Description
図1に、電子部品装着装置(以下、「装着装置」と略す場合がある)10を示す。装着装置10は、1つのシステムベース12と、そのシステムベース12の上に隣接された2台の電子部品装着機(以下、「装着機」と略す場合がある)14とを有している。なお、装着機14の並ぶ方向をX軸方向と称し、その方向に直角な水平の方向をY軸方向と称する。
装着機14では、上述した構成によって、搬送装置22に保持された回路基板に対して、装着ヘッド26によって装着作業を行うことが可能である。具体的には、装着機14の制御装置(図示省略)の指令により、回路基板が作業位置まで搬送され、その位置において、基板保持装置によって固定的に保持される。また、テープフィーダ86は、制御装置の指令により、テープ化部品を送り出し、電子部品を供給位置において供給する。そして、装着ヘッド26が、電子部品の供給位置の上方に移動し、吸着ノズル62によって電子部品を吸着保持する。続いて、装着ヘッド26は、回路基板の上方に移動し、保持している電子部品を回路基板上に装着する。
装着機14では、上述したように、テープフィーダ86によって供給された電子部品を、吸着ノズル62によって吸着保持し、その電子部品が回路基板上に装着される。このように構成された装着機14では、電子部品の大きさ,種類等に応じて、吸着ノズル62が変更される。つまり、例えば、大きな電子部品を吸着保持する際には、径の大きな吸着ノズル62が用いられ、小さな電子部品を吸着保持する際には、径の小さな吸着ノズル62が用いられる。このため、製造される回路基板の種類に応じて、種々の吸着ノズル62を用いる必要が有り、ノズルステーション30には、製造される回路基板の種類に応じて、種々の吸着ノズル62が収容されている。そして、装着ヘッド26の装着ユニット60に取り付けられている吸着ノズル62と、ノズルステーション30の収容されている吸着ノズル62との交換等が、必要に応じて行われる。なお、装着ユニット60に取り付けられている吸着ノズル62と、ノズルステーション30の収容されている吸着ノズル62との交換等は、公知の手法であることから、説明は省略する。
ノズル管理装置110は、図8に示すように、概して直方体形状をなしており、正面に、ノズルトレイ88をノズル管理装置110内に収納、若しくは、ノズル管理装置110からノズルトレイ88を取り出すための引出118が設けられている。その引出118の上方には、各種情報を表示するパネル120、情報等の入力を行うための操作スイッチ122等が配設されている。
パレット収容装置130は、図11に示すノズルパレット152を収容するものである。ノズルパレット152は、ノズルトレイ88と同様に、ベースプレート154とカバープレート156とを有しており、カバープレート156は、ベースプレート154の上にスライド可能に配設されている。ベースプレート154とカバープレート156とは、略同じ寸法とされており、カバープレート156がベースプレート154に対してスライドした状態において、ベースプレート154の端部に記された2Dコード157は露出する。一方、図12に示すように、ベースプレート154とカバープレート156とが全体的に重なっている状態では、2Dコード157は、カバープレート156によって覆われる。
トレイ収容装置132は、ノズルトレイ88を収容する装置であり、パレット収容装置130の前方に配設されている。トレイ収容装置132は、複数のトレイキャリア200とキャリア循環機構202とを有している。トレイキャリア200は、パレットキャリア180と同様に、チャンネル形状をなし、チャンネル形状の開口が下方を向いた状態で配設されている。また、トレイキャリア200は、内側の側面に形成されたレール204によって、ノズルトレイ88を保持する。なお、ノズルトレイ88は、トレイキャリア200の前方から挿入されることで、トレイキャリア200に保持され、ノズルトレイ88を前方に引き出すことで、トレイキャリア200から取り出される。
ノズル移載装置134は、ノズルトレイ88とノズルパレット152との間で吸着ノズル62を移載するための装置であり、図15に示すように、引出118内のテーブル205上に配設されている。ノズル移載装置134は、移載ヘッド206とヘッド移動装置207とを有している。移載ヘッド206の下端面には、下方を向いた状態のカメラ208と、吸着ノズル62を保持するための保持チャック(図9、図10参照)209とが取り付けられている。また、ヘッド移動装置207は、移載ヘッド206をテーブル205の上において前後方向、左右方向、上下方向に移動させるXYZ型の移動装置である。さらに、ヘッド移動装置207は、保持チャック209をそれの軸線周りに自転させるための自転機構(図示省略)を備えており、保持チャック209によって保持された吸着ノズル62を自転させることが可能である。
第1ノズル検査装置136は、吸着ノズル62の先端部、つまり、吸着管68の状態の検査(以下、「先端部検査」と略す場合がある)と、吸着ノズル62の先端部を後退させるために必要な力、つまり、吸着管68を胴体筒64の内部に向かって後退させるために必要な力の検査(以下、「後退力検査」と略す場合がある)とを実行する装置であり、ノズル移載装置134の下方に配設されている。
第2ノズル検査装置138は、吸着ノズル62内を流れるエアの流量の検査(以下、「エア流量検査」と略す場合がある)と、吸着ノズル62のフランジ部66に記された2Dコード74の読み取り検査(以下、「コード読取検査」と略す場合がある)とを実行する装置であり、第1ノズル検査装置136の下方に配設されている。
ノズル洗浄装置140は、吸着ノズル62の洗浄および乾燥を行う装置であり、第2ノズル検査装置138の下方に配設されている。ノズル洗浄装置140は、図20に示すように、ハウジング300を有しており、ハウジング300内で、吸着ノズル62の洗浄および乾燥が行われる。ノズル洗浄装置140の構造を説明するべく、ハウジング300を除いたノズル洗浄装置140を、図21に示す。
上記構成のノズル管理装置110では、ノズルトレイ88に搭載された吸着ノズル62のノズル管理装置110への収納作業、第1ノズル検査装置136による吸着ノズル62の検査作業、第2ノズル検査装置138による吸着ノズル62の検査作業、吸着ノズル62の洗浄・乾燥作業、検査作業および洗浄・乾燥作業の完了した吸着ノズル62のノズルトレイ88への搭載作業、不良ノズルの廃棄作業が行われる。以下に、各作業実行時におけるノズル管理装置110の作動態様について説明する。
吸着ノズル62のノズル管理装置110への収納作業時において、図15に示すように、作業者は、吸着ノズル62が搭載されたノズルトレイ88を、ノズル管理装置110の引出118内の固定ステージ210、若しくは、可動ステージ212にセットする。なお、可動ステージ212にノズルトレイ88がセットされる際には、作業者が、ノズルトレイ88を可動ステージ212にセットしてもよく、トレイキャリア200に収容されているノズルトレイ88を、ステージ移動機構214によって、可動ステージ212にセットしてもよい。また、ノズル管理装置110では、キャリア循環機構182の作動により、吸着ノズル62を搭載可能なノズルパレット152を収容するパレットキャリア180が、第1パレット移動機構218に対応する位置に移動する。
吸着ノズル62の検査作業において、第1ノズル検査装置136によって、先端部検査が行われる際には、キャリア循環機構182の作動により、所定のノズルパレット152を収容するパレットキャリア180が、図18に示すように、第2パレット移動機構266に対応する位置に移動する。その所定のノズルパレット152には、検査対象の吸着ノズル62が収容されている。
吸着ノズル62の検査作業において、第2ノズル検査装置138によって、エア流量検査が行われる際には、キャリア循環機構182の作動により、所定のノズルパレット152を収容するパレットキャリア180が、図19に示すように、第3パレット移動機構296に対応する位置に移動する。その所定のノズルパレット152には、検査対象の吸着ノズル62が収容されている。
吸着ノズル62の洗浄・乾燥作業時には、キャリア循環機構182の作動により、所定のノズルパレット152を収容するパレットキャリア180が、図20及び図21に示すように、第4パレット移動機構330に対応する位置に移動する。その所定のノズルパレット152には、洗浄対象の吸着ノズル62が収容されている。
ノズル管理装置110に収納されている吸着ノズル62のノズルトレイ88への搭載作業時には、図15に示すように、作業者が、吸着ノズル62を搭載可能なノズルトレイ88を、固定ステージ210または可動ステージ212にセットする。若しくは、吸着ノズル62を搭載可能なノズルトレイ88が、ステージ移動機構214の作動により、可動ステージ212にセットされる。また、ノズル管理装置110では、キャリア循環機構182の作動により、所定のノズルパレット152を収容するパレットキャリア180が、第1パレット移動機構218に対応する位置に移動する。その所定のノズルパレット152には、ノズルトレイ88への搭載予定の吸着ノズル62が収容されている。
不良ノズルの廃棄作業時には、図15に示すように、キャリア循環機構182の作動により、所定のノズルパレット152を収容するパレットキャリア180が、第1パレット移動機構218に対応する位置に移動する。その所定のノズルパレット152には、不良ノズルが収容されている。次に、そのパレットキャリア180に収容されているノズルパレット152が、第1パレット移動機構218の作動により、ノズル移載位置に移動する。そして、ノズルパレット152に搭載されている不良ノズルが、ノズル移載装置134によって、廃棄ボックス222内に投入される。なお、ノズルパレット152に搭載されている不良ノズルの廃棄ボックス222への廃棄作業は、ノズルトレイ88に搭載されている吸着ノズル62のノズルパレット152への移載作業と略同じである。ただし、不良ノズルは、できる限り破損しないように、廃棄ボックス222内に投入される。
