Description

  The present invention relates to a supply component transfer device that mounts a component supplied from a component supply device on a temporary table and supplies the component to a component mounting machine.

  In general, in a component mounting machine, a component supplied from a component supply device is sucked from above by a suction nozzle, the component is picked up by a camera from below, and the position of the component is detected by image processing, and the detection is performed. Based on the result, the positional deviation of the component is corrected and the component is mounted on the circuit board.

  However, in recent years, there has been a demand to mount a component on a circuit board by correcting the positional deviation of the component based on electrodes, positioning marks, patterns, etc. existing on the upper surface of the component.

  In order to meet such a demand, a component mark supply camera equipped on a component mounter is used to capture an image of a component supplied from a component supply device from above, and image processing of the component is performed. An electrode on the upper surface, a positioning mark, a pattern, or the like is recognized, and the positional deviation of the component is corrected based on the recognition result and mounted on a circuit board.

  In this case, since the component is sucked by the suction nozzle after the position of the component is detected, the position of the component may be shifted during the suction operation. For example, when using a soft tray or a soft component supply tape, the tray or tape is deformed when the component is sucked by the suction nozzle, and the posture of the component is changed by the deformation and the position of the component is shifted. Sometimes. If the position of the component is shifted during the suction operation, a difference occurs between the position of the component detected before suction and the position of the component after suction, which adversely affects the mounting accuracy of the component.

  In order to solve this problem, as described in Patent Document 1 (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2001-113421) and Patent Document 2 (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2004-221130), suction is performed on a suction nozzle of a component mounting machine. A hard temporary table for mounting the mounted parts is provided, and the components sucked by the suction nozzle are placed on the temporary table and positioned, and then the components on the temporary table are re-sucked by the suction nozzle and mounted on the circuit board. Things have been done.
