JPS649700A - Assembly line of multi-item and multi-shape printed board - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To enhance the accuracy of the printed board production management by directly coupling the respective automatic electronic component insertion equipment, providing a work monitor for determining the items and measuring the precision of printed boards in front of the group of the respective automatic electronic component insertion equipment, thereby simulatively mass-producing a multi-item and small amount production to make the production cost equal to mass production. CONSTITUTION:For the item determination of a printed board 2, the whole printed board 2 is picked up by a television camera 14 attached to a work monitor 8 which is positioned in front of a group of respective automatic electronic component insertion equipments 9. And the image processing of the printed board 2 which has been picked up is performed to detect a bar code paper, and the item kind of the printed board is determined by reading the bar code. The printed board precision performs the image processing of the silhouette of the component insertion holes picked up by an under lighting 21 with the television camera 14, based on the information for the component insertion position existing in the corresponding buried information which has been determined by a host computer 11 according to the item kind information read by a bar code reader, and it is sent to the group of the respective automatic electronic component insertion equipment 9 and, as an NC information, inserts the electronic components of the corresponding printed board on a printed board conveying carrier 1. With this, multi-item and multi-shape printed boards can freely be put in the line.
