Abstract
A component mounting system includes multiple component mounters configured to each hold component mounting tools in an automatically exchangeable manner, a conveyance device configured to convey the component mounting tools between a storage area configured to store the component mounting tools, and a plan creation section configured to create a conveyance plan for the component mounting tools using the conveyance device based on a production plan indicating a type and a production order of the board product, and setup information indicating the types and quantities of the component mounting tools used by each of the multiple component mounters for each type of the board product or maintenance information indicating the maintenance timing of the component mounting tools.
Claims16
A component mounting system comprising:
- multiple component mounters configured to each hold component mounting tools used in mounting a component on a board at a predetermined exchange position inside the component mounter in an automatically exchangeable manner, the component mounters being arranged side by side with each other to configure a production line for board products;
- a conveyance device configured to convey the component mounting tools between a storage area configured to store the component mounting tools either outside the component mounter or inside the component mounter excluding the exchange position and the exchange position of the component mounter, and between the exchange positions of the multiple component mounters;
- and
- a plan creation section configured to create a conveyance plan for the component mounting tools using the conveyance device based on a production plan indicating a type and a production order of the board product, and setup information indicating the types and quantities of the component mounting tools used by each of the multiple component mounters for each type of the board product or maintenance information indicating the maintenance timing of the component mounting tools.
A mounting tool feeder comprising:
- a mounting tool holding unit configured to detachably hold component mounting tools that a component mounter uses in mounting a component on a board, the mounting tool holding unit having the same configuration as a configuration of a mounting tool station disposed at a predetermined first exchange position in which automatic exchange of the component mounting tools is enabled inside the component mounter;
- and
- an attachment section detachably attached to the component mounter such that the mounting tool holding unit is disposed at a predetermined second exchange position inside the component mounter.
A mounting tool feeder comprising:
- a mounting tool holding unit configured to detachably hold component mounting tools that a component mounter uses in mounting a component on a board;
- an accommodation magazine configured to accommodate multiple mounting tool holding units;
- an exchange mechanism configured to selectively take out the mounting tool holding unit from the accommodation magazine and dispose the mounting tool holding unit at a predetermined exchange position in which automatic exchange of the component mounting tools is enabled inside the component mounter;
- and
- an attachment section attached to the component mounter.
