Abstract
A system including multiple inspection machines and an NG board discharge machine which moves an NG board to a checking position visible to a worker. The system acquires positional information of a circuit board during conveyance, and stores the NG board by associating a work result for the NG board with the positional information. In this manner, the positional information of the NG board is acquired. Based on the positional information, it is determined whether or not the circuit board conveyed to the NG board discharge machine is the NG board. When the circuit board conveyed to the NG board discharge machine is the NG board, a checking-purpose working machine discharges the NG board to the checking position.
Claims4
A board working system, comprising:
- multiple working machines including multiple paths in parallel to each other through each of the working machines on which circuit boards are conveyed in a conveyance direction from an upstream side to a downstream side of the multiple working machines, and each of the multiple working machines sequentially carries out work for the circuit boards, the multiple working machines include
- multiple inspection-purpose working machines which inspect the work for the circuit boards, the multiple inspection-purpose working machines each including
- an inspection head,
- an inspection camera mounted on a lower end surface of the inspection head, and
- multiple first conveyance devices corresponding to the multiple paths, each including a first conveyor belt;
- and
- a checking-purpose working machine including
- multiple second conveyance devices each including a second conveyor belt, a quantity of the first conveyance devices equaling a quantity of the second conveyance devices, and
- a board moving mechanism including multiple panels on top of which the multiple second conveyance devices are respectively arranged, the multiple panels configured to move in a direction orthogonal to the conveyance direction to discharge the circuit boards from the multiple paths to a checking position visible to a worker, the checking-purpose working machine arranged immediately downstream of one of the multiple inspection-purpose working machines in the conveyance direction, the board moving mechanism configured to move any one of the second conveyance devices to connect to any one of the first conveyance devices of the one of the multiple inspection-purpose working machines via the multiple panels.
