Abstract
A component mounting system includes a board transport line for transporting a board from an upstream to a downstream and a work station disposed in the board transport line and performing component mounting work. The board transport line transports a board introduced in the downstream of the work station to the work station, and transports the board from the work station to the downstream when mounting of a component on the board is completed in the work station.
Claims9
A component mounting system comprising:
- a board transport line for transporting a board from an upstream to a downstream;
- and
- a work station disposed in the board transport line and performing component mounting work,
- wherein the board transport line transports a board introduced in the downstream of the work station to the work station, and transports the board from the work station to the downstream when mounting of a component on the board is completed in the work station.
A component mounting device comprising:
- a board transporter constituting a part of a board transport line for transporting a board from an upstream to a downstream;
- and
- a component mounting head mounting a component on the board in a work station in the middle of the board transporter,
- wherein the board transporter has a first operation mode in which a board received from an upstream device is transported to the work station and the board is delivered from the work station to a downstream device when mounting of the component on the board is completed in the work station, and a second operation mode in which a board introduced in the downstream of the work station is transported to the work station.
A board transport method in a component mounting device including a board transporter constituting a part of a board transport line for transporting a board from an upstream to a downstream, and a component mounting head mounting a component on the board in a work station in the middle of the board transporter, the method comprising:
- transporting a board introduced in the downstream of the work station to the work station by the board transporter;
- transporting the board to the upstream of a stop position which is set in the work station by the board transporter;
- and
- transporting the board to the downstream and stopping the board at the stop position by the board transporter.
