Component verification system

A part verification system for a part supply unit where a plurality of tape feeders are arranged, the part verification system being provided for determining whether or not a tape for supplying parts mounted on the tape feeder is appropriate, the part verification system comprising:

• sensors provided to the plurality of tape feeders, the sensors being configured to detect tapes, respectively;
• a reader configured to read identification information of an accommodated part from a recorder which records the identification information and is provided to a tape or a reel around which the tape is wound;
• a memory connected to a memory part configured to store part verification information correlating set position information which is information on a set position of the tape feeders in the part supply unit with the identification information;
• a part verification processing system having an arithmetic processing part performs part verification processing operations and determines when the identification information of the tape is read using the reader, whether or not the tape is actually mounted on the tape feeder at the set position corresponding to the identification information based on the identification information, the part verification information and an output from the sensor, to perform verification updating processing, that is, updating tape presence or absence information at the set position when the part verification processing system determines that the tape is mounted on the tape feeder at the set position;
• a tape monitor configured to perform tape detection processing for determining that the tape is mounted on the tape feeder without reading of identification information using the reader based on the output from the sensor;
• a timer configured to count a time which is set preliminarily as a time period within which the tape is mountable and is remountable on the tape feeder in synchronism with reading of the identification information using the reader;
• and
• a notifier configured to notify so as to request the reading of the identification information relating to the tape from the recorder when the tape monitor determines that the tape is mounted on the tape feeder.
