- this is converted into angle information (deviation amount) data stored in step 7 (S7B).
- the correction table A can also be used (of course, even if the error is large, the absolute sensor is directly used. 48 angle information can be read and converted into the pin number of the sprocket 32).
- actual angle errors ( ⁇ 0, ⁇ 1, ⁇ 2,... ⁇ 11) are obtained.
- This can be solved by using the correction table B shown in FIG. 16 corresponding to the minimum operation amount. That is, by using the correction table B, the command value to the drive motor 33 is increased or decreased to cancel the error.
- the correction value in the correction table B may be angle data or control information converted into a motor command value, but an ABZ encoder (for example, provided in the drive motor 33 for driving control of the sprocket 32 (for example, The angle information obtained by a motor encoder that is counted 1440 while the drive motor makes one rotation is characterized by the combined use.
- the tape feeder gear unit 11 acquires the angle information of the absolute sensor 48 for each angle equally divided until the sprocket 32 makes one rotation, and the angle information obtained from the motor encoder provided in the drive motor 33, A correction table B (inside the thick frame in FIG. 15) based on the angle information of the absolute sensor 48 for rotating the sprocket 32 for each angle and the angle information of the drive motor 33 is created. Then, the rotation of the drive motor 33 is controlled by the feeder controller 35 using the correction table B.
- the angle information of the absolute sensor 48 for each angle obtained by equally dividing the sprocket 32 until one rotation is not limited to the case of equally dividing the number of pins, and it is also possible to further equally divide between pins. is there.
- the correction table B can be created relatively easily if a rotary encoder having high resolution is used for the external measuring instrument 57. Or even if it is a case where optical apparatuses, such as a camera, are used, the correction table B can be created by using a calculation together.
- the rotation of the drive motor 33 is controlled based on the correction table having the correction value for each pin of the sprocket 32, whereby the stop position of the tape 26 after pitch feeding or the sprocket 32 after the index rotation is performed.
- the stop position is adjusted to the reference stop position.
- the angle information of the absolute sensor 48 since the angle information of the absolute sensor 48 only needs to be able to recognize which pin of the sprocket 32 is near the absolute sensor 48, a very inexpensive sensor can be used without using a high-precision sensor for the absolute sensor. Even with the use of, the high-precision control can be performed by using the information of the high-resolution motor encoder originally provided in the drive motor 33 together.
- a sensor is disposed opposite to a transmission gear having a rotation ratio of 1: N that meshes with the final gear 42 provided in the sprocket 32. This eliminates the need for opening a sensor on the side of the particularly large sprocket 32 among the components of the tape feeder 10.
- the final gear 42 shown in FIG. Since the sprocket 32 has a direction along the rotation center axis that is the width W direction of the feeder housing 41, the sprocket 32 with the final gear 42 coaxially stacked has a large thickness. In the meantime, only the small gap Ws shown in FIG. 5 is secured. Therefore, in the present configuration, the transmission gear having a rotation ratio with the final gear 42 of 1: N (that is, the third transmission gear 47) is a single sheet, so that in the arrangement region of the third transmission gear 47, A large gap Wb in which the sensor can be sufficiently arranged in the width W direction of the feeder housing 41 is ensured. This eliminates the need to secure a space for arranging the sprocket 32, the final gear 42 and the sensor in the width W direction of the feeder housing 41, and prevents the tape feeder 10 from being enlarged in the thickness direction.
- N that is, the third transmission gear 47
- the tape feeder 10 has a rotation ratio of the transmission gear (the third transmission gear 47) whose angle is detected by the sensor to the final gear 42, so that the angle of the sprocket 32 can be obtained by simple arithmetic processing. Can be detected at high speed.
- the third transmission gear 47 is provided on the opposite side of the sprocket 32 with respect to the center line 44 in the width direction of the tape feeder 10.
- the tape feeder 10 and the tape feeder gear unit 11 according to the present invention it is possible to reduce the thickness while adjusting the stop position of the tape 26 after pitch feeding with high accuracy.
- the present invention is suitable for application to a tape feeder and a tape feeder gear unit that are mounted on an electronic component mounting apparatus to supply electronic components.

Abstract
Description
図1は本発明に係る実施形態のテープフィーダを備える電子部品実装装置の平面図、図2は図1に示したテープフィーダの斜視図、図3はテープフィーダの構成を表す側面図、図4(A)はテープの平面図、図4(B)は部品吸着ノズルが位置されたテープの側面図、図4(C)はピンの上方にカメラが配置されたスプロケットの要部側面図、図5はテープフィーダ用ギヤユニットの平面図、図6はギヤユニットの側面図、図7は凹凸パターンが側面に伝達ギヤとセンサとからなるエンコーダの模式図である。
テープフィーダ10は台車(図示せず)に保持されており、オペレータが台車を操作することにより電子部品実装装置12に対して着脱自在となっている。テープフィーダ10には図2に示すテープリール25が装着されており、電子部品を等ピッチで収納した図3に示すテープ26が巻回されている。
なお、これら歯数や減速比は一例であり本発明はこれらの歯数や減速比に限定されない。
なお、パターン形成面50と、そこに形成された凹凸パターン51とを併せてエンコーダ49と称するものとする。
あるいは、図示しない高精度なロータリーエンコーダをスプロケット32の回転軸上に、該スプロケット32と同期して回転するように取り付け、スプロケット32の回転角度を直接検出するようにすることもできる。このロータリーエンコーダは、後述の補正テーブルBを作成する際に使用するもので、補正テーブルBの作成が済んだ後は取り外す必要があるが、カメラ等の光学系外部計測器に比べ、比較的簡単に高精度な測定が可能となる。
この補正工程は、個々のテープフィーダ用ギヤユニット毎に1回実施すれば足りるため、通常はギヤユニットが完成した時あるいは完成する直前に補正工程を設けている。なお、一度記憶した補正テーブルAや補正テーブルBは、そのギヤユニット固有の補正データとして使用される。
補正テーブルAは、駆動モータ33の回転角(理論値)に対するアブソリュートセンサ48の角度情報との角度誤差情報に基づく補正テーブルである。
ステップ(S1A)では補正テーブルAをクリアする。ステップ2(S2A)では駆動モータ33を1回動作させる。スプロケット32のピン31の数が30とした場合には、駆動モータ33が1回動作するごとに、スプロケット32が12度回転(360度/30=12度)するように設定する。ステップ3(S3A)ではアブソリュートセンサ48の角度情報を読み込む。ステップ4(S4A)では補正テーブルAにデータを保存する。ステップ5(S5A)ではアブソリュートセンサ48が1周(この場合、駆動モータ33が30回動作)したかを確認する。30回動作した場合、スプロケット32のそれぞれのピン31に対応する補正テーブルAが完成する。30回動作していない場合は、ステップ2(S2A)~ステップ5(S5A)を繰り返す。
ここで、補正テーブルAについて、スプロケットの歯が4歯でギヤが1/12減速の簡易化スプロケット61の場合を例に説明する。簡易化スプロケット61は、1回の最小動作量(駆動モータ33を1回転させた時の簡易化スプロケット61の回転角度)は、ギヤが1/12減速であることから、ピン31とピン31との間を1/3にした角度となる。
この場合、それぞれの伝達ギヤの誤差やセンサノイズ等を考慮した両端の5度は使用しないようにして、120度±12.5度の範囲の角度情報を検出することにより、簡易化スプロケット61のピン31がおおよそどの位置にあるか(ピンの位置情報)を検出することができる。
すなわち、アブソリュートセンサ48が理想状態であれば、2番目のピンから1/3動作したところと判別されるべきところ、誤差が大きい場合には、図11(B)に示すように、2番目のピンから2/3動作したところと誤判別されてしまうことになる。
補正テーブルBは、スプロケット32のピン位置に対する駆動モータ33の角度情報と、アブソリュートセンサ48の角度情報に基づく補正テーブルである。
ステップ(S1B)では補正テーブルBをクリアする。ステップ2(S2B)では駆動モータ33を1回動作させる。ステップ3(S3B)ではアブソリュートセンサ48の角度情報を読み込む。ステップ4(S4B)ではアブソリュートセンサ48の角度情報をスプロケット32のピン番号に変換する。ステップ5(S5B)では補正テーブルBにアブソリュートセンサ48のデータを保存する。このアブソリュートセンサ48の角度情報は、1つのピン番号に対して一定の幅の角度情報となる場合もある。ステップ6(S6B)では外部計測器57により、スプロケット32のピン位置のずれ量を計測する。ステップ7(S7B)では補正テーブルBに駆動モータ33の角度情報(ずれ量)のデータを保存する。ステップ8(S8B)ではスプロケット32が1周(この場合、駆動モータ33が30回動作)したかを確認する。30回動作した場合、補正テーブルBが完成する。30回動作していない場合、ステップ2(S2B)~ステップ8(S8B)を繰り返す。
ここで、補正テーブルBについて、上記同様の簡易化スプロケット61の場合を例に説明する。補正テーブルBは、外部計測器57が使用されることにより得られる。伝達ギヤやスプロケット32の加工誤差がない場合、動作回数に応じた角度は図15に示す理想角度となる。しかし、実際の角度は、誤差(α0、α1、α2、・・・α11)を含んだ角度となる。
次に、外部計測器57により、スプロケット32のピン位置のずれ量を計測し、このずれ量が駆動モータ33の内部に備えているABZエンコーダ(図示せず、図10参照)の何カウント分に相当するのかを演算して、このカウント数をその時のピン番号に対応する駆動モータ33の角度情報(ずれ量)として、補正テーブルBに保存する(S6B、S7B)。
そこで、駆動モータ33を回転基準としたときのスプロケット32のピン位置を外部計測器57により計測し、この外部計測器57として高精度なロータリーエンコーダを使用している場合には、得られた角度情報から誤差角度に相当する駆動モータの動作角度(何カウントに相当するか)を算出し、これをステップ7(S7B)により保存される角度情報(ずれ量)データとする。
なお、前述したように、伝達ギヤやアブソリュートセンサ48が理想状態でなく誤差が大きい場合には、補正テーブルAを併せて用いることもできる(勿論、誤差が大きい場合であっても、直接アブソリュートセンサ48の角度情報を読み込み、スプロケット32のピン番号に変換することもできる)。
そして、この補正テーブルBを用いてフィーダ制御部35によって駆動モータ33を回転制御するものである。
