Abstract

The present invention relates to a method for mounting a component of a surface mounter and a device therefor. In the related art, even when a plurality of heads for adsorption and mounting of components are installed, the heads are fixed in the X and Y directions so that the adsorption and mounting of the components are performed sequentially. As a result, there is a problem in that the time for adsorption and mounting of components is increased, so that rapid component mounting is not achieved. The present invention allows a plurality of heads to be individually moved in the X and Y directions to simultaneously adsorb components. In addition, the adsorption and mounting of the components can be simultaneously mounted so that the adsorption and mounting of the components can be shortened to increase productivity.

Parts mounting method of surface mounter and its device

The present invention relates to a method for mounting a component of a surface mounter and a device therefor, and in particular, a surface mounter which not only adsorbs a plurality of components at the same time but also simultaneously mounts a plurality of adsorbed components to quickly adsorb and mount the components. It relates to a component mounting method and apparatus thereof.

The recent trend toward miniaturization of electrical and electronic products has led to higher density, miniaturization, and diversification of electronic components. Therefore, the commercialization of Surface Mounting Technology (SMT) has been accelerated in the production of printed circuit board (PCB) assembly. The surface mounting technology is largely classified into the development of a surface mounting device (SMD) and the assembly technology of the surface mounting component. The development of surface-mounted parts is in the trend of miniaturization and integration with the development of semiconductor technology, and the assembly technology is focused on the development of precision assembly equipment and the operation technology of various assembly equipment required for surface mounting of these components. have. A surface mounter is a device for mounting surface-mounted parts on a printed circuit board. It is a core equipment of surface-mounted assembly equipment, and receives various surface-mounted parts supplied in the form of tape, stick, and tray from a feeder to a printed circuit board. It is a equipment to transfer to the mounting position on the floor and to mount on the printed circuit board.

On the other hand, two factors that determine the performance of the surface mounter are the accuracy of the mounting of how accurately the components can be mounted on the printed circuit board and the speed of the mounting of how many components can be mounted in a short time.

1A and 1B show an example of a surface mounter, and as shown therein, the surface mounter is mounted on both sides of the worktable 1 and the sides of the worktable 1, which form a reference frame. A component feeder (2) for supplying a metal, an X-axis frame (3a) and a Y-axis frame (3b) are provided to determine the working position and the XY table (3) and installed in the work table (1) And a conveyor (4) for conveying the working printed circuit board (P) and the surface-mounted components mounted on the XY table (3) and supplied by the component feeder (2), and placed on the printed circuit board (P). It comprises a mounting apparatus which comprises the head unit 5 to mount.

The surface mounter as described above is a component feeder in which the head unit 5 is supplied by the XY table 3 when the printed circuit board P on which the surface mount component is mounted is transferred to the work space by the conveyor 4. Moving to (2) to adsorb the component, the head unit 5 which adsorbs the component is moved to the mounting position of the printed circuit board P by the XY table 3 to mount the component.

Meanwhile, in the above structure, the head unit 5 that absorbs and mounts the surface mount component is not only equipped with a plurality of heads 6 but also has various forms depending on the operation method.

2 shows an example of a conventional surface mounter head unit, and as shown in the drawing, the head unit 5 of the conventional surface mounter is in the X axis direction on the X axis frame 3a of the XY table 3. A plurality of heads 6 are coupled to a Z-axis plate that is movable as well as movable up and down. The head 6 is coupled to the head body 8 is coupled to the Z-axis plate 7 and located in the vertical direction to the lower portion of the head body 8 and the nozzle shaft formed with an air nozzle 9a therein ( 9) and a nozzle bar (10) coupled to an end of the nozzle shaft (9) to adsorb the component, and optionally the tool (11) for aligning the adsorbed components to the nozzle shaft (9). Is combined. And the pneumatic cylinder 12 is coupled to the upper side of the head (6).

The operation of the head unit 5 to suck and mount the components is as follows.

The head unit 5 is moved by the position set by the XY table 3, first, the head unit 5 is moved by the drive of the XY table 3, the upper side of the component feeder 2 to which the component is supplied When located in the Z-axis plate (7) is lowered down a certain distance and then the pneumatic cylinder (12) coupled to the head (6) that is to suck the components to operate the nozzle bar 10 is lowered and air Pneumatic pressure is generated by the nozzle 9a to adsorb the component. After completing the adsorption of the components on the one head 6, the head unit 5 is moved to absorb the components to the other head (6). When the components are adsorbed to each of the several heads 6 installed in the head unit 5 and the adsorption process is completed, the head unit 5 rises and the head unit 5 is moved by the XY table 3. Will move to the mounting position. The head unit 5 moved to the mounting position is lowered by a certain distance, and each component adsorbed to each head 6 of the head unit 5 is moved one by one in the mounting order determined in the reverse order of the adsorption operation. It is mounted at the mounting position of P). The process as described above is repeated to adsorb and mount the components.

However, in the conventional component mounting apparatus of the surface mounter, the head 6 is moved up and down in the Z-axis direction in a state where a plurality of the heads 6 fixed in the X and Y directions are installed with respect to the head portion itself which absorbs and mounts the components. Each head (6) is made in sequence when the movement to absorb and mount the parts, so that the time to adsorb and mount the parts is long, there is a problem that the rapid assembly of the parts is not made to reduce the assembly productivity.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to allow each head to independently drive X and Y directions with respect to the head unit itself, so as not only to adsorb a plurality of parts at the same time but also to mount a plurality of adsorbed parts simultaneously. The present invention provides a component mounting method and an apparatus for a surface mounter for quickly adsorbing and mounting.
