BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method for creating an automatic mount machine control program using a dedicated teaching machine.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art First, referring to FIG. 4, a jumper inserting machine, an IC inserting machine, a radial inserting machine, an axial inserting machine,
A conventional example of a method for creating an automatic mounter control program for a variant insertion machine, a chip component mounting machine, etc. will be described. FIG. 4 conceptually shows a dedicated teaching machine used for creating such an automatic mounter control program.

A printed circuit board is mounted on an XY table, and this XY table has a built-in drive motor for the X and Y directions and moves in the X and Y directions according to a control signal from a microcomputer. The moving position of the XY table is detected by the position sensors in the X and Y directions and supplied to the microcomputer. X-
A cross line graduation is drawn on the optical system of the fixed camera that takes an image of the printed board on the Y table, and the image signal of the taken image is supplied to the monitor receiver, and a part of the printed board is displayed on the display surface of the CRT. Is enlarged and displayed along with the cross line scale. The XY table moves in the X and Y directions under the control of the microcomputer according to the operation of the XY table operation key of the keyboard, and at the same time, the storage device (semiconductor memory, floppy disk, etc.) or It moves in the X and Y directions according to the program and coordinate data stored on the paper tape. The storage device stores an automatic mounting machine control program, and the program is supplied to a paper tape reader punch and punched.
The program of the punched paper tape is read out, and the XY table is driven under the control of the microcomputer. Then, the perforated paper tape operates by being mounted on the automatic mounter. There is also a printer

Next, a method of creating an automatic mounter control program using this dedicated teaching machine will be described with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5. As shown in FIG. 5, the printed circuit board is provided with a hole (or is marked) at a mounting position where the mount component is mounted, and a hole is provided (or marked) near the mount component as a reference of the mount component, for example, N1, N.
2, ......... is attached. Then, this printed circuit board is attached to the XY table in FIG. 4, and while looking at the screen of the monitor receiver, the XY table is moved to search for mount component references N1, N2 ,. The XY table is moved so that its mounting position coincides with the intersection of the cross lines on the screen of the monitor receiver, and the coordinates of the moving position of the XY table at that time are stored under the control of the microcomputer. It is stored in the device and this is repeated thereafter.

[0005]

However, such a conventional method of creating a program for controlling an automatic mounter has the following problems when a large number of parts are mounted on one printed circuit board.
It takes time to find the reference for each mount part and enter the coordinates of the mount position. For example, one task per reference of the mount component
If it takes 500 minutes, it will take 8 hours and 20 minutes if there are 500 places.

In view of the above point, the present invention has an XY table to which a printed circuit board is attached, a driving unit for driving the XY table, a position detecting unit for detecting the position of the XY table, and an X-Y table. A method for creating an automatic mounting machine control program using a dedicated teaching machine having a fixed display means for enlarging and displaying a part of a printed circuit board on a Y table together with a reference point and a storage means for the automatic mounting machine control program. , That intends to propose a program capable of quickly creating a program for controlling the automatic mounter.
