Patent ID: 8867846

Claim:
A method for generating mage-processing component data which is used for image-recognition of a component stuck to a suction nozzle of a component mounting apparatus, the method comprising: measuring second component shape data, via a control system of the component mounting apparatus, from an image of the component obtained by a camera imaging the component stuck to the suction nozzle of the component mounting apparatus; and generating image-processing component data, via the control system of the component mounting apparatus, including dimensions of the component and a tolerance corresponding to a width of an allowable variation range, based on the second component shape data and first component shape data which has been extracted from CAD data of the component, wherein a plurality of component shape data is measured from a plurality of obtained images respectively, and the image-processing component data is generated by use of the plurality of component shape data, and wherein the plurality of component shape data is statistically processed so that an allowable variation range is adjusted based on statistically processed values.
