Abstract

PURPOSE:To assemble electric components in automatic mode by recording a bar code where electric component mounting specification data is stored into electric components. CONSTITUTION:An optical scanner 3 or the like is designed to read the contrast between black and white produced on bars of a bar code 8 mounted on the tip of an arm 4 of an assembling robot by conforming to a mounting specification for an electric component 9 recorded on the bar code pasted on the surface of the electric component 9 stored at a storage position of the electric component 9 in a kitting box 1. Then, the electric component 9 is selected one by one from the kitting box 1 where the electric components 9 are stored and laid out on a wiring base 5 having a wiring pattern side laid out on a work bench 6 at a plurality of specified locations. After they are laid out on the work bench, the electric components are soldered or fixed in a similar manner.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for attaching electronic components.

[Conventional technology]

As is well known, when assembling goods in high-product, low-weight production, the types of containers, size, and shape of the material of the goods are important. Weight, specifications, etc. are not fixed and vary widely.

Various methods can be considered for attaching the electronic components mentioned above, depending on the seating capacity and work style, but generally the work desk is covered. I carefully soldered while looking at the drawings. Therefore, the work of installing electronic parts is... Cut out the wiring board that has the wiring pattern surface and select the electronic parts that have been kitted one by one while checking the specifications and the drawings that specify the mounting specifications for the electronic parts. ．． The net is attached to a predetermined location on a wiring board having a wiring pattern surface using solder or the like. This series of operations must correspond to the assembly specifications of various electronic components that are successively introduced. In order to mechanize the process of selecting electronic components stored in a kit box one by one and placing them in multiple predetermined positions on a wiring board with a wiring pattern surface, we are trying to improve the data input method for assembling various electronic components as much as possible. It is important to design a simplified system to eliminate the complexity of incidental work.

Therefore, the use of machines to assemble electronic parts opens up previously restricted applications and contributes to technological development.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

- This invention has been made to remedy the above-mentioned problems; it is capable of automatically assembling electronic components, and also simplifies the input of data for assembling various electronic components.

[Means for solving problems]

The electronic component mounting method and device according to the present invention include a bar code in which the electronic component mounting specifications are recorded in correspondence with a manufacturing drawing, and a bar code that attaches the electronic component mounting specifications to the tip of the manipulator based on the bar code. The difference in brightness between the white and black bars (M4) of the barcode is read by an optical scanner, etc., and the electronic components are selected one by one from the ink box in which the first child components are stored. Place it at multiple predetermined locations on the wiring board. It is characterized by being able to accumulate solder etc.

[Effect]

In this invention, the mounting position of the electronic component can be automatically determined based on the bar code in which the mounting specifications of the electronic component are recorded in correspondence with the drawn drawing. It is also possible to automatically select electronic components one by one from the stored ink box and place them at a plurality of predetermined locations on a wiring board having a wiring pattern surface.
