of the brightness (average value) of each of the inspection units 171 to 180 on the X-axis and connecting them. 17, a change point 181 in which the brightness at the left end changes from light to dark is set as the X coordinate of the left side edge of the storage portion Cc. Next, the CPU 117A searches for a location where the brightness changes from dark to light on the right side of the change location 181. If the change location exists, the interval between the change location and the change location 181 is stored in the RAM 111. It is determined whether or not the dimension data in the X-axis direction of the storage section Cc is substantially equal, that is, whether or not the interval is within the error range of the dimension data in the X-axis direction of the storage section Cc.

  Here, since the distance between the change point 181 and the change point 182 is much smaller than the dimension data in the X-axis direction of the storage portion Cc at the darkest to bright change point 182 immediately after the change point 181, the CPU 117 </ b> A changes. It is determined that the location 182 is not the right edge of the storage portion Cc. Next, at the dark-to-bright change point 183 on the right side of the change point 182, the distance between the change point 181 and the change point 183 is substantially equal to the dimension data in the X-axis direction of the storage part Cc, and the X-axis of the storage part Cc. Since it is within the error range of the direction dimension data, the CPU 117A determines that the changed portion 183 is the right edge of the storage portion Cc, and uses the X coordinate of the changed portion 183 as the X coordinate of the right edge of the storage portion Cc. . The central X coordinate of the left edge X coordinate and the right edge X coordinate of the storage portion Cc is defined as the X coordinate of the center of the storage portion Cc (hereinafter referred to as the center X coordinate), and the center X coordinate is stored in the RAM 117B. .

  Next, a method for determining the Y coordinate in the center position of the storage portion Cc in this embodiment will be described below. First, on the storage unit Cc and the electronic component image obtained as an imaging result, as shown in FIG. 18, the upper and lower parts of the storage unit Cc and the area above the electronic component 145 are designated to include the two parts, and the Y axis It divides | segments into the strip | belt-shaped test | inspection part 191 ... 196 and test | inspection part 197 ... 202 of a predetermined width | variety in a direction. CPU117A calculates the average value of the brightness of each test | inspection part 191-202. In FIG. 18, in order to facilitate the description of the inspection units 191 to 202, the width is made wider than the actual inspection unit, and the number of each inspection unit is small.

  FIG. 19 is a diagram showing the brightness change of the upper and lower parts of the electronic parts obtained by plotting the calculation result of the brightness (average value) of each inspection unit 191 to 202 on the Y-axis (the brightness does not change in the central part). First, in this figure, the change point 203 at which the brightness at the lower end changes from light to dark is defined as the Y coordinate of the lower edge of the storage part Cc. Next, the CPU 117A searches for a location where the lightness changes from dark to light above the change location 203. If the change location exists, the interval between the change location and the change location 203 is stored in the RAM 111. It is determined whether or not the dimension data in the Y-axis direction of the storage section Cc is substantially equal, that is, whether or not the interval is within the error range of the dimension data in the Y-axis direction of the storage section Cc.

  Here, since the interval between the change location 203 and the change location 204 is much smaller than the dimension data in the Y-axis direction of the storage unit Cc at the darkest to bright change location 204 immediately after the change location 203, the CPU 117A changes. It is determined that the location 204 is not the upper edge of the storage portion Cc. Next, in the dark-to-bright change portion 205 above the change portion 204, the interval between the change portion 203 and the change portion 205 is substantially equal to the dimension data in the Y-axis direction of the storage portion Cc, and the Y-axis of the storage portion Cc. Since it is within the error range of the direction dimension data, the CPU 117A determines that the changed portion 205 is the upper edge of the storage portion Cc, and uses the Y coordinate of the changed portion 205 as the Y coordinate of the upper edge of the storage portion Cc. . Then, the central Y coordinate of the lower edge Y coordinate and the upper edge Y coordinate of the storage portion Cc is set as the Y coordinate of the center of the storage portion Cc (hereinafter referred to as the center Y coordinate), and this center Y coordinate is stored in the RAM 117B. .

  Next, the CPU 117A determines the center X coordinate and the center Y coordinate stored in the RAM 117B as the X coordinate and the Y coordinate of the center position 206 of the storage unit Cc, and stores them in the RAM 111 via the CPU 110.

  In this way, the area including the left and right side portions of the storage portion Cc and the left and right side portions of the electronic component 145 is designated, and strip-shaped inspection portions 171... 175 and 176. The upper and lower parts of the storage part Cc and the upper part of the electronic component 145 are designated to include the two parts, and strip-like inspection parts 191... 196 and 197 having a predetermined width in the Y-axis direction. ... divided into 202, the brightness (average value) of each inspection part is calculated, and based on the change in brightness, the change in brightness at the periphery of the storage part Cc and the dimensions of the storage part Cc stored in advance. Thus, the storage unit Cc can be reliably distinguished from the stored electronic component 145, the center coordinates of the storage unit Cc can be calculated, and there is no need to obtain the expression of the periphery, four sides, etc. of the storage unit Cc. The center coordinates of the storage part Cc are determined with as little processing as possible. Rukoto can.

  As described above, when the X coordinate and the Y coordinate of the central position 206 of the storage unit Cc are determined, the CPU 110 captures the storage unit Cc of each coordinate of the central position 206 of the storage unit Cc, as in the above embodiment. A deviation from the center coordinate of the recognition camera 17 is obtained, a correction value of the suction position of the suction nozzle 18 is calculated based on the positional relationship between the substrate recognition camera 17 and the suction nozzle 18, and this correction value is stored in the RAM 111. Then, after considering the correction value, the X-axis drive motor 12X and the Y-axis drive motor 12Y are driven, and then the vertical axis drive motor 16A is driven, and the suction nozzle 18 descends to take out the electronic components. . Thereby, by inserting / removing the component supply unit 6 from the feeder base 19, even if the position of the storage part Cc moves a little, an electronic component can be taken out reliably. Also in the next and subsequent extraction operations, the lowering position of the suction nozzle 18 is corrected by adding this correction value to the previous suction extraction position.

  The electronic component mounting apparatus has been described by taking a so-called multi-function chip mounter as an example. However, the present invention is not limited to this and may be applied to a high-speed chip mounter such as a rotary table type.

  The component supply unit may be mounted on a cart removably connected to the main body, and the feeder base may be provided in the cart.
