SUBSTRATE CONVEYANCE MECHANISM AND COMPONENT MOUNTING DEVICE

摘要

A substrate conveyance mechanism includes conveyance units and a clamp mechanism. The conveyance units include a working unit corresponding to a working area for types of substrates having different sizes of length taken as objects, an area length of the working area being variable in accordance with the sizes of length, and a stand-by unit corresponding to a stand-by area for the substrate to be carried-in to the working area. The clamp members include commonly used first clamp members and second clamp members which are attachable and detachable and are selectively used in accordance with the sizes of length of the plurality of types of substrates in addition to the first clamp members.

1. A substrate conveyance mechanism comprising
a plurality of conveyance units which convey a substrate and are arranged in series, wherein the conveyance units at least comprise: a working unit which corresponds to a working area where a component mounting operation is performed with a plurality of types of substrates having different sizes of length taken as objects, an area length of the working area being variable in accordance with the sizes of length and a stand-by unit corresponding to a stand-by area where the substrate to be carried-in to the working area is allowed to wait, the working unit includes a clamp mechanism in which clamp members are allowed to abut on clamp parts set in both side end parts parallel to a substrate conveying direction in a lower surface of the substrate carried-in to the working area along the substrate conveying direction from below to clamp and fix the substrate, and the clamp members include
first clamp members commonly used when either of the plurality of types of substrates is taken as the object, andsecond clamp members which is attachable and detachable and is selectively used in accordance with the sizes of length of the plurality of types of substrates in addition to the first clamp members.
