| 20080263858 | METHOD OF MOUNTING ELECTRONIC COMPONENT AND ELECTRONIC COMPONENT MOUNTING APPARATUS - The invention realizes setting of measurement positions suitable for a warping state of a printed board and an easy work of setting the measurement positions. A printed board as a measurement sample is positioned three-dimensionally in X, Y and vertical directions on a positioning portion, and then a backup base is lifted up to apply backup pins to the back surface of the board and support the board horizontally. Then, the warping state of the board is measured by a height level detection device, and based on the measurement result the CPU displays the board on a monitor three-dimensionally or by contour lines. Once an operator sets measurement positions on the screen, the CPU converts each of the set positions into coordinates on the board, writes the coordinates of the set positions in the top of mounting data, and stores the data in the RAM. Then, in a manufacturing operation with a board, the height level detection device measures the height levels of the board in the set measurement positions according to the mounting data where the coordinates of the set positions are added and stores the measurement values in the RAM. The measurement values are used when electronic components are mounted on the board. | 10-30-2008 |

| 20090031559 | ELECTRONIC COMPONENT MOUNTING APPARATUS AND METHOD OF MOUNTING ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS - The invention is directed to manufacturing a divided board without wasting an electronic component by judging whether or not a shortage of electronic components of a given type to be mounted on divided board portions will occur during the mounting before mounting electronic components on the divided board. A printed board having three board portions is carried onto an XY table from a supply conveyer and positioned by positioning means. Then, for each of component feeding units, a CPU judges whether or not the number of remaining electronic components is smaller than the number of necessary electronic components for manufacturing all the divided board portions. When the number is judged smaller, for example, when the number of remaining electronic components of Fdr. No. “102” is judged to be two that is less than three, the CPU calculates that the number of manufacturable divided board portions is two. The CPU then decides that the divided board portions on the left side and in the middle are to be manufactured, adds “S” to a skip code space of a step number | 02-05-2009 |
| 20090144968 | Pick-Up Tool And Method For Grasping And Mounting Small Dies - A pick-up tool for gripping a die comprises a sleeve and a gripping member.
