Component storage system, a component storehouse and a magazine preparation method

Abstract

The component storehouse storing the tray in the tray storage rack (tray storage part) is notified of the magazine preparation command indicating the component to be held in the slot of the magazine. In response to this, the component storehouse includes the working robot (work implementation part) that conducts a predetermined work including the tray extraction work, the tray placement work, and the pallet insertion work. The working robot prepares the magazine where the component indicated by the magazine preparation command is held in the slot. In this way, it becomes possible to prepare the magazine automatically where the pallet is inserted in the slot with the tray housing the component placed on the pallet, thereby allowing manpower-saving in component replenishment.
