前記制御装置が、
吸着ノズルの検査に先立って、前記基準対象を利用して、前記ノズル検査装置による検査の基準の設定と、前記ノズル検査装置の校正との少なくとも一方を、準備処理として行う基準対象依拠検査準備処理部を有する(101)項ないし(111)項のいずれか1つに記載のノズル管理機。
管理機による管理の対象となる吸着ノズルが使用されている電子部品装着機を、図1に、一例として、示す。図では、同じ構造の2台の装着機10が、ベース12に並設されている(図では、手前側のものの外装パネルが取り除かれている)。装着機10は、基板Sを搬送するとともに設定位置に固定するコンベア型の基板搬送装置14と、それぞれが部品Pを供給する複数のフィーダ型の部品供給装置16と、それら部品供給装置16から供給される部品Pを固定された基板Sに装着するための装着ヘッド18と、その装着ヘッド18を部品供給装置16と固定された基板Sとの間で移動させるヘッド移動装置20とを含んで構成されている。装着ヘッド18は、下端部に吸着ノズルNが取り付けられた動作軸22と、その動作軸22を昇降および回転させる動作軸昇降回転装置(図示を省略)とを含んで構成されている。ちなみに、図に示す装着ヘッド18は、インデックス型の装着ヘッドであり、動作軸22は、複数のノズルNを取り付け可能とされている。部品供給装置16から供給される部品Pは、ノズルNの先端(下端)において吸着保持され、保持された部品Pは、装着ヘッド18が基板Sの上方に移動させられた後、ノズルNによる吸着保持が解除されることで、基板S上に装着される。ちなみに、部品Pを基板S上の適正位置に適正な姿勢で装着するため、その部品Pは、ノズルNに吸着保持された状態で、当該装着機10に設けられた部品カメラ22によって下方から撮像され、撮像によって得られた保持位置および保持姿勢のデータが、装着の際に利用される。
図4に外観を示すように、実施例の管理機80は、概して直方体形状をなし、比較的コンパクトなサイズのものとなっている。当該管理機80の正面(図における左側の面)には、後に詳しく説明する引出82が設けられている。また、正面上部には、当該管理機80の制御装置としてのコントローラ84が付設されている。コントローラ84は、コンピュータを主要構成要素として構成されるものであり、ディスプレイ86,操作キー88,スイッチ90等の入出力デバイスを有している。外装パネルを外した状態の管理機80を、図5に、逆方向の視点から見たその管理機80を、図6に、それぞれ示す。以下に、それらの図を参照しつつ、本管理機80の内部構造について説明する。ちなみに、図5における左方が当該管理機80の前方であり、右方が当該管理機80の後方である。
ノズル収容装置100は、それぞれに上述のパレットが収容される複数のパレットキャリア(以下、単に「キャリア」と言う場合がある)130と、それらキャリア130を循環させるキャリア循環機構(以下、単に「循環機構」という場合がある)132とを有しており、それら複数のキャリア130と循環機構132とによって、複数のパレットを当該収容装置130内において移動させるパレット移動装置(以下、単に「移動装置」と言う場合がある)134が構成されている。以下に、収容装置100を、パレットと、移動装置134とに分けて説明する。
パレットNPは、ノズルNを載置させるためのノズル載置器として機能するものであり、図12に示すように、先に説明したトレイNTと同様、ベースプレート140とベースプレート140の上面を覆うカバーレプート142とを含んで構成されている。図12(a)は、カバープレート142がベースプレート140に対してズレた状態を示しており、図12(b)は、カバープレート142がベースプレート140にちょうど重なった状態を示している。カバープレート142はそれら2つの状態における位置の間で摺動可能とされている。
先に説明したように、パレット移動装置134は、複数のパレットキャリア130とキャリア循環機構132とを含んで構成されている。キャリア130は、概してチャンネル形状、つまり、断面が“コ”の字状をなす形状の部材とされており、当該チャンネル形状における開口が下方を向く姿勢で配置されている。キャリア130には、下端部に、詳しくは、チャンネル形状における2つのフランジの下端部の内側に、1対のレール170が付設されており、上述したパレットNPは、その1対のレール170によって、前方に向かって抜出可能に、また、前方から挿入可能に、保持される。
トレイ収容装置102は、先に説明したノズルトレイNTを収容する装置で、ノズル収容装置100のパレット移動装置134と同様のトレイ移動装置(以下、単に、「移動装置」という場合がある)190を備えており、その移動装置190を主要構成要素として構成されている。移動装置190は、パレット移動装置134と同様に、それぞれにトレイNTが収容される複数のトレイキャリア(以下、単に「キャリア」と言う場合がある)192と、それらキャリア192循環させるキャリア循環機構(以下、単に「循環機構」という場合がある)194とを備えている。
管理機80では、収容装置100に収容されているノズルNをトレイNTへセッティングするために、パレットNPからそのトレイNTへのそのノズルNが移載され、また、収容装置100にノズルNを収容するために、そのノズルNがトレイNTからパレットNPに移載される。前者を「セッティング移載」と、後者を「収容移載」と、それぞれ呼べば、それらセッティング移載および収容移載は、当該管理機80の前方側上部に位置する上述のノズル移載装置104によって行われる。
第1ノズル検査装置106は、ノズル移載装置104の下方に位置し、先に説明したように、2つの検査項目の検査、具体的には、先端部状態検査および後退必要力検査を実行する装置である。図8を参照しつつ説明すれば、上述の収容装置100内の設定位置、つまり、第1検査装置対応ステーションに位置させられたパレットNPが、上述の第2パレット移送装置116(構造については、後述する)によって検査位置まで移送された後、そのパレットNPに載置されているノズルNについての先端部状態検査および後退必要力検査が、第1検査装置106によって、ともにノズルNの下方から行われる。なお、図に示すパレットNPの位置が、上記検査位置であり、第2移送装置116には、その検査位置においてパレットNPを固定するパレット固定機構(図示を省略)が設けられている。ちなみに、図では、パレットNPに載置されているノズルNは、簡素化のため、省略されている。
第2ノズル検査装置108は、第1ノズル検査装置106の下方に位置し、先に説明したように、2つの検査項目の検査、具体的には、通過流量検査および識別子読取検査を実行する装置である。図9を参照しつつ説明すれば、上述の収容装置100内の設定位置、つまり、第2検査装置対応ステーションに位置させられたパレットNPが、上述の第3パレット移送装置118(構造については、後述する)によって検査位置まで移送された後、そのパレットNPに載置されているノズルNについての通過流量検査および識別子読取検査が、第2検査装置108によって、ともにノズルNの上方から行われる。なお、図に示すパレットNPの位置が、上記検査位置であり、第3移送装置118には、その検査位置においてパレットNPを固定するパレット固定機構(図示を省略)が設けられている。ちなみに、図では、パレットNPに載置されているノズルNは、簡素化のため、省略されている。
ノズル洗浄装置110は、第2ノズル検査装置108の下方に位置し、また、ノズル乾燥装置112は、洗浄装置110と上述の収容装置100との間に位置している。当該管理機80には、それら洗浄装置110および乾燥装置112に関連してハウジング300が設けられている。図10は、ハウジング300の存在する状態においてそれら洗浄装置110および乾燥装置112を示しており、図11は、ハウジング300を取り除いてそれら洗浄装置110および乾燥装置112を示している。それらの図を参照しつつ説明すれば、収容装置100内の設定位置、つまり、洗浄装置対応ステーションに位置させられたパレットNPが、上述の第4パレット移送装置120(構造については、後述する)によって洗浄位置まで移送された後、その位置において、そのパレットNPに載置されているノズルNに対して、洗浄装置110による洗浄が行われる。そして、洗浄の後、そのパレットNPが第4パレット移送装置120によって洗浄装置対応ステーションに移送される間に、そのパレットNPに載置されて洗浄が終了したノズルNに対して、乾燥装置112による乾燥が行われる。図に示すパレットNPの位置が、上記洗浄位置であり、第4移送装置120には、その検査位置においてパレットNPを固定するパレット固定機構(図示を省略)が設けられている。ちなみに、図では、パレットNPに載置されているノズルNは、簡素化のため、省略されている。
それぞれがノズル移送装置である第1~第4パレット移送装置114~120は、先に説明したように収容装置100と、対応する対ノズル処置実行装置との間で、パレットNPを移送する装置である。第1,第2,第3移送装置114,116,118は、略同一の構造を有しており、第4移送装置120は、若干、それら第1,第2,第3移送装置114,116,118とは異なる構造を有している。
上記構成の管理機80は、制御装置であるコントローラ84の制御によって、種々のオペレーションを行う。詳しく言えば、コントローラ84が、種々のプログラムを実行することにより、実行されたプログラムに応じたオペレーションを行う。また、それらのオペレーションは、管理情報、つまり、収容されているノズルNおよびトレイNTを管理する中で作成若しくは取得されるそれらノズルNおよびトレイNTについての情報に基づいて行われる。以下に、その管理情報を例示して説明した後、管理機80が行ういくかのオペレーションを例示して、それらを、順次、説明する。
コントローラ84は、収容されているノズルNについての管理情報として、「収容ノズル情報」を記憶している。収容ノズル情報は、図19の収容ノズル情報テーブルとして模式的に表すことのできるものであり、簡単に言えば、どのキャリア130に収容されているどのパレットNPのどの載置穴144にどんなノズルNが収容されているかを示す情報である。言い換えれば、収容されているノズルNの固有情報が収容装置100における収容位置に関連付けられた態様の情報である。以下の説明では、収容ノズル情報は、上記テーブルの形式で記憶されているものとして扱い、そのテーブルを基に、収容ノズル情報について具体的に説明する。
ノズル収容オペレーションは、例えば装着機において使用されたノズルNの洗浄,検査,保管等を目的として、トレイNTに載置されたノズルNを収容装置100に収容するためのオペレーションであり、そのオペレーションは、コントローラ84が図22にフローチャートを示すノズル収容プログラムを実行することによって、行われる。当該管理機80のオペレータが、ノズルNが載置されているトレイNTを、上述の引出82を開けて、上述の固定ステージ204または可動ステージ204にセットした後、当該オペレーションの開始の指令を、コントローラ84の操作キー88によって入力することによって、当該オペレーションが開始する。なお、固定ステージ202にトレイNTがセットされた場合は、ノズルNが収容された後にトレイNTを残したまま、当該オペレーションが終了する。一方、可動ステージ204にトレイNTがセットされた場合は、ノズルNが収容された後にトレイNTを収容装置102に収容するか否かを、オペレータの操作キー88を用いた入力操作に基づいて選択可能とされており、その選択に従って、当該オペレーションが終了する。
ノズルセッティングオペレーションは、装着機におけるノズルNの使用の準備等を目的として、必要なノズルNをトレイNTにセッティングするためのオペレーションであり、そのオペレーションは、図23にフローチャートを示すノズルセッティングプログラムをコントローラ84が実行することによって、行われる。なお、ノズルセッティングオペレーションでは、ノズルNをセッティングするためのステージを固定ステージ202と可動ステージ204のいずれにするか、収容装置102に収容されているトレイNTと当該管理機80のオペレータがセットしたトレイNTとのいずれを使用するか、セッティングが完了したトレイNTを収容装置102に収容するか否かが、それぞれ選択できるようになっており、それらの選択は、オペレータによるコントローラ84の操作キー88を用いた操作に基づいて行われる。
ノズル再セッティングオペレーションは、既にノズルNがセッティングされているトレイNTをステージにセットすることにより、それらのノズルNに代えて、それらのノズルNと型式を同じくする別のノズルNを載置させるオペレーションである。言い換えれば、セッティング済みのトレイNTを基にノズルセッティング情報を作成し、その情報に基づいて、ノズルを交換するオペレーションである。ノズルセッティングオペレーションは、コントローラ84が図24および図25にフローチャートを示すノズル再セッティングプログラムを実行することによって、行われる。なお、ノズルセッティングオペレーションでは、ノズルNをセッティングするためのステージを固定ステージ202と可動ステージ204のいずれにするか、再セッティングが完了したトレイNTを収容装置102に収容するか否かが、それぞれ選択できるようになっており、それらの選択は、オペレータによるコントローラ84の操作キー88を用いた操作に基づいて行われる。
ノズル洗浄オペレーションは、収容装置100内の1つのパレットNPに載置されているノズルNを、そのパレットNPごと洗浄し、乾燥させるオペレーションである。ノズルNの洗浄および乾燥の詳細については先に説明されているため、ここでは、当該オペレーションの流れを中心に説明する。ちなみに、このオペレーションおよび後に説明する第1,第2検査オペレーションの3つのオペレーションは、いずれも、本実施例で説明する他のオペレーションのいずれに対しても独立して実行される。つまり、他のオペレーションが実行中であるか否かに拘わらず、他のオペレーションの対象となっているパレットNP以外のパレットNPに載置されているノズルNに対して、設定された条件を満たす限り、3つのオペレーションのいずれをも実行することができるのである。
第1ノズル検査オペレーションは、収容装置100内の1つのパレットNPに載置されているノズルNに対して、第1検査装置106による先端部状態検査および後退必要力検査を行うオペレーションであり、図27にフローチャートを示す第1ノズル検査プログラムが実行されることによって、行われる。なお先端部状態検査および後退必要力検査についての詳細は先に説明されているので、ここでは、当該オペレーションの流れを中心に説明する。
第2ノズル検査オペレーションは、収容装置100内の1つのパレットNPに載置されているノズルNに対して、第2検査装置108による識別子読取検査および通過流量検査を行うオペレーションであり、図28にフローチャートを示す第2ノズル検査プログラムが実行されることによって、行われる。なお識別子読取検査および通過流量検査についての詳細は先に説明されているので、ここでは、当該オペレーションの流れを中心に説明する。
先に述べたように、実施例の管理機80の制御は、制御装置であるコントローラ84が司っている。詳しく言えば、図29に示すように、ノズル収容装置100~トレイ移送装置122の各々の動作は、それらとの間で信号,情報をやり取りしつつ、コントローラ84によって制御される。そして、コントローラ84の制御の下、管理機80は、上述した各種のオペレーションを行う。そのオペレーションに鑑みれば、コントローラ84は、図29に示すような複数の機能部、つまり、各種のプログラムの実行によって実現される複数の機能部を有していると考えることができる。
