A work system includes multiple work devices aligned along a board conveyance line, a replenishing device having a sensor for detecting presence or absence of an interfering object and configured to move in parallel with the board conveyance line while detecting the presence or absence of the interfering object by the sensor to replenish necessary members to the multiple work devices, and a draw-out device configured to draw out at least one of the multiple work devices in a direction orthogonal to a direction along the board conveyance line. When a draw-out request for the work device is made, the replenishing device performs an automatic draw-out process of moving to a position in which a draw-out position of the work device to be pulled forward is included within a detection range of the sensor, so as to determine whether the interfering object is detected by the sensor.

The present description discloses a work system.
Conventionally, a work system including multiple work devices for performing work on a circuit board has been proposed (for example, see Patent Literature 1). The multiple work devices are arranged on a system base in line in the board conveyance direction, and are configured to be movable relative to the system base along a device track extending in a direction crossing the board conveyance direction (front-rear direction). With such a work system, by pulling the work device forward to the front side with respect to the adjacent work device (draw-out state), it is possible to easily perform works such as maintenance and adjustment.

FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a schematic configuration of component mounting system 10 according to the present embodiment.
FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a schematic configuration of component mounting machine 20.
FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a schematic configuration of feeder 30.
Next, Description of Embodiments of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a schematic configuration of component mounting system 10 of the present embodiment. FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a schematic configuration of component mounting machine 20. FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a schematic configuration of feeder 30. FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a schematic configuration of loader 50. FIG. 5 is a diagram showing a schematic configuration of draw-out device 70. FIG. 6 is an explanatory diagram showing an electrical connection relationship among mounting control device 29, loader control device 59, and management device 80. In FIGS. 1 and 2, the left-right direction is the X-axis direction, the front-rear direction is the Y-axis direction, and the up-down direction is the Z-axis direction.
As shown in FIG. 1, component mounting system 10 includes printer 12, printing inspector 14, multiple component mounting machines 20, a mounting inspector (not shown), loader 50, feeder storage container 60, draw-out device 70 (see FIG. 5), and management device 80. Printer 12 prints solder on board S. Printing inspector 14 inspects the state of the solder printed by printer 12. Component mounting machine 20 is mounted on base 18 aligned along the conveyance direction (X-direction) of board S, and mounts the component supplied from feeder 30 on board S. The mounting inspector inspects a mounting state of the component mounted on component mounting machine 20. Loader 50 replenishes necessary feeders 30 to multiple component mounting machines 20, and collects used feeders 30 from component mounting machines 20. Feeder storage container 60 is capable of storing feeder 30 to be used in component mounting machine 20 and the used feeder 30. Draw-out device 70 pulls component mounting machine 20 forward with respect to base 18 (in a direction orthogonal to the conveyance direction of board S, that is, in the Y-direction) so that the operator can easily perform the work in housing 22 at the time of occurrence of changeover or occurrence of an error. Management device 80 manages the entire system. Printer 12, printing inspector 14, and multiple component mounting machines 20 are arranged side by side in the conveyance direction of board S in this order to constitute a production line. Feeder storage container 60 is incorporated in the production line of component mounting system 10, and is installed between component mounting machine 20 located on the most upstream side in the conveyance direction of the board among multiple component mounting machines 20 and printing inspector 14. That is, feeder storage container 60 is installed upstream of component mounting machine 20 on the most upstream side.
