Description
Technical Field
The present invention relates to a distribution device, a production system, and a distribution method for distributing feeders to feeder holders of a mounting device.
Background
In general, in a component mounting apparatus, a plurality of feeders are arranged side by side on a placement table called a feeder holder. The components are sequentially fed from the feeders to a pickup position of the mounting head, and the mounting head is moved between the feeders and the substrate, thereby mounting the components on the substrate. The feeder allocation to the feeder container is determined in accordance with a production program for each substrate input to a host computer as an allocation device. The feeders to be mounted on the substrate are designated in the production program of each substrate, and the feeders used in each production program are different.
Conventionally, a feeder allocation method is known which can efficiently execute a plurality of production programs (for example, see patent document 1). The feeder allocation method described in patent document 1 optimizes the allocation of feeders so that, after a plurality of production programs are registered in a reservation file of a host computer and clustered into 1 program, even if the production program is changed due to a change in a substrate, a replacement operation of the feeders does not occur in the same cluster (cluster). The optimized reservation file is notified from the host computer to the mounting device, and the feeder is mounted in the feeder receiver in accordance with the feeder arrangement of the reservation file before the mounting device is operated.
Patent document 1: japanese patent laid-open publication No. 2004-319719
In the feeder allocation method described in patent document 1, each feeder used in a plurality of production programs can be efficiently allocated for each cluster of a reservation file. However, when a new production program needs to be added to the optimized reservation file (cluster) due to a change in the production plan or the like, the feeder configuration of the reservation file is optimized again, and there is a possibility that the feeder configuration may be largely changed from the existing feeder configuration. This causes a problem that the arrangement of feeders in the feeder container is changed to cause a replacement work of the feeders, which increases the number of work steps and increases the work load on the operator.
Disclosure of Invention
The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide a distribution device, a production system, a distribution method, and a program used in the distribution device, which can optimally distribute feeders without increasing the work load of an operator when a new production program is added.
A dispensing device according to the present invention is a dispensing device that dispenses feeders used in a production process to feeder pockets of a mounting device that mounts components fed from the feeders to a substrate based on the production process, the dispensing device including: a storage unit that stores a reservation file including a cluster obtained by merging a plurality of different production programs for each type of substrate; and a distribution unit that distributes feeders used in the plurality of production programs to the feeder holders for each cluster, wherein when a new production program is added to the reservation file, the distribution unit prioritizes the placement of feeders in existing clusters and distributes feeders used in the new production program to the feeder holders.
The present invention provides a method of distributing a feeder used in a production process to a feeder pocket of a mounting device that mounts a component fed from the feeder to a substrate based on the production process, the method including: generating a cluster in which a plurality of different production programs for each type of substrate are merged for a reservation file; and a step of allocating feeders used in the plurality of production programs to the feeder pockets for each cluster, wherein in the step of allocating the feeders to the feeder pockets, when a new production program is added to the reservation file, the feeders of existing clusters are prioritized in arrangement, and the feeders used in the new production program are allocated to the feeder pockets.
According to these configurations, even if a new production program is added to an existing cluster of the reservation file, the feeder arrangement of the existing cluster is prioritized. This allows the feeders used in the new production process to be allocated to the feeder pockets without significantly changing the feeder arrangement with respect to the current feeder pocket. The replacement work of the feeder can be minimized, and the work load of the operator can be reduced. As described above, the feeders can be allocated to the feeder pockets in consideration of the workload of the operator.
The above-described distribution device includes a search unit that searches the reservation file for an existing cluster using at least 1 feeder identical to the new production program, and adds the new production program to the existing cluster searched by the search unit. According to this configuration, since the feeders used in the existing clusters are also used in the new production program, the increase of the feeders due to the addition of the new production program can be suppressed to the minimum.
The distribution device described above includes a determination unit that determines whether or not the feeders used in the new production program can be distributed to the feeder holders in which the feeders of the existing cluster are set, and when the determination unit determines that the feeders used in the new production program can be distributed, the distribution unit distributes the feeders used in the new production program to the feeder holders without changing the feeder arrangement of the existing cluster. According to this configuration, the feeders used in the new production process can be allocated to the feeder pockets without changing the feeder arrangement of the existing cluster.
In the above-described distribution device, when the determination unit determines that the feeder used in the new production program cannot be distributed, a new cluster is generated in the reservation file and used for the new production program, and the new production program is added to the new cluster. According to this configuration, the work load of the operator can be reduced by replacing the feeder container to which the feeder of the existing cluster is attached with the feeder container to which the feeder of the new cluster is attached for each feeder container.
In the above-described distribution device, the distribution unit may redistribute the feeder arrangements of the existing cluster and the new cluster so as to minimize a change in the feeder arrangement of the existing cluster. According to this configuration, even when a new production program is added to a new cluster, the replacement work by an operator when switching from an existing cluster to a new cluster can be minimized, and the work load can be reduced.
The production system of the present invention comprises: the above-described dispensing device; and a mounting device having a feeder receiver to which the feeder is dispensed by the dispensing device. According to this configuration, the feeders can be allocated to the feeder holders of the mounting device in consideration of the workload of the operator.

Detailed Description
Next, a production system according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings. Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of a production system according to the present embodiment. Fig. 2 is a diagram showing an example of the distribution of feeders according to the comparative example. In the following production system, the mounting device of the module model is exemplified and described, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and can be appropriately modified. For example, the present invention can be applied to a rotary type mounting apparatus.
As shown in fig. 1, the production system 1 according to the present embodiment is configured such that each of the mounting apparatuses 2 is connected to a host computer 3 by wired connection or wireless connection, and the host computer 3 centrally manages the plurality of mounting apparatuses 2. Each mounting apparatus 2 downloads a production program from the host computer 3 every time a substrate W to be mounted is changed, and mounts a component (not shown) supplied from a supplier (supply apparatus) 4 on the substrate W based on the production program. The production program differs for each type of substrate W, and includes data relating to the mounting position of components on the substrate W, the type of components, the type of feeders 4, and the like.
A substrate transport unit 22 is disposed substantially at the center of the base 21 of the mounting device 2 in the X-axis direction. The substrate transfer unit 22 carries in and positions the substrate W before component mounting from one end side in the X axis direction below the mounting head 23, and carries out the substrate W after component mounting from the other end side in the X axis direction. Further, a replacement carriage 25 provided with a feeder holder 24 is coupled to the mounting device 2, and a plurality of feeders 4 are mounted in the feeder holder 24 in parallel along the substrate conveying section 22. The replacement carriage 25 is separable from the mounting device 2, and the replacement of the replacement carriage 25 allows simultaneous replacement of a plurality of feeders 4 together with the feeder holder 24.
A tape reel (not shown) is detachably mounted on the feeder 4, and a carrier tape in which a plurality of components are packaged is wound around the tape reel. The feeder 4 sequentially draws out the components toward the delivery position picked up by the mounting head 23 by the rotation of the reel. At the delivery position of the mounting head 23, the cover tape on the surface is peeled off from the carrier tape, and the components in the pockets of the carrier tape are exposed to the outside. The feeder 4 is not limited to a belt feeder, and may be configured by any of a bulk feeder, a rod feeder, and a stacked rod feeder.
Further, an XY-moving unit 26 for moving the mounting head 23 in the X-axis direction and the Y-axis direction is provided on the base 21. The XY moving unit 26 includes: a pair of Y-axis tables 27 extending in the Y-axis direction; and an X-axis table 28 extending in the X-axis direction. The pair of Y-axis tables 27 are supported by support portions (not shown) provided upright at four corners of the base 21, and the X-axis table 28 is provided on the pair of Y-axis tables 27 so as to be movable in the Y-axis direction. The mounting head 23 is movably provided in the X-axis direction on the X-axis table 28, and the mounting head 23 is horizontally moved by the X-axis table 28 and the Y-axis table 27 to mount the component picked up from the feeder 4 on a desired position of the substrate W.
In the production system 1 configured as described above, production programs different for each substrate W are registered in the host computer 3 according to the production schedule, and a reservation file F (see fig. 2) composed of a plurality of production programs is generated. The mounting apparatus 2 reads a production program from the reservation file F, and mounts components on the substrate W based on the production program. At this time, clusters obtained by combining a plurality of production programs are set in the reservation file F, and the distribution of the plurality of feeders 4 used in each production program to the feeder pockets 24 is determined for each cluster.
For example, as shown in fig. 2A, in the case where a plurality of production programs a-E are registered as 1 cluster in the reservation file F, the arrangement of the feeders 4A-4E is optimized in the feeder receiver 24. That is, the components used in the production sequences a-E are selectively fed from the feeders 4A-4E, and the placement of the feeders 4A-4E is determined so as to improve the tact time at the time of the mounting process. Thus, even if the production program is changed by switching the substrate W to be mounted, if the substrates are in the same cluster, the operator can continue the mounting process by the mounting device 2 without performing the replacement operation of the feeder 4.
Further, as shown in fig. 2B, if a new production program is added to an existing cluster of the reservation file F due to a change in the production plan or the like, it is necessary to add the feeder 4X used only in the new production program to the feeder holder 24. In the host computer 3 (see fig. 1), since the allocation is determined in consideration of the line beat, the placement of the feeders 4A to 4E is automatically changed in association with the addition of the feeder 4X. Therefore, every time a new production program is added to an existing cluster, a replacement operation of the feeder 4 by an operator occurs, which increases the number of operation steps and increases the work load on the operator.
Therefore, in the present embodiment, a new production program is added with the existing cluster feeder arrangement prioritized, taking into account the workload of the operator during the reloading operation of the feeders 4. This allows the feeder 4 used in the new production process to be added to the feeder holder 24 without significantly affecting the conventional feeder arrangement. In the present embodiment, the host computer 3 is exemplified as the distribution device, but the distribution device may be configured by, for example, a control unit of the installation device or another external device as long as the distribution device can distribute the feeders used in the production program.
Next, a detailed configuration of the host computer will be described with reference to fig. 3. Fig. 3 is a block diagram of a host computer according to the present embodiment. The block diagram of the host computer shown in fig. 3 is simplified for explaining the present invention, and it is assumed that a configuration normally provided for the host computer is provided.
As shown in fig. 3, the host computer 3 determines a feeder arrangement for the feeder pockets 24 of the mounting device 2 in accordance with a plurality of production programs, and the host computer 3 includes a registration unit 31, a merge unit 32, a distribution unit 33, a search unit 34, a determination unit 35, a notification unit 36, and a storage unit 37. The registration unit 31 registers a plurality of different production programs for each type of substrate W in the reservation file F of the storage unit 37. In this case, the reservation file F is generated by a dedicated application program, and a plurality of production programs are registered in the reservation file F by the registration unit 31 in accordance with an input from an operator. Thus, the installation process based on the plurality of production programs is reserved in the reservation file F.
The merging unit 32 merges a plurality of production programs registered in the reservation file F into a cluster. In this case, if a predetermined number of production programs are registered in the reservation file F, clustering is performed so that these production programs constitute 1 program. The cluster is set so that the mounting device 2 can execute a plurality of production processes without changing the arrangement or replacing the feeders 4 even if the kind of the substrate W is changed. In the reservation file F, a plurality of production programs registered by the registration section 31 are reserved in a clustered state. In this way, the storage unit 37 stores a reservation file F including a cluster obtained by merging a plurality of different production programs for each type of substrate W.
The distribution section 33 distributes the feeders 4 used in the plurality of production processes to the feeder pockets 24 for each cluster of the reservation file F. The allocation of the feeders 4 is determined in consideration of the line beat for the production program of the existing cluster of the reservation file F. In addition, for a new production program added to an existing cluster of the reservation file F due to a change in the production plan or the like, the allocation of the feeders 4 is determined by giving priority to feeder placement of the existing cluster over the line tact. The details of the distribution method of the feeders 4 used in the new production process will be described later.
When a new production program is added to the reservation file F, the search unit 34 searches for an existing cluster using the same feeder 4 as the new production program in the reservation file F. Thus, since the feeders 4 used in the existing clusters are also used in the new production program, the increase of the feeders 4 due to the addition of the new production program is suppressed to the minimum. When the same feeders 4 as the new production program are searched for from among a plurality of existing clusters, a cluster having a large number of common feeders is selected, and if the same number of common feeders is used, the new program is added to the existing clusters having a high line beat.
The determination unit 35 determines whether or not the feeder 4 used in the new production program can be allocated to the feeder container 24 in which the existing cluster feeder searched by the search unit 34 is set. When the determination unit 35 determines that the feeder 4 to which a new production program can be allocated is available, the new production program is added to the existing cluster. When the determination unit 35 determines that the feeder 4 of the new production program cannot be allocated, a new cluster for the new production program is generated in the reservation file F, and the new production program is added to the new cluster.
When a new cluster is generated, the feeder arrangement of the existing cluster and the new cluster may be reallocated so as to minimize the change of the feeder arrangement of the existing cluster. In this case, the allocation unit 33 partially changes the feeder arrangement of the existing cluster to create a space in the feeder holder 24, and allocates the feeder 4 of the new production program to the space in the feeder holder 24. In order to minimize the change of the feeder arrangement of the existing cluster, the work load of the operator is considered, and the change is suppressed so as not to cause a large reloading work.
The notification unit 36 notifies the installation apparatus 2 of the production program and the allocation information of the feeders 4. The registration unit 31, the merge unit 32, the assignment unit 33, the search unit 34, the determination unit 35, the notification unit 36, and the storage unit 37 of the host computer 3 are configured by a processor, a memory, and the like that execute various processes of the respective units. The memory is configured by one or more storage media such as rom (read Only memory), ram (random access memory), and the like, depending on the application. The memory stores a program or the like for causing the host computer 3 to execute an assignment process described later, in addition to the production program registered in the reservation file F.
Referring to fig. 4 to 7, a method of distributing the feeders to the feeder pockets will be described. Fig. 4 is a diagram showing an example of the distribution state of feeders according to the present embodiment. Fig. 5 to 7 are diagrams showing an example of the feeder allocation method according to the present embodiment. Further, it is assumed that each cluster of the reservation file shown in fig. 4 to 7 has been optimized.
As shown in fig. 4, a plurality of production programs are registered for each cluster in the reservation file F. There are 5 production programs a-e registered in cluster 1 and 3 production programs f-h registered in cluster 2. In the feeder container 24 at this time, 1 slot is left at each end of the feeder container 24 in the cluster 1, and the feeders 4B, 4C, 4D, 4E, and 4A are set in this order from the left. In the cluster 2, the feeders 4F, 4C, 4D, and 4G are set in order from the left, with 1 slot left in the illustrated left end of the feeder holder 24. It is intended to add new production programs x and y to the reservation file F.
As shown in fig. 5, when a new production program x is added to the reservation file F, clusters 1 and 2 including any of the feeders 4B, 4D and 4F used in the new production program x are searched. Then, it is determined whether all of the feeders 4B, 4D, 4F can be allocated to the clusters 1, 2. In the cluster 1, the feeders 4B, 4D are used, and a vacant slot for the feeder 4F is left in the feeder holder 24. In the cluster 2, the feeders 4F, 4D are used, and a vacant slot for the feeder 4B is left in the feeder holder 24.
Therefore, a new production program x can be added to both clusters 1 and 2. In this case, a new production program x is added to the cluster 1 having the highest tact. The tact is obtained by simulation of the mounting process in the mounting apparatus 2. This allows the feeders 4B, 4D, 4F used in the new production program x to be allocated to the feeder pockets 24 without changing the feeder arrangement of the existing cluster. This makes it possible to mount the feeder 4F only in the feeder holder 24, thereby reducing the work load on the operator.
As shown in fig. 6, when a new production program y is added to the reservation file F, a cluster 1 including any one of the feeders 4E, 4H, and 4I used in the new production program y is searched for. Then, it is determined whether all the feeders 4E, 4H, 4I can be allocated to the cluster 1. In cluster 1, feeder 4E is used, but there are insufficient empty slots for feeders 4H, 4I. Therefore, a new cluster is created after the clusters 1 and 2 in the reservation file F, and a new production program y is added to the new cluster.
This allows the feeders 4E, 4H, 4I used in the new production program y to be allocated to the feeder pockets 24 without changing the allocation of the feeders 4 of the existing clusters 1, 2. The new cluster production program y is executed after the existing cluster 1, 2 production program is completed. In this case, when a spare replacement carriage is provided, the spare replacement carriage may be used for a new cluster. By mounting the feeders 4E, 4H, 4I in advance in the feeder holders 24 of the spare replacement carriage, the entire feeder holder 24 can be replaced by merely replacing the replacement carriage used in the existing cluster 2 with the spare replacement carriage. Thus, only the replacement carriage needs to be replaced, and the work load of the operator can be reduced.
As shown in fig. 7, when adding new production programs x and y to the reservation file F, the feeder arrangement of the existing clusters 1 and 2 may be partially changed, and new production programs x and y may be added to the existing clusters 1 and 2. In this case, as described above, the new production program x is added to the existing cluster 1, and the feeder 4F is allocated to the slot at the left end of the feeder holder 24. Then, the feeder 4 for the cluster 2 and the new cluster is allocated without changing the feeder arrangement for the cluster 1. At this time, the feeder configuration of the subsequent cluster is determined so as to inherit the feeder configuration of the previous cluster as much as possible.
In this case, a plurality of allocation patterns are generated for cluster 2 and a new cluster based on the feeder arrangement of cluster 1. Of the plurality of distribution patterns, the distribution pattern with the smallest number of replacement times of the feeder 4 is set in the cluster 2 and the new cluster. By slightly changing the existing feeder arrangement, the feeders 4E, 4H, 4I used in the new production program y can be allocated to the feeder pockets 24. This can minimize the replacement work of the feeder 4 with respect to the feeder holder 24, thereby reducing the work load on the operator.
A method of allocating feeders when a new production program is added to a reservation file will be described with reference to fig. 8. Fig. 8 is an example of a flowchart of the feeder allocation method according to the present embodiment. The following method of adding a new production program is an example, and some of the processes can be changed or omitted as appropriate.
As shown in fig. 8, if a new program is registered in the reservation file, an existing cluster using the same feeder 4 (see fig. 1) as the new production program is searched (step S01). Then, it is determined whether or not all the feeders 4 used in the new program can be allocated to the feeder receiver 24 (see fig. 1) in which the feeder arrangement of the existing cluster is set (step S02). In this case, whether or not the allocation is possible is determined based on the empty space of the feeder receiver 24 in the existing cluster and the feeders 4 used in each production program of the existing cluster.
If the feeders 4 of the new production program can be allocated to the existing clusters (Yes at step S02), it is determined whether there are a plurality of allocable existing clusters (step S03). When there are a plurality of assignable existing clusters (Yes at step S03), a new production program is added to the cluster having the line beat increased from among the plurality of existing clusters (step S04). Then, the feeder 4 used in the new production process is allocated to the feeder receiver 24 of the existing cluster without changing the feeder arrangement of the existing cluster (step S05).
If there are only 1 assignable existing cluster (No at step S03), a new production program is added to the existing cluster (step S06). Then, the feeder 4 used in the new production process is allocated to the feeder receiver 24 of the existing cluster without changing the feeder arrangement of the existing cluster (step S07). On the other hand, in step S02, if the feeder 4 of the new production program cannot be assigned to an existing cluster (No in step S02), a new cluster is generated and used for the new production program (step S08).
If a new cluster is generated, a new production program is added to the new cluster (step S09). Then, the feeder 4 used in the new production process is allocated to the feeder receiver 24 of the new cluster without changing the feeder configuration of the existing cluster (step S10). Then, it is determined whether or not the feeder arrangement of the cluster of the reservation file F (see fig. 2) is optimized again (step S11). In the case where the feeder configuration is No longer sub-optimal (No at step S11), the process ends. When the re-optimization of the feeder arrangement is performed (Yes at step S11), the feeder arrangements of the existing cluster and the new cluster are reallocated so that the change of the feeder arrangement of the existing cluster is minimized (step S12).
As described above, the host computer 3 according to the present embodiment prioritizes the feeder arrangement of the existing clusters even if a new production program is added to the existing clusters of the reservation file F. This allows the feeders 4 used in a new production process to be allocated to the feeder pockets 24 without significantly changing the feeder arrangement with respect to the current feeder pocket 24. The replacement work of the feeder 4 can be suppressed to the minimum, and the work load of the operator can be reduced. As described above, the feeders 4 can be allocated to the feeder pockets 24 in consideration of the workload of the operator.
The present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and can be implemented with various modifications. The above-described embodiment is not limited to the size, shape, and the like illustrated in the drawings, and can be modified as appropriate within the range in which the effects of the present invention are exhibited. The present invention can be implemented with appropriate modifications without departing from the scope of the object of the present invention.
For example, in the present embodiment, the search unit 34 may be configured to search for a cluster using at least 1 feeder 4 identical to the new production program. For example, a cluster using 3 or more feeders 4 identical to the new production program may be searched, or a cluster using only 1 feeder 4 identical to the new production program may be searched.
In the present embodiment, the determination unit 35 is configured to determine whether or not the feeders 4 used in the new production program can be allocated based on the vacant positions of the feeder holders 24 in the existing clusters, but the configuration is not limited thereto. The determination unit 35 may determine whether or not the feeders 4 can be allocated, in consideration of other conditions such as the specification of the feeders 4, regardless of the vacancy of the feeder holder 24.
In the present embodiment, the plurality of allocation patterns are configured to be generated when the feeder arrangement is re-optimized in the existing cluster and the new cluster, but the present invention is not limited to this configuration. For example, the host computer 3 may be provided with a learning unit, and the learning unit may learn the allocation of the feeders 4 to optimize the feeder arrangement.
In the present embodiment, the host computer 3 includes the search unit 34 that searches for clusters and the determination unit 35 that determines whether or not the feeders 4 can be allocated. The host computer 3 may not include the search unit 34 and the determination unit 35.
In the present embodiment, the substrate W is not limited to a printed circuit board, and may be a flexible substrate mounted on a tool substrate.

generating a cluster in which a plurality of different production programs for each type of substrate are merged for a reservation file; and
a step of allocating feeders used in the plurality of production processes to the feeder pockets for each of the clusters,
in the step of allocating the feeders to the feeder pockets, when a new production program is added to the reservation file, the feeders used in the new production program are allocated to the feeder pockets with priority given to the placement of the feeders in the existing clusters,
the allocation method further includes: a step of determining whether or not the feeders used in the new production program can be allocated to the feeder receiver in which the feeders of the existing cluster are set,
in the determining step, when it is determined that the feeder used in the new production program cannot be allocated, a new cluster is generated in the reservation file and used for the new production program, and the new production program is added to the new cluster,
in the step of allocating the feeders to the feeder pockets, the feeder arrangements of the existing clusters and the new clusters are reallocated so as to minimize a change in the feeder arrangement of the existing clusters.
