Component Mounting Control for Sequential Tape Feeder Identification
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing component mounting systems struggle to accurately distinguish between components supplied from sequential taped components and those from other types, leading to potential errors in mounting positions and inefficient supply processes.
Innovation Solution
A component mounting program that identifies whether components are supplied from sequential or usual taped components, using detection sensors to confirm component presence or absence at the supply position, and adjusts the mounting process accordingly to prevent errors and ensure accurate placement.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the system uses a single supply process for all taped components, then the process is simple, but mounting errors occur due to inability to distinguish between sequential and non-sequential taped components
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the taped component supply process into two distinct pathways: one for sequential taped components and another for non-sequential taped components. The controller identifies the component type and selects the appropriate supply process, preventing mounting errors while maintaining clear process differentiation.
2Reliability
If the system implements type identification for taped components, then mounting accuracy improves, but the control system becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The controller performs preliminary identification of the taped component type (sequential or non-sequential) before the mounting process begins. This advance classification allows the system to pre-select the appropriate supply process, ensuring accurate component supply without requiring complex real-time adjustments during mounting.
3Productivity
If the system continuously supplies components without detection, then the supply speed is high, but components may be supplied at wrong positions due to lack of presence confirmation
Solution Approach 1:
The patent incorporates detection sensors that provide feedback to the controller about component presence at the supply position. The controller uses this feedback information to confirm whether a component is actually present before initiating the mounting process, ensuring precise placement while maintaining efficient supply throughput.

AI summary
A component mounting program for mounting a component on a board, the component mounting program being configured to identify whether a component supplied from a tape feeder on the component mounting program is a component supplied from a sequential taped component or a component supplied from a taped component other than the sequential taped component.
