Spacer winding device in electronic parts packaging film carrier tape processing device, and spacer winding method in electronic parts packaging film carrier tape processing device

Abstract

A device and method for taking up a spacer which can prevent deformation, for example, the generation of a scratch on the surface of a film carrier tape for mounting an electronic component, the bending of an inner lead, surface damage, a fold caused by bending the film carrier tape, or the like. The feed driving shaft of the reel of the feeding device is coupled to a driving motor, and the take-up driving shaft of the spacer take-up device is coupled to a motor through a clutch, thereby taking up the spacer at a constant tension.

1 . A spacer take-up device in an apparatus for processing a film carrier tape for mounting an electronic component comprising: 
 a feeding device for feeding a film carrier tape for mounting an electronic component which is wound upon a reel through a spacer to a predetermined apparatus for processing a film carrier tape for mounting an electronic component; and    a spacer take-up device for winding the spacer fed out of the feeding device upon a reel,    wherein a feed driving shaft of the reel of the feeding device is coupled to a driving motor, and    a take-up driving shaft of the spacer take-up device is coupled to a motor through a clutch, thereby taking up the spacer at a constant tension.    
     
     
         2 . The spacer take-up device in the apparatus for processing a film carrier tape for mounting an electronic component according to  claim 1 , wherein an amount of take-up of the spacer take-up device is set to be greater than that of the feeding device, thereby taking up the spacer at a constant tension.  
     
     
         3 . The spacer take-up device in the apparatus for processing a film carrier tape for mounting an electronic component according to  claim 1 , wherein the clutch is always set in a slip state in such a manner that the motor for the take-up driving shaft is always rotated at a higher speed than a predetermined speed, and the tension to be applied to the spacer is thus set within a predetermined tension.  
     
     
         4 . A spacer take-up method in an apparatus for processing a film carrier tape for mounting an electronic component comprising: 
 feeding a film carrier tape for mounting an electronic component which is wound upon a reel of a feeding device through a spacer to a predetermined apparatus for processing a film carrier tape for mounting an electronic component; and    winding the spacer fed out of the feeding device upon a reel of a spacer take-up device,    wherein a feed driving shaft of the reel of the feeding device is coupled to a driving motor, and    a take-up driving shaft of the spacer take-up device is coupled to a motor through a clutch, thereby taking up the spacer at a constant tension.    
     
     
         5 . The spacer take-up method in the apparatus for processing a film carrier tape for mounting an electronic component according to  claim 4 , wherein an amount of take-up of the spacer take-up device is set to be greater than that of the feeding device, thereby taking up the spacer at a constant tension.  
     
     
         6 . The spacer take-up method in the apparatus for processing a film carrier tape for mounting an electronic component according to  claim 4 , wherein the clutch is always set in a slip state in such a manner that the motor for the take-up driving shaft is always rotated at a higher speed than a predetermined speed, and the tension to be applied to the spacer is thus set within a predetermined tension.  
     
     
         7 . The spacer take-up method in the apparatus for processing a film carrier tape for mounting an electronic component according to  claim 5 , wherein the clutch is always set in a slip state in such a manner that the motor for the take-up driving shaft is always rotated at a higher speed than a predetermined speed, and the tension to be applied to the spacer is thus set within a predetermined tension.  
     
     
         8 . The spacer take-up device in the apparatus for processing a film carrier tape for mounting an electronic component according to  claim 2 , wherein the clutch is always set in a slip state in such a manner that the motor for the take-up driving shaft is always rotated at a higher speed than a predetermined speed, and the tension to be applied to the spacer is thus set within a predetermined tension.
