Description

本発明は、部品を吸着する吸着ノズルの先端面の状態（欠け、異物付着等）を検査する部品実装機の吸着ノズル検査装置に関する発明である。   The present invention relates to a suction nozzle inspection device for a component mounting machine that inspects the state (tip, chipping, foreign matter adhesion, etc.) of a suction nozzle that sucks a component.

部品実装機の吸着ノズルの先端面に欠けや異物付着等の異常があると、部品の吸着不良の原因となる。そこで、特許文献１（特開平７−２２７８３号公報）では、予め、吸着ノズルに部品を吸着する前に、吸着ノズルの真下方向からカメラで吸着ノズルの先端面を撮像してその画像情報をメモリに記憶しておき、その後、吸着ノズルに部品を吸着して回路基板に実装した後、再度、吸着ノズルの真下方向からカメラで吸着ノズルの先端面を撮像して、その画像を記憶画像と比較して、吸着ノズルの先端面の異常の有無を検査するようにしている。   Abnormalities such as chipping or foreign matter adhesion on the tip surface of the suction nozzle of the component mounting machine may cause component suction failure. Therefore, in Patent Document 1 (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 7-22833), before the component is sucked to the suction nozzle, the front end surface of the suction nozzle is imaged from the direction directly below the suction nozzle, and the image information is stored in the memory. After that, after picking up the components on the suction nozzle and mounting them on the circuit board, the camera picks up the tip surface of the suction nozzle again from directly below the suction nozzle and compares the image with the stored image. Thus, the tip end surface of the suction nozzle is inspected for abnormalities.

特開平７−２２７８３号公報Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 7-2283

一般に、部品実装機には、吸着ノズルに吸着した部品をその下方からカメラで撮像して画像認識する部品画像認識システムが搭載されている。この部品画像認識システムでは、部品の画像認識の精度を高めるために、吸着ノズルに吸着した部品とその周囲の背景とのコントラストを大きくする必要があり、そのため、吸着ノズルやその周囲の背景部分が黒色に着色されている（又は黒色の材料で形成されている）。このため、吸着ノズルの真下方向からカメラで吸着ノズルの先端面を撮像しても、吸着ノズルの先端面とその周囲の背景とのコントラストが小さく、両者の境界を十分に明瞭に識別できないため、吸着ノズルの先端面の欠けや異物付着等を画像認識する精度を十分に確保するのが困難であった。   Generally, a component mounter is equipped with a component image recognition system that recognizes an image by picking up a component sucked by a suction nozzle from below with a camera. In this component image recognition system, in order to increase the accuracy of component image recognition, it is necessary to increase the contrast between the component adsorbed by the adsorption nozzle and the surrounding background. It is colored black (or made of a black material). For this reason, even if the tip surface of the suction nozzle is imaged with a camera from directly below the suction nozzle, the contrast between the tip surface of the suction nozzle and the surrounding background is small and the boundary between the two cannot be identified sufficiently clearly. It has been difficult to ensure sufficient image recognition accuracy such as chipping of the tip surface of the suction nozzle and adhesion of foreign matter.

そこで、本発明が解決しようとする課題は、画像認識技術を用いて吸着ノズルの先端面の欠けや異物付着等を精度良く検査することができる部品実装機の吸着ノズル検査装置を提供することである。   Accordingly, the problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a suction nozzle inspection device for a component mounting machine that can accurately inspect chip end surfaces of a suction nozzle, adhesion of foreign matter, etc. using image recognition technology. is there.

上記課題を解決するために、請求項１に係る発明は、部品を吸着する吸着ノズルを備えた部品実装機において、前記吸着ノズルの先端面（下端面）に斜め下方から照明光を照射する照明装置と、前記照明装置の照明光が前記吸着ノズルの先端面で正反射する方向から該吸着ノズルの先端面を撮像するように配置されたカメラと、前記カメラの撮像画像を処理して前記吸着ノズルの先端面の状態を検査する検査手段とを備え、前記吸着ノズルの先端面に斜め下方から前記照明光を照射し、前記吸着ノズルの先端面で正反射した光が前記カメラの視野内に入射するように前記カメラを配置することで、前記吸着ノズルの先端面の周囲の背景部分で乱反射した光が前記カメラの視野内に入射するのを少なくするように構成し、前記検査手段は、部品実装動作後に前記吸着ノズルが部品吸着位置へ移動する経路の途中で前記カメラで撮像した画像中に該吸着ノズルの先端面を認識できるか否かを判定し、該吸着ノズルの先端面を認識できなければ、該吸着ノズルに実装ミスした部品が付着したまま持ち帰えられる部品持ち帰りと判定することを特徴とするものである。 In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, the invention according to claim 1 is the component mounting machine provided with the suction nozzle that sucks the component, and illuminates the front end surface (lower end surface) of the suction nozzle with illumination light obliquely from below. An apparatus, a camera arranged to image the front end surface of the suction nozzle from a direction in which the illumination light of the illumination device is regularly reflected by the front end surface of the suction nozzle, and an image captured by the camera to process the suction Inspection means for inspecting the state of the tip surface of the nozzle, the illumination light is irradiated obliquely from below to the tip surface of the suction nozzle, and the light regularly reflected by the tip surface of the suction nozzle is within the field of view of the camera By arranging the camera to be incident, it is configured to reduce the incidence of light irregularly reflected in the background portion around the tip surface of the suction nozzle into the visual field of the camera, and the inspection unit includes: parts Wherein determining whether the suction nozzle can recognize the distal end surface of the adsorber nozzles in the image captured by the camera in the middle of the path to be moved to the component pickup position after the instrumentation operation, recognize the front end surface of the adsorber nozzle If not, it is determined that the component is brought back with the component that has been mismounted mounted on the suction nozzle.

一般に、吸着ノズルの先端面は、部品の吸着を安定させるために、平面度が高いため、照明光の反射率が高い。従来のように、吸着ノズルの真下方向から照明光を照射する同軸落射照明を用いて吸着ノズルの先端面を真下方向からカメラで撮像する構成では、吸着ノズルの孔内やノズル周囲の背景で乱反射した光がカメラの視野内に入射してしまい、コントラストの低下を招いていた。   In general, the tip surface of the suction nozzle has high flatness in order to stabilize the suction of components, and therefore has a high reflectance of illumination light. In the conventional configuration where the tip surface of the suction nozzle is imaged with the camera from directly below using coaxial epi-illumination that illuminates the illumination light from directly below the suction nozzle, diffuse reflection in the background of the suction nozzle hole or around the nozzle The incident light enters the field of view of the camera, leading to a decrease in contrast.

これに対し、本発明では、吸着ノズルの先端面に斜め下方から照明光を照射し、その照明光が吸着ノズルの先端面で正反射する方向から該吸着ノズルの先端面をカメラで撮像するようにしているため、吸着ノズルの先端面で正反射した光をカメラの視野内に入射させて、それ以外の背景部分で乱反射した光がカメラの視野内に入射するのを効果的に少なくすることができる。これにより、吸着ノズルのリング状の先端面のみを明るくして撮像することができ、吸着ノズルのリング状の先端面とその内外周の背景部分とのコントラストを大きくして両者の境界を十分に明瞭に識別することが可能となり、吸着ノズルの先端面の欠けや異物付着等を精度良く検査することができる。   In contrast, in the present invention, the tip surface of the suction nozzle is irradiated obliquely from below, and the tip surface of the suction nozzle is imaged by the camera from the direction in which the illumination light is regularly reflected by the tip surface of the suction nozzle. Therefore, the light regularly reflected by the tip of the suction nozzle is made incident in the camera field of view, and the light that is irregularly reflected by other background parts is effectively reduced in the camera field of view. Can do. As a result, only the ring-shaped tip surface of the suction nozzle can be brightened and imaged, and the contrast between the ring-shaped tip surface of the suction nozzle and the background portion on the inner and outer circumferences can be increased to sufficiently define the boundary between the two. It becomes possible to identify clearly, and it is possible to accurately inspect chipping of the tip surface of the suction nozzle, adhesion of foreign matters, and the like.

部品実装動作後に吸着ノズルが部品吸着位置へ移動する際に、該吸着ノズルに実装ミスした部品が付着したまま持ち帰えられる部品持ち帰りが発生する場合がある。そこで、本発明では、部品実装動作後に吸着ノズルが部品吸着位置へ移動する経路の途中でカメラで撮像した画像中に該吸着ノズルの先端面を認識できるか否かを判定し、該吸着ノズルの先端面を認識できなければ、部品持ち帰りと判定するようにしている。 When the suction nozzle moves to the component suction position after the component mounting operation, there may be a case where the component is brought back so that the component that has been mismounted may be attached to the suction nozzle. Therefore, in the present invention, it is determined whether or not the tip surface of the suction nozzle can be recognized in the image captured by the camera in the middle of the path along which the suction nozzle moves to the component suction position after the component mounting operation . If the front end face cannot be recognized, it is determined that the part has been taken home.

部品持ち帰りが発生した場合、部品実装動作後に吸着ノズルが部品吸着位置へ移動する経路の途中でカメラで撮像した画像には持ち帰った部品が写り、吸着ノズルの先端面が持ち帰り部品の背後に隠れてしまう。その場合、撮像画像中の物体の形状が精度良く認識できないと、撮像画像中の物体が部品なのか吸着ノズルの先端面なのかを精度良く判別することは難しい。しかし、本発明では、撮像画像から物体形状を精度良く認識できるため、それが部品なのか吸着ノズルの先端面なのかを精度良く判別可能となる。さらに、部品持ち帰りがあった場合の部品の位置や姿勢は様々であるため、撮像画像に写る部品の形状は一定せず、撮像画像中の物体が部品であると判定するのは困難である。しかし、吸着ノズルの先端面は位置も姿勢も一定しているため、認識が容易であり、撮像画像中に吸着ノズルの先端面を探し、吸着ノズルの先端面を認識できなければ、吸着ノズルの先端面は持ち帰り部品の背後に隠れているのであり、部品持ち帰りと容易に判定できる。 When a part is taken home, the part taken back is shown in the image captured by the camera in the middle of the path where the suction nozzle moves to the part suction position after the component mounting operation, and the tip of the suction nozzle is hidden behind the part being taken back. End up. In that case, if the shape of the object in the captured image cannot be recognized with high accuracy, it is difficult to accurately determine whether the object in the captured image is a component or the tip surface of the suction nozzle. However, in the present invention, since the object shape can be accurately recognized from the captured image, it is possible to accurately determine whether it is a part or the tip surface of the suction nozzle. Furthermore, since the position and orientation of the component when the component is taken home vary, the shape of the component shown in the captured image is not constant, and it is difficult to determine that the object in the captured image is a component. However, since the front end face of the suction nozzle are constant even posture position, recognition is easy, locate the front end face of the suction nozzle in the pickup image, to be able to recognize the distal end surface of the suction nozzle, the suction nozzle Since the front end surface is hidden behind the part to be taken home, it can be easily determined that the part has been taken home.

この場合、請求項２のように、カメラの撮像画像の処理結果に基づいて吸着ノズルのノズル径を計測するようにしても良い。本発明では、吸着ノズルの先端面とその外周の背景部分とのコントラストを大きくできるため、吸着ノズルのノズル径を精度良く計測することができる。   In this case, as described in claim 2, the nozzle diameter of the suction nozzle may be measured based on the processing result of the captured image of the camera. In the present invention, since the contrast between the front end surface of the suction nozzle and the background portion on the outer periphery thereof can be increased, the nozzle diameter of the suction nozzle can be measured with high accuracy.

本発明は、部品実装機に吸着ノズル先端面検査専用のカメラを新たに設けても良いが、請求項３のように、吸着ノズルに吸着した部品の吸着姿勢をその側方から第１の光路屈曲手段を介して撮像する部品撮像用カメラを用いて、照明装置の照明光が吸着ノズルの先端面で正反射する方向から該吸着ノズルの先端面を前記部品撮像用カメラで撮像するための第２の光路屈曲手段を設けた構成としても良い。このようにすれば、部品撮像用カメラを使用して吸着ノズルの先端面を精度良く画像認識して検査することができる。   In the present invention, a dedicated camera for inspecting the tip surface of the suction nozzle may be newly provided in the component mounting machine. However, as in claim 3, the suction posture of the component sucked by the suction nozzle is changed from the side to the first optical path. Using a component imaging camera that captures an image via a bending means, a first imaging unit that captures the tip surface of the suction nozzle with the component imaging camera from the direction in which the illumination light of the illumination device is regularly reflected by the tip surface of the suction nozzle. Two optical path bending means may be provided. In this way, it is possible to accurately inspect and inspect the tip surface of the suction nozzle using the component imaging camera.

この場合、請求項４のように、吸着ノズルに部品を吸着する前に、部品撮像用カメラの視野内に吸着ノズルの先端面の画像と該吸着ノズルの側面の画像を並べて収めて撮像するようにしても良い。このようにすれば、１回の撮像で吸着ノズルの先端面と側面の両方を同時に精度良く画像認識することができ、吸着ノズルの先端面と側面の両方の検査を能率良く行うことができる。   In this case, as described in claim 4, before the component is attracted to the suction nozzle, the image of the tip surface of the suction nozzle and the image of the side surface of the suction nozzle are stored side by side in the field of view of the component imaging camera. Anyway. In this way, it is possible to accurately recognize both the front end surface and the side surface of the suction nozzle simultaneously with a single image pickup, and it is possible to efficiently inspect both the front end surface and the side surface of the suction nozzle.

以下、本発明を実施するための形態を具体化した２つの実施例１，２を説明する。   Hereinafter, two Examples 1 and 2 which embody the form for implementing this invention are demonstrated.

本発明の実施例１を図１及び図２に基づいて説明する。
吸着ノズル１１は、部品実装機の装着ヘッド（図示せず）に交換可能に下向きに保持されている。吸着ノズル１１とその周囲の背景部分１２は、黒色に着色されている（又は黒色の材料で形成されている）。 A first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.
The suction nozzle 11 is held downward in a replaceable manner on a mounting head (not shown) of the component mounting machine. The suction nozzle 11 and the surrounding background portion 12 are colored black (or formed of a black material).

一方、照明装置１３は、吸着ノズル１１の先端面（下端面）に斜め下方から照明光を照射するように配置されている。吸着ノズル１１の先端面に対する照明光の入射角度は、例えば３０〜６０°の範囲、より好ましくは４０〜５０°の範囲に設定されている。尚、照明装置１３の位置を別の位置に変更して、照明光の光路をミラー等の光路屈曲手段で屈曲させて吸着ノズル１１の先端面に斜め下方から照明光を照射するようにしても良い。   On the other hand, the illuminating device 13 is disposed so as to irradiate the illumination light to the front end surface (lower end surface) of the suction nozzle 11 obliquely from below. The incident angle of the illumination light with respect to the tip surface of the suction nozzle 11 is set in a range of, for example, 30 to 60 °, and more preferably in a range of 40 to 50 °. In addition, the position of the illuminating device 13 is changed to another position, and the optical path of the illumination light is bent by an optical path bending means such as a mirror so that the tip surface of the suction nozzle 11 is irradiated with the illumination light obliquely from below. good.

吸着ノズル１１の先端面を撮像するカメラ１４は、照明装置１３の照明光が吸着ノズル１１の先端面で正反射する方向から該吸着ノズル１１の先端面を撮像するように配置されている。尚、カメラ１４の位置を別の位置に変更して、吸着ノズル１１の先端面で正反射した照明光の光路をミラー等の光路屈曲手段で屈曲させてカメラ１４の視野内に入射させるようにしても良い。   The camera 14 that images the tip surface of the suction nozzle 11 is arranged so as to pick up the tip surface of the suction nozzle 11 from the direction in which the illumination light of the illumination device 13 is regularly reflected by the tip surface of the suction nozzle 11. In addition, the position of the camera 14 is changed to another position, and the optical path of the illumination light regularly reflected by the tip surface of the suction nozzle 11 is bent by an optical path bending means such as a mirror so as to enter the field of view of the camera 14. May be.

照明装置１３とカメラ１４は、部品実装機のうちの吸着ノズル１１の移動可能な位置に固定的に設けても良いし、吸着ノズル１１を保持する装着ヘッド又はこれと一体的に移動する部材に取り付けて、照明装置１３とカメラ１４を装着ヘッド（吸着ノズル１１）と一体的に移動させるようにしても良い。前者の場合は、吸着ノズル１１の先端面を検査するときに、吸着ノズル１１を照明装置１３で照明される撮像位置まで移動させて吸着ノズル１１の先端面をカメラ１４で撮像すれば良い。後者の場合は、装着ヘッド（吸着ノズル１１）がどの位置に移動しても、装着ヘッド（吸着ノズル１１）と照明装置１３とカメラ１４との位置関係が一定に保たれるため、吸着ノズル１１の先端面を検査するときに照明装置１３を点灯して吸着ノズル１１の先端面をカメラ１４で撮像すれば良い。   The illumination device 13 and the camera 14 may be fixedly provided at a movable position of the suction nozzle 11 in the component mounting machine, or may be a mounting head that holds the suction nozzle 11 or a member that moves integrally therewith. It is also possible to attach the illumination device 13 and the camera 14 together with the mounting head (suction nozzle 11). In the former case, when the tip surface of the suction nozzle 11 is inspected, the suction nozzle 11 may be moved to the imaging position illuminated by the illumination device 13 and the tip surface of the suction nozzle 11 may be imaged by the camera 14. In the latter case, the positional relationship among the mounting head (suction nozzle 11), the illumination device 13, and the camera 14 is kept constant regardless of the position of the mounting head (suction nozzle 11). What is necessary is just to light up the illuminating device 13 and inspect the front end surface of the suction nozzle 11 with the camera 14 when inspecting the front end surface.

以上説明した本実施例１では、吸着ノズル１１の先端面に斜め下方から照明光を照射し、その照明光が吸着ノズル１１の先端面で正反射する方向から該吸着ノズル１１の先端面をカメラ１４で撮像するようにしているため、吸着ノズル１１の先端面で正反射した光をカメラ１４の視野内に入射させて、それ以外の背景部分１２で乱反射した光がカメラ１４の視野内に入射するのを効果的に少なくすることができる。これにより、図２（ｂ）に示す従来の同軸落射照明で撮像した画像と比較して、本実施例１では、図２（ａ）に示すように、吸着ノズル１１のリング状の先端面のみを明るくして撮像することができ、吸着ノズル１１のリング状の先端面とその内外周の背景部分１２とのコントラストを大きくして両者の境界を十分に明瞭に識別することが可能となり、吸着ノズル１１の先端面の欠けや異物付着等を精度良く検査することができる。   In the first embodiment described above, the front end surface of the suction nozzle 11 is irradiated with illumination light obliquely from below, and the front end surface of the suction nozzle 11 is viewed from the direction in which the illumination light is regularly reflected by the front end surface of the suction nozzle 11. 14, the light regularly reflected by the tip surface of the suction nozzle 11 is incident on the field of view of the camera 14, and the light irregularly reflected by the other background portion 12 is incident on the field of view of the camera 14. Can be effectively reduced. Thereby, compared with the image imaged by the conventional coaxial incident illumination shown in FIG. 2B, in the first embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2A, only the ring-shaped tip surface of the suction nozzle 11 is obtained. The contrast between the ring-shaped tip surface of the suction nozzle 11 and the background portion 12 on the inner and outer periphery thereof can be increased and the boundary between the two can be identified sufficiently clearly. It is possible to accurately inspect for chipping of the tip surface of the nozzle 11 and adhesion of foreign matter.

この場合、カメラ１４の撮像画像の処理結果に基づいて吸着ノズル１１のノズル径を計測するようにしても良い。本実施例１では、吸着ノズル１１の先端面とその外周の背景部分１２とのコントラストを大きくできるため、吸着ノズル１１のノズル径を精度良く計測することができる。   In this case, the nozzle diameter of the suction nozzle 11 may be measured based on the processing result of the captured image of the camera 14. In the first embodiment, since the contrast between the front end surface of the suction nozzle 11 and the background portion 12 on the outer periphery thereof can be increased, the nozzle diameter of the suction nozzle 11 can be accurately measured.

また、部品実装動作後に吸着ノズル１１が部品吸着位置へ移動する経路の途中でカメラ１４で撮像した画像の処理結果に基づいて該吸着ノズル１１に実装ミスした部品が付着したまま持ち帰えられる部品持ち帰りの有無を判定するようにしても良い。本実施例１では、吸着ノズル１１の先端面の状態を精度良く検査できるため、部品持ち帰りの有無も精度良く判定することができる。   In addition, a component can be taken home with a component that has been mismounted mounted on the suction nozzle 11 based on a processing result of an image captured by the camera 14 in the middle of a path along which the suction nozzle 11 moves to the component suction position after the component mounting operation. It may be determined whether or not there is. In the first embodiment, since the state of the tip surface of the suction nozzle 11 can be inspected with high accuracy, the presence / absence of component take-back can also be determined with high accuracy.

部品を持ち帰っている場合、撮像画像には持ち帰った部品が写り、吸着ノズル１１の先端面が持ち帰り部品の背後に隠れてしまう。その場合、撮像画像中の物体の形状が精度良く認識できないと、撮像画像中の物体が部品なのか吸着ノズル１１の先端面なのかを精度良く判別することは難しい。しかし、撮像画像から物体形状を精度良く認識できれば、それが部品なのか吸着ノズル１１の先端面なのかを精度良く判別可能となる。さらに、部品持ち帰りがあった場合の部品の位置や姿勢は様々であるため、撮像画像に写る部品の形状は一定せず、撮像画像中の物体が部品であると判定するのは困難である。しかし、吸着ノズル１１の先端面は位置も姿勢も一定しているため、認識が容易であり、撮像画像中に吸着ノズル１１の先端面を探し、吸着ノズル１１の先端面を認識できなければ、吸着ノズル１１の先端面は持ち帰り部品の背後に隠れているのであり、部品持ち帰りと容易に判定できる。
When the part is taken home, the part taken back appears in the captured image, and the tip surface of the suction nozzle 11 is hidden behind the part taken home. In that case, if the shape of the object in the captured image cannot be recognized with high accuracy, it is difficult to accurately determine whether the object in the captured image is a component or the tip surface of the suction nozzle 11. However, if the object shape can be accurately recognized from the captured image, it can be accurately determined whether it is a part or the tip surface of the suction nozzle 11. Furthermore, since the position and orientation of the component when the component is taken home vary, the shape of the component shown in the captured image is not constant, and it is difficult to determine that the object in the captured image is a component. However, since the front end face of the suction nozzle 11 is constant both attitude position, recognition is easy, locate the front end surface of the suction nozzle 11 in the captured image, to be able to recognize the distal end surface of the suction nozzle 11, Since the tip surface of the suction nozzle 11 is hidden behind the part to be taken home, it can be easily determined that the part has been taken home.

上記実施例１は、部品実装機に吸着ノズル先端面検査専用のカメラ１４を新たに設けた実施例であるが、図３及び図４に示す本発明の実施例２では、吸着ノズル２１に吸着した部品の吸着姿勢をその側方から第１のミラー２２（第１の光路屈曲手段）を介して撮像する部品撮像用カメラ２３を用いて、吸着ノズル２１の先端面を撮像できるようにしている。具体的には、第１のミラー２２から見て吸着ノズル２１の後方にバックライト照明装置２４を配置すると共に、落射照明装置２５を吸着ノズル２１の先端面に斜め下方から照明光を照射するように配置し、落射照明装置２５の照明光が吸着ノズル２１の先端面で正反射する方向から該吸着ノズル２１の先端面を部品撮像用カメラ２３で撮像するための第２のミラー２６（第２の光路屈曲手段）を設けた構成としている。吸着ノズル２１の先端面に対する照明光の入射角度は、例えば３０〜６０°の範囲、より好ましくは４０〜５０°の範囲に設定されている。   In the first embodiment, the component mounting machine is newly provided with a dedicated camera 14 for inspecting the tip surface of the suction nozzle. In the second embodiment of the present invention shown in FIGS. The tip surface of the suction nozzle 21 can be imaged using a component imaging camera 23 that captures the suction posture of the selected component from the side via a first mirror 22 (first optical path bending means). . Specifically, the backlight illumination device 24 is disposed behind the suction nozzle 21 when viewed from the first mirror 22, and the epi-illumination device 25 irradiates the tip surface of the suction nozzle 21 with illumination light obliquely from below. And the second mirror 26 (second) for imaging the tip surface of the suction nozzle 21 with the component imaging camera 23 from the direction in which the illumination light of the epi-illumination device 25 is regularly reflected by the tip surface of the suction nozzle 21. The optical path bending means) is provided. The incident angle of the illumination light with respect to the tip surface of the suction nozzle 21 is set, for example, in the range of 30 to 60 °, more preferably in the range of 40 to 50 °.

この場合、吸着ノズル２１に部品を吸着する前に、図４に示すように、部品撮像用カメラ２３の視野内に吸着ノズル２１の先端面の画像と該吸着ノズル２１の側面の画像を並べて収めて同時に撮像できるように各ミラー２２，２６の傾斜角度や部品撮像用カメラ２３の位置を設定している。尚、部品撮像用カメラ２３、各照明装置２４，２５及び各ミラー２２，２６は、吸着ノズル２１を保持する装着ヘッド又はこれと一体的に移動する部材に取り付けられ、これらの位置関係が常に一定に保たれるようになっている。   In this case, before the component is attracted to the suction nozzle 21, as shown in FIG. 4, the image of the tip surface of the suction nozzle 21 and the image of the side surface of the suction nozzle 21 are stored side by side in the field of view of the component imaging camera 23. Thus, the tilt angles of the mirrors 22 and 26 and the position of the component imaging camera 23 are set so that images can be captured simultaneously. The component imaging camera 23, the illumination devices 24 and 25, and the mirrors 22 and 26 are attached to a mounting head that holds the suction nozzle 21 or a member that moves integrally therewith, and their positional relationship is always constant. To be kept.

以上説明した本実施例２によれば、部品撮像用カメラ２３を使用して吸着ノズル２１の先端面を精度良く画像認識して検査することができ、吸着ノズル先端面検査専用のカメラを設ける必要がない。   According to the second embodiment described above, it is possible to accurately recognize and inspect the tip surface of the suction nozzle 21 using the component imaging camera 23, and it is necessary to provide a camera dedicated to the suction nozzle tip surface inspection. There is no.

しかも、本実施例２のように、吸着ノズル２１に部品を吸着する前に、部品撮像用カメラ２３の視野内に吸着ノズル２１の先端面の画像と側面の画像を並べて収めて撮像するようにすれば、１回の撮像で吸着ノズル２１の先端面と側面の両方を同時に精度良く画像認識することができ、吸着ノズル２１の先端面と側面の両方の検査を能率良く行うことができる。   In addition, as in the second embodiment, before the component is attracted to the suction nozzle 21, the image of the tip surface and the side image of the suction nozzle 21 are stored side by side in the field of view of the component imaging camera 23. By doing so, it is possible to accurately recognize both the front end surface and the side surface of the suction nozzle 21 simultaneously with a single image pickup, and to efficiently inspect both the front end surface and the side surface of the suction nozzle 21.

但し、本発明は、吸着ノズル２１の先端面の画像と側面の画像とを別々に撮像するようにしても良い。この際、画像の切り換えに応じて部品撮像用カメラ２３を移動させたり、ミラー２２，２６の一方を移動又は傾斜角度を変化させたりして、吸着ノズル２１の先端面の画像と側面の画像の一方のみを部品撮像用カメラ２３の視野内に収めるようにすれば良い。   However, in the present invention, the image of the tip surface and the image of the side surface of the suction nozzle 21 may be separately captured. At this time, the component imaging camera 23 is moved in accordance with the switching of the image, or one of the mirrors 22 and 26 is moved or the inclination angle is changed, so that the tip surface image and the side surface image of the suction nozzle 21 are changed. It is sufficient that only one of them is within the field of view of the component imaging camera 23.
