20180376634 | COMPONENT MOUNTER, NOZZLE IMAGING METHOD - A component mounter comprises first and second imaging systems, and a mounting head configured to hold a component by a nozzle. The first and second imaging systems irradiate light of first and second wavelengths, respectively, toward a working position to illuminate the nozzle located at the working position. The nozzle is imaged by the first and second imaging systems, respectively, that receive light having the first and second wavelengths, respectively, transmitted through first and second optical filters, respectively, after being irradiated on the working position. The first and second optical filters thus prevent light having wavelengths different from the first and second wavelengths from reaching the first and second imaging devices. Therefore, the nozzle can be imaged more precisely, since the influence of light different from the illumination light having the first and second wavelengths is suppressed by the first and second optical filters. | 2018-12-27 |

Mounting processing is performed while switching feeders that have finished supplying components with remaining feeders using exchange robot during mounting processing of a single board. By this, because it is possible to perform mounting processing while exchanging required feeders within the range of the upper limit loading quantity of component mounter, it is possible to improve the efficiency of mounting processing. | 2018-12-27 |
