  By the way, when mounting an electronic component having an electrode on a mounting target such as a substrate or another electronic component, a bonding agent (for example, solder) is applied to the mounting surface of the mounting target, and then the electrode is pressed against the mounting surface. It is possible to join. In this case, it is necessary to apply the bonding agent to the target area without excess or deficiency so as not to cause poor bonding such as bridging or insufficient bonding, so it is normal to apply the bonding agent using a dedicated nozzle. is there. However, when applying a bonding agent using a dedicated nozzle, different nozzles are required for the step of applying the bonding agent and the step of mounting the electronic component, so the nozzle must be replaced each time the electronic component is mounted. This is necessary and the production efficiency of the product is reduced.

  The main purpose of the component mounter of the present invention is to suppress the occurrence of defects without deteriorating product production efficiency.

  The component mounter of the present invention employs the following means in order to achieve the main object described above.

When the bonding agent application step is executed, the electrode of the electronic component is moved again to the position where it is immersed in the bonding agent stored in the storage means, the electrode of the electronic component is moved to the position where it is pressed against the mounting target, and the nozzle The component mounting process is executed by releasing the holding of the electronic component. That is, in the bonding agent application step, the bonding agent is applied by attaching the bonding agent to the electrode of the electronic component held by the nozzle and transferring the attached bonding agent to the mounting target. Without the need for a dedicated nozzle, it is possible to apply the bonding agent to the targeted location simply by aligning the electronic components. In addition, when different nozzles are used in the bonding agent application process and the component mounting process, it is necessary to replace the nozzle after executing the bonding agent application process. It will decline. On the other hand, in the present invention, the same nozzle is used in the bonding agent application step and the component mounting step, and it is not necessary to replace the nozzle, so that the production efficiency can be further improved. As a result, the occurrence of defects can be suppressed without reducing the product production efficiency. Here, the “bonding agent application step” may be executed only once or may be executed a plurality of times.

  In such a first component mounting machine of the present invention, the mounting object is photographed based on the photographing means for photographing the mounting object and the image of the mounting object photographed by the photographing means after the bonding agent applying step is executed. Determining means for determining whether or not the bonding agent has been properly applied, and the bonding agent application process execution means determines that the bonding agent has not been properly applied to the mounting target by the determination means. Then, it may be a means for re-executing the bonding agent application step. In this case, the electronic component can be mounted on the mounting target after sufficiently applying the bonding agent to the mounting target, and thus it is possible to further suppress the occurrence of mounting failure.

  In the first component mounting machine of the present invention, the bonding agent application process execution means presses the electrode of the electronic component against the mounting target with a smaller load than the component mounting process as the bonding agent application process. It can also be a means for controlling the moving means. By so doing, it is possible to effectively suppress the occurrence of coating defects such as the bonding agent being applied beyond the required range of the mounting target.

The bonding agent applying step is executed by moving the electrode to the position and separating the electrode of the electronic component from the mounting target in a state where the electronic component is held by the nozzle. When the bonding agent application process is executed, it is determined whether or not the bonding agent is properly applied to the mounting target based on the image of the mounting target photographed by the photographing unit, and the bonding agent is properly applied to the mounting target. If it is determined that the electronic component electrode is pressed, the component mounting step is executed by moving the electrode of the electronic component to a position where it is pressed against the mounting target and releasing the holding of the electronic component by the nozzle. On the other hand, if it is determined that the bonding agent is not properly applied to the mounting target, the bonding agent application step is re-executed. Accordingly, the electronic component can be mounted on the mounting target after sufficiently applying the bonding agent to the mounting target, so that it is possible to suppress the occurrence of mounting failure. Also, in the bonding agent application step, the bonding agent is applied to the electrodes of the electronic component held by the nozzle, and the applied bonding agent is transferred to the mounting target, so that the bonding agent is applied to the mounting target. No special nozzle is required.

The pair of support plates 32a and 32b is configured as a rectangular member whose longitudinal direction is the X-axis direction (left-right direction in FIG. 1), and driving wheels and driven wheels are provided at both ends in the longitudinal direction. . The conveyor belts 34a and 34b are stretched over driving wheels and driven wheels provided on the support plates 32a and 32b, and the driving wheels are driven by a driving motor (not shown), so that the substrate 16 is moved from the left in FIG. Transport to the right.

  The backup device 40 includes a backup plate 42 that can be moved up and down by a lifting device (not shown), and a base plate 44 that is mounted on the upper surface of the backup plate 42. The base plate 44 is provided with a plurality of backup pins 46 for backing up the substrate 16 from the back side.

  The component mounting device 50 is driven by an X-axis slider 52 that is moved in the X-axis direction (left-right direction in FIG. 1) by driving an X-axis motor 51 (see FIG. 2) and a Y-axis motor 53 (see FIG. 2). It is moved in the Z-axis direction (vertical direction in FIG. 1) by the Y-axis slider 54 moved in the Y-axis direction (front-rear direction in FIG. 1), the head 60 attached to the X-axis slider 52, and the Z-axis motor 62. At the same time, a suction nozzle 68 mounted on the head 60 and capable of sucking components is rotated around the Z-axis (moved in the θ-axis direction) by the θ-axis motor 64, and the suction nozzle 68 provided on the base 14 is sucked by the suction nozzle 68. A parts camera 70 for photographing the parts, a mark camera 72 for photographing the substrate positioning reference mark provided on the substrate 16 attached to the X-axis slider 52, and a plurality of types of suction nozzles that can be mounted on the head 60. And a solder tray 76 for storing solder as a bonding agent used when bonding components.

  The X-axis slider 52 is attached to a guide rail 55 provided along the X-axis direction on the front surface of the Y-axis slider 54 and is slidable in the X-axis direction while being guided by the guide rail 55. The Y-axis slider 54 is attached to a guide rail 56 provided along the Y-axis direction at the top of the housing 12, and is slidable in the Y-axis direction while being guided by the guide rail 56.

  The head 60 incorporates a Zθ actuator 61 that moves the suction nozzle 68 in the Z-axis direction and the θ-axis direction.

As a result, the screw shaft 62 is rotated around the Z axis. The head 60 also includes a load cell 78 (see FIG. 2) for detecting a load in the Z-axis direction that acts on the suction nozzle 68.

  The suction nozzle 68 uses a negative pressure that is lower than the atmospheric pressure to suck a component at the tip or to release a component sucked at the nozzle tip. The suction nozzle 68 is connected to either the vacuum pump 84 or the air pipe 86 via the electromagnetic valve 82. In order to suck the component to the suction nozzle 68, the electromagnetic valve 82 is positioned so that the vacuum pump 84 and the suction nozzle 68 communicate with each other. As a result, the inside of the suction nozzle 68 has a negative pressure, and the component is sucked to the tip of the suction nozzle 68. On the other hand, in order to remove the component from the suction nozzle 68, the electromagnetic valve 82 is positioned so that the air pipe 86 and the suction nozzle 68 communicate with each other. Thereby, the inside of the suction nozzle 68 becomes a positive pressure, and the parts sucked at the tip of the suction nozzle 68 are removed. Further, the suction nozzle 68 includes a pressure sensor 79 (see FIG. 2) that detects the internal pressure.

  The parts camera 70 is disposed on the front side of the support plate 32 b of the substrate transport apparatus 30. The imaging range of the parts camera 70 is above the parts camera 70. When the suction nozzle 68 that sucks a part passes above the parts camera 70, the part camera 70 captures the state of the part sucked by the suction nozzle 68 and outputs the image to the control device 90. The control device 90 determines whether or not the component is normally adsorbed by comparing the image captured by the parts camera 70 with an image in a normal holding state stored in advance.

  The mark camera 72 is fixed behind the lower end of the X-axis slider 52. The imaging range of the mark camera 72 is below the mark camera 72. The mark camera 72 photographs the substrate positioning reference mark provided on the substrate 16 by the head 60 and outputs the image to the control device 90. The control device 90 determines the position of the substrate by processing the image of the mark photographed by the mark camera 72 and recognizing the position of the mark.

  In the present embodiment, the bonding agent tray 76 stores, as a bonding agent, paste-like solder obtained by mixing solder powder and flux. The bonding agent stored in the bonding agent tray 76 is leveled so that the surface becomes horizontal by a squeegee (not shown).

  As shown in FIG. 2, the control device 90 is configured as a microprocessor centered on a CPU 91, and includes a ROM 92 that stores a processing program, an HDD 93 that stores various data, a RAM 94 that is used as a work area, an external device, and an electrical device. An input / output interface 95 for exchanging signals is provided, and these are connected via a bus 96. An image signal from the parts camera 70 and mark camera 72, a detection signal from the pressure sensor 79, and the like are input to the control device 90 via the input / output interface 95.

The control device 90 is connected to the component supply device 20 and the management computer 100 so as to be capable of bidirectional communication. Note that the X-axis slider 52 and the Y-axis slider 54 are equipped with position sensors (not shown), and the control device 90 inputs the position information from these position sensors and controls the X-axis motor 51 and the Y-axis motor 53. Drive control.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the management computer 100 is configured as a microprocessor centered on a CPU 101, and includes a ROM 102 that stores a processing program, an HDD 103 that stores a production plan of the substrate 16, a RAM 104 that is used as a work area, An input / output interface 105 for exchanging electrical signals with an external device is provided, and these are connected via a bus 106. Further, the management computer 100 can input signals from an input device 112 typified by a mouse and a keyboard via the input / output interface 105, and is connected to the display 114 so that various images can be output. Here, the production plan of the board 16 is a plan that determines which parts are mounted on the board 16 in the component mounting machine 10 and how many boards 16 (assemblies) on which the parts are mounted. Say. The management computer 100 receives a production plan from an operator via the input device 112 and transmits various commands to the component mounting machine 10 so that an assembly is produced according to the received production plan.

  Next, the operation of the component mounting machine 10 configured as described above, in particular, a case where components are mounted using a mounting method by PoP (Package On Package) in which a plurality of components are stacked on the substrate 16 will be described. In this embodiment, a BGA (ball grid array) is used for the upper component, and the lower component electrode and the upper component ball electrode (solder ball) mounted on the substrate 16 are bonded using a bonding agent. Lamination (mounting) is performed by Hereinafter, the process of laminating the upper part on the lower part will be described. Note that the process of mounting the lower component on the substrate 16 does not form the gist of the present invention, and thus the description thereof is omitted. FIG. 3 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the upper component mounting process executed by the control device 90.

  When the component mounting process is executed, the control device 90 first sucks the upper component supplied by the component supply device 20 with the suction nozzle 68 (step S100). In this process, the X-axis motor 51 and the Y-axis motor 53 are controlled so that the suction nozzle 68 comes directly above the upper component supplied by the tray by the component supply device 20, and the tip of the suction nozzle 68 touches the upper surface of the upper component. This is performed by controlling the Z-axis motor 64 so as to contact and controlling the electromagnetic valve 82 so that a negative pressure from the vacuum pump 84 acts on the suction nozzle 68.

  When the upper part 18 is adsorbed by the suction nozzle 68, a bonding agent application step is performed in which the bonding agent is attached to the ball electrode of the upper part that has been adsorbed and the adhered bonding agent is transferred to the electrode of the lower part (step S110). . Here, the process of step S110 is performed by performing the bonding agent application | coating process of FIG. In the bonding agent application step of FIG. 4, first, the X-axis motor 51 and the Y-axis motor 53 are controlled so that the upper part sucked by the suction nozzle 68 is directly above the bonding agent tray 76 (step S200). The Z-axis motor 64 is controlled so that the ball electrode is immersed in the bonding agent stored in the bonding agent tray 76 (step S210). FIG. 5 shows how the ball electrode 18 a of the upper part 18 is immersed in the bonding agent of the bonding agent tray 76. As shown in the figure, the depth of the bonding agent stored in the bonding agent tray 76 is shallower than the diameter of the ball electrode 18 a, and even if the ball electrode 18 a is brought into contact with the bottom of the bonding agent tray 76, The bonding agent adheres only to 18a. Whether or not the ball electrode 18a has contacted the bottom of the bonding agent tray 76 can be detected by the load cell 78. If the bonding agent is attached to the ball electrode of the upper part, then the X-axis motor 51, the Y-axis motor 53, and the θ-axis motor 66 are controlled so that the upper part is directly above the stacking position of the lower part (step S220). The Z-axis motor 64 is controlled so that the ball electrode of the upper part is pressed against the electrode of the lower part (step S230). Then, the Z-axis motor 64 is controlled so that the ball electrode of the upper part is separated from the electrode of the lower part while maintaining the state where the suction nozzle 68 sucks the upper part (step S240), and the bonding agent application process is finished. . FIG. 6 shows how the bonding agent attached to the ball electrode 18 a of the upper part 18 is transferred to the electrode 19 a of the lower part 19. In this embodiment, in order to prevent the bonding agent transferred to the electrode 19a of the lower part 19 from spreading too much, in the process of step S230, the ball electrode 18a of the upper part 18 is applied to the electrode 19a of the lower part 19 with a relatively small load. The Z-axis motor 64 is controlled to be pressed. Specifically, it is performed by controlling the Z-axis motor 64 so that the load detected by the load cell 78 becomes a predetermined target load.

  Returning to the upper component mounting process of FIG. 3, when the bonding agent application step is performed in this manner, the lower component electrode is photographed by the mark camera 72 (step S120), and the lower component electrode is formed based on the image obtained by the photographing. It is determined whether or not the bonding agent is properly applied (step S130). This determination can be made by comparing an image obtained by photographing with an image indicating a normal transfer state stored in advance. If it is determined that the bonding agent has not been sufficiently transferred to the lower part electrode (step S140), the process returns to step S110 to re-execute the bonding agent application process, and the bonding agent has been sufficiently transferred to the lower part electrode. If it is determined (step S140), the upper component mounting process of FIG. 7 is executed (step S150), and the upper component mounting process is terminated.

  In the upper component mounting process of FIG. 7, first, the X-axis motor 51 and the Y-axis motor 53 are controlled so that the upper component is directly above the bonding agent tray 76 as in steps S200 to S220 of the bonding agent application step ( In step S300, the Z-axis motor 64 is controlled so that the ball electrode of the upper part is immersed in the bonding agent in the bonding agent tray 76 (step S310), so that the upper part is positioned directly above the stacking position of the lower part. The shaft motor 51, the Y-axis motor 53, and the θ-axis motor 66 are controlled (step S320). Then, the Z-axis motor 64 is controlled so that the ball electrode of the upper part is pressed against the electrode of the lower part (step S330), and the electromagnetic valve 82 is controlled so that the suction of the upper part by the suction nozzle 68 is released ( Step S340), the component mounting process is terminated. FIG. 8 shows a state in which the upper part 18 is stacked on the lower part 19. In the present embodiment, in order to ensure that the ball electrode 18a of the upper part 18 is bonded to the electrode 19a of the lower part 19, in the process of step S330, the load of the upper part 18 is larger than that of step S230 of the bonding agent application process. The Z-axis motor 64 is controlled so that the ball electrode 18a is pressed against the electrode 19a of the lower part 19.

  In the component mounting machine 10 of the embodiment described above, the ball electrode of the upper part adsorbed by the adsorption nozzle 68 is immersed in the bonding agent in the bonding agent tray 76, and the ball electrode of the upper part is pressed against the electrode of the lower part. The ball electrode of the upper part is transferred to the electrode of the lower part by moving the ball electrode of the upper part away from the electrode of the lower part while the upper part is adsorbed by the suction nozzle 68 (bonding agent application step). Is immersed again in the bonding agent in the bonding agent tray 76, the ball electrode of the upper component is pressed against the electrode of the lower component, and the adsorption of the upper component by the suction nozzle 68 is released, so that the electrode of the upper component is moved to the lower component. Bonding to electrodes (upper component mounting process). This eliminates the need to replace the suction nozzle 68 between the bonding agent application step and the upper component mounting step. When a dedicated nozzle is used for the bonding agent application step, it is necessary to perform a nozzle replacement operation after the bonding agent application step is executed. As a result, the nozzle replacement operation takes time, resulting in a reduction in production efficiency. On the other hand, in the component mounting machine 10 of the embodiment, the same suction nozzle 68 is used in the bonding agent application process and the upper component mounting process, and the replacement of the suction nozzle 68 is unnecessary, so that the production efficiency is further improved. Can be made.

  Further, in the component mounter 10 of the embodiment, when the bonding agent is transferred to the electrode of the lower component, the electrode of the lower component is photographed by the mark camera 72, and the bonding agent is applied to the electrode of the lower component based on the image obtained by the photographing. If it is determined whether or not the bonding agent is sufficiently transferred, and it is determined that the bonding agent is not sufficiently transferred, the bonding agent application step is re-executed, so that occurrence of bonding failure such as insufficient bonding can be suppressed. .

  Furthermore, in the component mounting machine 10 of the embodiment, the load that presses the ball electrode of the upper part against the electrode of the lower part in the bonding agent application process, and the load that presses the ball electrode of the upper part to the electrode of the lower part in the component mounting process. Therefore, the bonding agent transferred to the electrode of the lower part does not spread too much, and the occurrence of bonding failure such as a bridge can be suppressed.

  In the embodiment, after executing the bonding agent application step, it is determined whether or not the bonding agent is sufficiently transferred to the lower component electrode by photographing the lower component electrode with the mark camera 72. Such determination may be omitted. In this case, the process of steps S120 to S140 of the upper component mounting process in FIG. 3 may be omitted.

  In the embodiment, the mark camera 72 that captures the substrate positioning reference mark provided on the substrate also serves as the role of capturing the mounting target. However, the present invention is not limited to this. It is assumed that a photographing means for photographing the mounting target is provided, and when the bonding agent is applied (transferred) to the mounting target, the mounting target is photographed by the photographing means to bond based on the image obtained by photographing. It may be determined whether or not the agent has been properly applied.

  In the embodiment, after bonding agent is applied to the ball electrode of the upper part in the bonding agent application process and then pressed against the electrode of the lower part, the bonding agent is transferred to the electrode of the lower part, and then the upper part is transferred in the component mounting process. It was assumed that the adhesive was reattached to the ball electrode and then joined to the electrode of the lower part. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and after performing the adhesive application process, the adhesive should be reattached. Alternatively, the ball electrode of the upper part may be directly joined to the electrode of the lower part. In this case, the processing of steps S300 and S310 in the component execution process of FIG. 7 may be omitted.

  In the example, the load when pressing the ball electrode of the upper part against the electrode of the lower part in the bonding agent application process was made smaller than the load when pressing the ball electrode of the upper part against the electrode of the lower part in the component mounting process. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and it may be pressed with the same load in both steps.

  In the embodiment, the present invention is applied to the case where the ball electrode of the upper part is bonded to the electrode of the lower part using the PoP mounting method in which a plurality of parts are stacked on the substrate 16, but the present invention is not limited thereto. However, the present invention may be applied to a case where a part having an electrode is directly bonded onto a substrate. Further, the electrode to be used is not necessarily a ball-shaped electrode.

  Here, the correspondence between the main elements of the embodiment and the main elements of the invention described in the column of means for solving the problems will be described.
