An automatic insertion apparatus includes an actuator, a clamping device, and a light shielding device. The clamping device is connected to the actuator for clamping an electronic component, and the light shielding device is movably connected to the actuator to shield a part of the electronic component, and the light shielding device and the clamping device horizontally moves together with the actuator.

The present invention relates to an electronic module. In particular, to an electronic module which includes one or more components embedded in an installation base. The electronic module can be a module like a circuit board, which includes several components, which are connected to each other electrically, through conducting structures manufactured in the module. The components can be passive components, microcircuits, semiconductor components, or other similar components. Components that are typically connected to a circuit board form one group of components. Another important group of components are components that are typically packaged for connection to a circuit board. The electronic modules to which the invention relates can, of course, also include other types of components.

Provided is an image processing method for easily viewing images obtained by imaging multiple components at a time, the method including image capturing processing of capturing each component holding state relating to multiple suction nozzles mounted on a mounting head as one image, image dividing processing of dividing a region relating to a predetermined component holding state for image data of the multiple component holding states obtained by the image capturing processing, direction conversion processing of converting a direction of the component holding state for divided image data divided by the image dividing processing, and display processing of displaying an image based on the divided image data subjected to the direction conversion processing.

A method of aligning two wafers during a bonding process includes aligning a first wafer having a plurality of alignment markings with a second wafer having a plurality of alignment markings. The method further includes placing a plurality of flags between the first wafer and the second wafer. The method further includes detecting movement of the plurality of flags with respect to the first wafer and the second wafer using at least one sensor. The method further includes determining whether the wafers remain aligned within an alignment tolerance based on the detected movement of the plurality of flags relative to the first wafer and the second wafer.

A component mounting device includes a heater unit which heats along a range which is narrower than a movement range of a head and which is a partial length of a board, in which the head is controlled to mount components onto the board using a heating range of the heater as a mounting range, the board is conveyed to shift the mounting range every time mounting of components in the mounting range is completed such that an unmounted range in which components are not mounted on the board becomes the mounting range, and components are mounted in a new mounting range.

A component mounting device includes a mounting head that mounts a component at a mounting position on a substrate, an imaging unit capable of imaging the mounting position from a plurality of fields of view, imaging directions of which are different from each other, and a controller that selects a success or failure determination field of view used for success or failure determination of whether or not the component has been mounted at the mounting position from the plurality of fields of view according to a state of a shield around the mounting position.

A method for automatically mounting a connector housing with a contact part attached to an electrical line includes holding the contact part, determining an actual rotational position of the contact part, comparing the actual rotational position with a predetermined rotational position, and performing a rotational position correction thereby aligning the connector part to the connector housing. The connector housing is fixed to a holder and the contact part is inserted into a cavity of the connector housing by means of a movable gripper.

A substrate working system includes a component mounter that mounts a component on a substrate, and an inspection unit provided in the component mounter or a device downstream of the component mounter and that performs a substrate inspection different from a normal substrate inspection when an abnormality related to a mounting operation is detected in the component mounter.
