Component mounting device, method, and system that controls head based on degree of malfunction

A management method of managing a component mounter that mounts a plurality of components onto a substrate using some of a plurality of constituent elements each selected from one of a plurality of constituent element groups each including the plurality of constituent elements, one of the plurality of constituent element groups being a nozzle group including a plurality of nozzles, the management method comprising:

• obtaining an amount of pickup displacement being an amount of displacement between a target component being one of the plurality of components and a target nozzle that is one of the plurality of nozzles and picks up the target component;
• obtaining an amount of correction being an amount of offset of a position of the target nozzle when picking up the target component;
• calculating a true amount of displacement that is a sum of the amount of pickup displacement and the amount of correction;
• performing parameter estimation for a predetermined statistical model using the true amount of displacement to calculate a degree of malfunction of each of the plurality of constituent elements;
• comparing the degree of malfunction with a threshold to determine that the degree exceeds the threshold, and
• outputting a maintenance instruction in relation to corresponding one of the plurality of constituent elements, in response to determining that the degree exceeds the threshold,
• wherein the component mounter includes:
• a head that holds the plurality of nozzles;
• a head control device that controls a movement of the head;
• and
• an imaging device attached to the head,
• wherein the management method further comprises:
• outputting a predetermined signal to the head control device, when the degree of malfunction exceeds the threshold, and
• in response to the predetermined signal, moving the head, by the head control device, to cause the imaging device to perform imaging to generate an image.
