[Problems to be solved by the invention]
By the way, usually, the component identification barcode attached to the component reel is obtained by converting a component ID (manufacturer model) determined by the component provider (component manufacturer) into a barcode. In many cases, the component ID is different from the component ID (factory part number) used in the board production line including the mounting machine. In such a case, conventionally, the board producer creates a correspondence table indicating the correspondence between the component ID of the component provider and the component ID used in the board production line for various electronic components in advance. Using the correspondence table to replace the component ID of the component provider with the component ID used in the board production line when storing the data in the storage unit and collating data in the above-described method. Was needed. For this reason, the work of creating the correspondence table is troublesome, and burdens the substrate producer.
[0005]
The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and it is possible to determine whether or not a component supply unit in which a component assembly such as a component reel is set is correctly installed at a predetermined position. It is an object of the present invention to provide a method for confirming the setup of a component supply unit of a mounting machine, which can eliminate the need to previously create a correspondence table between a component ID used in a board production line and reduce the burden on the board producer. I do.
[0006]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
According to the present invention, a component assembly having a large number of electronic components is set in a component supply unit and installed at a predetermined position in a component supply area, while a printed circuit board to be produced is to be mounted on the substrate. A production program including data indicating a relationship between a required component that is an electronic component and a required position at which a corresponding component supply means should be installed is stored in advance, and when mounting the electronic component on the printed circuit board, Based on the production program, the mounter is configured to take out the required component from the component assembly of the component supply unit set at the corresponding required position and to be held in the component supply unit and installed in the component supply area. A component assembly ID, which is an identification symbol assigned in advance by the component provider for the component assembly, and a component supply in which the component assembly is set A process of examining the relationship with the installation position of the step and storing it in the storage unit, and reading out the required part ID in the program, which is an identification symbol used in the production program for the required part, from the production program and the required position, The process of reading the component assembly ID of the component assembly actually placed at the position from the storage unit, and determining whether the correspondence between the required program ID in the program and the component assembly ID has already been registered. If the correspondence is already registered, the requested part ID in the program of the required part and the part set ID of the part set actually placed at the requested position are determined based on the correspondence. Is determined as to whether or not they match, and if the correspondence is not registered, the requested part ID in the program of the requested part and the A process of registering the correspondence relationship between the component assembly ID of the component assemblies that are actually placed in the determined position, and performs.
[0007]
According to this method, the required part ID in the program of the required part and the required position corresponding to the required part are read from the production program, and the part assembly ID of the part assembly actually placed at the required position is checked. Then, based on these data, it is checked whether or not the component of the component assembly actually placed at the required position matches the required component. At this time, if the correspondence between the required part ID in the program and the part assembly ID is not recorded, a process of registering the correspondence is performed. Even if a table is not prepared, the above-mentioned correspondence is learned and recorded sequentially.
[0008]
In this method, when the correspondence between the required part ID in the program and the part assembly ID is not registered, the required part and the part assembly actually placed at the required position match. The correspondence between the required part ID in the required part program and the part group ID of the part group actually placed at the required position is registered on condition that the operator confirms that there is a certain part. , The above-described correspondence is correctly learned and recorded.
[0009]
As a specific method of checking the relationship between the component assembly ID and the position where the component assembly is installed for the component assembly held in the component supply means and installed in the component supply area, the component assembly is At the time of setting in the component supply means, the component assembly ID of the component assembly and the component supply means ID attached to the component supply means are checked and the correspondence between them is stored. The installation position of the component supply means is checked, the correspondence between the component supply means ID and the installation position is stored, and based on the comparison of the data of these two types of correspondence, it is set in the component supply means and set in the component supply area. The relationship between the component assembly ID of the component assembly installed in the device and the position where the component is installed may be obtained.
[0010]
Also, the component assembly ID and the component supply means ID may be displayed as a barcode and read by a barcode reader.
[0011]
When the component supply means is a tape feeder, the component assembly is a component reel wound with a component tape for storing electronic components, and the component assembly ID and the component supply means ID are the component reel and the tape feeder body. Is attached to each.
[0012]
Further, for a component assembly to which no component assembly ID is assigned, registration without ID is performed in advance, and a required component ID in the program of the required component and a component set of the component assembly actually placed at the required position are registered. When judging whether or not the body ID is the same as the body ID, there is no part assembly ID in the actually placed component assembly, and the requested component is a component registered without ID. In some cases, it is preferable to determine that they match.
[0013]
In this way, even if there is no component group ID, it is possible to check whether or not the component of the component group actually placed at the required position matches the required component.
[0014]
In addition, the mounting machine of the present invention sets a component assembly having a large number of electronic components in component supply means and installs the component assembly at a predetermined position in a component supply area, and on a printed circuit board to be produced, A production program including data indicating a relationship between a required component which is an electronic component to be mounted on the component and a required position where a component supply means corresponding to the component is to be installed is stored in advance, and an electronic program for the printed circuit board is stored. When mounting a component, based on the production program, in the mounting machine, the required component is taken out from the component assembly of the component supply means set at the corresponding required position. Reading means for reading a component assembly ID which is an identification symbol given in advance by the component provider with respect to the component assembly installed in the apparatus; Storage means for storing the part assembly ID read by the means in association with the installation position of the part supply means in which the part assembly is set, and identification of the required parts from the production program used in the production program The required part ID in the program and the required position, which are symbols, are read, and the part set ID of the part set actually placed at the required position is read from the storage unit. It is determined whether or not the correspondence with the body ID has already been registered. If the correspondence has already been registered, the request part ID in the program of the request part and the request position are actually stored based on the correspondence. It is determined whether or not the component assembly ID of the component assembly placed in Is obtained and a processing means for registering a correspondence relationship between the component assembly ID of the component assemblies that are actually placed in the program in the request part ID and the desired position in the request part.
[0015]
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
FIG. 1 schematically shows the mounting machine. In this figure, a mounting machine 1 includes a base 2, a conveyor 4 disposed on the base 2 for transporting a printed circuit board 3, a component supply unit 5 disposed on both sides of the conveyor 4, and a base. And a mounting head unit 6 provided above the mounting head unit 2.
[0016]
The head unit 6 is movable between the component supply unit 5 and the installation location of the printed circuit board 3 so that the component can be picked up from the component supply unit 5 and mounted on the printed circuit board 3. , The head unit 6 is movable in the X-axis direction (the direction of the conveyor 4) and the Y-axis direction (the direction orthogonal to the X-axis direction) over a predetermined range.
[0017]
That is, both end portions of the head unit support member 7 extending in the X-axis direction are supported by the guide rail 8 in the Y-axis direction, and the head unit support member 7 is movable along the guide rail 8, and the head unit The head unit 6 is supported by the support member 7 so as to be movable along the X axis. Then, the Y-axis servo motor 11 drives the head unit support member 7 in the Y-axis direction via the ball screw 12, and the X-axis servo motor 13 drives the head unit 6 in the X-axis direction via the ball screw 14. Driving is performed.
[0018]
The head unit 6 is provided with one or a plurality of heads 16 having nozzles 15 for sucking components, a Z-axis driving unit for moving the heads 16 up and down, a rotation driving unit for rotating the heads 16, and the like. . Further, a negative pressure for component suction can be supplied to the nozzle 15.
[0019]
The component supply unit 5 is provided with component supply means, and a component assembly having a large number of electronic components is set in the component supply means. In the present embodiment, a tape feeder 20 is used as a component supply unit, and the tape feeders 20 are arranged in many rows. Then, a component reel 22 as a component assembly is attached to the tape feeder 20 (see FIG. 3). The component reel 22 is wound around a component tape 21 that stores and holds small electronic components (not shown) at predetermined intervals.
[0020]
As shown in FIG. 3, the tape feeder 20 rotatably holds the component reel at a rear portion of the tape feeder main body 23, and has a component take-out portion 24 at a front portion of the tape feeder main body 23. Although not shown or described in detail, the tape 21 is led out from the reel 22 to the component pick-up unit 24, and the component pick-up unit 24 allows the component to be sucked from the tape 21 by the head 16 and is fed out. The mechanism allows the tape 21 to be unwound as parts are removed.
[0021]
A bar code label 25 is attached to the reel 22, and a bar code label 26 is also attached to the tape feeder 20. On the barcode label 25, a component assembly ID, which is a machine-specific symbol determined in advance by the component provider in accordance with the type of component, is described as a barcode. Further, the bar code label 26 indicates a component supply means ID for identifying the tape feeder 20 in the form of a bar code.
[0022]
The barcodes written on these barcode labels 25 and 26 can be read by a handy type barcode reader (reading means) 28.
[0023]
In FIG. 3, reference numeral 30 denotes a controller provided in the mounting machine, and information is input to the controller 30 from the barcode reader 28.
[0024]
The controller 30 includes a main operation unit (operation processing unit) 31, a control unit 32, and a storage unit (storage unit) 33.
[0025]
The control unit 32 outputs a control signal to a driving unit such as various motors provided in the mounting machine in order to control the operation of the mounting machine. In addition, the storage unit 33 stores a production program described later and various data necessary for controlling the operation of the mounting machine.
[0026]
The main processing unit 31 reads out the production program and various data from the storage unit 33, controls the operation of the mounting machine via the control unit 32, processes the information from the barcode reader 28, and At the stage before the mounting operation is performed after the tape feeder is attached to the component supply unit of the machine, processing such as determination of the presence or absence of erroneous setup in a method shown in FIGS. It has become.
[0027]
FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing an example of the component supply unit setup confirmation method. This method will be described. First, at the stage where the component reel 22 is set on the tape feeder 20, the operator operates the barcode reader 28, and the component assembly ID and the barcode label written on the barcode label 25 are displayed. 26 is read (steps S1 and S2), the read data is sent to the controller 30, and the controller 30 stores the relationship between the component assembly ID and the component supply unit ID in the data file F1. It is recorded (step S3).
[0028]
On the other hand, when the tape feeder 20 is installed in the component supply unit 1 of the mounting machine 1, the component supply means ID and the feeder installation position of the tape feeder 20 are read, and the controller 30 supplies the component supply means ID and the feeder installation position. Is recorded in the data file F2 (step S4).
[0029]
Further, by associating the data recorded in the data file F1 with the data recorded in the data file F2, a relationship between the component assembly ID and the feeder installation position is obtained, and the relationship is recorded in the data file F3. Is performed (step S5).
[0030]
In addition, a production program necessary for mounting components on a printed circuit board to be produced is stored in the data file F4 in advance. This production program includes a required part ID in the program indicating a required part (an electronic part to be mounted on the printed circuit board), a required position where a part supply means corresponding to the required part should be installed, and a required position. Is included.
[0031]
Next, after the tape feeder is attached to the component supply unit of the mounting machine and before the mounting operation is performed, the processing of steps S6 to S13 is performed by the controller 30.
[0032]
That is, data on the relationship between the component assembly ID and the feeder installation position is read from the data file F3, while the data of the production program is read from the data file F4, and these data are compared (step S6). . In this case, for each required component, the required component ID in the program and the component set ID of the component set actually placed at the requested position (this is obtained from the data read from the data file F3) Is compared with
[0033]
Then, it is checked whether or not there is an uncompared component among the required component IDs and component assembly IDs in the program for a predetermined number of components to be mounted on the printed circuit board (step S7). If there is, a comparison is made. In this case, it is first determined whether or not the correspondence between the required part ID in the program and the part assembly ID has already been registered for each required part (step S8). A message requesting visual confirmation of the component assembly actually placed at the position is output (step S9). Then, based on the input of the result of the visual check, it is determined whether or not the component assembly actually placed at the requested position is wrong (step S10). Registration of the correspondence with the part assembly ID is performed (step S11).
[0034]
When the process in step S11 is performed, the process returns to step S7. If it is determined in step S8 that the correspondence has already been registered, the registration data matches the required part ID in the program with the part set ID of the part set at the requested position. (Indicating the same part) is checked (step S12), and if they match, the process returns to step S7. Then, if it is determined in step S7 that there is an uncompared one, the processing from step S8 is repeated. The process ends when there are no uncompared items.
[0035]
If it is determined in step S10 that the component assembly actually placed at the requested position is wrong, or if the station 12 determines that the IDs do not match, a message of a setup correction request is issued. Is output (step S13). Then, if an erroneous setup such as an incorrect feeder installation position is corrected, data such as the data file F3 is corrected, and processing such as ID comparison (step S6) is performed again.
[0036]
According to the above-described method, after the data on the relationship between the component assembly ID and the feeder installation position is registered through the processing in steps S1 to S5, the data and the request in the program included in the production program are registered. The data indicating the relationship between the part ID and the required position is compared, and based on the comparison, it is checked whether the required part matches the part of the parts assembly actually placed at the required position. Since the correction request is made, the erroneous setup in the component supply unit is reliably prevented from being overlooked.
[0037]
In addition, an ID (part assembly ID) assigned on the part provider side and an ID (requested part ID in the program) assigned on the printed circuit board producer side for the same part are different, and Even if the correspondence between the two is not registered, the correspondence is learned and registered in the part supply unit setup confirmation performed in steps S6 to S13, and after registration, both IDs are used by using the data. By comparing, it is determined whether or not the required component matches the component of the component assembly actually placed at the required position.
[0038]
Therefore, it is not necessary for the printed circuit board manufacturer to create a correspondence table between the two IDs in advance, and it is possible to easily and reliably determine whether there is an erroneous setup in the component supply unit.
[0039]
FIG. 5 shows another example of the component supply unit setup confirmation method.
[0040]
In this example, even if there is a reel 22 to which the component provider has not previously attached a bar code of the component assembly ID (no bar code label is attached), it is possible to determine whether there is an erroneous setup. . In this case, the data on the required component in the production program corresponding to the component stored on the reel 22 to which the component assembly ID is not attached is made to include data without the ID in advance. For example, in the data file, a bar code absence check column is provided in the data on the required component, and this column is checked.
[0041]
Also, a bar code label for no ID indicating that there is no component assembly ID is attached to an appropriate place near the component supply unit, and the bar code of the component assembly ID is not attached to the reel 22. Allows the bar code label for no ID to be read by a bar code reader.
[0042]
When the component reel 22 is set on the tape feeder 20 and when the tape feeder 20 is set on the component supply unit 5, the same processing (not shown in FIG. 5) as in steps S1 to S5 in FIG. However, if the component assembly ID is not assigned, the data of the bar code label for no ID and the component supply unit ID are recorded in association with each other in the process corresponding to steps S1 to S3, and the process proceeds to step S5. In the corresponding processing, the data of the bar code label without ID and the feeder installation position are recorded in association with each other.
[0043]
After such preparation, the processing shown in FIG. 5 is performed. In this case, first, information from the barcode read by the barcode reader 28 (see FIG. 3) is input, and information from the production program is input (steps S21 and S22). Then, by comparing the required part ID in the program with the part group ID, it is checked whether or not the required part matches the part of the part group at the required position (step S23). Is determined to be normal (OK) (step S24).
[0044]
If it is determined in step S23 that they do not match (including the case where there is no component assembly ID), it is determined whether or not the bar code absence check column for the required component in the production program is checked (step S25). . When the bar code absence check box is checked, it is further determined whether or not the bar code information indicates that there is no ID (step S26). If both steps S25 and S26 are YES, it is determined to be normal (OK) (step S24). If any of steps S25 and S26 is NO, it is determined to be abnormal (NG) (step S27).
[0045]
According to this method, the information is normal when the information from the production program and the information from the barcode are common in that there is no ID. Therefore, when there is a component aggregate without an ID on the component provider side, However, the presence or absence of the erroneous setup can be relatively accurately determined.
[0046]
6 and 7 show a case where the present invention is applied to a tray feeder. 6, the tray feeder 50 includes a tray storage box 51 and a drawer mechanism 52 for pulling out a pallet 53 described later from the tray storage box 51.

A tray 54 for holding components is placed on each of the pallets (see FIG. 7). The tray 54 can hold electronic components arranged in a matrix on the upper surface thereof.
[0048]
The pull-out mechanism 52 includes a movable member (not shown) movable within a predetermined range in the pallet in-and-out direction, a pull-out driving means (not shown) for moving the movable member, and a vertically moving pull-out mechanism 52.

It can be pulled out in front of the box 51. Then, with the pallet 53 pulled out in this way, the components on the tray 54 placed on the pallet 53 can be taken out by the head unit of the mounting machine.
[0049]

[0050]
In FIG. 7, reference numeral 58 denotes a tray storage box for stacking and packing a large number of trays 54 holding components, and the tray 54 taken out from the tray storage box 58 is placed on the pallet 53. To the tray storage box 58, a bar code label 59 for converting the tray ID determined by the tray component provider into a bar code and identifying the tray is attached.
[0051]
The barcode of the label 59 attached to the tray storage box 58 and the barcode of the label 56 attached to the upper surface of the pallet 53 are used when the tray 54 is set on the pallet 53 from the tray storage box 58. It is read by a handy type barcode reader 60 operated by an operator. Then, the correspondence between the tray ID and the pallet ID can be checked by matching the barcode data.
[0052]

Then, based on the read data and the detection data of the height of the pallet 53, the correspondence between the pallet ID and the pallet height position can be checked.
[0053]
When applied to the tray feeder in this manner, assuming that the tray ID represented by the bar code attached to the tray storage box 58 corresponds to the component assembly ID, and the pallet ID corresponds to the component supply unit ID, Using the data on these IDs and the data on the production program stored in the controller 62, a method as shown in FIG. 4 described above can be executed. When there is a tray to which the above-mentioned tray ID is not attached, a method as shown in FIG. 5 can be executed.
[0054]
