A component mounting program for mounting a component on a board, the component mounting program being configured to identify whether a component supplied from a tape feeder on the component mounting program is a component supplied from a sequential taped component or a component supplied from a taped component other than the sequential taped component.

A tape guide includes a guide section configured to guide a carrier tape, a component exposing section configured to open a cover tape to expose an electronic component in a component storage section during conveyance of the carrier tape guided by the guide section, a tongue portion provided on the component exposing section and configured such that a distal end portion is movable between a first height position at which the distal end portion enters between a base tape and the cover tape and a second height position higher than the first height position, a pressing section placed above the tongue portion to apply a pressing force to the tongue portion to cause the tongue portion to move downward, and a stepped portion provided on a facing surface on which the tongue portion and the pressing section face each other.

The control device of a tape feeder, during the loading processing, in a case in which carrier tape that is preadjusted such that a length from a first cavity, which houses the electronic component and which is first from the leading end of the carrier tape among the multiple cavities, to the leading end of the carrier tape is a regulated length is inserted into the insertion section, starts conveyance of the carrier tape and makes a position of the first cavity a specified position in the feeder main body in accordance with a detection result of the detection sensor.

The present invention includes a tape peeling mechanism provided with a peeling member configured to enter a leading end surface in a feeding direction of fed component supply tape made from carrier tape and cover tape so as to peel the cover tape from the carrier tape, enabling a component to be supplied from at a component supply position, wherein the peeling member is displaced upwards after entering the leading end surface of the carrier tape as the component supply tape is fed. Accordingly, cover tape is reliably peeled without damaging components, and changeover work on the leading end of the component supply tape is not required.

A component mounting apparatus including a component supply device which includes a carrier tape that accommodates a component to be mounted on a board in which a plurality of feeders having carrier tapes loaded are respectively mounted at a plurality of mounting positions, which automatically discharges a carrier tape to a tape insertion port of the feeder based on a component discharge instruction, and which automatically conveys an inserted carrier tape to a suction position at which a component is suctioned when the carrier tape is inserted into the tape insertion port; and control device which instructs discharge or supply of a component.

A component supply apparatus includes a sending part configured to send tape housing a component therein in a sending direction so as to supply the component to a component supply position; a main body having an opposed surface extending in the sending direction, which faces a lower surface of the tape being sent by the sending part; a leaf spring member extending in the sending direction and having both end portions in contact with the opposed surface and a center portion curved upward so as to support the lower surface of the tape while urging the lower surface of the tape upward at the component supply position; and an urging member disposed between the leaf spring member and the opposed surface so as to urge the leaf spring member upward.

An electronic component array includes a base tape including paper and having approximately elongated and substantially planar shape, the base tape being provided with a plurality of accommodation recesses provided in a longitudinal direction of the base tape; a plurality of electronic components; and a cover tape. The electronic component array includes a first bonding portion in which openings of the respective accommodation recesses are covered by the cover tape in a state where the electronic components are included in the respective accommodation recesses, and a second bonding portion in which openings of the respective accommodation recesses are covered by the cover tape in a state where the electronic components are not included in the respective accommodation recesses. A peel strength of the second bonding portion is about 10% or more and about 70% or less of a peel strength of the first bonding portion.

An image processing device for processing an image of a tape having provided therein multiple cavities for receiving a component as a supply target includes a feature amount acquisition section configured to extract brightnesses of pixels within a predetermined range which can include a bottom surface of the cavity and a component inside the cavity using the image and acquire a value indicating scatter of the extracted brightnesses as a feature amount, and a determination section configured to determine on existence or non-existence of a component inside the cavity based on a determination threshold determined based on the feature amount for each of a case in which a component exists inside the cavity and a case in which no component exists inside the cavity and the feature amount acquired from the image.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a production system and a control method for the production system that can suppress erroneous mounting when a tape feeder is shared and used even when latest tape feeder information is not shared among multiple production lines in a production system having multiple production lines. Information that matches the tape feeder database stored by the line management device is stored in the tape feeder. When the tape feeder is mounted on the mounting machine, the information stored in the tape feeder is read, and when it is determined that the information does not match the tape feeder database, mounting of the electronic component supplied from the tape feeder is stopped.

A tape erroneous mounting detection system includes sensors provided to the plurality of tape feeders, a reader configured to read identification information from a recording part which is provided to a reel, and a memory part configured to store part verification information. The tape erroneous mounting detection system also includes a part verification part configured to determine whether or not the tape is mounted on the tape feeder at the set position, and to perform verification updating processing, and a tape erroneous mounting detection part configured to perform erroneous mounting detection processing where the tape erroneous mounting detection part identifies the tape feeder on which the tape is mounted based on the tape presence or absence information and the output from the sensor, and the tape erroneous mounting detection part detects that the tape mounted on the tape feeder is erroneously mounted.
