[0011] An embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. The configurations, shapes, etc. described below are examples for explanation and can be changed as appropriate depending on the specifications of the component mounting device and mounting head. In the following, the same reference numerals are used for corresponding elements in all drawings, and duplicated explanations will be omitted. In FIG. 1 and in some parts described later, the X-axis (left-right direction in FIG. 1) in the board transport direction and the Y-axis (up-down direction in FIG. 1) perpendicular to the board transport direction are shown as two axes perpendicular to each other in a horizontal plane. In FIG. 2 and in some parts described later, the Z-axis (up-down direction in FIG. 2) is shown as the height direction perpendicular to the horizontal plane.

[0012] First, the configuration of component mounting device 1 will be described with reference to Figs. 1 and 2. Fig. 2 shows a schematic view of a part of component mounting device 1 in Fig. 1. Component mounting device 1 has a function of performing a component mounting operation in which components supplied from a component supply unit are mounted on a board. A board transport mechanism 3 is disposed along the X-axis in the center of base 2. Board transport mechanism 3 transports board P transported from upstream to a mounting operation position, positions it, and holds it. In addition, board transport mechanism 3 transports board P downstream after the component mounting operation has been completed.

[0013] Component supply units 4 are disposed on both sides (front and rear directions of the Y axis) of the board transport mechanism 3. Multiple tape feeders 5 are attached to each component supply unit 4 along the X axis. The tape feeders 5 pitch-feed a component tape, on which pockets for storing components D are formed, in a direction (tape feed direction) from the outside of the component supply unit 4 toward the board transport mechanism 3, thereby supplying components D to a component supply position from which the components D are picked up by a mounting head, which will be described below.

[0014] 1 and 2, a Y-axis table 6 equipped with a linear drive mechanism is arranged along the Y-axis at both ends of the X-axis on the upper surface of the base 2. A beam 7 similarly equipped with a linear drive mechanism is connected to the Y-axis table 6 so as to be freely movable along the Y-axis. The beam 7 is arranged along the X-axis. A mounting head 8 is attached to the beam 7 via a plate 7a so as to be freely movable along the X-axis. The mounting head 8 is detachable from the plate 7a. The mounting head 8 is equipped with a plurality of component mounting units 9. A nozzle 10 for suctioning and holding a component D is attached to the lower end of each of the component mounting units 9. Each component mounting unit 9 is equipped with an elevation motor 9a for raising and lowering the nozzle 10 along the Z-axis.

[0015] 1, the Y-axis table 6 and the beam 7 constitute a head moving mechanism 11 that moves the mounting head 8 along the X-axis and the Y-axis. The head moving mechanism 11 and the mounting head 8 perform a mounting turn in which a component D is sucked up and removed from a tape feeder 5 arranged in the component supply unit 4 by a nozzle 10 attached to the component mounting unit 9, and the component D is mounted at a mounting position on the board P positioned by the board transport mechanism 3. In this manner, each of the component mounting units 9 has a component holder (nozzle 10) that holds the component D, and mounts the component D on the board P.

[0016] 1 and 2, a component recognition camera 12 is disposed between the component supply unit 4 and the board transport mechanism 3. When the mounting head 8 which has picked up a component D from the component supply unit 4 moves above the component recognition camera 12, the component recognition camera 12 captures an image of the component D held by the mounting head 8 to recognize the holding posture of the component D. A head camera 13 is attached to the plate 7a to which the mounting head 8 is attached. The head camera 13 moves integrally with the mounting head 8.

[0017] As the mounting head 8 moves, the head camera 13 moves above the board P positioned by the board transport mechanism 3, and captures an image of a board mark (not shown) provided on the board P to recognize the position of the board P. In the operation of mounting components on the board P by the mounting head 8, the mounting position is corrected taking into account the recognition result of the component D by the component recognition camera 12 and the recognition result of the board position by the head camera 13.

[0018] 2, a cart 14 with multiple tape feeders 5 already attached to the top of the component supply section 4 is set. The cart 14 holds a reel 16 that stores a wound component tape 15 holding components D. The component tape 15 is pulled out from the reel 16 and is pitch-fed by the tape feeders 5 to the component supply position.

[0019] 1 and 2, a plurality of (four in this example) reference posts 17 are provided on the upper surface of the base 2 around the mounting position of the board transport mechanism 3. The reference posts 17 are made of a hard material such as metal and have a flat upper surface. In FIG. 2, the height position of the upper surface of the reference posts 17 is located at a mounting reference height H0, which is the same as the height of the upper surface of the board P positioned at the mounting position of the board transport mechanism 3. The head camera 13 captures the upper surfaces of the plurality of reference posts 17 and recognizes the position of each reference post 17 in the horizontal plane, thereby measuring the thermal deformation of the Y-axis table 6 and the beam 7 caused by heat generated by the reciprocal movement of the beam 7 and the mounting head 8. The reference posts 17 are also used to measure (calibrate) the height of the component mounting portion 9 of the mounting head 8 mounted on the plate 7a, which will be described later.

[0020] Next, the configuration of the mounting head 8 will be described with reference to FIG. 3(a) and FIG. 3(b). The mounting head 8, which is detachable from the plate 7a, has multiple component mounting units 9(1)-9(16). In this example, the mounting head 8 has eight component mounting units 9 aligned along the X-axis, arranged in two rows along the Y-axis. That is, the mounting head 8 has eight component mounting units 9(1)-8(8) in the first row, and eight component mounting units 9(9)-8(16) in the second row. Each of the component mounting units 9(1)-9(16) has a lifting motor 9a. By driving the lifting motor 9a, each of the component mounting units 9(1)-9(16) lifts and lowers the nozzle 10 attached to its lower end (arrow a). The distance (height position) that the nozzle 10 has descended is detected by an encoder of the lifting motor 9a.

[0021] Next, with reference to Fig. 4, the configuration of the control system of the component mounting device 1 will be described, focusing on the function of calculating offset values ​​for the multiple component mounting units 9 of the mounting head 8. The component mounting device 1 includes a control device 20, a board transport mechanism 3, a tape feeder 5, a mounting head 8, a head moving mechanism 11, a component recognition camera 12, and a head camera 13. The mounting head 8 includes a head memory unit 8a and the multiple component mounting units 9.

[0022] The head memory unit 8a is a non-volatile memory device that stores offset values ​​that cancel out distortions caused by variations in the characteristics of the lift motors 9a of the multiple component mounting units 9 equipped in the mounting head 8, misalignments during manufacturing, etc. The offset values ​​stored in the head memory unit 8a are calculated and updated at the time of shipping inspection of the mounting head 8, at the time of calibration after mounting on the component mounting device 1, etc.

[0023] 4, the control device 20 includes a control storage unit 21, a mounting control unit 22, a data acquisition unit 23, an offset value calculation unit 24, and an update unit 25. The control storage unit 21 is a storage device, and stores mounting data 26, acquisition data 27, offset value data 28, etc. In the mounting data 26, various information such as the type of component D to be mounted on the board P and the coordinates of the mounting position on the board P is stored for each board type of mounting board.

[0024] When the mounting head 8 is mounted on the component mounting device 1 or when the component mounting device 1 is started, the mounting control unit 22 reads out the offset value (first offset value) stored in the head memory unit 8a of the mounting head 8 and stores it in the control memory unit 21 as offset value data 28. In this way, the head memory unit 8a and the control memory unit 21 are memory units that store at least offset values ​​that cancel out the distortions of the multiple component mounting units 9, respectively.

[0025] 4, based on placement data 26 and offset value data 28 (first offset value), placement control unit 22 performs a component placement operation by lifting and lowering nozzle 10 (component holder) mounted on component mounting unit 9 of placement head 8 to pick up component D supplied by tape feeder 5 (component supply unit) and mount it at a mounting position on board P. For example, when removing component D from tape feeder 5 using nozzle 10 mounted on component mounting unit 9(1) and mounting component D on board P, placement control unit 22 controls lifting and lowering motor 9a of component mounting unit 9(1) based on the offset value of component mounting unit 9(1) included in offset value data 28 to correct the amount of descent of nozzle 10.

[0026] The data acquiring unit 23 controls the head moving mechanism 11 and the lifting motors 9a of the component mounting units 9 included in the mounting head 8, respectively, to execute a height measurement process for acquiring data on the heights of the component mounting units 9 (mounting unit heights). The acquired data is stored in the control storage unit 21 as acquired data 27.

[0027] Here, the height measurement process by the data acquisition unit 23 will be described with reference to Fig. 5. In the height measurement process, first, the data acquisition unit 23 controls the head moving mechanism 11 to move the component mounting unit 9 to be measured above the reference post 17 (arrow b). Next, the data acquisition unit 23 controls the lift motor 9a of the component mounting unit 9 to be measured to lower the nozzle 10 mounted on the component mounting unit 9 to be measured until the lower end of the nozzle 10 abuts against the upper surface of the reference post 17 (arrow c). Next, the data acquisition unit 23 acquires the distance by which the nozzle 10 descends and stops, detected by the encoder of the lift motor 9a, as the mounting unit height (data).

[0028] The component mounting device 1 is set so that the height at which the lower ends of the nozzles 10 of the multiple component mounting sections 9 of the mounting head 8 mounted on the plate 7a wait is set to a waiting reference height H1, which is set upward along the Z axis by the reference height Z0 from the mounting reference height H0 set on the upper surface of the reference post 17.

[0029] In this way, the data acquisition unit 23, the head moving mechanism 11, the lifting motor 9a of the component mounting unit 9, and the reference post 17 constitute a data acquisition means 29 that acquires data (mounting unit height) related to the heights of the multiple component mounting units 9. The data acquisition means 29 (data acquisition unit 23) acquires the data (mounting unit height) by lowering the nozzle 10 (component holder) of the component mounting unit 9. The area for measuring the height against which the lower end of the nozzle 10 abuts is not limited to the upper surface of the reference post 17. In other words, the area for measuring the height may be any area that is located in a position where the lower end of the nozzle 10 can abut, is hard, and has little fluctuation in height (for example, the upper surface of the rail of the board transport mechanism 3).

[0030] Furthermore, the data acquiring means 29 is not limited to a configuration in which the lowered nozzle 10 is brought into contact with the reference post 17 and data is acquired by the encoder of the lifting motor 9a. For example, the data acquiring means 29 may be configured to acquire data on the height of the lowered nozzle 10 by capturing an image of the vicinity of the tip of the lowered nozzle 10 with a camera that captures the image from the side.

[0031] 4, the offset value calculation unit 24 calculates offset values ​​(second offset values) of the multiple component mounting units 9 based on data (mounting unit heights) acquired by the data acquisition means 29. The offset value calculation unit 24 stores the calculated offset values ​​in the control storage unit 21 as offset value data 28.

[0032] The data acquiring means 29 (data acquiring unit 23) acquires data (mounting unit height) for at least two of the multiple component mounting units 9(1)-9(16). Then, the offset value calculating unit 24 calculates the offset values ​​for each of the multiple component mounting units 9(1)-9(16) based on the acquired data for at least two of the component mounting units 9(1)-9(16). For example, when the mounting head 8 mounted in an operation to change the board type of the mounted board produced by the component mounting apparatus 1 is replaced, data is acquired for some of the component mounting units 9(1)-9(16), and the offset values ​​for all of the component mounting units 9(1)-9(16) are calculated.

[0033] Here, an example of calculation of the offset value by the offset value calculation unit 24 will be described with reference to Figs. 6 and 7. In this example, in Fig. 6, the data acquisition means 29 measures the mounting part heights Z1 and Z2 at two component mounting parts 9(1) and 9(8) among the multiple component mounting parts 9(1) to 9(16). That is, among the eight component mounting parts 9(1) to 9(8) in the first row of the mounting head 8, the mounting part heights Z1 and Z2 are measured at the two component mounting parts 9(1) and 9(8) at both ends. Note that the component mounting parts for measuring the mounting part heights Z1 and Z2 are not limited to the component mounting part 9(1) and the component mounting part 9(8), and may be any of the component mounting parts 9(1) to 9(16). For example, the data acquisition means 29 may measure the mounting part heights Z1 and Z2 at the two component mounting parts 9(9) and 9(16) at both ends of the second row.

[0034] FIG. 7 shows an example of offset value data 28 before and after the calculation of the offset value. The numbers indicate the positions of the component mounting units 9(1) to 9(16). The offset value before calculation is the offset value (first offset value) stored in the memory unit (head memory unit 8a, control memory unit 21). The offset value after calculation is the offset value (second offset value) calculated by the offset value calculation unit 24 based on the mounting unit heights Z1 and Z2. The offset value is set as the deviation amount from the standby reference height H1 at which the lower end of the nozzle 10 mounted on the component mounting units 9(1) to 9(16) waits. In other words, the offset value is a correction value from the reference height Z0 when the nozzle 10 on standby is lowered.

[0035] First, the offset value calculation unit 24 calculates a difference A (A=Z1-Z0) between the mounting part height Z1 of the component mounting part 9(1) and the reference height Z0, and a difference B (B=Z2-Z0) between the mounting part height Z2 of the component mounting part 9(8) and the reference height Z0. Next, the offset value calculation unit 24 calculates the offset values ​​of the component mounting parts 9(1) to 8(8) by complementing the difference A and the difference B. In other words, the offset value is calculated so that the offset value changes between adjacent component mounting parts by the complemented value "(BA) / 7".

[0036] Specifically, the offset value calculation unit 24 calculates the calculated offset value "a+A" by adding the difference A to the offset value "a" before calculation for the component mounting unit 9(1) in the first row. The offset value calculation unit 24 also calculates the calculated offset value "b+A+(BA) / 7" by adding the difference A and the complementary value "(BA) / 7" to the offset value "b" before calculation for the component mounting unit 9(2). The offset value calculation unit 24 also calculates the calculated offset value "c+A+2×(BA) / 7" by adding the difference A and twice the complementary value to the offset value "c" before calculation for the component mounting unit 9(3). Thereafter, the calculated offset values ​​(second offset values) of the component mounting units 9(4) to 9(8) in the first row are calculated in the same manner.

[0037] Further, the offset value calculation unit 24 calculates a post-calculation offset value "i+A" by adding the difference A to the pre-calculation offset value "i" for the component mounting unit 9(9) in the second row. Further, the offset value calculation unit 24 calculates a post-calculation offset value "j+A+(BA) / 7" by adding the difference A and the complementary value "(BA) / 7" to the pre-calculation offset value "j" for the component mounting unit 9(10). Thereafter, the post-calculation offset values ​​(second offset values) for the component mounting units 9(11)-8(16) in the second row are calculated in the same manner.

[0038] In this way, the mounting part heights Z1, Z2 are acquired only for some of the component mounting parts 9(1), 9(8), and the offset values ​​(second offset values) for all the component mounting parts 9(1) to 9(16) are calculated based on the acquired mounting part heights Z1, Z2. This makes it possible to shorten the time required to acquire the offset values ​​(calibration time).

[0039] 4, the update unit 25 updates the offset value (first offset value) stored in the storage unit (head storage unit 8a, control storage unit 21) to the offset value (second offset value) calculated by the offset value calculation unit 24. At that time, if the offset value (second offset value) calculated by the offset value calculation unit 24 is within a predetermined range (for example, between −0.1 and +0.1), the update unit 25 does not update the offset value (first offset value) stored in the storage unit.

[0040] Alternatively, if the difference (differences A and B) between the offset value (second offset value) calculated by offset value calculation unit 24 and the offset value (first offset value) stored in the storage unit is within a predetermined range (for example, between -0.05 and +0.05), update unit 25 does not update the offset value (first offset value) stored in the storage unit. For example, if the difference between the offset value (second offset value) calculated from the mounting section heights Z1 and Z2 of some component mounting sections 9(1) and 9(8) and the offset value before calculation (first offset value) is within the measurement error range, the component mounting work is performed using the existing offset value (first offset value).

[0041] 8, a calibration method (offset value calculation method) for calculating offset values ​​that cancel out distortions of the multiple component mounting units 9 that mount components D on the board P in the component mounting apparatus 1 will be described. First, the mounting control unit 22 reads out the offset value (first offset value) stored in the head memory unit 8a, and stores it in the control memory unit 21 as offset value data 28 (ST1: first offset value reading step).

[0042] Next, the data acquiring means 29 acquires data (mounting part heights) at some of the component mounting parts 9 among the multiple component mounting parts 9 (ST2: partial data acquiring step). In the example of Fig. 6 and Fig. 7, mounting part heights Z1 and Z2 are acquired at two component mounting parts 9(1) and 9(8).

[0043] 8, the offset value calculation unit 24 then calculates offset values ​​(second offset values) for each of the component mounting units 9 based on the acquired data (mounting unit heights) of some of the component mounting units 9 (ST3: offset value calculation step).Then, the update unit 25 determines whether the offset value calculated in the offset value calculation step (ST3) satisfies a predetermined update condition (ST4: update determination step).

[0044] For example, the update unit 25 determines that the update condition is satisfied when the calculated offset value (second offset value) is not within a predetermined range, or when the difference between the calculated offset value and the offset value (first offset value) stored in the storage unit (head storage unit 8a, control storage unit 21) is not within a predetermined range.

[0045] 8, if the offset value (second offset value) calculated in the offset value calculation step (ST3) satisfies the update condition (Yes in ST4), the update unit 25 updates the offset value (first offset value) stored in the storage unit (head storage unit 8a, control storage unit 21) to the offset value (second offset value) calculated in the offset value calculation step (ST3) (update step: ST5). If the offset value calculated in the offset value calculation step (ST3) does not satisfy the update condition (No in ST4), the calibration ends without executing the update step (ST5). That is, the offset value (first offset value) stored in the storage unit (head storage unit 8a, control storage unit 21) is not updated.

[0046] As described above, the calibration method of this embodiment includes a data acquisition step (ST2) of acquiring data (mounting part height) related to the heights of the component mounting parts 9, and an offset value calculation step (ST3) of calculating offset values ​​(second offset values) for the component mounting parts 9 based on the acquired data. Then, data (mounting part height) is acquired for at least two component mounting parts 9 (ST2), and offset values ​​(second offset values) for all component mounting parts 9 are calculated (ST3). This makes it possible to properly calculate offset values ​​that cancel out distortions of the mounting head 8 having the component mounting parts 9 (nozzles 10).

[0047] Although the above description has been given of an example in which the calibration system for calculating the offset value of the mounting head 8 having multiple component mounting units 9 is configured only with the component mounting device 1, the calibration system is not limited to this example. For example, the calibration system may be configured in such a way that the component mounting device 1 is combined with a management computer that manages a component mounting line configured to include the component mounting device 1, and the management computer is equipped with the offset value calculation unit 24. [Industrial Applicability]
