Abstract

PURPOSE:To enable easy, rapid, and accurate discrimination inexpensively by applying a laser beam to an edge section of a punched-out section of a lead frame and by discriminating between the right and the wrong side thereof from the difference reflected light. CONSTITUTION:A lead frame 1 after punched out is put on a transportation belt 5 to be transported to a specified position. A photoelectric switch 6 which can irradiate a laser beam to the lead frame 1 under transportation is provided with a photoprojecting section 7 and a photosensitive section 8 of the laser beam. Laser beam is successively irradiated from the photoprojecting section 7 of the photoelectric switch 6 to an edge section 4 of a punched-out section 3 which is used as a feed hole. Here, if the edge section 4 is the right side, reflected light is injected to the photosensitive section 8, and if it is the wrong side, the photosensitive section 8 can not receive incident light because of irregular reflection. Therefore, it is possible to discriminate the right and the wrong side of a lead frame from whether or not incident light is directed to the photosensitive section 8. Operation can be thereby carried out readily, accurately, rapidly and inexpensively.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) However, in the former case, there are disadvantages in that the discrimination takes time, is uneven, and is prone to errors. In addition, in the latter case, it is usually necessary to stop the lead frame during recognition work, resulting in intermittent operation, which is inefficient, and requires high precision in the stopping position, which complicates control. The disadvantage is that it is very expensive.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a method for determining the front and back sides of a punched lead frame, in which a laser beam is irradiated to the corner of the punched part, and the reflected light changes. The present invention provides a method for determining the front and back sides of a lead frame by which the front and back sides of a lead frame can be determined.

When this corner is irradiated with a laser beam, the reflected light will be different on the front side and the back side, and the former will have a converged reflected light.

Therefore, by determining the irradiation angle of the laser beam in advance and installing the light receiving section at a predetermined position, the front and back sides of the lead frame can be determined by the reflected light.

(実施例) 以下、本発明を実施例に基づいて説明する。(Example) Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained based on examples.
