Feeder management device and component-mounting system provided with same

A component-mounting system comprising:

• a component-mounting device having a component feeding unit in which a plurality of tape feeders are arranged in a row, the tape feeders are configured to deliver components being carried on a component storage tape to feed the components;
• and
• a feeder management device that manages arrangement of the plurality of tape feeders in the component feeding unit,
• the feeder management device comprising:
• a feeder classifier configured to classify the plurality of tape feeders as one of a plurality of types of tape feeders, the plurality of tape feeders are classified according to a classification index that is based on a shape or on a method of supplying the component storage tape;
• an input unit that receives input of an instruction to set an arrangement of the plurality of tape feeders;
• and
• a feeder arrangement setting unit that, based on the instruction input to the input unit, is configured to arrange the plurality of tape feeders based on the classification of the tape feeders made by the feeder classifier,
• the feeder arrangement setting unit includes:
• a first setting unit that is configured to extract a tape feeder that has been classified as a special type feeder by the feeder classifier, and arrange the plurality of tape feeders such that a given reference number or more of the special type feeders are arranged consecutively in a row in an area of the component feeding unit, the area being defined by at least both ends of the component feeding unit in a direction of the row.
