Abstract
A component supply unit set-up system includes a container warehouse configured to store multiple component containers for containing multiple components, a unit storage shed configured to store multiple component supply units used when the component, which is contained in the component container, is supplied in a mounting operation performed by a component mounter, a work table disposed between the container warehouse and the unit storage shed and used for a loading operation of loading the component supply unit with the component container, a container conveyance robot configured to convey the component container between the container warehouse and the work table, and a unit conveyance robot configured to convey the component supply unit between the unit storage shed and the work table.
Claims8
A component supply unit set-up system comprising:
- a container warehouse configured to store multiple component containers that contain multiple components;
- a unit storage shed configured to store multiple component supply units that supply the components, which are contained in the component containers, in a mounting operation performed by a component mounter;
- an operation table disposed between the container warehouse and the unit storage shed, the operation table including a container loader that automatically performs a loading operation to load the component supply unit with the component container;
- a container conveyance robot configured to convey the component container between the container warehouse and the operation table;
- and
- a unit conveyance robot configured to convey the component supply unit between the unit storage shed and the operation table,
- wherein the container loader automatically loads the component supply unit conveyed by the unit conveyance robot with the component container conveyed by the container conveyance robot.
