Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a material feeding system for an inserter for mounting electronic components on a printed circuit board.

[Conventional technology]

Conventional inserter parts feeding systems generally use a random access type feeding system in which parts are taken out from the end of an arbitrary material feeding device. As shown in Fig. 2, this type has a fixed material supply section where a robot with a chuck 7 moves in X-Y directions to transport parts from any material supply point to any insertion point; There are two types, one in which the material supply point 12 and the insertion point 13 of the component are fixed and the board 10 moves in the X-Y direction, and the other in which the material supply device group moves in the X direction.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

However, in the former prior art described above, the distance between the material supply device, stick material supply device, parts feeder 2, tape material supply device 4, and substrate 10 increases as it approaches the end of the material supply section. The movement stroke becomes large, which is disadvantageous for increasing speed. In the latter conventional technology mentioned above, if the parts are taken out in order from the end of the material supply section, the movement stroke of the movable material supply section 6 becomes smaller, and the X-Y
It is said that parallel processing is advantageous for speeding up the process. However, when moving the stick material feeder 1 or the parts feeder 2 on a table, the larger the number of the material feeders, the heavier the material becomes, which is disadvantageous to speeding up.
If the parts feeder 2 is moved on a table, there are problems such as a marked decrease in sorting ability.

Therefore, the great invention was to solve these problems, and its purpose was to keep the stick material feeder and parts feeder fixed, and to make the material feeding part movable to achieve high speed. It is in.

[Friendly means of solving problems]

The material feeding system of the inserter, which is a great invention, separates the component material feeding section from the fixed part and the movable part.The fixed part has a stick material feeding device and a parts feeder, and the movable part has a tape material feeding device and the fixed part supply. By arranging the parts buffer part and loading the parts supplied to the fixed part from each material supply device to each part buffer part located in the movable part, the STE-REF material supply device, parts feeder, It is characterized in that all the parts supplied by the tape material supply device are taken out from the movable material supply section.

[Effect]

Above mentioned great invention? According to No. 11, although the stick material feeder and parts feeder are fixed, the parts fed by these devices can be taken out from each part buffer on the movable material feeder, and various types of feeders including tape feeders can be used. In terms of configuration, it is possible to realize a random access system with a movable material supply section.

〔Example〕

FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a planar layout of a mounting machine in an embodiment of the present invention. The component supply parts are released from the fixed material supply part 3 and the movable material supply part 6. A stick material supply device 1 and a parts feeder 2 are arranged in the fixed material supply section 3, and a butterfly tape material supply device Wt4 and a parts batcher section 5 are arranged in the movable material supply section 6. The movable material supply section 6 is movable in the X direction, and can deliver components from the fixed material supply section 3 to the component buffer section 5 at two locations: the position shown in the figure and another location. This is because the pitch between the rows of the component buffer sections is set to half the arrangement pitch of the material supply device of the fixed material supply section 3, and components can be supplied to all the component buffers at these two locations. In the position shown in the figure, parts are delivered all at once to the right half of the material supply device of the fixed material supply section 3.

Normally, the delivery of components from the fixed material supply section 3 to the component buffer section 5 is carried out in a manner that includes replenishment of components by utilizing the loading and unloading of the board 10.

The component buffer section 5 is equipped with a mechanism such as a linear feeder or an air chute that always transports components to the end of the material supply, and the chuck 7 can take out as many components as are stored in the buffer from any end of the component buffer. can. Since the tape material supply device 4 is located on the movable material supply section 6, the chuck 7 can directly take out as many parts as desired from any material supply device. A plurality of chucks 7 are provided on a rotary table, and components are mounted on the substrate 10 at component insertion points 13 by rotating the table. The board 10 is positioned on a board holder 11 mounted on an X-Y table 8, and by moving this board in x-y directions, components can be mounted at any position on the board.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, according to the present invention, the stick material feeding device and the parts feeder can be fixed, and only the buffer section for the parts fed by these devices and the tape material feeding device are located in the movable material feeding section, and the parts feeder can be moved. , ■ The speed can be increased by reducing the weight of the movable material supply section, ■ The parts feeder can be fixed, and it can support fixed types of supply formats including this. ■ A large number of material supply devices can be installed in the fixed material supply section. , etc.

Claims (1)

[Claims] (1) The component supply section consists of a fixed section and a movable section.The fixed section is equipped with a stick supply device and parts feeder, and the movable section is equipped with a tape material supply device and a buffer section for supplying parts. By loading the parts that are supplied to the parts at once from each material supply device to each component buffer located in the movable section, all parts supplied by the stick material supply device, parts feeder, and tape material supply device can be loaded at once. An inserter material feeding system characterized in that material is taken out from a movable material feeding section.
