The position of the head unit after this movement is taken as the first imaging position.

The deviation value (X2, Y2) from the center of the image is measured by image processing and stored in the control device 12.
- the imaging center of the imaging device 9 and the ejection port center of the ejection device 16 are on the same straight line in the X direction (symbol 6), the shift amount (X1-X2) in the X direction (symbol 6). ) Can be obtained.

Since there is, explanation is omitted.

次に、駆動装置を動作させることにより、前記の補正用位置と撮像装置の撮像中心を一致させ、撮影を行う。
最後に、塗布点中心と撮像中心とが一致するかを画像処理を行い、判定する。
また、塗布パターンが複数箇所の塗布を連続して行うものである場合、位置ずれ計測箇所も複数箇所で行うことが必要となるが、移動距離が長くなる分、絶対位置決め精度による位置ずれの影響を受け易い。
上記作業装置において、直動装置の往復移動ストロークが、撮像装置と作業ヘッド装置との設置間隔と同じ距離以上かつ駆動装置のストロークよりも短い距離であることを特徴としてもよい。
上記作業装置において、作業ヘッド装置が吐出装置であることを特徴としてもよい。
上記作業方法において、前記作業対象物が複数個の作業対象物からなり、前記作業対象物のそれぞれに対する作業の開始前に、制御装置が、前記第1~第8の工程を実行することを特徴としてもよい。
加えて、本発明によれば、駆動装置の構成部品などに特別に精度のよい部品を使用せずともよく、低コストで精度のよい作業位置補正を実現することが可能となる。
[構成]
図1に実施形態に係る塗布位置補正機能を有する塗布装置を説明する概略斜視図を示す。
実施形態の塗布装置1は、駆動装置2と、撮像装置9と、直動装置10と、制御装置12と、ステージ15と、吐出装置16を主要な構成とする。以下では、図中の符号6の方向をX方向、符号7の方向をY方向、符号8の方向をZ方向と呼ぶ。
また、液体材料を吐出するための吐出装置16を、直動装置10の側面に撮像装置9と並設する。一の吐出口を有する本実施形態の吐出装置16は、直動装置10に着脱自在に取り付けられており、メンテナンスを行うために取り外したり、他の種類の吐出装置と交換することが可能である。吐出装置16としては、エア式、ジェット式、プランジャ式、スクリュー式など任意の方式の吐出装置を用いることができる。吐出装置16には、本体からノズル部のみを取り外すことができるものも含まれる。
図2に実施形態に係る塗布装置における塗布位置補正プロセスの説明図を示す。また、図3に実施形態に係る塗布装置における塗布位置補正プロセスで映し出す画像を示す。なお、図3中、画像18の中央にある十字に交わった線とそれを囲む正方形の線(符号19)は、撮像装置が映し出す画像の中心(別の言い方をすると撮像装置の中心)を表すマークである。
以下の説明では、基板14上に配置された塗布対象物13の角部(右上)に撮像装置9の撮像中心が位置するヘッド部の座標(Xa,Ya)を「補正用位置」とする。但し、補正用位置は、これに限らず、画像認識のしやすいコントラストのはっきりした特徴的な箇所であればよく、例えば、基板14上に付された識別マークとしてもよいし、補正用に仮打ちした塗布点を補正用位置としてもよい。
<第1の工程>直動装置10を停止状態としたまま、駆動装置2により、撮像装置9を含むヘッド部を前述の補正用位置(Xa,Ya)に移動する(図2(a)参照)。この移動後におけるヘッド部の位置を第1の撮像位置とする。実際には、第1の撮像位置の座標は、駆動装置2の位置ずれが含まれているため、(Xa’,Ya’)となる。第1の工程では、直動装置10は、次の工程で基板14上をY軸駆動装置4に向かって移動するX方向ストロークを確保した第1の位置とする。なお、ヘッド部の移動先の位置座標は、基準となる基板14を用いてティーチングを行うか、設計値を入力するなどして予め制御装置12に設定しておくとよい。
以上に説明した塗布位置補正プロセスは、計測された位置ずれ量を塗布時の補正値として使用するため、塗布作業前に実行されることが好ましい。複数の塗布対象物13について(連続して)実行する場合には、上記の塗布位置補正プロセスを繰り返し実行する。
<第1の工程>直動装置10を停止状態としたまま、駆動装置2により、撮像装置9を前述の補正用位置に移動する(図4(a)参照)。この移動後におけるヘッド部の位置(Xa’,Ya’)を第1の撮像位置とする。この際、直動装置10は、次の工程で基板14上をY軸駆動装置4に向かって移動するX方向ストロークを確保した第1の位置とする。
<第2の工程>第1の撮像位置(Xa’,Ya’)において撮像装置9により塗布対象物13の角部(右上)を撮像し、画像中心からのずれの値(X1,Y1)を画像処理により計測して制御装置12に記憶する。
<第4の工程>駆動装置2を停止状態としたまま、直動装置10により、撮像装置9を吐出装置16の現在位置までX方向(符号11、図4の右方向)に移動する(図4(c)参照)。この移動後におけるヘッド部の位置を第2の撮像位置(Xa’’,Ya’’)とする。直動装置10は、X方向ストロークが確保されていない第2の位置となる。
<第6,7の工程>撮像装置9と吐出装置16との間の距離(X0,Y0)における駆動装置2の絶対位置決め精度による位置ずれ量を算出する手順は、図2と同様であるので説明を省略する。
また、上述の塗布位置補正プロセスを実施すれば、駆動装置2の構成部品などに特別に精度のよい部品を使用せずとも、精度のよい計測および補正を行うことができる。そして、精度のよい部品を使用せずに済むので、コストを抑えることができるというメリットもある。
さらに、長期間の使用により駆動装置2の構成部品などが摩耗してき、精度が落ちていったとしても、上述の塗布位置補正プロセスを実施することで、精度のよい計測および補正を行うことができる。
実施例の塗布装置1は、実施形態の塗布装置を構成する駆動装置2、撮像装置9、直動装置10、制御装置12、ステージ15、吐出装置16に加え、吐出制御装置29、搬送装置22、架台17、カバー26、表示灯30、タッチパネル31等を備える。以下では、実施形態と同じ箇所の説明は省き、異なる箇所の説明を主に行う。
実施例と実施形態とを比較すると、実施例の駆動装置2を構成するY軸駆動装置4が2つのスライダーを有する2軸であるところが異なる。塗布対象物13や基板14が大きく、X方向(符号6)への移動距離が長い場合は、精度を向上させるために、実施例のようにY軸駆動装置4を2軸にすることが好ましい。或いはY軸駆動装置4を1軸としつ、Y軸駆動装置4のスライダーを支持するレールと平行なガイドレールを設け、2点で支持することで、精度を向上させてもよい。また、駆動装置2は、搬送装置22が塗布装置1全幅にわたって設置されるために、これを跨ぐよう嵩上げ台21の上に設ける。
支持部材23は、開口が設けられた板状部材であり、架台17上に直立するように設置されている。
搬送機構24は、図示しないローラをモータなどで回転することによりベルト(図示省略)を回転させ、ベルト上に載置された基板14を搬送する。すなわち、基板14は、搬送機構24により、符号25で示した矢印の方向(別の言い方をすると、搬入孔27から搬出孔28の方向)へ搬送される。搬送装置22の実現形態は上記したベルトに限定されず、代替手段として、例えばアームを有するロボットを用いて基板の受け渡しを行ってもよい。
また、カバー26左側面手前側には、制御装置12と接続し、塗布装置1を操作するためのタッチパネル31が設置されている。このタッチパネル31は、制御装置12の一部として、設定値などのデータを入力するための入力装置、撮像装置9で映した画像18を表示する表示装置としての役割を果たす。
