Description

  The present invention relates to a component mounter that mounts a plurality of components on a substrate, and a component mounting head that performs a mounting operation. More specifically, the present invention relates to a component mounter that images a reference mark provided on a component mounting head.

  As equipment for producing a substrate on which a large number of components are mounted, there are a solder printer, a component mounting machine, a reflow machine, a board inspection machine, and the like. It has become common to configure a substrate production line by connecting these facilities. Among these, the component mounting machine includes a substrate transfer device, a component supply device, a component transfer device, and a control device. In the mounting operation by the component mounting machine, first, the board transport device carries the board and positions and holds it. Next, the component mounting head of the component transfer device collects the component from the component supply device, moves to a predetermined mounting position on the substrate, and mounts the component.

  An imaging device is generally used to accurately recognize the position and rotation posture of a component collected by the component mounting head and realize a highly accurate mounting operation. The imaging device acquires image data by imaging together a component collected by the component mounting head and a reference mark provided on the component mounting head. The control device performs image processing on the image data, obtains a relative positional relationship between the component and the reference mark, and reflects it in movement control of the component mounting head to the mounting position. An example of a technique for obtaining the relative positional relationship between a component and a reference mark using an imaging device is disclosed in Patent Document 1.

  The positional deviation detection method of the electric component of Patent Document 1 is a method of detecting the positional deviation of the electric component with respect to the suction nozzle, and includes the following four steps. That is, this positional deviation detection method includes a first imaging step of simultaneously imaging the suction nozzle and a dog disposed in the vicinity thereof, a first data processing step of acquiring a relative positional relationship between the suction nozzle and the dog, The position of the electrical component relative to the suction nozzle based on the second imaging step of simultaneously imaging the electrical component and the dog held by the suction nozzle, the relative positional relationship between the electrical component and the dog, and the relative positional relationship between the suction nozzle and the dog And a second data processing step for obtaining a deviation. According to this, it is said that the relative positional deviation between the suction nozzle and the imaging device based on various causes can be corrected, and the electrical component can be mounted on the circuit board with high positional accuracy.

Each feeder device 3 includes a main body portion 31, a supply reel 32 provided at the rear portion of the main body portion 31, and a component take-out portion 33 provided at an upper front portion of the main body portion 31. An elongated tape (not shown) in which a large number of parts are stored at a predetermined pitch is wound and held on the supply reel 32. The tape is fed out by a predetermined pitch by a tape feeding mechanism (not shown), and the components are released from the stored state and are sequentially supplied to the component take-out portion 33.

  FIG. 2 is a side view showing the structure of the component mounting head 5, and FIG. 3 is a bottom view showing the structure of the component mounting head 5. FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating the first to third reference marks 61 to 63 provided on the bottom surface 55 of the head body 51 of the component mounting head 5. As illustrated, the component mounting head 5 includes a head body 51, a revolver device 53, a plurality of suction nozzles 54, and the like.

  The head body 51 is formed in a generally vertical rectangular parallelepiped shape. The head body 51 is attached to the X-axis slider 44 by an attaching / detaching part 52 formed on one side surface. The revolver device 53 is provided in the head main body 51 and rotates around a rotation axis AX in the vertical direction (Z-axis direction). As shown in FIG. 3, the revolver device 53 has a maximum of 16 suction nozzles 54 that can be attached and detached on a concentric circumference centered on the rotation axis AX. The suction nozzle 54 is an example of a component mounting member, and sucks and collects components using negative pressure and mounts the components on the substrate K using positive pressure. A drive mechanism and an air pressure adjustment mechanism are provided inside the head body 51. The drive mechanism drives the rotation of the revolver device 53 and drives the raising and lowering and rotation of the specific suction nozzle 54 selected.

  The suction nozzle 54 sucks and attaches not only parts but also an accuracy measuring jig. The accuracy measurement jig is used in combination with the substrate simulation jig and is provided for measurement of the mounting accuracy at the mounting position. For example, the accuracy measurement jig is formed by forming a pattern for accuracy measurement on transparent glass. For example, the substrate simulation jig is formed by forming a reference line and a reference code at a constant pitch on a plate material having the same size as the substrate. When the suction nozzle 54 mounts the accuracy measurement jig on the substrate simulation jig, the relative positional relationship between the accuracy measurement pattern and the reference line or reference code is obtained. Thereby, the position error of the mounting position, in other words, the mounting accuracy is measured. Note that the measurement of mounting accuracy can also be performed using actual components and boards. Hereinafter, the component mounting head 5 collectively refers to a mounting object including components and jigs to be sucked and mounted.

  As shown in FIG. 4, two types of first to third reference marks 61 to 63 are provided on the bottom surface 55 of the head body 51. The six first to third reference marks 61 to 63 in total are arranged at a 60 ° pitch on a concentric circle having the rotation axis AX as the center. In addition, the two first to third reference marks 61 to 63 of the same type are arranged symmetrically about the rotation axis AX. In the present embodiment, the first to third reference marks 61 to 63 are provided on the bottom surface 55 of the head main body 51. Without being limited thereto, the first to third reference marks 61 to 63 may be arranged to rotate together with the revolver device 53.

  5 to 7 are diagrams illustrating the shapes of the first to third reference marks 61 to 63, respectively. 5 to 7, the reference marks 61 to 63 are shown upside down so that the bottom surfaces 611, 621, and 631 of the reference marks 61 to 63 face upward. The first reference mark 61 shown in the perspective view of FIG. 5 is formed in a cylindrical shape with a small thickness. The bottom surface 611 of the first fiducial mark 61 is subjected to a satin finish using a sand blasting device to form a large number of minute irregularities. The second reference mark 62 shown in the perspective view of FIG. 6 is formed in the same shape as the first reference mark 61. However, the bottom surface 621 of the second reference mark 62 is mirror-finished using a polishing apparatus or the like. The third reference mark 63 shown in the side view of FIG. 7 is formed by adding a bottom surface 631 swelled in a spherical shape to the same cylindrical shape as the first reference mark 61.

  The first to third reference marks 61 to 63 are not limited to a circular shape when viewed from below, and may be, for example, a square. Also, three or more reference marks of the same type can be provided. In this case, it is preferable that three or more reference marks of the same type are disposed rotationally symmetrically about the rotation axis AX.

  FIG. 8 is a side partial cross-sectional view showing the configuration of the imaging device 7. The imaging device 7 is provided upward on the upper surface of the machine base 91 between the substrate transfer device 2 and the feeder device 3. The imaging device 7 captures the mounting object collected by the component mounting head 5 and the first to third reference marks 61 to 63 provided on the component mounting head 5 together to acquire image data. The imaging device 7 can perform on-the-fly imaging that performs imaging without stopping while the component mounting head 5 moves from the feeder device 2 to the substrate K, or imaging at the time of stop when imaging is performed at the timing when the component mounting head 5 stops temporarily. Either can be done.

  As illustrated, the imaging device 7 includes a camera unit 71, a connecting unit 72, an upper collar unit 73, an illumination unit 74, and the like. The camera unit 71 that performs an imaging operation has a light incident axis AO in the vertical direction (Z-axis direction), and is mounted on the machine base 91 via a support base 711. The upper center of the camera unit 71 is a light incident unit 712 where light from above enters. Above the camera unit 71, a cylindrical connecting portion 72 having a rectangular cross section is disposed. Further, on the upper side of the connecting portion 72, a bowl-shaped upper collar portion 73 that is open upward and has no bottom is disposed.

  The illumination unit 74 is disposed from the inner surface of the connecting portion 72 to the inner surface of the upper collar portion 73. More specifically, an incident light source 741 composed of a large number of LEDs is provided on one side surface of the inner wall of the connecting portion 72. Further, a half mirror 742 is provided obliquely across the inside of the connecting portion 72. The half mirror 742 reflects the incident light in the horizontal direction emitted from the incident light source 741 vertically upward and transmits the light from above toward the light incident part 712 of the camera unit 71. Four stages of tilting light sources 744 made up of a large number of LEDs are arranged on the inner surface of the upper collar 73. Further, a side-illumination light source 746 made up of a large number of LEDs is arranged in a single stage near the upper edge of the bowl-shaped inner surface of the upper collar 73.

  The imaging device 7 uses the bottom surface 55 of the head main body 51 and the bottom surface of the revolver device 53 as imaging surfaces as imaging targets. Parts picked up by the suction nozzle 54 and the first to third reference marks 61 to 63 are also included in the imaging surface. The epi-illumination light source 741 irradiates the imaging surface almost straight from below vertically. The tilting light source 744 illuminates the imaging surface obliquely from below the periphery. The side light source 746 irradiates the imaging surface at an angle close to horizontal from the surroundings. By turning on and off the incident light source 741, the tilt light source 744, and the side light source 746, which are illumination light sources, independently, first to third illumination conditions described later are set.

  Returning to FIG. 1, the cleaning member 8 is disposed at a position adjacent to the imaging device 7 on the machine base 91. For the cleaning member 8, for example, a cleaning member such as a brush or a sponge is used. The cleaning member 8 has a size that allows the first to third reference marks 61 to 63 to be collectively cleaned. The first to third reference marks 61 to 63 may be sized to be individually cleaned. The component transfer device 4 can swing while moving the component mounting head 5 above the cleaning member 8 by the XY drive mechanism and bringing the bottom surface 55 of the head main body 51 into contact with the cleaning member 8. Accordingly, the bottom surface 55 of the head main body 51 is automatically cleaned together with the bottom surfaces 611, 621, and 631 of the first to third reference marks 61 to 63. That is, the function of the automatic cleaning device is realized by the cleaning member 8 and the XY drive mechanism.

  A control device (not shown) controls overall operations related to component mounting. The control device can be constituted by an electronic control device having a CPU and operating by software, for example, and may be constituted by linking a plurality of electronic control devices. The control device controls loading / unloading and positioning of the substrate K by the substrate transfer device 2. The control device cooperates with each control unit of the plurality of feeder devices 3 to sequentially supply the components to each component supply position 33. The control device controls the movement of the component mounting head 5 of the component transfer device 4, the rotation of the revolver device 53, and the air pressure of the suction nozzle 54. The control device moves the component mounting head 5 above the imaging device 7 and controls the imaging operation of the imaging device 7. The control device controls the function of the automatic cleaning device. Further, the control device includes four functional units, that is, a calibration unit, an accuracy adjustment unit, an initial value storage unit, and an abnormality determination unit, which will be described later.

  In the present embodiment, the first to third reference marks 61 to 63 are provided corresponding to a plurality of classification categories classified according to a plurality of illumination conditions and differences in properties of the mounting object. FIG. 9 is a list showing a correspondence relationship between the first to third reference marks 61 to 63 and a plurality of illumination conditions and a plurality of classification categories of the mounting target.

  As shown in FIG. 9, the first reference mark 61 corresponds to the first illumination condition in which the incident light source 741, the tilting light source 744, and the side light source 746 are all turned on. The first reference mark 61 corresponds to a mounting object having an electrode on the bottom surface. Examples of this type of mounting object include a chip component having a rectangular electrode and a lead component having a lead electrode. Since it is important to accurately determine the positions of these electrodes, the bottom surface 611 of the first reference mark 61 is subjected to a satin finish so as to be similar to the surface state of the electrodes. Then, in order to clearly capture both the electrode of the mounting object and the first reference mark 61, a suitable first illumination condition is set in association with each other.

  The second reference mark 62 corresponds to the second illumination condition in which only the incident light source 741 is turned on. In addition, the second reference mark 62 corresponds to an object to be mounted whose bottom surface is a mirror surface. Examples of this type of mounting object include wafer parts cut out from a wafer base material and the above-described accuracy measuring jig. Since it is important to accurately determine the range in which these bottom surfaces expand, the bottom surface 621 of the second reference mark 62 is mirror-finished so as to be similar to the surface state of the bottom surface of the mounting target. In order to clearly capture both the bottom surface of the mounting target and the second reference mark 62, a suitable second illumination condition is set in association with each other.

  Furthermore, the third reference mark 63 corresponds to the third illumination condition in which only the side light source 746 is turned on. The third reference mark 63 corresponds to a mounting object having a bump (spherical connection portion) on the bottom surface. Examples of this type of mounting object include BGA parts (Ball Grid Array parts) and CSP parts (Chip Size Package parts). Since it is important to accurately determine the positions of these bumps, the bottom surface 631 of the third reference mark 63 is formed in a spherical shape so as to be similar to the shape of the bumps. In order to clearly capture both the bumps of the mounting object and the third reference mark 63, a suitable third illumination condition is set in association with each other.

  Next, the operation of the component mounter 1 of the embodiment configured as described above will be described together with the four functional means of the control device. FIG. 10 is a diagram for explaining the operation of the component mounter of the embodiment, and shows a processing flow executed by the control device. The control device performs the calibration unit in step S1 before starting the mounting of the mounting object, and then performs the accuracy adjustment unit in step S2. Further, the control device performs the initial value storage unit in step S3 after step S1 and step S2 or in parallel with step S1 and step S2. These three function means are performed, for example, after the component mounting machine 1 is installed, after the component mounting head 5 is replaced, or after component replacement or maintenance is performed during periodic inspection.

  In the calibration means in step S1, the control device first moves the component mounting head 5 to a predetermined calibration position. For example, the calibration position is set directly above the imaging device 7. Thereby, the rotation axis AX of the revolver device 53 and the light incident axis AO of the imaging device 7 overlap. Subsequently, the control device captures the first to third reference marks 61 to 63 by the imaging device 7 and acquires calibration image data. Thirdly, the control device obtains first to third mark center positions M1 to M3 determined by two reference marks 61 to 63 of the same type based on the calibration image data.

  FIG. 11 is a diagram illustrating the calibration image data and the first to third mark center positions M1 to M3. In FIG. 11, the position error is exaggerated for easy understanding. The control device obtains the circular center positions of the two first reference marks 61 of the calibration image data, and determines the midpoint of the line segment connecting the two center positions as the first mark center position M1 (FIG. 11). + Sign). Similarly, the control device obtains the second mark center position M2 (+ mark in FIG. 11) from the two second reference marks 62, and the third mark center position M3 (FIG. 11) from the two third reference marks 63. + Sign). The control device stores the shift amounts of the first to third mark center positions M1 to M3 with respect to the rotation axis AX in the X-axis direction and the Y-axis direction, and reflects them in subsequent movement control of the component mounting head 5 to the mounting position. To do. As a result, even if the positions where the two first to third reference marks 61 to 63 are disposed have an error that deviates from the symmetrical position about the rotation axis AX, the influence of the error can be canceled.

  In the accuracy adjusting means in step S2, the control device first sets the second reference mark 62 corresponding to the accuracy measuring jig among the mounting objects as a master mark, and the illumination unit 74 of the imaging device 7 has. The second illumination condition corresponding to the accuracy measuring jig is set as the master illumination condition. Subsequently, the control device images together the accuracy measurement jig and the master mark (second reference mark 62) collected by the component mounting head 5 under the master illumination condition (second illumination condition) by the imaging device 7. Thus, the image data for accuracy adjustment is acquired. Thirdly, the control device obtains the relative positional relationship between the accuracy measurement jig and the master mark based on the accuracy adjustment image data, and reflects it in the movement control of the component mounting head 5 to the mounting position, for accuracy measurement. The jig is mounted at a predetermined mounting position on the substrate simulation jig. Fourthly, the control device acquires and stores the position error generated at the mounting position, and reflects it in the subsequent movement control of the component mounting head 5 to the mounting position. According to this, even if a position error occurs due to a difference in operating conditions, atmospheric conditions, etc. above the imaging device 7 and on the substrate K, high mounting accuracy can be maintained by adjustment.

  In the initial value storage means in step S3, the control device first images the first to third reference marks 61 to 63 by the imaging device 7 and acquires the initial value image data. Note that the control device may divert the calibration image data acquired in step S1 to the initial value image data. The control device then continues with at least the shape of the first to third reference marks 61 to 63 based on the initial value image data, or the distance between two first to third reference marks 61 to 63 of the same type. One is obtained and stored as an initial value. Naturally, the initial value of the shape of the first to third reference marks 61 to 63 is close to a perfect circle (complete circle).

  After completing Step S3, the control device advances the execution of the processing flow to Step S4. In step S4, the control device controls the substrate transport device 2 to carry in the substrate K, and starts a component mounting operation. In the next step S5, the control device controls the component transfer device 4 to cause the suction nozzle 54 of the component mounting head 5 to pick up and pick up the component. In step S6, the control device moves the component mounting head 5 above the imaging device 7, controls the imaging device 7, performs imaging, and acquires image data. At this time, the control device performs control so that imaging is performed using the illumination condition corresponding to the classification classification of the parts collected by suction. If there are a plurality of classification categories of parts picked up and collected by the 16 suction nozzles 54, the control device controls to perform imaging a plurality of times using a plurality of illumination conditions corresponding to the classification categories.

  Next, in the abnormality determination means of step S7, the control device firstly forms the first to third reference marks 61 to 63 based on the image data, or two first to third reference marks 61 to 61 of the same type. At least one of the inter-63 distances is obtained, and a change from the stored initial value is obtained. Subsequently, the control device determines that there is an abnormality when the amount of change exceeds a predetermined management value. The management value can be set in advance in consideration of the range in which the position error is appropriate.

  As the cause of the abnormality, the first to third reference marks 61 to 63 and the surrounding stains are assumed. For example, if the bottom surfaces 611, 621, 631 of the first to third reference marks 61-63 are soiled and the surface state changes, clear image data cannot be obtained. Alternatively, when a foreign substance adheres on or around the first to third reference marks 61 to 63, an image is taken as if the mark shape has changed. Due to these causes, the shapes of the first to third reference marks 61 to 63 are distorted from a perfect circle, or the circular center positions of the respective reference marks 61 to 63 are shifted to change the mutual distance. The control device can determine abnormality.

  In step S8, the control device determines whether or not an abnormality has occurred. The control device advances the execution of the processing flow to step S9 when no abnormality has occurred, and advances the execution of the processing flow to step S11 when an abnormality has occurred. In step S9, the control device accurately detects the relative positional relationship between the picked-up component and the corresponding reference mark based on the image data, and determines the position of the picked-up component on the component mounting head 5. Can be recognized accurately. Note that a reference mark that does not correspond to a part that has been picked up and picked up is not used in the relative positional relationship detection process even if it is captured together and included in the image data.

  FIG. 12 is a diagram illustrating an example of a method in which the control device recognizes the position of the component collected by suction on the component mounting head 5. FIG. 12 shows image data obtained by imaging the bottom surface 55 of the head main body 51 and the bottom surface of the revolver device 53. As shown in the figure, chip components P are sucked and collected by the 16 suction nozzles 54 of the revolver device 53, respectively. Therefore, the imaging operation is performed under the first illumination condition corresponding to the chip component P, and the image data is acquired. The positional relationship between the component mounting head 5 and the imaging device 7 at the moment when the imaging operation is performed is indefinite. Still, since the first illumination condition is set, both the chip component P and the two first reference marks 61 are clearly imaged. For this reason, the control device can accurately detect the reference position of the component mounting head 5 from the first mark center position M1 using the result of the calibration means. Further, the control device can accurately recognize the amount of change in the X-axis direction and the Y-axis direction of the specific chip part PA with respect to the rotation axis AX, and has recognized the position accurately. Further, the control device recognizes the rotation posture of the specific chip part PA. The position and rotational orientation recognition processing is performed for the total number of chip parts P that are picked up and picked up by the sixteen pick-up nozzles 54, respectively.

  In the next step S <b> 10, the control device moves the component mounting head 5 above the substrate K, and sequentially mounts the chip components P collected by suction on the substrate K. At this time, the control device controls the final mounting position by using not only the position and rotation posture of the recognized chip component P but also the result of the accuracy adjusting means. Thereafter, the control device returns the execution of the processing flow to step S5, and proceeds to the operation of mounting the next component.

  In step S11 that has proceeded when an abnormality has occurred, the control device causes the automatic cleaning device to function, and then returns the execution of the processing flow to step S6. In the second step S6 to step S8, the control device determines whether or not the abnormality occurs again. When the first to third fiducial marks 61 to 63 and the surroundings are cleaned by the automatic cleaning device and the abnormality is resolved, the control device advances the execution of the processing flow to step S9. If the abnormality is not resolved even after repeating step S11 a predetermined number of times, the control device notifies the abnormality alarm to prompt the operator to restore the function and waits for itself.

  Next, the operation of the component mounter 1 according to the embodiment will be described in comparison with the prior art. FIG. 13 is a diagram for explaining a conventional reference mark 69. In the prior art, four single-type reference marks 69 are provided on the bottom surface 59 of the head body 51 at a 90 ° pitch. Conventionally, the fiducial mark 69 is not clearly imaged due to illumination conditions, and even if four fiducial marks 69 are used, the mark center position M9 fluctuates and the accuracy of the reference position of the component mounting head 5 tends to be lowered. For this reason, imaging is performed using the reference mark 69 as a position reference only under illumination conditions that allow clear imaging. Also, on-the-fly imaging could not be performed under illumination conditions where the reference mark 69 was not clearly imaged.

  On the other hand, in the component mounting machine 1 of the embodiment, two different types of first to third reference marks 61 to 63 are used so that images are clearly captured under the first to third illumination conditions. For this reason, clear imaging is performed under any illumination condition, and any of the minimum two reference marks 61 to 63 can accurately and easily determine one of the first to third mark center positions M1 to M3. .

Therefore, at least one type of reference mark is clearly imaged, and the effect of realizing a highly accurate mounting operation is ensured.

  From another viewpoint, in the component mounter 1 of the embodiment, the first to third reference marks 61 to 63 are classified into three types classified according to the first to third illumination conditions and the difference in properties of the mounting object. Three types are provided corresponding to the classification categories. According to this, when the first to third illumination conditions and the three types of classification categories of the mounting object correspond one-to-one, the first to third illumination conditions correspond to the combinations of the illumination conditions and the classification categories, respectively. Third reference marks 61 to 63 are provided. Therefore, the effect of clearly capturing at least one type of reference mark is ensured.

  According to this, the three types of first to third reference marks 61 to 63 are formed so that their shapes and surface states correspond to a plurality of classification sections of the mounting target, respectively. Then, when an appropriate imaging condition is selected according to the mounting object collected by the component mounting head 5, at least one reference mark is clearly imaged together with the mounting object. Therefore, the control device can accurately detect the relative positional relationship between the mounting object and at least one kind of reference mark, and can accurately recognize the position of the collected mounting object on the component mounting head 5. Thereby, a highly accurate mounting operation is realized.

The second fiducial mark 62 corresponds to a mounting target object whose bottom surface is a mirror surface, and the bottom surface 621 is mirror-finished so as to be similar to the surface state of the bottom surface of the mounting target object. The third reference mark 63 corresponds to a mounting object having a bump on the bottom surface, and the bottom surface 631 is formed in a spherical shape so as to be similar to the shape of the bump. According to this, since the first to third reference marks 61 to 63 are formed similar to the mounting object corresponding to the shape and surface state of the bottom surfaces 611, 621, and 631, there is a remarkable similarity as a subject. It is equipped. Therefore, the first to third reference marks 61 to 63 are clearly imaged together with the corresponding mounting objects.

According to this, even if the arrangement positions of the two first to third reference marks 61 to 63 each have an error that deviates from the symmetrical position about the rotation axis AX, the influence of the error can be canceled. .

According to this, it is possible to suppress the influence of the fiducial marks 61 to 63 causing the abnormality and the surrounding contamination within a certain range, and to maintain the position accuracy within the certain range. In addition, when the influence of the contamination becomes large, it can be determined as abnormal, and the operator can be prompted to recover the function.

  Furthermore, in the component mounter 1 according to the embodiment, when the abnormality determination unit determines that an abnormality has occurred, the bottom surface 55 of the head body 51 of the component mounting head 5 is changed to the bottom surfaces 611, 621 of the first to third reference marks 61-63, An automatic cleaning device that automatically cleans with 631 is further provided.
