A work machine including a work head including a holding tool to pick up and hold a component, a rotating device to rotate the holding tool about an axis of the holding tool, a pivoting device to pivot the holding tool between a first attitude in which a distal end portion of the holding tool faces downward and a second attitude in which the distal end portion of the holding tool faces sideways; a moving device to move the work head; and a control device to control operation of the work head and the moving device, the control device including an operation control section to cause the holding tool to pivot from the first attitude to the second attitude, and to cause the holding tool to rotate from a holding angle that is a rotation angle when the component was picked up to a target angle.

A display device, and a method and apparatus for manufacturing the display device, are provided. The display device includes a cover window including a curved portion, and a display panel smaller in at least one of length or width than the cover window and laminated on a flat portion of the cover window.

The present disclosure relates to a feeder arm for a surface mount technology (SMT) machine. In an embodiment, the feeder arm includes a support body that is fastened to an SMT machine. The feeder arm includes a reel loading body that supports a reel of electrical components to allow the reel to be prepared for installation on the SMT machine. The feeder arm includes preparation circuitry configured to electrically connect the reel to allow the reel to be prepared. The feeder arm includes an articulating joint between the reel loading body and the support body. The articulating joint may articulate the second body between a first position and a second position.

An angle sensor of a tape feeder includes a magnetic body that rotates in conjunction with the rotation of a sprocket, a magnetic sensor that outputs a detection signal corresponding to the angle of the magnetic body with respect to the feeder main body, and an angle calculating section that performs offset processing for adjusting an origin of the detection signal using a preset offset value, gain processing that adjusts the magnitude of the detection signal using a preset gain value, and that calculates the angle of the magnetic body based on the adjusted detection signal. The control device performs correction processing for correcting at least one of the offset value or the gain value based on the detected signals outputted from the magnetic sensor.

A receiving device for components. The receiving device is designed to be adjusted in a controlled manner relative to a deposit point at least partly along a first, second, and/or third axis by at least one linear drive and/or move a support guided by the receiving device along one of the first and/or second axes by a drive. The receiving device has a position sensor which is paired with a component deposit point in order to detect a component which has only been partly deposited in a pocket of the support at the component deposit point, where the position sensor is connected to the receiving device laterally of the support such that the position sensor is moved directly together with the receiving device.

A component supply device including a component storage device that stores a plurality of components, a component support member on which the components from the component storage device are dispersed, and a component return device that returns the components on the component support member to the component storage device, is provided. In a case where the necessary number of components exceeds the number of holdable components, return work of the components to the component container and dispersal work of the components to the component support section are carried out prior to holding the components from the component support section by the component holding tool.
