Abstract
A board manufacturing system includes an autonomous mobile cart configured to transport an object used in board work devices of a mounting line, a robot arm provided on the autonomous mobile cart and configured to transport the object used in the board work devices to the board work devices, and a controller provided in the autonomous mobile cart and configured or programmed to control driving of the robot arm. The controller is configured or programmed to control the driving of the robot arm such that the robot arm transports the object used in the board work devices into and out of the board work devices within a movable range of a working unit in the board work devices in a plan view.

A board manufacturing system comprising:
- a mounting line including a plurality of board work devices, the plurality of board work devices including a component mounting device configured to mount a component on a board;
- an autonomous mobile cart configured to transport an object used in the board work devices of the mounting line;
- a robot arm on the autonomous mobile cart and configured to transport the object used in the board work devices to the board work devices;
- and
- a controller in the autonomous mobile cart or the robot arm and configured or programmed to control driving of the robot arm;
- wherein
- the board work devices include a working unit configured to work on the board;
- and
- the controller is configured or programmed to control the driving of the robot arm such that the robot arm transports the object used in the board work devices into and out of the board work devices within a movable range of the working unit in the board work devices in a plan view;
- and
- the controller is configured or programmed to control the driving of the robot arm such that the robot arm delivers and receives the object used in the board work devices to and from the working unit in the board work devices.
(canceled)
An autonomous mobile cart comprising:
- an autonomous mobile cart main body configured to transport an object used in board work devices of a mounting line including a plurality of the board work devices, the plurality of board work devices including a component mounting device configured to mount a component on a board;
- a robot arm on the autonomous mobile cart main body and configured to transport the object used in the board work devices to the board work devices;
- and
- a controller in the autonomous mobile cart main body or the robot arm and configured or programmed to control driving of the robot arm;
- wherein
- the controller is configured or programmed to control the driving of the robot arm such that the robot arm transports the object used in the board work devices into and out of the board work devices within a movable range of a working unit configured to work on the board in the board work devices in a plan view;
- and
- the controller is configured or programmed to control the driving of the robot arm such that the robot arm delivers and receives the object used in the board work devices to and from the working unit in the board work devices.
A board manufacturing method in a mounting line including a plurality of board work devices, the plurality of board work devices including a component mounting device configured to mount a component on a board, the board manufacturing method comprising:
- transporting an object used in the board work devices of the mounting line by an autonomous mobile cart;
- driving a robot arm such that the robot arm transports the object used in the board work devices into and out of the board work devices within a movable range of a working unit configured to work on the board in the board work devices in a plan view;
- and
- driving the robot arm such that the robot arm delivers and receives the object used in the board work devices to and from the working unit in the board work devices.
