ELECTRONIC APPARATUS ASSEMBLY MACHINE AND SIMILAR ASSEMBLY MACHINE

摘要

A mounting device, which receives electronic circuit components from component supply devices, and mounts the components onto a substrate which is carried into a work region by a substrate conveyance device. The mounting device includes (a) a plurality of articulated robots, which include an arm section that includes a plurality of link members, which are connected so as to be relatively rotatable with respect to one another at a plurality of joints, and a hand that is attached to a free end section of the arm section so as to be relatively rotatable, and (b) a robot guide rail that supports base end sections of the articulated robots in a manner in which the articulated robots are capable of moving in a direction that is parallel to a conveyance direction, and the hand holds a rotating head, which holds a plurality of suction nozzles.

主权项

1. An assembly machine comprising:
a main body frame; a substrate conveyance device that is supported by the main body frame, and conveys a substrate in a conveyance direction; a plurality of component supply devices that are supported by the main body frame lined up in a direction that is parallel to the conveyance direction, and respectively supply a single kind of component; a work device that performs work that includes at least mounting work, which receives the components from the component supply devices, and mounts the components onto the substrate that is carried into the work region by the substrate conveyance device; and a control device that controls at least the work device, wherein the assembly machine assembles a target device by mounting a plurality of components, which are supplied from the plurality of component supply devices, onto the substrate that is carried into a work region by the substrate conveyance device, and wherein the work device includes an articulated robot, which includes an arm section that includes a plurality of link members, which are connected so as to be relatively rotatable with respect to one another at a plurality of joints, and a hand that is attached to a free end section of the arm section so as to be relatively rotatable.
