APPARATUS FOR MANUFACTURING A SERIES OF TAPED ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS, METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING A SERIES OF TAPED ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS, APPARATUS FOR CONVEYING ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS, METHOD FOR CONVEYING ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS, AND A SERIES OF TAPED ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS

摘要

A controller identifies a stacking direction of internal electrodes in an electronic component, based on magnetic flux density detected by a magnetic flux density detector when the electronic component passes between a magnetic generator and the magnetic flux density detector. The controller instructs a sorter to sort out, based on the identified stacking direction of the internal electrodes, the electronic component in which the stacking direction of the internal electrodes is consistent with a predetermined direction. A conveying mechanism includes a conveying table with a plurality of concave portions, and conveys electronic component fixed in position in the concave portions.

主权项

1. An apparatus for manufacturing a taped electronic component series including a tape assembly including a carrier tape provided with a plurality of holding holes and a cover tape provided on the carrier tape to cover the plurality of holding holes, and electronic components placed in each of the holding holes, wherein each of the electronic components includes an electronic component body, and a plurality of internal electrodes stacked in one direction in the electronic component body, the apparatus comprising:
a conveying mechanism configured to convey the plurality of electronic components into the holding holes of the carrier tape; a magnetic generator and a magnetic flux density detector configured such that the electronic components conveyed by the conveying mechanism pass therebetween; a sorter configured to sort out the electronic components passing between the magnetic generator and the magnetic flux density detector; and a controller configured or programmed to identify a stacking direction of the internal electrodes in the electronic component based on a magnetic flux density detected by the magnetic flux density detector when the electronic component passes between the magnetic generator and the magnetic flux density detector, and to instruct the sorter to sort out, based on the identified stacking direction of the internal electrodes, the electronic component in which the stacking direction of the internal electrodes is consistent with a predetermined direction; and the conveying mechanism includes a conveying table with a plurality of concave portions, and is configured to convey the electronic component fixed in a predetermined position in the concave portions.
