Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a carrier tape roll manufacturing apparatus for manufacturing carrier tape rolls that are wound in a roll shape, a component supply device for supplying components from the carrier tape roll, a component mounting system for supplying components from the carrier tape roll, and a carrier tape roll manufacturing method. Background Technology

[0002] Conventionally, in component mounting systems for manufacturing mounting substrates, the component mounting mechanism comprises a component supply device for supplying components and a mounting head for picking up components supplied by the component supply device and mounting them onto the substrate. As a component supply device, a conveyor belt feeder is known to supply components to a predetermined position by conveying a carrier belt, and an automatic loading feeder with a structure that automatically loads the carrier belt is also known (e.g., Patent Document 1 below). In an automatic loading feeder, if a replenishing carrier belt is pre-installed before the carrier belt becomes exhausted, the replenishing carrier belt is automatically loaded accordingly, corresponding to the discharge of the previously used carrier belt.

[0005] Patent Document 1: Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2018-37966 Summary of the Invention

[0006] The carrier tape used in the tape feeder is shipped from the manufacturer in a wound state on a reel, but a region (terminal remnant) without any components is provided on the end side of the carrier tape. This is mainly due to technical factors in the manufacturing process where the manufacturer winds the carrier tape into a roll on the reel. However, in an automatic filling feeder that automatically fills a replacement carrier tape after the previous carrier tape has been discharged, if the terminal remnant is long, the time required to discharge the previous carrier tape becomes longer, resulting in time being wasted until the replacement carrier tape is filled. Therefore, there is a current demand for a carrier tape roll (already wound into a roll) that implements a terminal processing to remove the terminal remnant for use in automatic filling feeders.

[0007] Therefore, the object of the present invention is to provide a carrier roll manufacturing apparatus capable of easily manufacturing carrier rolls that have undergone terminal processing, a component supply device for supplying components from the carrier roll, a component mounting system for supplying components from the carrier roll, and a carrier roll manufacturing method.

[0008] The carrier tape roll manufacturing apparatus of the present invention manufactures a carrier tape roll formed by winding a carrier tape in a roll shape, wherein the carrier tape roll manufacturing apparatus includes: a pull-out section that pulls the carrier tape out from a reel on which the carrier tape is wound to an end; and a rewind section that rewinds the carrier tape pulled out by the pull-out section from the end side.

[0009] The component supply device of the present invention supplies components to a component mounting machine that mounts components onto a substrate, wherein the component supply device supplies components from a carrier roll manufactured by the carrier roll manufacturing apparatus of the present invention described above.

[0010] The component mounting system of the present invention includes at least one component mounting machine, which has a component supply device for supplying components and a mounting head for mounting components supplied from the component supply device onto a substrate. The component supply device supplies components from a carrier roll manufactured by the carrier roll manufacturing apparatus of the present invention.

[0011] The carrier tape roll manufacturing method of the present invention uses the carrier tape roll manufacturing apparatus of the present invention described above to manufacture a carrier tape roll, wherein the carrier tape roll manufacturing method includes: a pull-out step, in which a carrier tape wound on a original reel is pulled out to a terminal; a terminal processing step, in which the terminal side of the carrier tape pulled out by the pull-out step is processed to remove the area without components, i.e., the terminal remainder; and a rewinding step, in which the carrier tape for which the terminal remainder has been processed by the terminal processing step is rewinded from a new terminal side.

[0012] According to the present invention, carrier rolls in which terminal processing has been implemented can be easily manufactured. Attached Figure Description

[0118] (Implementation Method 1)

[0119] Figure 1The component mounting system 1 according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention is shown. The component mounting system 1 is a system for manufacturing a mounting substrate KBJ by mounting a component BH onto a substrate KB, and includes a solder printer 1A, at least one component mounting machine 1B, and an inspection machine 1C. The solder printer 1A prints solder on the substrate KB and moves it to the downstream component mounting machine 1B. The component mounting machine 1B mounts the component BH on the substrate KB and moves it to the downstream inspection machine 1C (which is the component mounting machine 1B if it is located on the downstream side). The inspection machine 1C inspects the component BH mounted on the substrate KB and moves it to other downstream devices.

[0120] Figure 2 This is a side view of the main parts of the component mounting machine 1B, which is part mounting system 1. (Example) Figure 2 As shown, the component mounting machine 1B includes a base 11, a substrate transport unit 12, a feeder trolley 13, a belt feeder 14 serving as a component supply device, a mounting head 15, and a head moving mechanism 16. The substrate transport unit 12 transports the substrate KB using a pair of conveyor mechanisms 12a extending in the horizontal direction and positions it at a predetermined working position.

[0121] exist Figure 2 In this configuration, the feeder trolley 13 has a feeder base 13B on its upper part, and multiple reels RL are supported on its lower part. The feeder trolley 13 is connected to the base 11 by an operator OP traveling on the floor. Each reel RL is wound with a carrier tape CT. Multiple components BH are arranged in a row on the carrier tape CT (details described later).

[0122] exist Figure 2 In the middle, the belt feeder 14 is detachably mounted on the feeder base 13B of the feeder trolley 13. Multiple belt feeders 14 can be mounted on the feeder base 13B. A conveyor path 14L carrying the belt CT is provided inside the belt feeder 14, on the rear side ( Figure 2 The end of the operator (OP) is provided with an insertion port 14G.

[0123] The belt feeder 14 is an automatic loading feeder, and when the carrier belt CT is inserted from the belt insertion port 14G, multiple sprockets (not shown) located inside it are activated to automatically pull in the carrier belt CT and load it. Then, after the carrier belt CT is loaded, the sprockets are used to feed the carrier belt CT spacing and intermittently supply the component BH to the component supply position 14K.

[0124] exist Figure 2In this assembly, the mounting head 15 has multiple downwardly extending nozzles 15N. Each nozzle 15N is capable of lifting and lowering relative to the mounting head 15 and rotating about an upper and lower axis. The mounting head 15 can be vacuum-adsorbed at the lower end of each nozzle 15N. The head moving mechanism 16 moves the mounting head 15 in the horizontal direction.

[0125] When the component mounting machine 1B mounts component BH onto substrate KB, firstly, the substrate transport unit 12 is activated to move the substrate KB from the upstream side (solder printer 1A or component mounting machine 1B on the upstream side) and position the substrate KB in the working position. After positioning the substrate KB, the belt feeder 14 is activated to supply component BH to the component supply position 14K, and the mounting head 15 is reciprocated between the area above the belt feeder 14 and the area above the substrate KB using the head moving mechanism 16.

[0126] During this reciprocating movement, the mounting head 15 repeatedly performs the action of picking up the component BH supplied by the feeder 14 using the nozzle 15N and mounting the component BH onto the substrate KB at a predetermined position. Thus, after the component BH to be mounted is mounted onto the substrate KB, the substrate transport unit 12 moves the substrate KB downstream (to the downstream component mounting machine 1B or inspection machine 1C).

[0127] Figure 3 This is a perspective view showing a portion of the carrier tape CT used by the component mounting machine 1B, together with the tape feeder 14 and the reel RL. (See image below.) Figure 3 As shown, the carrier tape CT conveyed by the tape feeder 14 on the conveyor path 14L naturally disengages from the reel RL when it reaches its terminal CTS. However, in Embodiment 1 (and the same applies to Embodiments 2 to 4 described later), the area on the terminal CTS side of the carrier tape CT that does not include the component BH (referred to as the "terminal remainder SJ") is removed, and the tape feeder 14 becomes a structure that delivers the terminal remainder SJ of the carrier tape CT on the conveyor path 14L without any waste.

[0128] Next, the apparatus and method for manufacturing such a carrier CT roll (carrier roll CTR) with the terminal remainder SJ removed will be described.

[0129] Figure 4 as well as Figure 5 The present invention illustrates a carrier tape roll manufacturing apparatus 18 according to Embodiment 1. The carrier tape roll manufacturing apparatus 18 is an apparatus that manufactures a carrier tape roll CTR by pulling a carrier tape CT wound on a primary reel 20 to a terminal CTS, performing a termination process on the carrier tape CT, and then rewinding the carrier tape CT from the terminal CTS side. Here, "primary reel 20" refers to a commercially available reel, i.e., a reel shipped from a component manufacturer. Furthermore, "termination process" refers to the process of removing the remaining terminal portion SJ of the carrier tape CT.

[0130] Before explaining the structure of the carrier tape manufacturing apparatus 18, the original reel 20 will be explained first. Figure 6 This is a perspective view of the original reel 20 used in the carrier tape manufacturing apparatus 18. (See image below.) Figure 6 As shown, the original reel 20 has a pair of disc-shaped flanges (referred to as "reel flanges 21") and a cylindrical core portion 22 sandwiched between the two reel flanges 21. A slit 23 with a width slightly larger than the width of the carrier CT is provided in the core portion 22. The carrier CT is wound around the core portion 22 with the terminal CTS inserted (locked) into the slit 23.

[0131] exist Figure 6 In the core portion 22, a rotating shaft insertion hole 24 is provided, which passes through the central portion along the axial direction of the original reel 20 (the direction in which the two reel flanges 21 are facing each other, the front-to-back direction, and the X direction). A keyway (original reel keyway 24K) is formed in the rotating shaft insertion hole 24, protruding in a direction away from the central axis of the rotating shaft insertion hole 24.

[0132] exist Figure 6 In this configuration, the carrier tape CT is composed of a base tape BT and a cover tape TT. The base tape BT has component storage sections PK arranged in a row, each storing one component BH. The cover tape TT is attached to the base tape BT to cover the rows of component storage sections PK. The base tape BT has rows of feed holes KH arranged parallel to the rows of component storage sections PK.

[0133] Next, the carrier tape roll manufacturing apparatus 18 will be described. Figure 4 as well as Figure 5 In this device, the carrier tape roll manufacturing apparatus 18 has multiple working sections 32 within a housing 31 supported on a floor by multiple legs 31K. The working section 32 is the part that performs the operation of rewinding the pulled-out carrier tape CT from the terminal CTS side after the aforementioned operation, i.e., pulling the carrier tape CT from the original reel 20 to the terminal CTS.

[0134] exist Figure 4 as well as Figure 5 In this design, multiple operating units 33 are provided on the outside of the housing 31. The operating units 33 are provided in a corresponding manner to the working units 32, and the number of operating units 33 is the same as the number of working units 32. Here, there are two working units 32 and two operating units 33, but the number of working units 32 and operating units 33 is not limited to two each; there may be one or more.

[0135] exist Figure 4 In the middle, a control device 34 is provided inside the housing 31. Figure 7 This is a block diagram showing the control system of the carrier tape roll manufacturing apparatus 18. (See diagram for example.) Figure 7As shown, the control device 34 includes a first motor control unit 34a, a second motor control unit 34b, a position calculation unit 34c, and a decision unit 34d. The control device 34 is connected to multiple work units 32 and multiple operation units 33, respectively.

[0136] Explanation of Operations Department 32. Figure 8 This is a perspective view of the working section 32 of the carrier tape roll manufacturing apparatus 18. Figure 5 as well as Figure 8 In the middle, the working part 32 has a base part 41 that is erected. The upper part of the base part 41 has a pull-out part 42, and the lower part of the base part 41 has a rewinding part 43.

[0137] exist Figure 8 In the middle, storage container holding parts 44 are provided on both sides of the lower part of the base part 41 in the horizontal direction (left-right direction and Y direction). The anti-rolling part 43 is located between the left and right storage container holding parts 44. Figure 5 as well as Figure 8 In the middle part of the base part 41 in the vertical direction (Z direction) and on the left side facing the base part 41, there is a vertical guide 45 and a component counter 46.

[0138] The pull-out section 42 is the part of the operating section 32 that pulls the carrier tape CT from the original reel 20 to the terminal CTS. For example... Figure 5 as well as Figure 8 As shown, the pull-out portion 42 includes a first rotating shaft 51 protruding towards the surface of the base portion 41 and a first motor 52 disposed on the back side of the base portion 41 and rotating the first rotating shaft 51 (see also...). Figure 9 The first motor 52 is controlled by the first motor control unit 34a of the control device 34.

[0139] The anti-roll section 43 is the part of the operating section 32 that anti-rolls the carrier tape CT from the terminal CTS side after pulling out the pull-out section 42 to the terminal CTS. For example... Figure 5 as well as Figure 8 As shown, the anti-rolling section 43 includes a second rotating shaft 53 protruding from the surface of the base section 41 and a second motor 54 disposed on the back side of the base section 41 and rotating the second rotating shaft 53. The second motor 54 is controlled by the second motor control unit 34b of the control device 34.

[0140] exist Figure 8 In this configuration, a pull-out section core 61 is detachably mounted on the first rotating shaft 51 of the pull-out section 42. The pull-out section core 61, together with a pair of flanges 62 and a width adjustment member 63, constitutes a pull-out section core unit 64. Figure 8 , Figure 9 , Figure 10A as well as Figure 10B It should be noted that, Figure 10Aas well as Figure 10B These are the rear view and side view of the pull-out core unit 64.

[0141] exist Figure 8 , Figure 9 , Figure 10A as well as Figure 10B In the middle, the two flange portions 62 are each disc-shaped, and the two flange portions 62 are configured to sandwich the pull-out core 61 from the depth side and the front side. The width adjustment member 63 is integrally formed by a cylindrical component and is inserted through the pull-out core 61. The width adjustment member 63 is located on the front side of the front flange portion 62 of the two flange portions 62 and is integrally provided with the front flange portion 62.

[0142] exist Figure 9 , Figure 10A as well as Figure 10B In the pull-out core 61, a first rotating shaft insertion hole 65 is formed for the first rotating shaft 51 to be inserted. Figure 11 This is a side view of the pull-out section 42. When the pull-out section core 61 is installed on the first rotating shaft 51, the first rotating shaft 51 is inserted into the first rotating shaft insertion hole 65 provided in the pull-out section core 61. Figure 9 → Figure 11 ).

[0143] The front end 51S of the first rotating shaft 51, which is inserted through the first rotating shaft insertion hole 65, protrudes from the front end of the pull-out core 61. Figure 11 A limiting member 66 is screwed onto the front end 51S of the protruding first rotating shaft 51. The limiting member 66 serves to prevent the width adjusting member 63 from dislodging from the pull-out core 61.

[0144] exist Figure 9 , Figure 10A as well as Figure 10B In the middle, a keyway (pull-out keyway 67) is formed on the flange portion 62 on the depth side (base portion 41 side) of the pull-out core 61, which is connected to the first rotating shaft insertion hole 65. Figure 12 This is a perspective view of the first rotation axis 51 of the pull-out section 42. (See diagram below.) Figure 9 as well as Figure 12 As shown, a key portion (first rotating shaft key portion 51K) is provided at the root of the first rotating shaft 51 in such a way that it extends outward from the outer periphery of the first rotating shaft 51.

[0145] When the first rotating shaft 51 is inserted into the first rotating shaft insertion hole 65 of the pull-out core 61, the first rotating shaft key portion 51K is inserted into the pull-out keyway 67. As a result, the relative rotation of the pull-out core 61 with respect to the first rotating shaft 51 is restricted, and when the first rotating shaft 51 is rotated, the pull-out core 61 and the first rotating shaft 51 become one and rotate together.

[0146] exist Figure 9 , Figure 10B as well as Figure 11 In the pull-out section, the core 61 is provided with a slit-shaped carrier tape insertion port 61S extending axially. The beginning end CTT of the carrier tape CT to be pulled out from the original reel 20 is inserted into the carrier tape insertion port 61S. Figure 6 ).

[0147] exist Figure 9 , Figure 10B as well as Figure 11 In this configuration, a clamping operating lever 70 is provided at the axial end of the pull-out core 61. Inside the pull-out core 61, there is a clamping mechanism (not shown) comprising two components capable of opening and closing (clamping operation) by operating the clamping operating lever 70.

[0148] The operator (OP) can clamp the beginning end CTT of the carrier tape CT inserted from the carrier tape insertion port 61S by clamping the clamping mechanism operated by the clamping operating lever 70. While the beginning end CTT of the carrier tape CT is clamped by the clamping mechanism, when the first rotating shaft 51 is driven to rotate the pull-out core 61, the carrier tape CT is wound around the outer periphery of the pull-out core 61.

[0149] Figure 13A as well as Figure 13B This is an explanatory diagram showing the width adjustment of the pull-out core 61. Figure 11 , Figure 13A as well as Figure 13B In this design, a locking portion 68 is provided on the surface of the pull-out core 61. The locking portion 68 has a plurality of recesses 68H arranged along the axial direction. These plurality of recesses 68H are respectively provided at positions corresponding to the width direction dimensions of various carrier tapes CT that may be pulled out.

[0150] exist Figure 11 , Figure 13A as well as Figure 13B In this design, the width adjustment member 63 is equipped with a manually operated locking button 63L. The operator (OP) slides the width adjustment member 63 relative to the pull-out core 61 along the axial direction (X direction) of the pull-out core 61. At the desired position, the engaging piece (not shown) on the locking button 63L engages with one of the plurality of recesses 68H in the locked portion 68, thereby locking the width adjustment member 63 relative to the pull-out core 61. This allows the width of the pull-out core 61 (the distance WD between the two flange portions 62) to be adjusted. Figure 11 The dimensions of the carrier tape CT to be wound around the pull-out core 61 are adjusted accordingly. Figure 13A as well as Figure 13B ).

[0151] exist Figure 11 , Figure 13A as well as Figure 13B In this process, a display section 69 is provided on the surface of the pull-out core 61. The display section 69 displays multiple characters (e.g., numbers) NB that correspond to the multiple recesses 68H of the locked section 68 (i.e., correspond to the width direction dimension of the carrier tape CT). The operator uses the characters NB displayed on the window 63W of the width adjustment member 63 as a reference to determine the position of the width adjustment member 63 relative to the pull-out core 61, thereby enabling the width adjustment member 63 to be locked at an appropriate position in the width direction dimension (the distance WD between the two flanges 62).

[0152] Figure 14 This is a perspective view of the working section 32 of the carrier roll manufacturing apparatus 18. Figure 15 as well as Figure 16 These are partially exploded side views and side views of the anti-winding section 43 of the carrier tape manufacturing apparatus 18. Figure 14 In the middle, the original reel 20 is first assembled on the second rotating shaft 53 of the anti-roll section 43 (when the CT carrier is pulled out by the pull-out section 42). Figure 14 , Figure 15 as well as Figure 16 As shown, a key portion (second rotating shaft key portion 53K) is provided at the root of the second rotating shaft 53 in such a way that it extends outward from the outer peripheral surface of the second rotating shaft 53.

[0153] When the second rotating shaft 53 is inserted into the original reel 20, the key portion 53K of the second rotating shaft is embedded in the keyway 24K of the original reel. Figure 15 → Figure 16 Therefore, the relative rotation of the original reel 20 with respect to the second rotating shaft 53 is restricted. When the second rotating shaft 53 is rotated, the original reel 20 and the second rotating shaft 53 become one and rotate together.

[0154] After the operator assembles the original reel 20 onto the second rotating shaft 53 of the rewind section 43, they pull the beginning end CTT of the carrier tape CT upwards from the original reel 20. Then, they operate the clamping lever 70 and insert the beginning end CTT of the carrier tape CT into the carrier tape insertion port 61S of the pull-out core 61, causing the clamping mechanism to clamp it. Thus, the carrier tape CT wound on the original reel 20 is connected to the pull-out core 61. Figure 17 ). Figure 17 This is a 3D view of Work Department 32.

[0155] Here, as described above, by changing the distance WD between the two flange portions 62, the width of the pull-out core 61 can be adjusted accordingly to match the width of the carrier tape CT. Therefore, it is not necessary to replace the pull-out core 61 itself with respect to the width of the carrier tape CT to be pulled out.

[0156] After the carrier tape CT wound on the original reel 20 is connected to the pull-out core 61 as described above, the operator OP operates the pull-out switch 33a from the operation unit 33. Figure 7 When the pull-out switch 33a is operated, the first motor control unit 34a activates the first motor 52 to rotate the first rotating shaft 51, and the second motor control unit 34b activates the second motor 54 to rotate the second rotating shaft 53 in the same direction as the first rotating shaft 51.

[0157] Therefore, the pull-out core 61 rotates in the same direction as the original reel 20, and the carrier tape CT wound on the original reel 20 is wound toward the pull-out core 61. Figure 18A → Figure 18B → Figure 18C ). Figures 18A to 18C This diagram illustrates the case where the carrier CT is pulled out from the original reel 20 using the pull-out section 42. Then, the carrier CT is pulled out to the terminal CTS using the pull-out section 42 (pull-out step). In this way, the first motor 52 of the pull-out section 42 drives the pull-out section core 61 during the pull-out step to wind the carrier CT onto the pull-out section core 61 from the original reel 20.

[0158] The carrier tape CT, which moves between the anti-winding section 43 (original reel 20) and the pull-out section 42 (pull-out core 61), is configured to pass through a predetermined detection position. Here, the detection position is set between the two tape guides 45 arranged vertically on the base section 41 and the component counter 46.

[0159] The component counter 46 detects the components BH that pass through the detection position and counts their number. The position calculation unit 34c of the control device 34 calculates the respective positions (length from the detection position to the beginning CTT and the end CTS of the carrier CT) of the carrier CT based on the number of components BH counted by the component counter 46 and other information pre-stored in the control device 34.

[0160] Thus, in this embodiment, the component counter 46 and the position calculation unit 34c of the control device 34 become a tape end position detection unit TK that detects the position of the end (terminal CTS or beginning CTT) of the carrier CT moving between the pull-out part 42 and the anti-roll-out part 43. Figure 7 ).

[0161] The first motor control unit 34a controls the operation of the first motor 52 and the second motor based on the position of the end CTS of the carrier tape CT calculated by the tape end position detection unit TK. The determination unit 34d of the control device 34 determines whether the pull-out core 61 has reached the stop position where the winding of the carrier tape CT should be stopped, based on the position of the end CTS of the carrier tape CT detected by the tape end position detection unit TK.

[0162] Upon detecting that the carrier CT tape wound on the original reel 20 has been pulled out by the pull-out section 42 and that the pull-out section core 61 is nearing the stop position, the first motor control unit 34a decelerates the rotation of the first motor 52. Then, the carrier CT tape is further pulled out using the pull-out section 42. Figure 18C If the determination unit 34d determines that the pull-out core 61 has reached the stop position, the first motor control unit 34a stops the rotation of the first rotating shaft 51 (i.e., the rotation of the pull-out core 61). Figure 19 ). Figure 19 This is a 3D view of Work Department 32.

[0163] Thus, the carrier tape manufacturing apparatus 18 includes a determination unit 34d that determines whether the pull-out core 61 has reached the stop position for winding the carrier tape CT based on the position of the end CTS of the carrier tape CT detected by the tape end position detection unit TK. The first motor control unit 34a stops the operation of the first motor 52 when the determination unit 34d determines that the pull-out core 61 has reached the stop position. Furthermore, when the pull-out core 61 is detected to be approaching the stop position based on the position of the end CTS of the carrier tape CT detected by the tape end position detection unit TK, the first motor control unit 34a decelerates the rotation of the first motor 52.

[0164] It should be noted that, in this way, when the pull-out section 42 winds the carrier tape CT using the pull-out section core 61, the first motor control section 34a controls the rotation of the first motor 52 by speed control, and the second motor control section 34b controls the second motor 54 by torque control that generates torque in the opposite direction to the winding direction of the first motor 52 to maintain the tension of the carrier tape CT.

[0165] Figure 20A as well as Figure 20B This is an explanatory diagram of the end of the carrier CT and the remaining portion of the end after it has been pulled out by the pull-out section 42. After the pull-out section 42 pulls the carrier CT from the original reel 20 to the end CTS, the operator (OP) performs end processing on the carrier CT (end processing step). Here, "end processing" refers to the process of removing the remaining portion SJ (the area on the end CTS side of the carrier CT excluding component BH) of the end of the carrier CT as described above. The cutting process is performed by using a cutting mechanism (e.g., scissors) to cut the remaining portion of the end from the carrier CT. Figure 20A → Figure 20B ).

[0166] Figure 21 The figure shows the case where the terminal of the CT carrier belt, with the pull-out section 42 pulled out, is installed on the reel body 81. Figure 22 This is the main view of Operations Department 32. Figure 23 This diagram shows the state in which the end of the carrier CT tape pulled out by the pull-out section 42 is installed on the reel body 81. After the operator has finished processing the end of the carrier CT tape pulled out by the pull-out section 42, the operator removes the empty original reel 20 from the second rotating shaft 53 and assembles the winding body 80 onto the second rotating shaft 53. The winding body 80 is a component that is detachably installed on the second rotating shaft 53, which serves as a winding body holding part, for rewinding the carrier CT tape pulled out by the pull-out section 42 from the original reel 20.

[0167] As a winding body 80, for example, an empty reel RL that has run out of components when the carrier tape CT is supplied to the tape feeder 14, and an empty original reel 20 that has been pulled out by the pull-out part 42 (together referred to as reel body 81). Figure 21 The reel body 81 has a reel flange 21 and a core portion 22 as described in the original description of the reel 20, and the core portion 22 has a slit 23 and a swivel shaft insertion hole 24.

[0168] When the winding body 80 uses a reel body 81, the reel body 81 is mounted on the second rotating shaft 53. Figure 22 The procedure for assembling the reel body 81 onto the second rotating shaft 53 is the same as that for assembling the original reel 20 onto the second rotating shaft 53. It should be noted that if the empty reel of the original reel 20 is used while the reel body 81 remains unchanged, it is not necessary to remove the empty reel from the second rotating shaft 53; it can simply remain as is.

[0169] After the reel body 81 is assembled onto the second rotating shaft 53, the terminal CTS of the carrier tape CT, which will be pulled out by the pull-out part 42, is then connected to the core part 22 of the reel body 81 by the adhesive tape NT. Figure 21 as well as Figure 23 The adhesive force of the adhesive tape NT used here is a relatively weak adhesive force that prevents the terminal CTS of the carrier tape CT from sliding relative to the core portion 22 when the reel body 81 begins to wind the carrier tape CT, and that allows the terminal CTS of the carrier tape CT to be separated from the core portion 22 without resistance when the carrier tape CT is pulled out to the terminal CTS.

[0170] After the terminal CTS of the carrier CT is connected to the core section 22 of the reel body 81 by the adhesive tape NT as described above, the operator OP operates the rewind switch 33b from the operation unit 33. Figure 7When the anti-roll switch 33b is operated, the second motor control unit 34b causes the second motor 54 to operate, thereby rotating the second rotating shaft 53, and the first motor control unit 34a causes the first motor 52 to operate, thereby rotating the first rotating shaft 51 in the same direction as the second rotating shaft 53.

[0171] Therefore, the reel body 81 and the pull-out core 61 rotate in the same direction, and the carrier tape CT wound on the pull-out core 61 is wound towards the core portion 22 of the reel body 81. Figure 24A → Figure 24B → Figure 24C ). Figures 24A-24C This diagram illustrates the situation where the carrier CT is unwound from the pull-out section 42 using the unwinding section 43. In this way, the carrier CT is unwound toward the winding body 80, i.e., the reel body 81 (unwinding step). Thus, in the unwinding step, the second motor 54 of the unwinding section 43 unwinds the carrier CT wound on the pull-out section core 61 of the pull-out section 42.

[0172] When the carrier CT is unwinding towards the reel body 81, the tape end position detection unit TK detects the beginning end CTT of the carrier CT. When the tape end position detection unit TK detects that the reel body 81 is approaching the position where the unwinding action of the carrier CT should stop, i.e., the winding stop position, the second motor control unit 34b decelerates the rotation of the second motor 54. Then, when the reel body 81 is detected to have reached the winding stop position, the second motor 54 stops rotating.

[0173] It should be noted that, in this way, when the anti-winding section 43 winds the carrier CT using the winding body 80 (here, the reel body 81), the second motor control section 34b controls the rotation of the second motor 54 through speed control, and the first motor control section 34a controls the first motor 52 by generating torque in the opposite direction to the winding direction of the second motor 54 to maintain the tension of the carrier CT through torque control.

[0174] After the CT tape is unwound onto the reel body 81 and the rotation of the second rotation axis 53 and the first rotation axis 51 stops ( Figure 24C The beginning end CTT of the carrier tape CT, held by the pull-out core 61, is removed from the pull-out core 61. After removing the carrier tape CT from the pull-out core 61, the carrier tape roll CTR is manufactured in the reel body 81 on the second rotating shaft 53. After the carrier tape roll CTR is manufactured in this way, the operator removes the reel body 81 and the carrier tape roll CTR together from the second rotating shaft 53. Figure 25 ). Figure 25 This is a 3D view of Work Department 32.

[0175] The carrier tape roll manufacturing apparatus 18 includes: a pull-out section 42 that pulls the carrier tape CT from the original reel 20 wound with the carrier tape CT to the terminal CTS; and a rewind section 43 that rewinds the carrier tape CT pulled out by the pull-out section 42 from the terminal CTS side. Furthermore, the carrier tape roll CTR is manufactured using a method (carrier tape roll manufacturing method) that includes a pull-out step of pulling the carrier tape CT from the original reel 20 to the terminal CTS using the pull-out section 42, a terminal processing step of removing the terminal portion SJ (excluding components) from the terminal side of the carrier tape CT pulled out in the pull-out step, and a rewind step of rewinding the carrier tape CT (with the terminal portion SJ removed in the terminal processing step) from the new terminal CTS side using the rewind section 43. Therefore, it is possible to easily manufacture a carrier tape roll CTR that has undergone terminal processing.

[0176] (Implementation Method 2)

[0177] Next, implementation method 2 is shown. Figure 26 This is a perspective view of the working section 32 of the carrier roll manufacturing apparatus according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention. Figure 27A as well as Figure 27B This is a perspective view of the replaceable core 82 included in the carrier roll manufacturing apparatus of Embodiment 2 of the present invention. Figures 28A to 29B This is an operational diagram illustrating the replaceable core 82. The carrier roll manufacturing apparatus of Embodiment 2, in addition to using... Figure 26 Except for the replaceable core 82 shown, which serves as the winding body 80, the structure is the same as in Embodiment 1. Figure 27A , Figure 27B , Figure 28A as well as Figure 28B As shown, the replaceable core 82 has a base 91, left and right semi-cylindrical portions 92, a rod portion 93, and a clamping portion 94.

[0178] exist Figure 27A , Figure 27B , Figure 28A as well as Figure 28B In the replacement core 82, an insertion hole 95 is provided at the base 91 for inserting the second rotating shaft 53. A keyway 95M is formed in the insertion hole 95, protruding in a direction away from the central axis of the insertion hole 95.

[0179] exist Figure 27A , Figure 27B , Figure 28A as well as Figure 28B In the middle, left and right semi-cylindrical portions 92 are disposed on the left and right sides of the base 91. The left and right semi-cylindrical portions 92 are respectively connected to the base 91 by left and right swing shafts 96 extending along the Y direction. Therefore, the two semi-cylindrical portions 92 can swing freely about the swing shafts 96 and are located at a reference position on a common cylindrical surface on their outer circumferential surfaces. Figure 27A , Figure 27B as well as Figure 28A The deformation location (narrowing downwards) that is not located on the common cylindrical surface (within the common cylindrical surface). Figure 28B It can move (swing) freely between the two semi-cylindrical parts 92. In the deformed position, it becomes a shape that narrows downward as the lower parts of the two semi-cylindrical parts 92 move toward each other.

[0180] exist Figure 28A as well as Figure 28B In the middle, a force-applying spring 97 is provided between the lower part of each of the left and right semi-cylindrical portions 92 and the base 91. Under the action of these left and right force-applying springs 97, the left and right semi-cylindrical portions 92 are subjected to force in the direction in which their lower parts approach each other (i.e., the direction in which they become deformed).

[0181] exist Figure 27A , Figure 28A as well as Figure 28B In this configuration, the rod portion 93 is composed of a component extending in one direction. The rod portion 93 is centrally connected to the lower part of the base portion 91 via a shaft member 98 extending in the Y direction. The rod portion 93 is capable of rotating about the shaft member 98.

[0182] exist Figure 28A as well as Figure 28B In this configuration, an elliptical cam 99 is mounted on the rod 93, rotating integrally with the rod 93 around an axis member 98. The cam 99 can adjust its winding posture (extending horizontally) according to the rotational position of the rod 93 relative to the base 91. Figure 28A ) and the withdrawal posture extending along the vertical direction ( Figure 28B Move between ).

[0183] When the cam 99 is in the winding position, the two ends of the long side of the cam 99 enter each other towards the lower part of the left and right semi-cylindrical portions 92 and abut against each other from the inner surface side of their respective semi-cylindrical portions 92. Therefore, the left and right semi-cylindrical portions 92 overcome the force of the left and right force-applying springs 97 and expand towards each other at their lower parts, thus reaching a reference position. Figure 28A ).

[0184] On the other hand, when the cam 99 is in the extended position, the two ends of the long side of the cam 99 do not abut against the inner surfaces of the left and right semi-cylindrical portions 92. Therefore, under the action of the left and right force springs 92, the lower parts of the left and right semi-cylindrical portions 92 are pulled closer together and located in the deformed position. Figure 28B ).

[0185] exist Figure 28A as well as Figure 28BIn this device, the clamping part 94 includes a clamping base 94a with its lower end mounted on the base 91 and extending upward, a clamping piece 94b mounted on the upper end of the clamping base 94a, and a torsion spring 94c clamped between the clamping base 94a and the base 91. The torsion spring 94c is configured to apply force to the clamping base 94a in the direction that the clamping piece 94b abuts against the upper surface 92P of one of the left and right semi-cylindrical portions 92.

[0186] The clamping piece 94b, which is abutting the abutting surface 92P, overcomes the force of the torsion spring 94c and separates from the abutting surface 92P. After inserting the carrier CT between the clamping piece 94b and the abutting surface 92P, the clamping piece 94b is released, thus clamping the carrier CT between the clamping piece 94b and the abutting surface 92P. Figure 29A → Figure 29B Thus, the terminal CTS of the carrier CT that is pulled out from the original reel 20 by the pull-out section 42 can be connected to the replaceable core 82. It should be noted that the replaceable core 82 can hold various carrier CTs with different width dimensions, but various replaceable cores 82 with the most suitable axial length can also be prepared in advance according to the width dimension of the carrier CT.

[0187] Figure 30 This is a perspective view of the working section 32 provided in the carrier roll manufacturing apparatus according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention. When the winding body 80 uses a replaceable core 82, firstly, the replaceable core 82 is installed such that the second rotation shaft 53 of the anti-winding section 43 is inserted through the insertion hole 95 provided in the base 91. Figure 30 When the second rotating shaft 53 is inserted into the insertion hole 95, the key portion 53K of the second rotating shaft is embedded in the keyway 95M of the replaceable core 82. After the replaceable core 82 is assembled to the second rotating shaft 53, the carrier tape CT terminal CTS, which is in a pulled-out state by the pull-out portion 42, is then connected to the replaceable core 82 (i.e., the anti-roll portion 43) by clamping the carrier tape CT terminal CTS between the clamping portion 94 and the abutting surface 92P. Figure 30 ).

[0188] Figures 31A to 31CThis diagram illustrates the case where the anti-winding section 43 of the carrier roll manufacturing apparatus according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention anti-winds the carrier CT from the pull-out section 42. After connecting the terminal CTS of the carrier CT to the replaceable core 82, the operator OP operates the anti-winding switch 33b from the operation section 33. When the anti-winding switch 33b is operated, the second motor control section 34b operates the second motor 54, causing the second rotating shaft 53 to rotate. Additionally, the first motor control section 34a operates the first motor 52, causing the first rotating shaft 51 to rotate in the same direction as the second rotating shaft 53. As a result, the replaceable core 82 and the pull-out core 61 rotate in the same direction, and the carrier CT wound on the pull-out core 61 is pulled out towards the anti-winding section 43 and wound onto the replaceable core 82 (specifically, the outer peripheral surface of the two semi-cylindrical sections 92). Figure 31A → Figure 31B → Figure 31C (Reverse rolling step).

[0189] When the carrier tape CT is wound onto the replaceable core 82 (rewinding towards the anti-winding section 43), the position of the beginning end CTT of the carrier tape CT is detected by the tape end position detection unit TK, similar to Embodiment 1. Furthermore, when the determination unit 34d detects that the winding stop position of the replaceable core 82 is approaching, the second motor control unit 34b begins to decelerate the second motor 54. Then, when the determination unit 34d detects that the winding stop position of the replaceable core 82 has been reached, the second motor 54 is stopped.

[0190] It should be noted that during the process of stopping the second motor 54, the deceleration and stopping of the second motor 54 are based on the position of the beginning end CTT of the carrier tape CT detected by the tape end position detection unit TK, which is the same as in Embodiment 1. Furthermore, when unwinding the carrier tape CT into the winding body 80 (here, the replaceable core 82), the second motor control unit 34b controls the rotation of the second motor 54 through speed control, and the first motor control unit 34a controls the rotation of the first motor 52 through torque control, which is also the same as in Embodiment 1.

[0191] After the carrier tape CT direction replacement core 82 is reverse-wound, and the rotation of the second rotating shaft 53 and the first rotating shaft 51 stops ( Figure 31C The beginning end CTT of the carrier tape CT, held by the pull-out core 61, is removed from the pull-out core 61. After removing the carrier tape CT from the pull-out core 61, the carrier tape roll CTR is manufactured on the replaceable core 82. After the carrier tape roll CTR is manufactured in this way, the operator removes the replaceable core 82 from the second rotating shaft 53 for each carrier tape roll CTR. Figure 32 ). Figure 32 This is a perspective view of the working section 32 of the carrier roll manufacturing apparatus according to Embodiment 2.

[0192] After the operator removes the replaceable core 82 from the second rotating shaft 53 for each carrier tape roll CTR, the operator then pulls the replaceable core 82 out of the carrier tape roll CTR. In this case, the operator rotates the rod portion 93 of the replaceable core 82 about the shaft member 98, changing it from the winding posture to the extraction posture. Figure 28A → Figure 28B Therefore, the left and right semi-cylindrical portions 92 of the replaceable core 82 swing downwards towards each other, deforming in a downward narrowing manner. Figure 28B Therefore, the replaceable core 82 can be easily extracted from the carrier tape CTR. Figure 32 Thus, in the carrier tape roll manufacturing apparatus 18, the replaceable core 82 is modified to be able to be extracted from the center (circular hole portion) of the carrier tape roll CTR composed of the reverse-wound carrier tape CT.

[0193] In Embodiment 2, it is also possible to perform terminal processing by removing the remaining terminal portion SJ of the carrier tape CT that has been pulled out by the pull-out portion 42 and to perform reverse winding using the reverse winding portion 43, thus making it easy to manufacture a carrier tape roll CTR that has undergone terminal processing.

[0194] (Implementation Method 3)

[0195] Next, implementation method 3 is shown. Figure 33 This is a perspective view of the working section 32 of the carrier roll manufacturing apparatus according to Embodiment 3 of the present invention. Figure 34A as well as Figure 34B This is an explanatory diagram of the storage container 83 provided in the carrier roll manufacturing apparatus according to Embodiment 3 of the present invention. In Embodiment 3, the replaceable core 82 shown in Embodiment 2 is used as the winding body 80, and simultaneously... Figure 33 The storage container 83 shown.

[0196] like Figure 33 , Figure 34A as well as Figure 34B As shown, the storage container 83 includes two side panels 101 and an arc-shaped frame 102 located between the two side panels 101, and has an opening 103 at the top. An arc-shaped gate 104 that moves along the inner surface of the frame 102 is provided inside the storage container 83.

[0197] Gate 104 can be positioned in an open position that opens opening 103. Figure 34A ) and the closing position that closes opening 103 ( Figure 34B Either of these two positions. An operating lever 104L is provided on the gate 104, and the operator (OP) switches the position of the gate 104 by operating the operating lever 104L.

[0198] exist Figure 33 , Figure 34A as well as Figure 34B In the middle, the two side plates 101 are provided with core holes 105 for inserting the replaceable core 82. The inner diameter of the core hole 105 is a size larger than the outer diameter of the replaceable core 82 (the outer diameter of the replaceable core 82 when the two semi-cylindrical portions 92 are in the reference position).

[0199] In embodiment 3, firstly, the storage container 83 is installed on the base portion 41. When the storage container 83 is installed on the base portion 41, the storage container 83, with its opening 103 facing upwards, is held in the left and right storage container holding portions 44 located at the lower part of the base portion 41. At this time, the second rotation shaft 53 passes through the core holes 105 of each of the two side plates 101. With the storage container 83 installed on the base portion 41, the second rotation shaft 53 is located on the line connecting the centers of the two core holes 105 to each other.

[0200] After the operator installs the storage container 83 onto the base 41 as described above, the replacement core 82 is then installed onto the second rotating shaft 53. The second rotating shaft 53 is then inserted into the insertion hole 95 of the replacement core 82. Figure 27A as well as Figure 27B Then, the replaceable core 82 directly becomes a state in which the two cores set in the two side plates 101 of the storage container 83 are inserted through the holes 105 and assembled onto the second rotating shaft 53. Figure 35 ). Figure 35 This is a front view of the work unit 32 of the carrier roll manufacturing apparatus according to Embodiment 3 of the present invention.

[0201] Figures 36A-36C This diagram illustrates the case where the anti-rolling section 43 of the carrier roll manufacturing apparatus according to Embodiment 3 of the present invention anti-rolls the carrier CT from the pull-out section 42. After the replaceable core 82 is assembled onto the second rotating shaft 53, the terminal CTS of the carrier CT, which is in the state of being pulled out by the pull-out section 42, is connected to the replaceable core 82 using the same method as in Embodiment 2. Figure 35 Furthermore, the anti-winding switch 33b is operated from the operation unit 33. When the anti-winding switch 33b is operated, the first rotating shaft 51 rotates in the same direction as the second rotating shaft 53, and the carrier tape CT wound around the pull-out core 61 is wound onto the outer circumferential surfaces of the two semi-cylindrical portions 92 of the replaceable core 82. Figure 36A → Figure 36B → Figure 36C This is the same as in Implementation 2 (rewinding step).

[0202] Furthermore, when the carrier tape CT is reverse-wound towards the replaceable core 82, the position of the beginning end CTT of the carrier tape CT is detected by the tape end position detection unit TK. When the determination unit 34d detects that the winding stop position of the replaceable core 82 is approaching, the second motor control unit 34b starts to decelerate the second motor 54. Then, when the winding stop position of the replaceable core 82 is detected, the second motor 54 is stopped, which is the same as in Embodiment 2.

[0203] Furthermore, during the process of stopping the second motor 54, the second motor 54 is decelerated and stopped based on the position of the beginning end CTT of the carrier tape CT detected by the tape end position detection unit TK, which is the same as in Embodiments 1 and 2. Moreover, when unwinding the carrier tape CT into the winding body 80 (replaceable core 82), the second motor control unit 34b controls the rotation of the second motor 54 through speed control, and the first motor control unit 34a controls the rotation of the first motor 52 through torque control, which is also the same as in Embodiments 1 and 2.

[0204] After the carrier tape CT direction replacement core 82 is reverse-wound, and the rotation of the second rotating shaft 53 and the first rotating shaft 51 stops ( Figure 36C The beginning end CTT of the carrier tape CT held by the pull-out core 61 is removed from the pull-out core 61. After the carrier tape CT is removed from the pull-out core 61, the carrier tape roll CTR is manufactured on the replaceable core 82 in the storage container 83.

[0205] Figure 37A as well as Figure 37B This diagram illustrates the sequence of sealing the carrier tape roll CTR within the receiving container 83. After the carrier tape roll CTR is thus manufactured, the operator (OP) places the beginning end CTT of the carrier tape CT within the receiving container 83. Then, the operating lever 104L is operated to move the gate 104 from the open position to the closed position. Figure 37A → Figure 37B This seals the carrier tape roll CTR within the storage container 83.

[0206] Figure 38 This is a perspective view of the working section 32 of the carrier tape roll manufacturing apparatus according to Embodiment 3 of the present invention. After sealing the carrier tape roll CTR inside the storage container 83, the operator (OP) removes the replaceable core 82 from the second rotation axis 53 for each carrier tape roll CTR (i.e., each storage container 83), and then pulls the replaceable core 82 out of the carrier tape roll CTR. Figure 38 Thus, the carrier tape roll CTR is obtained and stored in the storage container 83.

[0207] In embodiment 3, it is also possible to perform terminal processing to remove the terminal remainder SJ of the carrier tape CT that is pulled out by the pull-out part 42 and to perform anti-winding using the anti-winding part 43, so that the carrier tape roll CTR that has undergone terminal processing can be easily manufactured.

[0208] As a variation of this embodiment 3, such as Figure 39A as well as Figure 39B As shown, it can also be configured such that the second rotating shaft 53 (and thus the replaceable core 82) is not located inside the storage container 83 mounted on the base portion 41, but is located above the storage container 83. Figure 39A as well as Figure 39B This is a perspective view of the working section 32 of the carrier tape roll manufacturing apparatus according to a modified embodiment 3 of the present invention. In this structure, the carrier tape roll CTR generated by winding the replaceable core 82 is stored in the storage container 83 under its own weight when the replaceable core 82 is pulled out from the second rotating shaft 53. Figure 39A → Figure 39B ).

[0209] In the structure described above, such as Figure 39A as well as Figure 39B As shown, the preferred configuration is one in which the working section 32 (i.e., the base section 41), including the pull-out section 42 and the anti-roll-out section 43, is inclined from the vertical plane, i.e., the elevation angle θ relative to the horizontal plane is a slightly smaller angle than 90 degrees (e.g., θ = approximately 60°). In this configuration, the carrier tape roll CTR slides on the surface of the base section 41 and is stored in the storage container 83. Therefore, when the carrier tape roll CTR contacts the storage container 83, the impact on the carrier tape CT from the storage container 83 side can be mitigated.

[0210] (Implementation Method 4)

[0211] Next, implementation method 4 is shown. Figure 40 This is a perspective view of the working section 32 of the carrier roll manufacturing apparatus according to Embodiment 4 of the present invention. Figure 41 This is an exploded view of the slitting reel 84 included in the carrier tape roll manufacturing apparatus of Embodiment 4 of the present invention. The carrier tape roll manufacturing apparatus of Embodiment 4, in addition to using... Figure 40 as well as Figure 41 Except for the winding body 80, the structure of the segmented reel 84 shown is the same as that in embodiments 1 to 3.

[0212] exist Figure 41 In the middle, the split reel 84 has two flanges 111 and a carrier tape core 112 disposed between the two flanges 111. The carrier tape core 112 is attached to one of the flanges 111.

[0213] exist Figure 41In this configuration, the two flanges 111 are joined together by a plurality of recesses 113 provided in the carrier core 112 of one flange 111 and a plurality of protrusions 114 provided in the other flange 111. Therefore, the split reel 84 can be easily divided into two parts (one flange 111 and the other flange 111). It should be noted that the split reel 84 is described here as a structure capable of being divided into two parts, but it could also be a structure capable of being divided into more than two parts.

[0214] Figure 42 This is a 3D view of the 84-section reel. Figure 42 In the carrier tape core 112, there is an insertion hole 115 through which a rotating shaft passes through the central part in the width direction (the direction in which the two flanges 111 face each other). A keyway (segment reel keyway 115K) is formed in the insertion hole 115, protruding outward in the radial direction of the rotating shaft insertion hole 24.

[0215] When the dividing reel 84 is used as the winding body 80, firstly, the second rotating shaft 53 is inserted into the insertion hole 115 of the dividing reel 84. Figure 40 At this time, the second rotating shaft key 53K is embedded in the keyway 115K of the dividing reel. As a result, the relative rotation of the pull-out core 61 with respect to the first rotating shaft 51 is restricted, and when the second rotating shaft 53 is rotated, the dividing reel 84 and the second rotating shaft 53 become one and rotate together.

[0216] Figure 43 This diagram shows the state in which the end of the carrier tape CT, which has been pulled out by the pull-out portion 42 of the carrier tape roll manufacturing apparatus of Embodiment 4 of the present invention, is connected to the carrier tape core 112 of the split roll 84. Figure 44 This is a front view of the working section 32 of the carrier roll manufacturing apparatus according to Embodiment 4 of the present invention. After the dividing reel 84 is assembled onto the second rotating shaft 53, the carrier roll core 112 of the dividing reel 84 is connected to the end CTS of the carrier roll CT, which is in the state of being pulled out by the pull-out section 42, using the same method as in Embodiment 1, with the adhesive tape NT. Figure 43 as well as Figure 44 After the carrier tape CT terminal CTS is connected to the carrier tape core 112 of the split reel 84 using adhesive tape NT, the operator OP operates the rewind switch 33b from the operation unit 33. As a result, the second rotating shaft 53 rotates in the same direction as the first rotating shaft 51, and the carrier tape CT wound on the pull-out core 61 is rewinded towards the split reel 84. Figure 45A → Figure 45B → Figure 45C (Reverse rolling step). Figures 45A to 45C This is a diagram showing the case where the unwinding section 43 of the carrier roll manufacturing apparatus according to Embodiment 4 of the present invention unwinds the carrier CT from the pull-out section 42.

[0217] It should be noted that at this time, the end position detection unit TK detects the position of the beginning end CTT of the carrier tape CT, thereby the second motor control unit 34b decelerates and stops the second motor 54, which is the same as in embodiments 1, 2, and 3. Furthermore, when the carrier tape CT is wound onto the winding body (here, the dividing reel 84), the second motor control unit 34b controls the rotation of the second motor 54 through speed control, and the first motor control unit 34a controls the rotation of the first motor 52 through torque control, which is the same as in embodiments 1, 2, and 3.

[0218] After the carrier tape CT is reverse-wound onto the segment reel 84 and the rotation of the second rotation axis 53 and the first rotation axis 51 stops, the beginning end CTT of the carrier tape CT, which is held by the pull-out core 61, is removed from the pull-out core 61. After the carrier tape CT is removed from the pull-out core 61, a carrier tape roll CTR is manufactured on the segment reel 84. After the carrier tape roll CTR is manufactured in this way, the operator removes the segment reel 84 from the second rotation axis 53 for each carrier tape roll CTR. Figure 46 ). Figure 46 This is a perspective view of the working section 32 of the carrier roll manufacturing apparatus according to Embodiment 4 of the present invention.

[0219] Thus, the carrier tape roll CTR is obtained and stored in the split reel 84. It should be noted that the operator can also pull the two flanges 111 apart to split the split reel 84 as needed, thereby using the carrier tape roll CTR as a single unit.

[0220] In embodiment 4, it is also possible to perform terminal processing to remove the terminal remainder SJ of the carrier tape CT that is pulled out by the pull-out part 42 and to perform anti-winding using the anti-winding part 43, so that the carrier tape roll CTR that has undergone terminal processing can be easily manufactured.

[0221] As explained above, the carrier roll manufacturing apparatus 18 of embodiments 1 to 4 includes a pull-out section 42 that pulls the carrier roll CT from the original reel 20 to the terminal CTS, and a rewinding section 43 that rewinds the carrier roll CT pulled out by the pull-out section 42 from the terminal CTS side. After the terminal remainder SJ (the area on the terminal CTS side excluding the component BH) of the carrier roll CT pulled out by the pull-out section 42 is removed, the carrier roll CT is rewinded from the new terminal CTS side. Therefore, according to the carrier roll manufacturing apparatus 18 of embodiments 1 to 4, carrier rolls CTR that have undergone terminal processing can be easily manufactured.

[0222] The embodiments of the present invention have now been described, but the present invention is not limited to the above description and various modifications are possible. For example, the pull-out section 42 can be a structure that pulls the carrier CT from the original reel 20 on which the carrier CT is wound to the terminal CTS, and is not limited to the structures shown in embodiments 1 to 4. In addition, the anti-rolling section 43 can be a structure that anti-rolls the carrier CT pulled out by the pull-out section 42 from the terminal CTS side to generate a carrier CT roll, i.e., a carrier roll CTR, and is not limited to the structures shown in embodiments 1 to 4.

[0223] In addition, in embodiments 1 to 4, the original reel 20 from which the pull-out part 42 pulls out the carrier CT is held by a second rotating shaft 53, which is part of the carrier reel manufacturing apparatus 18. The second rotating shaft 53, which is a winding body holding part, is also a holding part for the original reel 20. However, this structure can be replaced by an original reel holding part that holds the original reel 20, and the pull-out part 42 pulls out the carrier CT from the original reel 20 held by the original reel holding part.

[0224] Furthermore, in embodiments 1 to 4, the structure includes multiple working units 32, each including a pull-out section 42 and a rewind section 43. However, this is just one example; there can be one or more working units 32. When there are two or more working units 32, multiple carrier tape rolls (CTRs) can be manufactured simultaneously and in parallel. However, it is preferable to set the most suitable number considering factors such as the operator's work efficiency.
