COMPONENT SUPPLY DEVICE, COMPONENT SUPPLY METHOD, AND PROGRAM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18135221 titled 'COMPONENT SUPPLY DEVICE, COMPONENT SUPPLY METHOD, AND PROGRAM

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a component supply device that includes several components and a hardware processor for determining the state of the component loaded on the device.

  • The device includes a picker base where a component is loaded and a supplier that picks up the component and supplies it to a predetermined position.
  • A detector is used to detect the component loaded on the picker base.
  • The hardware processor analyzes the information detected by the detector to determine the state of the component.
  • The hardware processor determines whether the component is pickable or unpickable by the supplier based on its state.
  • If the component is determined to be unpickable, the hardware processor calculates an operation amount to adjust the component to a pickable state.
  • An adjuster is then used to adjust the state of the unpickable component based on the calculated operation amount.


Original Abstract Submitted

A component supply device includes: a picker base on which a component is to be loaded; a supplier that picks up the component loaded on the picker base and supplies the component to a predetermined position; a detector that detects the component loaded on the picker base; and a hardware processor that determines a state of the component loaded on the picker base, on a basis of information detected by the detector, wherein the hardware processor determines whether the component is a component that is pickable or a component that is unpickable by the supplier on a basis of the state of the component, and calculates an operation amount for adjusting the component that is unpickable to a pickable state and adjusts only a state of the component that is unpickable by an adjuster on a basis of the calculated operation amount.
