Abstract
A method controls a component mounter which includes a mobile unit for mounting a component onto a circuit board, and judges on which side of the component mounter as user, who issues an instruction to the component mounter, is present. Additionally, the method performs position control by shifting the mobile unit to a position which allows a maintenance task to be performed on the component mounter from the side on which the user is judged to be present.

A method of controlling a component mounter which includes a mobile unit for mounting a component onto a circuit board, the component mounter including plural operation units for a user to issue an instruction to the component mounter, one of the plural operation units being installed to a front side and one of the plural operation units being installed to a back side of the component mounter, the method comprising:
- judging on which side of the component mounter the user, who issued the instruction to the component mounter, is present;
- shifting the mobile unit to a position which allows a maintenance task to be performed on the component mounter from a side on which the user is judged to be present;
- and
- accepting the instruction by the user issued from one of the operation units,
- wherein when the instruction by the user issued from the operation unit on the front side is accepted, the user is judged to be present on the front side of the component mounter, and when the instruction by the user issued from the operation unit on the back side is accepted, the user is judged to be present on the back side of the component mounter.
A component mounter which includes a mobile unit for mounting a component onto a circuit board, the component mounter comprising:
- plural operation units for a user to issue an instruction to the component mounter, one of the plural operation units being installed to a front side and one of the plural operation units being installed to a back side of the component mounter;
- a judgment unit operable to judge on which side of the component mounter a user who issues an instruction to the component mounter is present;
- and
- a position control unit operable to shift the mobile unit to a position which allows a maintenance task to be performed on the component mounter from a side on which the user is judged to be present,
- wherein when the instruction by the user issued from the operation unit on the front side is accepted, the user is judged to be present on the front side of the component mounter, and when the instruction by the user issued from the operation unit on the back side is accepted, the user is judged to be present on the back side of the component mounter.
A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing a program for executing a method for controlling a component mounter, which includes a mobile unit for mounting a component onto a circuit board, the component mounter including plural operation units for a user to issue an instruction to the component mounter, one of the plural operation units being installed to a front side and one of the plural units being installed a back side of the component mounter, the program product which, when loaded into a computer, allows the computer to execute steps of the component mounter control method comprising:
- judging on which side of the component mounter a user, who issues an instruction to the component mounter, is present;
- shifting the mobile unit to a position which allows a maintenance task to be performed on the component mounter, from a side on which the user is judged to be present;
- and
- accepting the instruction by the user issued from one of the plural operation units,
- wherein when the instruction by the user issued from the operation unit on the front side is accepted, the user is judged to be present on the front side of the component mounter, and when the instruction by the user issued from the plural operation unit on the back side is accepted, the user is judged to be present on the back side of the component mounter.
