A board work machine includes a board holding portion configured to hold a board, a work head configured to hold a lead component having a lead wire and insert the lead wire into a through-hole formed in the board, a lead wire cutting device configured to cut the lead wire inserted into the board by relatively reciprocally moving a first blade portion and a second blade portion, a distortion sensor configured to detect distortion of at least one of the first blade portion or the second blade portion, and a control device configured to drive the lead wire cutting device to acquire a value from the distortion sensor when the lead wire is not inserted into the board.

A lead trimming module and system provides automated means for trimming leads of a mounted electrical component. A controller executes a programmable lead trimming algorithm and correspondingly controls a movement apparatus, such as an XYZ gantry robot, and mounted lead trimming module for selectively trimming lead protrusions to a programmed lead length.

A cut and clinch device includes a movable section slidable with respect to a main body section. A first insertion hole is formed in main body section, and a second insertion hole is formed in the movable section. A lead is cut by the movable section being slid with the lead inserted into the first insertion hole and the second insertion hole. A recognition mark is provided on the movable section and the main body section, and the types of the movable section and the main body section are recognized based on image data of the recognition marks. By this, it is possible to appropriately check the type of the portion that cuts a lead.

A cut and clinch unit is provided with pair of slide bodies, and each slide body is configured from movable section and fixed section that slidably holds the movable section. An insertion hole is formed in the movable section. A pair of leads of a leaded component are inserted into the insertion holes of a pair of slide bodies, and the pair of leads are bent into an N shape by each movable section being slid. The cut and clinch unit is movable in the XY directions by operation of a moving device. Also, the distance between the pair of slide bodies can be changed freely. Accordingly, it is possible to mount leads at any position on a board in a state bent into an N shape, and to mount leaded components with various different lead separation distances on a board in a state bent into an N shape.

A cut and clinch device is provided with a pair of slide bodies, unit main body that holds the pair of slide bodies so as to be capable of moving towards and away from each other, and pitch changing mechanism that changes an insertion hole spacing distance that is a distance between insertion holes formed in the pair of slide bodies. Also, the leaded component held by the component holding tool is imaged by the imaging device before the leads are inserted into the through-holes of the board, and based on the imaging data, the lead spacing distance that is the distance between the pair of leads of the leaded component is calculated. Then, the pair of slide bodies are moved towards or away from each other such that the calculated lead spacing distance and the insertion hole spacing distance are the same.

In a cut and clinch device, movable section 122 is slidable with respect to main body section 120. Also, a first insertion hole is formed in main body section 210, and a second insertion hole 136 is formed in curved section 133 of movable section 122 in a state overlapping the first insertion hole. A lead is cut by the movable section being slid with the lead inserted into the first insertion hole and the second insertion hole. In such a cut and clinch device, a pair of recognition marks 210 are provided on a bent section opposite each other centered around the second insertion hole. Thus, the recognition marks are imaged, and based on the image data, it is possible to appropriately recognize the opening position of the second insertion hole, to appropriately insert the lead into the second insertion hole, and to appropriately cut the lead.

A cut and clinch device that bends leads of a leaded component into at least one of an bent-in state, a bent-out state, or an N-bent state. The bent-in state is a state with a pair of leads bent inside by moving a pair of movable sections towards each other. The bent-out state is a state with a pair of leads bent outside by moving a pair of movable sections away from each other. The N-bent state is a state with a pair of leads bent into an N-shape by moving a pair of slide bodies towards each other, moving a pair of movable sections away from each other, and then rotating the pair of slide bodies around a center point. Thus, leads can be bent into various states, and a leaded component can be appropriately mounted on a board.

In a component mounter, a cut and clinch unit is arranged below a circuit board that is conveyed by a conveyance device, and the cut and clinch unit can be moved to a given position by a moving device. When imaging a fiducial mark of the circuit board using an imaging device, the cut and clinch unit is moved such that an identification assistance sticker arranged on the cut and clinch unit is positioned as the background to the fiducial mark. The color of the circuit board surrounding the fiducial is white and the color of the identification assistance sticker is black. Thus, the outline of the fiducial mark is clear and the fiducial mark can be appropriately recognized based on the image data.

Component mounting line includes multiple component mounting machines arranged along a conveyance direction of a board, feeder storage container that stores multiple feeders that are attachable and detachable to component mounting machine, and exchanging robot capable of exchanging feeder between feeder storage container and each of the component mounting machines, in which feeder storage container is installed in the same arrangement as the multiple component mounting machines, and exchanging robot moves along the conveyance direction of the board and exchanges feeder. Accordingly, regardless of which of the component mounting machines feeder is used in, replenishment and collection may be performed in feeder storage container, so that an operator can easily replenish and collect feeder.

In a cut and clinch device, movable section 122 is slidable with respect to main body section 120. The main body section is configured from main body first section 147, and main body second section 148 that is removably attached to the main body first section, and a first insertion hole is formed in the main body second section. The movable section is configured from movable first section 144, and movable second section 146 that is removably attached to the movable first section, and second insertion hole 136 is formed in the movable second section. A lead is cut by the movable section being slid with the lead inserted into the first insertion hole and the second insertion hole. In a device configured as such, recognition mark 230 is provided on the movable second section and the main body second section, and the types of the movable second section and the main body second section are recognized based on image data of the recognition marks. By this, it is possible to appropriately check the type of the portion that cuts a lead.
