Abstract
High-speed high-reliability component supplying method and mounting method is obtained by checking whether or not a component is the regular component to be mounted through a component type detecting process by means of component arrangement data having a plurality of substitute component type names of components which can be mounted in the proper position of a component supply section and a detection section and a comparing and deciding process.

A component supply method to be performed in a component supply section for supplying components to a component mounting section, the method comprising:
- detecting a component type of a component positioned in a component supply position at the component supply section, said detecting being performed by a detecting section;
- and
- determining whether the component type of the component positioned in the component supply section detected by the detecting section is an acceptable type by comparing the component type to a plurality of component types in a component arrangement data group, the plurality of component types in the component arrangement data group including master component types and substitute component types acceptable to be mounted in respective component supply positions.
A component mounting apparatus comprising:
- a mounting control unit operable to control a component mounting process comprising:
- a component type for detecting a component positioned in a component supply position at the component supply section, said detecting being performed by a detecting section;
- and
- the component type for determining whether the component positioned in the component supply section detected by the detecting section is an acceptable type by comparing the component type to a plurality of component types in a component arrangement data group, the plurality of component types in the component arrangement data group including master component types and substitute component types acceptable to be mounted in respective component supply positions.
A component arrangement data forming method, the component arrangement data to be used by a component supply section for supplying components to a component mounting section for mounting the components on a printed board, the method comprising:
- assembling master component type data corresponding to types of master components to be mounted in a component supply position;
- and
- assembling substitute component type data corresponding to acceptable substitute components for the master components to be mounted in the component supply position.
A component mounting apparatus comprising:
- a mounting control unit operable to control a component mounting process comprising:
- a master component type for assembling data corresponding to types of master components to be mounted in a component supply position;
- and
- a substitute component type for assembling data corresponding to acceptable substitute components for the master components to be mounted in the component supply position.
A component arrangement data forming method, the component arrangement data to be used by a component supply section for supplying components to a component mounting section for mounting the components on a printed board, the method comprising:
- assembling a component arrangement data group including a group of substitute component types corresponding to acceptable substitute components for master components to be mounted in the component supply position, said assembling being performed automatically by detecting a component type of a component positioned in a component supply position;
- and
- editing the component arrangement data group by writing a detected component type into the component arrangement data group.
A component mounting apparatus comprising:
- a mounting control unit operable to control a component mounting process comprising:
- a component arrangement for assembling data group including a group of substitute component types corresponding to acceptable substitute components for master components to be mounted in the component supply position, said assembling being performed automatically by detecting a component type of a component positioned in a component supply position;
- and
- the component arrangement for editing data group by writing a detected component type into the component arrangement data group.
