Abstract
There is provided a component mounter including: a plurality of transport lanes for transporting a board sorted by a board sorting device; a congestion index calculator for calculating a congestion index indicating a congestion degree of each of the plurality of transport lanes; a transport lane determiner for determining a transport lane for carrying in the board among the plurality of transport lanes based on the calculated congestion index; and an outputter for outputting a board request signal for requesting to carry the board into the transport lane determined by the transport lane determiner, to the board sorting device.
Claims19
A component mounter comprising:
- a plurality of transport lanes for transporting a board sorted by a board sorting device;
- a congestion index calculator for calculating a congestion index indicating a congestion degree of each of the plurality of transport lanes;
- a transport lane determiner for determining a transport lane for carrying in the board among the plurality of transport lanes based on the calculated congestion index;
- and
- an outputter for outputting a board request signal for requesting to carry the board into the transport lane determined by the transport lane determiner, to the board sorting device.
A component mounting line comprising:
- a plurality of component mounters each including a plurality of connecting transport lanes having a plurality of transport lanes for transporting a board;
- a connecting congestion index calculator for calculating a connecting congestion index indicating a congestion degree of each of the plurality of connecting transport lanes;
- a connecting transport lane determiner for determining a connecting transport lane for carrying in the board among the plurality of connecting transport lanes based on the calculated connecting congestion index;
- and
- a board sorting device for sorting the board into the connecting transport lane determined by the connecting transport lane determiner.
A manufacturing method of a mounting board in a component mounting line including a plurality of component mounters each including a plurality of connecting transport lanes having a plurality of transport lanes for transporting a board, and a board sorting device for sorting the board, the method comprising:
- a connecting congestion index calculating step of calculating a connecting congestion index indicating a congestion degree of each of the plurality of connecting transport lanes;
- a connecting transport lane determining step of determining a connecting transport lane for carrying in the board among the plurality of connecting transport lanes based on the calculated connecting congestion index;
- and
- a board sorting step of sorting the board by the board sorting device into the connecting transport lane determined in the connecting transport lane determining step.
