Abstract
A component mounting system includes a component mounter group, a storage container, a loader, a host computer, and a production management computer. The host computer prepares jobs for each product based on a production plan for producing multiple types of products in which predetermined various types of components are mounted on a mounting target and sets a job in the jobs so prepared that satisfies a specified determination condition as a determined job. The production management computer shares the determined job with the host computer, makes a processing preparation for the determined job and thereafter causes the loader to unload and/or load component supply devices based on the results of the processing preparation for the determined job.
Claims4
A component mounting system comprising:
- a component mounter group made up by aligning multiple component mounters, each of the multiple component mounters comprising multiple component supply devices that are set detachably to the multiple component mounters and configured to mount components supplied by the multiple component supply devices on a mounting target, in a conveyance direction of the mounting target;
- a storage container configured to detachably support some of the multiple component supply devices in an aligned fashion;
- a loader configured to move along the conveyance direction so as to automatically unload and/or load a component supply device of the multiple component supply devices from and/or in a component mounter of the multiple component mounters and the storage container;
- a host computer configured to prepare, based on a production plan for producing various types of products in each of which predetermined various types of components are mounted on the mounting target, a job for each of the products and set the job which satisfies a specified determination condition as a determined job;
- and
- a production management computer configured to share the determined job with the host computer, make a preparation for processing the determined job, and thereafter cause the loader to unload and/or load the component supply device based on a result of the preparation for processing the determined job.
