Abstract:
An apparatus for supporting an electric-component mounter including a substrate supporting device which supports a circuit substrate, an electric-component supplying device which supplies a plurality of electric components to be mounted on the circuit substrate, a mounting device which receives the electric components from the electric-component supplying device and mounts the electric components on the circuit substrate supported by the substrate supporting device, and a base member which supports the substrate supporting device, the electric-component supplying device, and the mounting device, the apparatus comprising:four elastic members each of which is for being provided between the base member and a surface of a floor which supports the base member;four dampers each of which is for damping vibration of the base member and the floor surface relative to each other, the vibration resulting from elastic deformation of the elastic member;two elongate upper members each of which is for being fixed to the base member; andtwo elongate lower members each of which is for being provided on the floor surface,two first elastic members of the four elastic members and two first dampers of the four dampers being provided between a first elongate upper member of the two elongate upper members and a first elongate lower member of the two elongate lower members, so as to provide a first supporting unit,two second elastic members of the four elastic members and two second dampers of the four dampers being provided between a second elongate upper member of the two elongate upper members and a second elongate lower member of the two elongate lower members, so as to provide a second supporting unit,one of the two first elastic members of the first supporting unit being provided at one of lengthwise opposite end portions of the first elongate upper member and one of lengthwise opposite end portions of the first elongate lower member, the other of the two first elastic members being provided at the respective other end portions of the first elongate upper and lower members, one of the two first dampers being provided at the respective one end portions of the first elongate upper and lower members, the other of the two first dampers being provided at the respective other end portions of the first elongate upper and lower members,one of the two second elastic members of the second supporting unit being provided at one of lengthwise opposite end portions of the second elongate upper member and one of lengthwise opposite end portions of the second elongate lower member, the other of the two second elastic members being provided at the respective other end portions of the second elongate upper and lower members, one of the two second dampers being provided at the respective one end portions of the second elongate upper and lower members, the other of the two second dampers being provided at the respective other end portions of the second elongate upper and lower members,wherein the first and second supporting units are for cooperating with each other to support the base member at respective locations which are distant from each other in horizontal direction.
