Abstract

PURPOSE:To reduce the number of times of stopping the machine for supply of components and to increase an operation rate by installing, on a movable member which can move in a moving direction of a component supply section, a first component shortage detection sensor which is located near a component supply position and a second component shortage detection sensor which is located at an appropriate distance from the first sensor. CONSTITUTION:At a place near a component supply position and at a place which is at an appropriate distance from that place, a first component shortage detection sensor 6 and a second component shortage detection sensor 7 are installed respectively. The first and the second component shortage detection sensors 6 and 7 are installed on a movable member 8 which can move in a moving direction of a component supply section 1. The movable member 8 is so structured that it may be driven by a servo motor 10 and a moving mechanism 9 such as a feed screw mechanism. The first and the second component shortage detection sensors 6 and 7 detect light reflected on a tape 3 connected to a radial-type electronic component 2. The detection signal is sent to a controller section and the controller section determines based on the detection signal whether there is a shortage of components or not.

Description of the Related Art In a conventional radial type electronic component inserting machine, as a method of issuing a warning of a component out, one reflection type sensor is fixedly arranged at a specific place and selected by an NC program for insertion into a printed circuit board. When the radial type electronic component passes under the reflection type sensor, the reflection type sensor reads the reflected light from the tape fixing the radial type electronic component and detects the presence or absence of the tape. In some cases, the warning was displayed as a parts outage warning.

However, although they are replenished at the same time, since a normal worker only replenishes one warned component, the number of times component replenishment is stopped due to the out-of-component warning increases, and there is a problem that the operating rate is reduced.

である。According to the present invention, when the component out-of-stock state is detected at the time of component supply, the movable member and the component supply unit are moved so that the first and second component-out detection sensors can detect other components as well. It is possible to detect an out-of-stock condition and a part that will soon run out of parts, reduce the number of stoppages for replenishing parts, and improve the operating rate. It should be noted that the movable member and the component supply unit are moved together because the radial electronic component row in the component supply unit holds the radial electronic component in a horizontal position and holds it in the vertical position while moving toward the component supply position. This is because the rear portion of the component supply unit is wider than the moving range.
