Description

  The present invention relates to a service supply apparatus and a service supply method for supplying a service necessary for mounting production from a service person side to a user side who mounts and produces using a component mounting machine, a cream solder printing machine or an adhesive application machine. is there. The present invention also relates to a service supply program and a recording medium for operating the service supply apparatus.

  Many electronic devices have been reduced in size and weight, and circuit boards constituting the electronic devices have been highly integrated and densely packaged. Components are mounted on such a circuit board by a component mounting line in which component mounting machines are connected in the order of processes.

  The component mounting line is one type of production line that automatically mounts components on a circuit board. As an example, a board supply device that supplies circuit boards one by one, cream solder printing that prints cream solder on the circuit board Machine, cream solder printing inspection machine that inspects the state of printed cream solder, adhesive application machine that applies adhesive to bond parts to the board, high-speed mounting machine that mounts parts on the circuit board at high speed, irregular shape Multi-function mounting machine that mounts various types of components, including components, on circuit boards, mounting component inspection machines that check for missing or misplaced parts on circuit boards after mounting components, and components that melt cream solder A reflow device that solders the electrodes of the circuit board to the lands on the circuit board, an appearance inspection machine that inspects the soldering state and the mounting state of the components by appearance, and a substrate storage device that stores the mounted circuit board. Consists, the plurality of types of devices are connected in series form, the circuit board is mounted produced by sequentially going through these devices one by one.

  In a component mounter manufacturer that provides such a component mounter and a component mount line, delivery destinations of the component mounter and the component mount line have been expanded not only in Japan but globally. Among them, the status of conventional services at the time of delivery to the supplier of the component mounting machine and during running after delivery was as follows.

  When the component mounting machine and the component mounting line are delivered to the delivery destination, installation work of the component mounting line and adjustment work for starting up the component mounting line are performed by dispatching workers from the component mounting machine manufacturer. At that time, an instruction manual for the component mounter is delivered, and the component mounter operator at the customer's factory provides explanation and operation training for the component mounter by an instructor dispatched by the component mounter manufacturer. Is called.

  After a delivery, when a trouble of a component mounting machine or a quality defect occurs during production on a component mounting line, an operator who has received an operation explanation and training at the delivery factory analyzes the cause, Try to eliminate quality defects. However, if troubles and quality failures are still not resolved, a request is made to dispatch a service person to the component mounter manufacturer, and a service person is requested to analyze the cause to resolve the troubles and quality defects.

Although it was the state of the conventional service in the component mounting line as described above, recently, with the diversification of circuit boards and mounting components and the higher functionality of the corresponding component mounting machines, the operation of the component mounting machines has been It has become quite complex. For this reason, trouble stops and quality failures due to operational mistakes of operators who operate the component mounting machines are increasing.

  Moreover, the level of the operator of the component mounter delivery destination varies. In particular, from a global perspective, the level of operators to which component mounters are delivered varies greatly from region to region. Accordingly, the quality of component mounting production varies depending on the level of the operator of the component mounting machine delivery destination, and it has become difficult to ensure uniform quality in all the factories of the delivery destination.

  In particular, it is difficult for an operator at a delivery destination to learn how to mount a component depending on the type of circuit board or mounted component. Operation explanations and training for operators at the time of delivery of component mounters are usually for operations on circuit boards for specific tests, and under what conditions the components are mounted depending on the type of circuit board and mounted components. It is not covered until learning. Therefore, it takes a considerable amount of time for the delivery destination operator to acquire such know-how.

  For example, an operator who operates a component mounter needs to create NC data necessary for the component mounter to perform an operation of mounting a component. However, as shown in FIG. , You need to research and enter a lot of information. Even so, by using a system that automatically generates NC data from the parts database, there is no need to investigate or input parts once used and registered in the parts database. However, trial and error may occur. Furthermore, it is said that there are over 100,000 types of mounting parts used in the mounting industry, and it is difficult to reduce the number of newly mounted parts at the mounting site where various types of parts are mounted. is there. In creating such NC data, if there is an error in the input contents, it will lead to troubles and poor quality of the component mounter. Further, since the work load for creating NC data is enormous, there is a possibility that an input error will occur.

  In addition, in the teaching of component recognition data, the setting of squeegee operation conditions in screen printing, the setting of the heating temperature profile in the reflow device, and the like, the work load is similarly high, and there is a high possibility that an input error will occur.

  In addition, when a trouble of a component mounter or a quality defect occurs due to an operator's operation error, timely support is unlikely to be received in a conventional service situation. In many cases, a service person is dispatched from a component mounter manufacturer, and as a result of cause analysis, it is often found that the operation error is the first time. Depending on the content, the cause may not be known unless a service person sticks for several days to grasp the phenomenon. As a result, it takes several days to restore the component mounting line, resulting in a great production loss or quality loss.

  In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a production line including a component mounting line in a factory in each region of a customer company that is developing globally, particularly a cream solder printing machine and an adhesive application machine. In order to keep the quality and productivity constant in the equipped production line, the state of each equipment, uniformity of construction method, NC data identity, recognition data identity, maintenance inspection and repair parts identity, etc. are realized. An object of the present invention is to provide a service supply device, a service supply method, a service supply program, and a recording medium.

  In order to solve the above-described problems, the present invention provides a component mounter or a component mounter comprising: a component supply device that supplies a component; and a component holding unit that holds the component from the component supply device and mounts the component on a circuit board. A user who mounts and produces using the component mounter or the component mounting line from a service supply device provided on the supplier or service provider side of the component mounting line including A service supply method for supplying a component library including component dimensions necessary for mounting production to a service receiving device provided on the side, wherein the service supply device has a proven record of producing good products on the user side. Certain mounting component data is accumulated and organized in the mounting component database for each component type, and the service supply device can store the mounting component data. It is characterized in subjecting the drawer of the component library by the service receiving device for database.

It is possible to supply a service for retrieving a mounted component database provided on the service provider side in which a certain mounted component data is accumulated and organized for each type of component. As a result, it is possible to supply services related to component mounting for which know-how has been accumulated, and to realize high-efficiency and high-quality mounting production.

  In order to solve the above problems, the present invention also provides a cream solder printing machine that prints cream solder on a circuit board to mount a component or an adhesive application that applies an adhesive to a circuit board to mount a component. From a service supply device provided on the machine supplier or service provider side, via a communication means such as the Internet, provided on the user side to mount and produce using the cream solder printer or adhesive applicator A service supply method for supplying mounting method data necessary for mounting production including cream solder information or adhesive information to a service receiving device. The above mounting method data is stored and organized in the mounting method database for each component, cream solder, adhesive, or circuit board type. Place the service supply apparatus is characterized by subjecting the drawer of the mounting technique data by the service receiving device to said mounting technique database.

According to the present invention, with the above-described configuration, a user who has a track record of producing non-defective products can be provided to a user in any region of the world via a communication means such as the Internet to a service receiving device provided on the user side. A certain mounting method data is accumulated and systematized for each type of component, cream solder, adhesive, or circuit board, so that a service can be provided for drawing out a mounting method database provided on the service side. In this way, regardless of the level of operation learning of the operator of the cream solder printing machine or adhesive application machine in each region, under what conditions the component is mounted depending on the type of circuit board, mounting component, cream solder, adhesive, We can supply services that have accumulated that know-how, and can achieve uniform, high-efficiency, high-quality mounting production throughout the world.

  In the above-mentioned invention, the service person providing the cream solder printing machine service and the Internet via the transmission / reception unit allow the service person to receive a service for searching for information related to the characteristics or printing conditions of the various cream solders. If it is, the user can efficiently search for the desired characteristics of cream solder by manufacturer and product number according to the specified search logic and reflect it in cream solder printing. .

  In the above invention, the service conditions are selected and used for cream solder printing on the cream solder printing machine, and the service conditions are notified to the service provider via the Internet via the transmission / reception unit so that the service can be received. If it is, it is preferable.

  In the above invention, the cream solder characteristic information and the information received from the service receiving device, the user side, or the printing condition, state or situation selected and used by the component mounting line supplier or service side are stored. It is preferable to register the result information or / and the information that has been optimized by performing at least one of monitoring, evaluation, countermeasure, and improvement on the stored information as data to be used for withdrawal by the service receiving device.

  According to the above configuration, there have been so many parameters in the cream solder printing conditions, and it has been difficult for the user or the user side to select the optimum conditions and to realize it.

If the search is not completed by this, it is preferable to execute a search in which the granularity or viscosity is the first rank, the product number is the second rank, and other items are in the lower rank. In this way, by utilizing the fact that the printing conditions are almost determined by the solder product number or the particle size and viscosity, the product number can be searched for cream solder having the desired characteristics by giving the highest priority to each characteristic item connected to it. On the other hand, when the product number is unknown or when the desired solder manufacturer and solder product number cannot be searched, the product number can be searched with high accuracy by the particle size or viscosity. Of course, if the number of hits is large, other items can be specified and narrowed down in the necessary order.

  Hereinafter, several embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings, in order to understand the present invention. The embodiment described below merely shows a typical example in the case of a component mounting machine for manufacturing an electronic circuit board by mounting an electronic component on a circuit board such as a printed circuit board. It does not limit the description of the invention in scope.

  The first embodiment of the present invention will be described below.

In the present embodiment, a component mounting line 100 as shown in FIG.
2 is related to a service system for a component mounting system 120 including a management apparatus 101 that transmits and receives information to and from the component mounting line 100. FIG. 2 shows an overall system of the service system 380 according to the present embodiment. The configuration is shown. This service system 380 connects each factory of the mounting machine delivery destination having the component mounting system 120 to the service receiving device 1 of the receiving company via the network 3, and supplies the service of this service receiving device 1 and the component mounting machine supplier. An example when the apparatus 2 is connected to the network 60 is shown.

In FIG. 2, the service supply apparatus 2 has a service information database 26 (hereinafter referred to as service information DB). Further, the service receiving device 1 in the delivery destination company takes in the service information from the service supply device 2 in the component mounter supplier via the network 60, and the factory A under the delivery company by the fetched service information. , B, C, etc., the service is provided via the management apparatus 101 to the component mounting lines 100a, 100b, 100c of each factory.

  Here, the network 60 may be any communication means capable of communication including the Internet, for example. However, since the Internet is preferable because information can be transmitted and received at high speed, the Internet is used in this embodiment. The network 3 may be the same communication means, but in this embodiment, it is an intranet that connects global bases in the company. Further, the factories A, B, and C of the delivery destination company are assumed to be located at global bases, but the present invention is not limited to this, and all of them may be domestic.

  Further, the service supply device 2 may be installed in a service maker that provides a service for a component mounter other than the component mounter supplier.

  As a result, the same service can be supplied to the user in any region of the world via the network 60 to the service receiving device 1 provided on the user side. In this way, regardless of the level of operation learning of the component mounter operator in each region, supply the service that accumulates know-how on the conditions under which components are mounted depending on the type of circuit board and mounted components. It is possible to achieve high-efficiency, high-quality mounting production throughout the world. In addition, since the service can be pulled out proactively from the user side, the service can be pulled out at any time required by the user, and for each user to maintain the efficiency and quality of mounting production. No damage from delayed response.

  The disclosure of the service that the service receiving apparatus 1 draws from the service supply apparatus 2 varies depending on the level at which the delivery company contracts with the component mounter supply manufacturer. If the contract level is low, only the latest manual information and repair parts inventory information can be disclosed and pulled out, but as the contract level goes up, the virtual scope and the mounted parts information where the disclosure scope trains via the network , With the mounting order optimization software, will spread gradually. Thereby, it is possible to supply an appropriate service that matches the level of the user. In addition, the service supplied for each user can be easily managed, and the service is not pulled out unnecessarily by a non-contracted user.

The contract level is preferably determined according to the level of the operator of the component mounting machine or the difficulty of the mounting method used for production in the factory, and further according to the request of the delivery destination. Thereby, an appropriate contract level can be easily determined from various viewpoints. Further, it becomes possible for the service receiving apparatus 1 and the operator to interactively exchange, or for the service receiving apparatus 1 or the service supplying apparatus 2 to automatically determine and determine an appropriate contract level.

  The delivery destination user is charged based on this contract level. Billing is performed periodically, for example, on a monthly basis. Accordingly, charging is performed periodically, for example, on a monthly basis according to the level of service contract, without charging each time the service is supplied, so that the charging process can be simplified for both the user and the manufacturer. In addition, for the user, there is no problem that an unnecessary service is selected and charged by mistake.

  When the contract level becomes high, the service supply device 2 of the component mounting machine supplier maker monitors the quality and operation status of the component mounting line 100 via the network 60, and measures are taken when an abnormality occurs during monitoring. A service for providing feedback for the component mounting line 100 is also possible.

  In order to perform the above monitoring service, as shown in FIG. 1, in the component mounting line 100 in which the individual component mounters 105 to 111 are connected, the operation rate of each of the component mounters 105 to 111 via the network 102. , Equipment information such as stop time, product type switching time, etc., mounting tact information that is the time for mounting on a single circuit board, tact information such as tact loss, and quality information such as the presence or absence of quality defects, content of defects, etc. are collected in the management device 101 To do. In FIG. 2, a network 3 connects the management devices 101a to 101c of the factories A to C of the component mounting machine delivery destinations having the component mounting lines 100a to 100c shown in FIG. 1 and the service receiving device 1 of the component mounting machine delivery destination company. Connected with. The facility information, tact information, and quality information collected by the management apparatuses 101a to 101c are collected by the service receiving apparatus 1 and further sent to the service supply apparatus 2 of the component mounter supply manufacturer via the network 60. These facility information, tact information, and quality information are converted into a data structure that can be easily analyzed for operation, and are stored in an operation quality information database 51 (hereinafter referred to as an operation quality information DB) provided in the service supply apparatus 2.

  The service supply device 2 monitors whether the operation rate, the mounting tact, and the defect rate have reached the target, and if not, the factor analysis is performed. As a result of the factor analysis, if a factor not reaching the target is found, a service for eliminating the factor is provided to the service receiving apparatus 1. The service receiving device 1 feeds back the provided service to the component mounting lines 100a to 100c via the management devices 101a to 101c of each factory.

  As a result, when a trouble such as a component mounter stoppage or quality failure occurs at the user's mounting factory, the user can always draw out the supply of services to analyze the trouble and give a solution. Can reduce production efficiency and quality down to a minimum. Therefore, as in the past, for example, a service person was dispatched from the manufacturer to analyze the trouble caused by an operation error, and the analysis was stuck for several days. It will be improved.

  In addition, the user can always draw out a service for monitoring the production status and analyzing it if there is a problem. As a result, if there is a sign before a trouble occurs, it can be detected and the occurrence of the trouble can be prevented in advance, so that stable high efficiency and high quality production can be continued.

  In this embodiment, the network 102 is a LAN (Local Aria Network) that exchanges information wirelessly (hereinafter referred to as a wireless LAN), but is not limited to this. However, with a wireless LAN, even if the layout of each component mounter 151 on the component mounting line changes, it can be flexibly handled without changing the cable wiring of the network 102. As a result, it is possible to construct a new mounting line that includes a new component mounting machine 151 that can realize higher tact and higher quality production without being concerned about cable wiring changes due to layout changes. Can be promoted. In addition, the service information extracted can be transmitted not only to the component mounter 151 but also to a portable terminal such as a mobile phone or PHS carried by the operator of the component mounter 151. The operator can be directly reflected in the production of the received service.

  With the above configuration, according to the contract level desired by the delivery destination, the service supply device 2 can provide the necessary service to the delivery destination factory. Depending on the contract level, the service supply device 2 allows the operation and quality of each mounting factory to be improved. The situation can be simultaneously monitored and analyzed in real time. Then, it is possible to provide a service for finding a factor that causes a decrease in operation and quality status and eliminating the factor in real time. Therefore, the operation and quality status of all mounting factories deployed globally can be managed by the same method, and high uniform quality and production status can be maintained.

In the above description, the case where each mounting machine delivery factory and the mounting machine supplier are connected via the Internet 3 has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this. The service supply device 2 may be provided in a specific factory among the factories that perform mounting production, and the service may be provided to other factories via a network such as the Internet. In addition, one management apparatus 101 is provided in one component mounting line 100. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and one management apparatus 101 may be provided in a plurality of component mounting lines 100. Further, one management apparatus 101 may be provided for only one component mounter.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 3, each component mounter has the service receiving device 1 as an internal function in the control unit 201, and the service supply device 2 via the network 60 from the component mounter itself. You may receive the service from according to the contract level.

  In the above description, the component mounting line 100 including the component mounter 151 has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this. It may be a single production facility that processes or assembles a product other than component mounting, or a production line that connects the production facilities.

Shall be included.

Similarly, “mounting” means that the chip component is surface-mounted on the circuit board including the case where metal bonding is performed by diffusion or melting by friction using ultrasonic waves between the electrode lands. It is defined as being included in “mounting” that is mounted on a circuit board to form a circuit, and the idiom including “mounting” as well as “mounting” used later in the present embodiment, unless otherwise specified. The above-mentioned chip parts are meant to be surface-mounted. On the other hand, “mounting” is not limited to “mounting” even for the idiom including “mounting”, and unless otherwise specified, “insertion”, “solder printing”, “adhesive” The term “application” and “various inspections” are used in the sense of forming a circuit that is a broad concept.

  The time required for the component mounter to mount one circuit board is defined as “mounting tact”. Among them, in particular, the standard value of the mounting tact when operating without loss of tact according to the specifications of the component mounting machine is “standard mounting tact”, and the actual value of the mounting tact detected or collected from the component mounting machine Is called “implemented tact performance value”.

(1) Supply device 104
The supply device 104 stocks a plurality of circuit boards in advance. Components are not yet mounted on these circuit boards. The supply device 104 supplies the circuit boards to the cream solder printer 105 one by one.

(2) Cream solder printer 105
The cream solder printer 105 receives the circuit boards one by one from the supply device 104, prints the cream solder on the received circuit boards, and supplies the printed circuit board with the cream solder to the cream solder printing inspection machine 106. In addition, facility information relating to cream solder printing is output to the management apparatus 101 via the wireless LAN 102. Further, NC data or the like for instructing various conditions for printing by the solder paste printer 105 can be installed from the management apparatus 101 via the wireless LAN 102.

  As shown in FIGS. 4A and 4B, the cream solder printer 105 has a stage 67 on which the circuit board 10 is placed, and a shape corresponding to a land on the circuit board 10 that covers the circuit board 10. And a screen plate 66 having an opening (not shown) at a position, and a squeegee 62 a held by the squeegee head 64 on the screen plate 66. The squeegee 62a is driven by the squeegee driving unit 65 via the squeegee head 64 and moved along the screen plate 66 in the direction of the arrow in the figure. At this time, the squeegee 62a moves while pressing the cream solder 68 supplied onto the surface of the screen plate 66 against the screen plate 66, and supplies the solder onto the land of the circuit board 10 through the opening provided in the screen plate 66 for printing. The squeegee head 64 now also holds one squeegee 62b, which can be printed when moved in the opposite direction to printing with the squeegee 62a.

  Here, in order to maintain the quality in the cream solder printer 105, it is necessary to set by NC data in consideration of various conditions for cream solder printing. For example, it is necessary to select the type, temperature, and viscosity of cream solder in consideration of the circuit board material, mounting density, and the like. It is also necessary to set the moving speed of the squeegees 62a and 62b depending on the type of the circuit board 10 and the type of the cream solder 68. By appropriately selecting the above conditions, the cream solder can be satisfactorily distributed on the land of the circuit board 10 through the opening of the screen plate 66, and printing defects such as blurring and blurring of the cream solder can be prevented. Further, by controlling the speed at which the screen board 66 is separated upward from the circuit board 10 after printing, the opening of the screen board 66 and the printed cream solder 68 are well separated, and chipping of the cream solder 68 is eliminated. It is also important. If the cream solder 68 is not separated from the opening, and the solder clogging of the opening occurs cumulatively, it is necessary to perform cleaning so as to eliminate the solder clogging.

  Further, the mounting tact in the cream solder printing machine 105 is determined by the loading / unloading time (loading time) of the circuit board 10, the mounting / dismounting time of the screen board 66 on the circuit board 10, the moving speed of the squeegees 62a and 62b, and the like. .

(3) Cream solder printing inspection machine 106
The cream solder printing inspection machine 106 receives the circuit boards 10 one by one from the cream solder printing machine 105, inspects the state of the cream solder 68 printed on the received circuit board 10, and determines the circuit board 10 that has been inspected.

In addition, facility information relating to cream solder printing inspection, information on inspection results, and the like are output to the management apparatus 101 via the wireless LAN 102. Further, the cream solder printing inspection machine 106 can install NC data or the like for instructing inspection data for inspection from the management apparatus 101 via the wireless LAN 102. The inspection data includes a land position where the cream solder 68 is printed, an inspection OK / NG threshold value, and the like.

  Here, the cream solder printing inspection machine 106 images the circuit board on which the cream solder 68 is printed, processes the obtained image, and determines whether the cream solder 68 has been printed normally. If it is determined that the printing is defective, it outputs what kind of defect is occurring at which location on the substrate. Examples of defective contents include a printing position shift of the cream solder 68, fading of the cream solder 68, blurring and overflow. Further, the location on the substrate is specified by, for example, a circuit number assigned to each component to be mounted and an electrode number assigned to each electrode of each mounted component.

The circuit board 10 is supplied to the high-speed placement machine 108a. Also, facility information relating to the application of the adhesive is output to the management apparatus 101 via the wireless LAN 102. In addition, NC data or the like indicating the position where the adhesive applicator 107 applies the adhesive and various conditions for applying the adhesive can be installed from the management apparatus 101 via the wireless LAN 102.

  Here, the adhesive applicator 107 includes a syringe that stores the adhesive, an application nozzle connected to the syringe that applies the adhesive extruded from the syringe with air pressure, and a circuit board application position below the application nozzle. And an XY table.

  In such an adhesive applicator 107, in order to maintain the quality, it is necessary to set the NC data in consideration of various conditions for applying the adhesive. For example, it is important to apply an appropriate amount of adhesive for adhering parts without stringing by appropriately controlling the type of adhesive, temperature, viscosity, application pressure, application time, etc. is there. In addition, it is necessary to prevent nozzle clogging by controlling the above conditions.

  The mounting tact in the adhesive applicator 107 is the time required to apply the adhesive to one circuit board, and the circuit board 10 loading and unloading time (loading time) and the mounting of each component. It is determined by the application time for all application points of the adhesive corresponding to the position. In this case, the mounting tact is limited to application of the adhesive and is also referred to as “application tact”, and the standard mounting tact is limited to application of the adhesive and is also referred to as “standard application tact”. Further, the mounting tact actual value is limited to the application of the adhesive and is also referred to as “application tact actual value”.

Further, when the coating tact (or the coating tact actual value) exceeds the standard coating tact, the excess of the tact is called “tact loss”. As a breakdown of the tact loss, for example, there is a movement loss of the XY table 9. Also, the standard application tact per application point is “one point per standard application tact”, the application tact per application point is “one point per application tact”, and the tact loss per application point is “one point per tact loss”. Call.

(5) High speed mounting machine 108a
The high-speed mounting machine 108a receives the circuit boards 10 one by one from the adhesive applicator 107, mounts components on the received circuit board 10 at a high speed, and attaches the circuit boards 10 on which the components are mounted to the multi-function mounting machine 108b. To supply. In addition, facility information related to component mounting is output to the management apparatus 101 via the wireless LAN 102. In addition, NC data or the like for instructing a position for mounting a component and various conditions for mounting the component can be installed from the management apparatus 101 via the wireless LAN 102.

  In the component mounting line 100, the high-speed mounting machine 108a and the multi-function mounting machine 108b are each a type of mounting machine that mounts components on the circuit board 10, and common parts are denoted by the same reference numerals and overlapped. Is omitted. The high-speed mounting machine 108a is mainly intended for mounting small chip components on the circuit board 10 at high speed, and the multi-function mounting machine 108b is designed to mount many types of chip parts including irregular shaped parts on the circuit board 10. It is intended to be mounted, and is common in that components are mounted on the circuit board 10.

  As shown in FIG. 5A, the high-speed placement machine 108a is equipped with a component supply unit 11 on which a component supply device 5 for supplying components is mounted on a plurality of moving tables 6, and a circuit board 10, and is moved and positioned in the XY directions. Then, an XY table 9 for mounting components, a rotary table 8 that rotates intermittently, and a component suction nozzle 7 arranged at a constant pitch on the outer periphery of the rotary table 8 are used to position components supplied from the component supply unit 11. The mounting head 4 is mounted on a predetermined position on the circuit board 10. Although the component supply device 5 is not shown in detail in the drawing, for supplying the components, a component storage tape in which a plurality of components of the same type are stored at a constant pitch is mounted in a reel shape, and the component storage tape is used as a component. Parts are supplied one by one by intermittent feeding in units of storage pitch. The component supply unit 11 mounts the required number of component supply devices 5 on the moving table 6 according to the type of component to be mounted. The moving table 6 moves in the direction indicated by the arrow 12 and positions the component supply device 5 that can supply the components to be mounted so as to match the component supply position. The mounting table 4 is positioned in the direction of the arrow 13 each time the component suction nozzle 7 at a position for picking up a component from the component supply device 5 positioned at the component supply position sucks the component supplied from the component supply device 5. The component suction nozzle 7 rotates intermittently in units of arrangement pitch. When the component suction nozzle 7 that sucks the component comes to a position opposite to the position where the component is sucked on the outer periphery of the rotary table 8 by the sequential intermittent rotation of the rotary table 8, the mounting position on the circuit board 10 is reached. Attach the parts. The XY table 9 positions the circuit board 10 according to the mounting position of the component mounted by the component suction nozzle 7. The component supply unit 11, the XY table 9, the mounting head 4, and the like are controlled by the control unit 201.

  Although not shown, in the intermittent rotation of the rotary table 8, the component suction nozzle 7 is at a rotation stop position in the middle of moving from the position where the component is picked up from the component supply device 5 to the position where the component is mounted on the circuit board 10. A recognition unit is provided for recognizing the picked-up component from below and detecting a pick-up position shift (shift amount in X and Y directions, rotational shift amount around the axis of the component pick-up nozzle 7). The control unit 201 corrects the rotation of the component suction nozzle 7 about its axis so as to eliminate the rotational deviation detected by the recognition unit, and eliminates the X and Y deviation detected by the recognition device. Control for correcting the positioning amount of the XY table 9 is performed.

  Note that the component supply device 5 is not limited to the tape feed type described above, and includes, for example, a tray or stick type. The tape feed type described above is also called a parts cassette or a parts feeder.

In the high-speed mounting machine 108a in the above example, the component suction nozzle 7 is mounted on the mounting head 4.
The component suction nozzle 7 holds and holds the component, but a chuck that holds the component and holds it may be used. A mounting machine other than the high-speed mounting machine 108a, for example, a multi-function mounting machine 108b to be described later, often uses a chuck that holds and holds components. In addition, most of the chucks are used in the component insertion machine. These component suction nozzles 7 and chucks that hold components from the component supply device 5 and mount them on the circuit board 10 are collectively referred to as component holding means.

  Here, in the high-speed mounting machine 108a as shown in FIG. 5A, in order to maintain the quality, it is necessary to set the NC data in consideration of various conditions for mounting the parts. For example, it is necessary to set in consideration of the mounting speed (specifically, the rotational speed of the rotary table 8 and the moving speed and acceleration of the XY table 9) depending on the type, size, weight, and the like of the parts. If an attempt is made to mount a heavy component at high speed, a suction position shift occurs due to the inertial force of the component, resulting in a problem such as a component shift position or a component drop from the component suction nozzle 7. . In addition, in order for the recognition unit to recognize the amount of suction deviation of a part, it is necessary to teach in advance recognition data that is image data of the normal part posture without suction deviation. Which recognition algorithm is used depending on the type of part It is necessary to select in advance whether to perform image processing. Further, when the component supply device 5 or the component suction nozzle 7 or the like becomes defective, a component suction error occurs and the operating rate of the mounting machine decreases, so the defective component supply device 5 or component suction nozzle 7 becomes defective. Etc. must be promptly replaced for repair.

  The mounting tact time in the high-speed mounting machine 108a is the time required to mount a component on one circuit board. The loading and unloading time (loading time) of the circuit board 10 and all components are mounted at the mounting position. It depends on the time to perform. In this case, the mounting tact is limited to component mounting and is also referred to as “mounting tact”, and the standard mounting tact is limited to component mounting and is also referred to as “standard mounting tact”. Further, the mounting tact actual value is limited to component mounting and is also referred to as “mounting tact actual value”.

  Further, when the mounting tact (or mounting tact actual value) exceeds the standard mounting tact, the excess of the tact is called “tact loss”. The breakdown of the tact loss includes, for example, a movement loss of the XY table 9 and a movement loss of the component supply unit 11. Also, the standard mounting tact per mounting point is “1 point per unit mounting tact”, the mounting tact per mounting point is “1 point per unit mounting tact”, and the tact loss per mounting point is “1 point per tact loss”. Call.

  Further, in the high-speed mounting machine 108a as shown in FIG. 5A, in order to mount a component at a high speed, which is the original purpose, that is, to mount a component with a standard mounting tact that is a tact that can be mounted as a standard. It is necessary to optimize the mounting order of the components and the position of the component supply device 5 on the moving table 6. For example, the time for which the rotary table 8 of the mounting head 4 rotates by one pitch corresponds to one point per standard mounting tact, but if the component supply device 5 is not positioned at the component supply position during the one point per standard mounting tact, 1 Parts cannot be mounted with the standard mounting tact. Further, if the XY table 9 does not position the circuit board 10 at the component mounting position during the one-point standard mounting tact, the component cannot be mounted with the one-point standard mounting tact. Regarding the positioning of each of the component supply device 5 and the XY table 9, an allowable movement range that can be moved within a single point standard mounting tact is determined. The component mounting order and the arrangement of the component supply device 5 are optimized so that both the movement of the component supply device 5 and the movement of the XY table 9 are within the allowable movement range. However, it is usually impossible to mount all the mounted components at the standard mounting tact. In this case, even if the standard mounting tact is impossible, the tact loss, which is an excess from the standard mounting tact, is optimized. The tact loss is calculated based on the amount of movement of the component supply device 5 exceeding the allowable movement range, and calculated based on the amount of movement of the XY table 9 exceeding the allowable movement range. It is theoretically calculated by calculating the larger one of the times.

  In the component mounting line 100, two mounting machines (that is, a high-speed mounting machine 108a and a multi-function mounting machine 108b) are connected in series, but more mounting machines may be connected in series. .

  Therefore, here, it is assumed that a plurality of mounting machines are connected in series in the component mounting line 100, and the nth mounting machine among the plurality of mounting machines is referred to as a mounting machine n108. Hereinafter, instead of the description of the high-speed mounting machine 108a, the mounting machine n108 will be described.

(5-1) Wearing machine n108
As shown in FIG. 6, the control system of the mounting machine n108 includes a control unit 201, a mounting control unit 202, a mounting unit 203, a storage unit 204, a recognition unit 210, a transmission / reception unit 205, an input unit 206, a screen control unit 207, and a display unit. It consists of 208.

  The mounting unit 203 corresponds to the component supply unit 11, the XY table 9, and the mounting head 4 shown in FIG. 5A in the high-speed mounting machine 108a. The transmission / reception unit 205 is used for transmission / reception with the management apparatus 101, and in this embodiment, is provided with an antenna capable of transmission / reception via the wireless LAN 102. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a network adapter connected by a cable may be used.

(A) Storage unit 204
The storage unit 204 stores facility information 211 shown in FIG. 9, NC data 220 shown in FIG. 5, and control software necessary for the control unit to control the mounting machine n108.

  As shown in FIG. 4 as an example, the facility information 211 is composed of production management information and cassette information (information relating to the component supply device 5, that is, the parts cassette). The production management information includes information such as the planned number of production, the number of production planned circuits, the number of production,..., The operation rate, the suction rate, etc., and the cassette information is a number indicating the arrangement position of the component supply device 5. ZNO. , Information on the part name, the number of remaining parts of the part supply device 5 and the like.

  Here, the production number is the number of circuit boards produced by the mounting machine n108, the operating rate is the ratio of the mounting and mounting time of components on the circuit board of the mounting machine n108 to the total operating time, and the adsorption rate is This is the ratio of the actual number of components picked up by the component suction nozzle 7 in the mounting machine n108 to the total number of suctions.

  As shown in FIG. 10, the NC data 220 includes an NC program 221, an arrangement program 231, and a part library 241.

  The NC program 221 is a program for designating the type and position of components to be mounted and the mounting order with respect to one circuit board by the mounting machine n108. Specifically, as shown in FIG. Is the part mounting order and each step No. For each, a mounting position (X, Y, W (mounting angle), circuit number), Z (arrangement number of the component supply device 5 for taking out a component), and a component name are designated.

  The array program 231 corresponds to the NC program 221, and each step number of the NC program 221. The part name and shape code set in the part supply apparatus 5 having the Z number designated in the above are designated. Note that the shape code is a code uniquely assigned to components having the same shape.

The component library 241 is composed of detailed data regarding each component, and the shape (length, width, thickness, etc.) of the component and mounting conditions (head speed, XY speed, nozzle, tool, etc.) for each shape code in the component arrangement program 231. ), Information such as recognition data (not shown in FIG. 10 but included in the component library).

  Here, the head speed is a speed at which the mounting head 4 rotates intermittently in the example of the high-speed mounting machine 108a in FIG. 5A, and can be specified according to the size of each part (for each shape code). For example, in a microchip component such as a 1005 chip component (a chip component having a length of 1 mm and a width of 0.5 mm), the mounting head 4 can be rotated at a high speed, but a large component such as an SOP component is adsorbed unless it is rotated at a low speed. Adsorption position shifts due to inertia of parts. Similarly, the XY speed is the moving speed of the XY table 9 and the nozzle is the type of the component suction nozzle 7 to be used, and can be specified for each shape code. In FIG. 5A, for the sake of simplicity, only one type of component suction nozzle 7 is arranged at each arrangement position at a constant pitch interval on the outer periphery of the rotary table 8. A plurality of component suction nozzles (for example, small, medium, large) selected according to the type of component are provided at the position.

(C) Transmission / reception unit 205
When the transmission / reception unit 205 receives a request to upload the facility information 211 or the NC data 220 from the management apparatus 101, the transmission / reception unit 205 outputs the received request to the control unit 201. In response to an instruction from the control unit 201, the facility information 211 or NC data 220 stored in the storage unit 204 is read and transmitted to the management apparatus 101.

  Further, the transmission / reception unit 205 receives NC data 220 newly created from the management apparatus 101 or uploaded once and re-optimized at a higher level, and the received NC data 220 is stored in the storage unit 204 according to an instruction from the control unit 201. Remember me.

  The transmission / reception unit 205 receives control software from the management apparatus 101 and stores the control software in the storage unit 204.

(D) Recognizing unit 210
Although not shown in FIG. 5A, the recognizing unit 210 recognizes the picked-up component with the camera from below and picks up the position of the picked-up position (deviation amount in the X and Y directions, the amount of rotational deviation about the axis of the component suction nozzle 7 ) Is detected. The control unit 201 corrects the rotation of the component suction nozzle 7 about its axis so as to eliminate the rotation deviation amount detected by the recognition unit 210, and eliminates the deviation amounts in the X and Y directions detected by the recognition unit 210. Thus, control is performed so as to correct the positioning amount of the XY table 9.

  In addition, in order to perform recognition, recognition data taught in advance (included in the NC data 220) is stored in the storage unit 204. When recognizing a part to be actually mounted, the recognition data and a previously designated recognition algorithm (included in the control software) are read from the storage unit 204 and recognized.

(E) Control unit 201
The control unit 201 controls each unit of the mounting machine, and instructs the mounting control unit 202, the transmission / reception unit 205, etc. as described above to upload the facility information 211, the NC data 220, and download the NC data 220. To control.

  Further, the control unit 201 receives an instruction command from the operator from the input unit 206, and performs processing according to the received instruction command.

  Although the configuration of the control system of the component mounting machine k is not shown, it is the same as the configuration of the control system of the mounting machine n108. For example, a control unit 201, a storage unit 204, a recognition unit 210, a transmission / reception unit 205, an input unit 206, a screen control unit 207, and a display unit 208 are provided. In addition, it corresponds to the mounting control unit 202 of the mounting machine n108, and includes an operation control unit that performs the original operation control of the component mounting machine k. For example, the operation control unit controls the operation of inserting a component into the circuit board in the case of a component insertion machine, and the operation of printing cream solder on the circuit board in the case of the cream solder printing machine 105.

  The storage unit 204 stores facility information 211 similar to that shown in FIG. 9, NC data 220 similar to that shown in FIG. 10, and control software necessary for the control unit 201 to control the component mounter k. Yes.

  The equipment information 211 is a common item in the type of component mounter k from the top to the operation rate in the production management information of FIG.

To do.

  The NC data 220 is almost common to various component mounters k for the component library 241. The NC program 221 and the array program 231 can be applied as they are in a component insertion machine. The NC program 221 can be directly applied to the adhesive applicator 107 and various inspection machines. For the cream solder printer 105 and the reflow device 110, there is an NC program 221 having a specific format for instructing a specific operation.

However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a network connected by a cable may be used.

(6) Multifunction mounting machine 108b
The multi-function mounting machine 108 b receives the circuit boards 10 one by one from the high-speed mounting machine 108 a, mounts components on the received circuit board 10, and supplies the circuit boards 10 with the components mounted to the mounting component inspection machine 109. .

  The multi-function mounting machine 108b includes a recognition unit 210 that recognizes the component 15 sucked by the component suction nozzle 7 from below with a camera and detects a suction position shift. The mounting head 4 moves onto the recognition unit 210 after sucking the component 15 from the component supply device 5 by driving the XY robot 14. Therefore, the recognition unit 210 recognizes the component 15 and detects a suction deviation. Thereafter, by driving the XY robot 14, the mounting head 4 is corrected so as to eliminate the suction deviation detected by the recognition unit 210, then moves to the mounting position, and the component 15 is mounted.

  Here, in the multi-function mounting machine as shown in FIG. 5B, in order to maintain the quality, it is necessary to consider various conditions for mounting components, such as the mounting speed of components, as with the high-speed mounting machine 108a. .

Determined. If this moving distance is within the specified range, it can be mounted with the standard mounting tact, but if it exceeds the specified range, it cannot be mounted with the standard mounting tact, and one point mounting with tact loss is included. Tact. Therefore, in the case of a multi-function mounting machine, it is an optimization point to minimize the distance between the mounting position and the position of the component supply device 5 in the component to be mounted. In addition, when a plurality of mounting heads 4 are mounted on the XY robot 14 as shown in FIG. 5B, it is also possible to reduce the tact by simultaneously or continuously sucking parts from the component supply device 5 with the plurality of mounting heads 4. It becomes a point to do. Further, although not shown, it is necessary to replace the component suction nozzle 7 in accordance with the type of component, and tact loss occurs when the component is replaced. Therefore, minimizing the number of replacements of the component suction nozzle 7 is also an optimization point.

The collection timing is determined, and the transmission / reception unit 305 is instructed to collect the facility information 211, the mounting tact information 213, the inspection result information 212, and the delivery record information 217. Then, the equipment information 211, the mounting tact information 213, and the inspection result information 212 for each component mounting machine are received from the transmission / reception unit 305, and stored in the data area 304 of the storage unit 302 for each component mounting machine k.

The mounting tact and the tact loss theoretical value obtained as a result are written in the data area 304 of the storage unit 302 to be added to the mounting tact information 213.

  Details of the theoretical calculation of the mounting tact and tact loss described above, that is, the mounting tact simulation will be described later.

  In addition, although the example which calculates | requires tact loss by tact simulation was demonstrated, it is not this limitation. The tact loss may be detected by the component mounting machine k including the mounting machine n108, and the tact loss may be collected and included in the mounting tact information 213 and stored in the data area 304 of the data storage unit 302. As an example, the tact loss detection method in the mounting machine n108 is, for example, a method of measuring the time from the start of movement of the component supply device 5 or the XY table 9 to the end of positioning, and detecting the tact loss exceeding the standard tact. Good.

As described above, when the tact loss is detected by the component mounting machine k, the tact loss becomes a completely actual value, and the accuracy of the tact loss is improved. Further, since it is not necessary to perform a tact simulation every time the mounting tact information 213 is updated in the service supply apparatus 2, the load on the service supply apparatus 2 is reduced. However, in reality, there are almost no component mounting machines k that detect tact loss, and all component mounting machines k in the component mounting line 100 detect tact loss even when a component mounting machine k that detects tact loss comes out. Therefore, it can be said that calculating tact loss by tact simulation is quite effective for system construction.

  In addition, the control unit 301 reads the NC data 220 after optimization by the NC data optimization function from the data area 304 of the data storage unit 302 and transmits / receives the read NC data 220 to the service receiving apparatus 1. Output to the unit 305.

(D) Mounting tact simulation The mounting tact simulation is a function for performing a theoretical calculation of mounting tact based on NC data 220 after optimization (or before optimization). A theoretical calculation of the mounting tact on the circuit board and a theoretical calculation of the replacement time of the component supply device 5 at the time of product type switching are performed.

  With respect to the mounting tact simulation software 375 retrieved from the service information DB 26 and stored in the program area 303 of the storage unit 302, the mounting tact simulation software 375 of the model of the corresponding component mounting machine k is activated by the control unit 301. A tact simulation is executed.

  Below, the theoretical calculation method of the mounting tact for the case of a high-speed mounting machine will be described.

  Based on the speed master 414 and the tact simulation parameter 413 stored in the data area 304 of the storage unit 302, the standard tact for each mounted part (this is a single standard tact), and the allowable movement range within the standard tact of the XY table 9 The XY table 9 obtained from the pertinent NC data 220 stored in the data area 304 of the storage unit 302 is read from the permissible movement range in the standard tact of the component supply device 5 or 1 when each component of the component supply device 5 is mounted. The theoretical value of the mounting tact is calculated based on the relative movement distance from the previous mounting position. Specifically, the calculation method will be described below. First, the standard mounting tact is calculated using (Equation 1).

(Formula 1)
Standard mounting tact = loading time
+ Σ (Standard mounting tact per component x number of components)
+ Tool Change Time × Number of Changes Here, the loading time and the tool change time are obtained by searching the name of the mounting machine from the speed master 414. Further, the standard mounting tact for each part is obtained by searching the mounting machine name and the shape code from the speed master 414. The number of parts is obtained by counting the number of steps for mounting the relevant part from the NC program 221. The number of changes is obtained by counting the number of times the component suction nozzle 7 or tool used in each mounting step is switched in the NC program 221. Also, Σ (standard mounting tact per component × number of components) calculates the sum of (standard mounting tact per component × number of components) for all types of components mounted on one circuit board. Means that. Further, the tool change time × the number of changes is applied to the multi-function mounting machine 108b and is not applied to the high-speed mounting machine 108a (the tool change time = 0 for the high-speed mounting machine 108a).

  Next, in the case of the high-speed mounting machine 108a, the XY table movement loss when mounting per point in each mounting step is calculated using (Expression 2).

(Formula 2)
If XY movement amount <= XY allowable movement range, 1 point hit XY movement loss = 0
If XY movement amount> XY allowable movement range, XY movement loss per point = (XY movement amount-XY allowable movement range) / XY speed Here, XY movement amount is mounted per point at each mounting step. Relative movement amount from the previous mounting position of the XY table 9 at the time, and the XY permissible movement range is the permissible movement range within the standard tact of the XY table 9 retrieved from the tact simulation parameter 413 at the corresponding mounting speed. . Further, the one-point XY movement loss is an XY table movement loss when mounting per point in each mounting step, and the XY speed is the XY table 9 retrieved at the corresponding mounting speed from the tact simulation parameter 413. It is the moving speed.

  Next, in the case of the high-speed mounting machine 108a, the component supply device movement loss when mounting per point in each mounting step is calculated using (Equation 3).

(Formula 3)
If Z movement amount <= Z allowable movement range, 1 point Z movement loss = 0
Z movement amount> Z permissible movement range If one point, Z movement loss = (Z movement amount-Z permissible movement range) / Z speed Here, the Z movement amount is mounted per point at each mounting step. Relative movement amount from the position in the previous mounting step of the component supply device 5 at the time, and the Z allowable movement range is within the standard tact of the component supply device 5 searched from the tact simulation parameter 413 at the corresponding mounting speed. This is the allowable movement range. Further, the one-point Z movement loss is a component supply apparatus movement loss when mounting per point in each mounting step, and the Z speed is the component supply apparatus searched at the corresponding mounting speed from the tact simulation parameter 413. The moving speed is 5.

  Next, an XY table movement loss is calculated. The XY table movement loss is calculated using (Equation 4).

(Formula 4)
XY table movement loss = Σ ((XY movement loss per point> = Z movement loss per point)
XY movement loss per point)
Here, the XY table movement loss is the total tact loss related to the movement of the XY table 9 when one circuit board is mounted. Also, Σ ((1-point XY movement loss> = 1-point XY movement loss)) is the XY table movement loss when mounting per point in each mounting step. It means the total of the XY table movement loss of the mounting step that is equal to or greater than the supply apparatus movement loss.

  Similarly, the component supply device movement loss is calculated. The component supply device movement loss is calculated using (Equation 5).

(Formula 5)
Component supply device movement loss = Σ ((1 point per Z movement loss> 1 point per XY movement loss)
1 point hit Z movement loss)
Here, the component supply device movement loss is the total tact loss related to the movement of the component supply device when one circuit board is mounted. In addition, Σ ((1 point per Z movement loss> 1 point per XY movement loss)) is the XY movement loss as the Z movement loss when mounting per point at each mounting step. It means the total of the Z movement loss of the mounting step exceeding.

  Then, from the standard mounting tact calculated in (Equation 1), the XY table movement loss calculated in (Equation 4), and the component supply device movement loss calculated in (Equation 5), the theoretical value of the mounting tact is calculated according to (Equation 6). Calculated.

(Formula 6)
Theoretical value of mounting tact = standard mounting tact + XY table movement loss + component feeder movement loss Note that the mounting tact actual value, which is the actual value obtained by mounting production using the same NC data 220, is calculated by (Equation 6). It also has a function to compare with the theoretical value of the mounted tact and check whether the difference between the two is within the error range. If it is determined that it is not within the error range, each parameter of the tact simulation parameter 413 is adjusted so as to fall within the error range.

  Further, the above (Expression 2) to (Expression 6) are used to calculate the tact loss of the high-speed mounting machine 108a and the theoretical values of the mounting tact. Although the calculation formula of the multi-function wearing machine 108b is omitted, tact loss is calculated in the same manner. In the case of the multi-function mounting machine 108b, the mounting head 4 is moved between the supply position of the component supply device 5 and the mounting position on the circuit board 10 by the XY robot 14, so this moving distance is calculated and this moving distance is calculated. When the value exceeds the allowable movement range within the standard tact, the tact loss is calculated on the basis of the movement amount of the excess. The theoretical value of the mounting tact is obtained by adding the total of all the tactros mounting steps and the standard mounting tact calculated in (Equation 1). When a plurality of components are picked up simultaneously due to the provision of a plurality of mounting heads 4, the movement distance of the mounting head 4 is calculated according to the movement operation of the simultaneous suction.

Upon receiving this request, the service supply device 2 activates the monitoring / analysis software 372 extracted from the monitoring / analysis software DB 330, and periodically installs the facility information 211, implementation on the requested service receiving device 1. The tact information 213, the NC data 220 and the inspection result information 212 are uploaded, and the cause of the trouble is analyzed. If the cause is found from the result of the analysis, a countermeasure for removing the cause is fed back to the service receiving apparatus 1.

  When the operator operates the input unit 24 and selects the “monitoring” menu on the mounting WEB screen, the service receiving device 1 uses the monitoring / analysis software 372 for the service supplying device 2 to mount the component mounting line 100 of its own factory. Require that monitoring be performed. Upon receiving this request, the service supply device 2 activates the monitoring / analysis software 372 extracted from the monitoring / analysis software DB 330, and periodically installs the facility information 211, implementation on the requested service receiving device 1. The tact information 213, the NC data 220 and the inspection result information 212 are uploaded, and the production status is monitored. If the occurrence of trouble is found from the monitoring result, or if a sign of trouble is found, the uploaded equipment information 211, mounting tact information 213, NC data 220, and inspection result information 212 are checked for the trouble or trouble. Analyze the cause of signs. If the cause is found from the result of the analysis, a countermeasure for removing the cause is fed back to the service receiving apparatus 1.

  The types of monitoring / analysis include operation analysis, tact analysis, and quality analysis.

  In the operation analysis, the operation rate of the component mounting line 100 is monitored, the cause of the decrease in the operation rate is analyzed, and feedback for removing the cause is performed. Specifically, the management apparatus 101 receives a request for uploading the equipment information 211 from the service receiving apparatus 1 and uploads the equipment information 211 aggregated by each component mounting machine k from the component mounting line 100. In response to the upload request for the facility information 211 from the service supply device 2, the service receiving device 1 uploads the facility information 211 from the management device 101. The service supply device 2 uploads the facility information 211 from the service receiving device 1. The service supply device 2 accumulates the collected facility information 211 in the facility information DB 30 of the operation quality information DB 51 in time series. The service supply device 2 looks at the transition of the operation rate from the facility information DB 30 and analyzes the cause of the decrease in the operation rate. Then, feedback for removing the cause is given to the service receiving apparatus 1. For example, if the failure of the component suction nozzle 7 is the cause, the repair parts are arranged. In the case of an operation error by the operator of the component mounting machine k, the virtual training software is transmitted to the service receiving device 1. If the component library 241 is incomplete, the optimal component library 241 is transmitted to the service receiving apparatus 1.

  In the tact analysis, the mounting tact of the component mounting line 100 is monitored, tact loss is determined, and feedback for removing tact loss is performed. Specifically, the management apparatus 101 receives the upload request for the NC data 220 from the service receiving apparatus 1 and uploads the NC data 220 of each component mounter k from the component mounting line 100. In response to the request for uploading the mounting tact information 213 and the NC data 220 from the service supplying apparatus 2, the service receiving apparatus 1 uploads the mounting tact information 213 and the NC data 220 from the management apparatus 101. The service supply device 2 uploads the mounting tact information 213 and the NC data 220 from the service receiving device 1. The service supply device 2 performs mounting tact simulation on the collected NC data 220, calculates tact loss, and accumulates the collected mounting tact information and the calculated tact loss in the mounting tact DB 32 of the operation quality information DB 51. The service supply device 2 looks at the mounting tact from the mounting tact DB 32 and analyzes the cause of the decrease in tact. Then, feedback for removing the cause is given to the service receiving apparatus 1. For example, when the cause is a movement loss of the XY table 9 of the mounting machine n108, optimization of the mounting order for removing the movement loss of the XY table 9 is performed on the collected NC data 220. When the tact balance of each mounting machine n108 is not achieved, correction of part distribution is performed on the collected NC data 220. The optimized NC data 220 is subjected to a mounting tact simulation, and after confirming that the reduction in mounting tact has been eliminated, the optimized NC data 220 is fed back to the service receiving apparatus 1. The service receiving device 1 feeds back the optimized NC data 220 to the management device 101. The management apparatus 101 feeds back the optimized NC data 220 to each mounting machine n108 in the component mounting line 100.

In the quality analysis, the inspection result of each inspection machine in the component mounting line 100 is monitored, the cause of the quality defect is analyzed, and feedback for removing the cause of the defect is performed. Specifically, the management apparatus 101 uploads the inspection result information 212 of each inspection machine from the component mounting line 100 in response to an upload request for the inspection result information 212 from the service receiving apparatus 1. In response to the upload request for the inspection result information 212 from the service supply device 2, the service receiving device 1 uploads the inspection result information 212 from the management device 101. The service supply device 2 uploads the inspection result information 212 from the service receiving device 1. The service supply device 2 accumulates the collected inspection result information 212 in the inspection result DB 34 of the operation quality information DB 51. The service supply device 2 recognizes the defect in the inspection result DB 34 and analyzes the cause while referring to the equipment information DB 30 and the uploaded NC data 220. Then, feedback for removing the cause is given to the service receiving apparatus 1. For example, if the movement speed of the XY table 9 specified in the part library 241 is erroneously increased, and the quality of the part is displaced due to inertial force, the movement speed of the XY table 9 is corrected. The part library 241 is fed back to the service receiving apparatus 1.

4 Operations of Service Receiving Apparatus 1 and Service Supplying Apparatus 2 Operations of service receiving apparatus 1 and service supplying apparatus 2 when service receiving apparatus 1 extracts a service from service supplying apparatus 2 will be described with reference to FIGS. 29 to 53.

(1-1) Step S101 (contract level: 0 setting)
In FIG. 29, in step S <b> 101, the service receiving device 1 receives an instruction from the input unit 24 by the operator, and the control unit 21 executes a service receiving program stored in the program area 27 of the storage unit 22. When the service receiving program is set up, the control unit 21 displays the mounting WEB screen shown in FIG. 11 on the display unit 25 according to the content instructed by the service receiving program, and for the service withdrawal from the display unit 25 or the input unit 24. The operation is prompted. At the same time, the control unit 21 enters a state in which the operator is prompted to input a user name from the display unit 25 or the input unit 24.

  When the user name is input, the control unit 21 transmits the input user name to the service supply device 2 via the network 60 by the service supply device side transmission / reception unit 23. In the service supply device 2, the control unit 301 registers the user name received by the transmission / reception unit 305 via the network 60 in the contract DB 320 of the service information DB 26 (at this time, a user code assigned to be unique for each user name) Also register). When the user name is registered, the control unit 301 automatically sets the contract level 0 in the contract DB 320. The fact that the user name is registered and the contract level 0 is set is transmitted from the control unit 301 to the service receiving device 1 via the network 60 by the transmission / reception unit 305. In the service receiving device 1, the control unit 21 receives the fact that the user name is registered and the contract level 0 is set via the network 60 in the service supply device side transmission / reception unit 23. A menu on the WEB screen (see FIG. 11) is displayed in a state where a service at contract level 0 can be selected. That is, in the contract level 0 state, the sales information service (step S103), the electronic manual service (step S104), and the repair parts service (step S105) can be selected in the menu (see FIG. 11) of the mounting WEB screen. it can.

  When the contract level 0 is registered, the user is charged at the contract level 0. Billing is performed periodically, for example, on a monthly basis. Accordingly, charging is performed periodically, for example, on a monthly basis according to the level of service contract, without charging each time the service is supplied, so that the charging process can be simplified for both the user and the manufacturer. In addition, for the user, there is no problem that an unnecessary service is selected and charged by mistake.

In addition, even for users who have not delivered a component mounter, in order to consider delivery of a component mounter, a service receiving program can be derived by accessing the homepage of the component mounter supplier on a personal computer connected to the Internet. You can install it on your personal computer. Therefore, by starting the service receiving program on a personal computer in which the service receiving program is installed, the personal computer can be used as the service receiving apparatus 1. In this service receiving apparatus 1, even a user who has launched a mounting WEB screen and has not delivered a component mounting machine can set contract level 0 and receive services such as a sales information service.

(1-2) Step S102 (Automatic sending / not setting)
In step S102, in the service receiving apparatus 1, the control unit 21 prompts the operator to designate whether or not the service data 215 and the service program 216 are automatically sent (see the contract DB 320 in FIG. 17) on the display unit 25. When the designation of whether or not the service data 215 and the service program 216 are automatically sent is input from the input unit 24, the control unit 21 inputs the input content by the service supply device side transmission / reception unit 23 via the network 60.

In the service supply device 2, the control unit 301 uses the transmission / reception unit 305 to register, in the contract DB 320, the service data 215 received from the service receiving device 1 via the network 60 and the specified content indicating whether or not the service program 216 is automatically sent. .

  Regarding the designation of whether or not the service data 215 and the service program 216 are automatically sent, all the service data 215 and the service program 216 are automatically sent collectively, or each service data 215, service program 216, For example, it is possible to set whether to designate sales information, instruction manuals, maintenance information, software and optimization software as targets of automatic transmission. The control unit 301 of the service supply apparatus 2 determines whether the service data 215 and the service program 216 set to be automatically sent are at the timing of the revision or version upgrade, and at the contract level where the service can be provided. The control unit 301 reads the revised or upgraded service data 215 and service program 216 from the service information DB 26 at the timing of the revision or version upgrade, and the transmission / reception unit 305 transmits the service data 215 and service program 216 via the network 60. It transmits to the service receiving device 1. In the service receiving device 1, when the control unit 21 receives the service data 215 and the service program 216 automatically sent from the service supply device 2 via the network 60 by the service supply device side transmission / reception unit 23, the received service data 215, that the service program 216 has been revised or upgraded, is displayed on the display unit 25, and is prompted to confirm whether to replace the service program 216 that has already been imported. If so, replace it.

  As a result, the user can immediately switch to a new one when there is a revision or upgrade without checking the revision or version upgrade of the service data 215 or service program 216 one by one. Can be provided.

  For automatic transmission of the service data 215 and the service program 216, the control unit 301 of the service supply device 2 refers to the delivery record stored in the contract DB 320, and the component mounting that has been delivered by the user in the past. Only the service data 215 and the service program 216 related to the machine model may be read from the service information DB 26 and transmitted to the service receiving apparatus 1 via the network 60 by the transmission / reception unit 305. As a result, the user can receive only the service data 215 and the service program 216 related to the required model of the component mounting machine, and can receive the service efficiently without waste.

(1-3) Step S103 (Sales Information Service)
In step S 103, when the “sales information” menu is selected by the operator in the service receiving device 1, the control unit 21 instructs the service supply device side transmission / reception unit 23 to instruct the sales information to be referred to. The data is transmitted to the service supply device 2 via 60. In the service supply apparatus 2 by receiving this by the transmission / reception unit 305, the control unit 301 refers to the sales information with respect to the sales information DB 321, and transmits the referenced sales information to the transmission / reception unit 305.

Thereby, the user can examine the specifications of the latest component mounter in a timely manner. Alternatively, it is possible to obtain information on a component mounter that can realize desired specifications such as mounting tact and mounting accuracy.

  In addition, although not the contents executed in step S103, if it is set in the contract DB 320 that there is a batch automatic sending or sales information automatic sending, the control unit 301 of the service supply device 2 stores the contract DB 320 in the contract DB 320. With reference to the accumulated delivery record, it is determined whether or not the sales information related to the model of the component mounter that the user has delivered in the past has been revised. As a result, when there is a revision, the control unit 301 fetches the revised sales information from the sales information DB 321, and transmits it to the service receiving device 1 via the network 60 by the transmission / reception unit 305. As a result, the service receiving device 1 does not always check the service supply device 2 for the revision of the sales information, and the latest catalog and specifications of the component mounting machine of the required model at the time of the revision. An electronic file can be acquired.

  In addition, the timing of automatic sending of sales information other than the revision, for example, when a new model of component mounter is released, at the timing immediately before exhibiting the component mounter at the exhibition, or It may be automatically sent periodically (for example, at the beginning of the year).

(1-4) Step S104 (Electronic Manual Service)
In step S104, when the “electronic manual” menu is selected by the operator in the service receiving apparatus 1, the control unit 21 sends an instruction to the electronic service manual to the electronic device through the service supply apparatus side transmission / reception unit 23.

  Thereby, the latest instruction manual of the component mounting machine of a desired model can be acquired in a timely manner, and the operation of the component mounting machine can be understood.

  In addition, although not the content executed in step S104, if the contract DB 320 is set to enable batch automatic sending or manual automatic sending, the control unit 301 of the service supply apparatus 2 stores the contract DB 320 in the contract DB 320. The accumulated delivery record is referred to, and it is determined whether the user manual has been revised regarding the model of the component mounter that has been delivered in the past. When there is a revision, the control unit 301 takes in the electronic file of the revised manual from the instruction DB 322, and transmits it to the service receiving device 1 via the network 60 by the transmission / reception unit 305. As a result, the service receiving device 1 does not always check the service supply device 2 for the revision of the instruction manual, and the latest instruction manual of the component mounting machine of the required model at the timing of the revision. You can get the file.

(1-5) Step S105 (Repair parts service)
In step S105, when the “repair parts” menu is selected by the operator in the service receiving apparatus 1, the control unit 21 issues an instruction to refer to the inventory information of the repair parts on the service supply side transmission / reception unit 23. Is transmitted to the service supply device 2 via the network 60. This is received by the transmission / reception unit 305, and in the service supply device 2, the control unit 301 refers to the repair part DB 323 for repair part inventory information (see FIG. 20), and refers to the repair part inventory information. The data is transmitted to the service receiving apparatus 1 through the network 60 by the transmission / reception unit 305. In the service receiving device 1, when the service supply device side transmission / reception unit 23 receives the inventory information of the referenced repair part, the control unit 21 outputs the repair part inventory information to the display unit 25, or the management device side transmission / reception. The data is transmitted from the unit 20 to the management apparatus 101 of the corresponding factory via the intranet 3. As a result, the user can view the inventory information of the repair parts in the service receiving apparatus 1 or the management apparatus 101 of each factory, and how much the delivery time of the repair parts is when the repair parts are arranged. Can know.

  Further, in the service receiving apparatus 1, the control unit 21 causes the display unit 25 to prompt the user to input a repair part arrangement. When the input of the repair part arrangement is input from the input unit 24, the content of the repair part arrangement is displayed. The service supply device side transmission / reception unit 23 transmits the data to the service supply device 2 via the network 60. When the transmission / reception unit 305 receives this information, in the service supply device 2, the control unit 301 registers the contents of the repair part arrangement in the repair part DB 323. Specifically, the repair part product number, quantity, and delivery date are registered (see the arrangement information 359 of the repair part DB 323 in FIG. 20). The control unit 301 transmits to the service receiving apparatus 1 via the network 60 by the transmission / reception unit 305 whether or not the arrangement has been made as input by the user. As a result, the user can accurately know when the repair parts requested to be arranged are delivered.

(1-6) Step S106 (Condition Level 1 Conditions)
In step S106, the control unit 21 of the service receiving device 1 or the control unit 301 of the service supply device 2 determines whether the operator of the component mounting machine k is often changed. If the operator is frequently changed, the contract level 1 is determined in step S106. Set up.

  A specific method for the control unit 21 of the service receiving device 1 or the control unit 301 of the service supply device 2 to determine whether the operator of the component mounting machine k is frequently changed may be as follows.

  For example, the control unit 21 of the service receiving apparatus 1 urges the display unit 25 to input an answer about whether or not the operator of the component mounter k has been replaced, and the content of the answer input from the input unit 24 is “ In the case of “Yes”, the control unit 21 may determine that the operator of the component mounter k often changes.

  Further, the operator name of the component mounting machine k is registered in the component mounting machine k, the management apparatus 101 or the service receiving apparatus 1, and the control unit 21 of the service receiving apparatus 1 registers the operator name registered for each component mounting machine k. The control unit 21 may determine that the operator of the component mounter k is often changed when a new operator name is registered or when it is recognized that the operator name is frequently changed. . In such a process, when the control unit 21 determines that the operator of the component mounting machine k often changes, the control unit 21 displays a message indicating that the contract level 1 is registered on the display unit 25 and confirms the operator of the service receiving device 1. It may be something that encourages.

Of course, the control unit 21 of the service receiving device 1 or the control unit 30 of the service supply device 2 is used.
1 does not determine whether the operator of the component mounter k is replaced, the operator of the service receiving device 1 determines whether the operator of the component mounter k is replaced, and selects the “contract” menu on the service receiving device 1 Then, by inputting the contract level 1, the service supply device 2 may register the contract level 1 in the contract DB 320.

(1-7) Step S107 (contract level: 1 setting)
According to the result of determination by the control unit 21 of the service receiving device 1 or the control unit 301 of the service supply device 2 in step S106, or the operator of the service receiving device 1 selects the “contract” menu and inputs the contract level 1. Thus, in step S107, in the service supply device 2, the control unit 301 sets the contract level 1 in the contract DB 320. The fact that the contract level 1 is set is transmitted from the control unit 301 to the service receiving device 1 via the network 60 by the transmission / reception unit 305. In the service receiving device 1, the control unit 21 receives the fact that the contract level 1 has been set via the network 60 by the service supply device side transmission / reception unit 23, and the display unit 25 displays a menu (see FIG. 11) is displayed in a state in which the service of the contract level 1 can be selected. In other words, in the contract level 1 state, a virtual training service (step S108) can be newly selected in addition to the services selectable at the contract level 0 in the menu on the implementation WEB screen (see FIG. 11).

  When the contract level 1 is registered, charging at the contract level 1 is performed for the user. Billing is performed periodically, for example, on a monthly basis. Since the contract level 1 is a contract level that can bring out a higher level of service than the contract level 0, the amount of billing is usually set higher than the contract level 0.

(1-8) Step S108 (virtual training service)
In step S <b> 108, when the “virtual training” menu is selected by the operator in the service receiving device 1, the control unit 21 instructs the service supply device side transmission / reception unit 23 to instruct to take in virtual training software. The data is transmitted to the service supply device 2 via the network 60. In the service supply device 2, the control unit 301 receives the virtual training software from the virtual training DB 324 by receiving this information from the transmission / reception unit 305, and the received virtual training software is transmitted via the network 60 by the transmission / reception unit 305. To the service receiving device 1. In the service receiving device 1, when the captured virtual training software is received by the service supply device side transmission / reception unit 23, the control unit 21 outputs the fact to the display unit 25,

  Thereby, in the service receiving apparatus 1, virtual training software can be started and virtual training can be performed. Also, virtual training can be performed by the factory management apparatus 101 by transferring virtual training software to the factory management apparatus 101. Therefore, even when the operator of the component mounter k is replaced by a beginner, the beginner can learn the operation of the component mounter k by virtual training, and troubles due to operation mistakes can be prevented.

(1-9) Step S109 (Condition Level 2 Conditions)
In step S109, the control unit 21 of the service receiving device 1 or the control unit 301 of the service supply device 2 determines whether the maintenance level of the operator of the component mounting machine k needs to be improved. In S110, contract level 2 is set.

  A specific method for the control unit 21 of the service receiving device 1 or the control unit 301 of the service supply device 2 to determine whether the maintenance level of the operator of the component mounter k needs to be improved may be as follows.

  For example, the control unit 21 of the service receiving apparatus 1 urges the display unit 25 to input an answer about whether or not the maintenance level of the operator of the component mounting machine k needs to be improved. When the content of the answer is “Yes”, the control unit 21 may determine that the maintenance level of the operator of the component mounter k needs to be improved.

  Further, in each component mounter k, the frequency of occurrence of trouble that hinders production of the component mounter k depending on the maintenance level of the operator of the component mounter k is stored, and the control of the service receiving device 1 is controlled based on the stored contents. The control unit 301 of the unit 21 or the service supply device 2 may determine whether the maintenance level of the operator of the component mounter k needs to be improved. In such processing, when the control unit 21 determines that the maintenance level of the operator of the component mounting machine k needs to be improved, the control unit 21 displays on the display unit 25 that the contract level 2 is registered. It may be one that prompts the operator to confirm.

  Of course, the control unit 21 of the service receiving device 1 or the control unit 301 of the service supplying device 2 does not determine whether the maintenance level of the operator of the component mounting machine k needs to be improved, and the operator of the service receiving device 1 mounts the component. When it is determined whether the maintenance level of the operator of the machine k needs to be improved, the “contract” menu is selected on the service receiving device 1 and the contract level 2 is entered. You may register.

(1-10) Step S110 (contract level: 2 settings)
According to the result of determination by the control unit 21 of the service receiving device 1 or the control unit 301 of the service supplying device 2 in step S109 or the operator of the service receiving device 1 selects the “contract” menu and inputs the contract level 2 Thus, in step S110, the control unit 301 of the service supply device 2 sets the contract level 2 in the contract DB 320. The fact that the contract level 2 is set is transmitted from the control unit 301 to the service receiving device 1 via the network 60 by the transmission / reception unit 305. In the service receiving device 1, the control unit 21 receives the fact that the contract level 2 has been set via the network 60 by the service supply device side transmission / reception unit 23, and the display unit 25 displays a menu (see FIG. 11) is displayed in a state in which the service at the contract level 2 can be selected. In this contract level 2 state, in addition to the services selectable at contract level 0 and contract level 1 in the menu of the implementation WEB screen (see FIG. 11), the maintenance information service (step S111) and the software version upgrade service (step S112) can be newly selected.

  When the contract level 2 is registered, the user is charged for the contract level 2. Billing is performed periodically, for example, on a monthly basis. Since the contract level 2 is a contract level that can bring out a higher level of service than the contract level 1, the charge amount is usually set higher than the contract level 1.

(1-11) Step S111 (Maintenance Information Service)
In step S111, when the “maintenance information” menu is selected by the operator in the service receiving apparatus 1, the control unit 21 sends an instruction for referring to the maintenance information to the network by the service supply apparatus side transmitting / receiving unit 23. The data is transmitted to the service supply device 2 via 60. This is received by the transmission / reception unit 305, and in the service supply device 2, the control unit 301 refers to the maintenance information DB 325 for maintenance information (see FIG. 22). At the same time, the control unit 301 transmits the referenced maintenance information to the service receiving apparatus 1 via the network 60 by the transmission / reception unit 305. In the service receiving device 1, when the referenced maintenance information is received by the service supply device side transmission / reception unit 23, the control unit 21 outputs the maintenance information to the display unit 25, or the management device side transmission / reception unit 20 performs the intranet 3. Is transmitted to the management apparatus 101 of the corresponding factory.

  A specific method for the control unit 21 of the service receiving apparatus 1 or the control unit 301 of the service supply apparatus 2 to determine whether this productivity improvement support is necessary may be as follows.

  For example, the control unit 21 of the service receiving device 1 prompts the display unit 25 to input an answer about the necessity of productivity improvement support, and the content of the answer input from the input unit 24 is “ In the case of “Yes”, the control unit 21 may determine that support for improving productivity is necessary.

  Further, in each component mounting machine k, the frequency of occurrence of trouble that hinders the production of the component mounting machine k due to lack of productivity improvement support is stored, and the control unit of the service receiving device 1 is based on the stored contents. 21 or the control unit 301 of the service supply device 2 may determine whether productivity improvement support is necessary. In such processing, when it is determined that the productivity improvement support is necessary, the control unit 21 displays a message indicating that the contract level 4 is registered on the display unit 25 and prompts the operator of the service receiving device 1 to confirm. good.

  Of course, the control unit 21 of the service receiving apparatus 1 or the control unit 301 of the service supplying apparatus 2 does not determine whether the productivity improvement support is necessary, and the operator of the service receiving apparatus 1 needs the productivity improvement support. The service supply apparatus 2 may register the contract level 4 in the contract DB 320 by selecting the “contract” menu on the service receiving apparatus 1 and inputting the contract level 4.

(1-18) Step S118 (Contract level: 4 settings)
According to the result of determination by the control unit 21 of the service receiving device 1 or the control unit 301 of the service supplying device 2 in step S117, or the operator of the service receiving device 1 selects the “contract” menu and inputs the contract level 4. Thus, in step S118, in the service supply device 2, the control unit 301 sets the contract level 4 in the contract DB 320. The fact that the contract level 4 is set is transmitted from the control unit 301 to the service receiving apparatus 1 via the network 60 by the transmission / reception unit 305. In the service receiving device 1, the control unit 21 receives the fact that the contract level 4 has been set via the network 60 by the service supply device side transmission / reception unit 23, and the display unit 25 displays a menu (see FIG. 11) is displayed in a state where the service of the contract level 4 can be selected. In the state of the contract level 4, in addition to the services that can be selected from the contract level 0 to the contract level 3 in the menu of the implementation WEB screen (see FIG. 11), the optimization service (step S119) can be newly selected. it can.

  When the contract level 4 is registered, charging at the contract level 4 is performed for the user. Billing is performed periodically, for example, on a monthly basis. Since the contract level 4 is a contract level that can bring out a higher level of service than the contract level 3, the amount of billing is usually set higher than the contract level 3.

(1-19) Step S119 (Optimization service)

Then, optimization of the mounting order, simulation of mounting time, and the like are performed on the NC data 220 uploaded from the factory. Thereby, it is possible to confirm the mounting time in the NC data 220 after optimization without reducing the tact loss of the component mounting machine k and reducing the mounting time so that the mounting time is not actually produced. . By downloading the optimized NC data 220 to the component mounter k, it is possible to realize effective production support with greatly improved production efficiency.

  In addition, the control unit 21 transmits the optimization software to the management device 101 of the corresponding factory via the intranet 3 by the management device side transmission / reception unit 20. Further, the management apparatus 101 installs the transferred optimization software on the component mounter k. Thereby, also in the management apparatus 101 and the component mounting machine k, optimization and mounting tact simulation can be performed.

  Further, although not the contents executed in step S119, if the contract DB 320 is set to have batch automatic delivery or automatic delivery of optimization software, and the contract level 4 is set, the service The control unit 301 of the supply device 2 refers to the delivery record stored in the contract DB 320 and determines whether there has been an upgrade of the optimization software related to the model of the component mounter that the user has delivered in the past. When there is an upgrade, the control unit 301 fetches the optimized software with the upgrade from the optimization software DB 329 and transmits the optimization software DB 329 to the service receiving apparatus 1 via the network 60 by the transmission / reception unit 305. As a result, the service receiving device 1 does not always check the service supply device 2 for the upgrade of the optimization software, and the optimization software for the component mounter of the required model at the timing of the upgrade is available. Can be acquired.

(1-20) Step S120 (Condition Level 5 Conditions)

In the state of the contract level 5, in addition to the services that can be selected from the contract level 0 to the contract level 4 in the menu of the implementation WEB screen (see FIG. 11), the analysis service (step S122) can be newly selected. .

  When the contract level 5 is registered, charging at the contract level 5 is performed for the user. Billing is performed periodically, for example, on a monthly basis. Since the contract level 5 is a contract level that can bring out a higher level of service than the contract level 4, the amount of billing is usually set higher than the contract level 4.

(1-22) Step S122 (analysis service)
In step S <b> 122, when the “analysis” menu is selected by the operator in the service receiving apparatus 1, the control unit 21 causes the display unit 25 to display a message prompting the user to input abnormality details. When the input of the abnormal content is received from the input unit 24, the control unit 21 transmits an instruction to analyze the abnormal content to the service supply device 2 via the network 60 by the service supply device side transmission / reception unit 23. . In response to this request, the control unit 301 receives the request by the transmission / reception unit 305, takes out the monitoring / analysis software 372 from the monitoring / analysis software DB 330, and activates it. As a result, the control unit 301 periodically sends upload requests for the facility information 211, the mounting tact information 213, the NC data 220, and the inspection result information 212 according to the procedure of the monitoring / analysis software 372 by the transmission / reception unit 305. To the service receiving apparatus 1 via The control unit 301 analyzes the abnormality based on the uploaded equipment information 211, mounting tact information 213, NC data 220, and inspection result information 212.

The analysis result is fed back to the service receiving apparatus 1, and this feedback is performed from the service receiving apparatus 1 to the management apparatus 101 and from the management apparatus 101 to the component mounting machine k. As a result, the cause of the abnormality that has occurred in the component mounting machine k can be immediately identified, and the countermeasure can be accurately implemented, so that the abnormality can be reliably resolved with high response.

(1-23) Step S123 (Condition Level 6 Conditions)
In step S123, the control unit 21 of the service receiving device 1 or the control unit 301 of the service supply device 2 determines whether it is necessary to monitor the state of the component mounter k. Set contract level 6.

  A specific method for the control unit 21 of the service receiving apparatus 1 or the control unit 301 of the service supply apparatus 2 to determine whether or not it is necessary to monitor the state of the component mounting machine k may be as follows.

  For example, the control unit 21 of the service receiving apparatus 1 prompts the display unit 25 to input an answer about the necessity of monitoring the state of the component mounter k, and the input of the answer is received from the input unit 24. When the content is “present”, the control unit 21 may determine that it is necessary to monitor the state of the component mounter k.

  Further, in each component mounter k, the frequency of occurrence of trouble that hinders the production of the component mounter k due to the absence of monitoring of the state of the component mounter k is stored, and the service receiving device 1 is based on the stored contents. The control unit 21 or the control unit 301 of the service supply apparatus 2 may determine whether it is necessary to monitor the state of the component mounting machine k. In such processing, when the control unit 21 determines that it is necessary to monitor the state of the component mounting machine k, the control unit 21 displays on the display unit 25 that the contract level 6 is registered, and confirms the operator of the service receiving device 1. It may be something that encourages.

The line operating rate represents the operating rate of the entire component mounting line 100. For example, the operating rate in the neck component mounting machine that is the component mounting machine having the largest mounting tact performance value in the component mounting line 100 is defined as the line operating rate.

  As shown in the figure, the control unit 301 reads the mounting tact actual value in each production type of all the component mounting machines k of the specified mounting machine delivery destination factory from the mounting tact DB 32 of the operation quality information DB 51 (step S201). It is determined which component mounter k is a bottleneck (a component mounter having the largest mounting tact performance value in the component mounting line 100) in the production type (step S202). Next, from the equipment information DB 30 of the operation quality information DB 51, the operation rate of the neck component mounting machine determined for each production type at the specified mounting machine delivery destination factory is extracted corresponding to the time when the production type was produced. (Step S203), the line operation rate transition is displayed as a graph on the display unit 307 (Step S204).

  If, for example, the operator of the service supply device 2 performs an input operation for displaying details of the stop time in order to analyze the cause of the decrease in the line operation rate (step S205), the facility information DB 30 in the operation quality information DB 51 is displayed. Then, the equipment information 31 of each component mounting machine k in the designated mounting machine delivery destination factory is read every time (step S206), and the breakdown of the stop time for each component mounting machine k, that is, the P board waiting time, trouble The stop time, the maintenance time, etc. are displayed for each time zone (step S207).

(B) Line Mounting Tact Analysis Graph Display Operation FIG. 31B shows a flowchart of the line mounting tact analysis graph display operation. The line mounting tact represents the mounting tact of the entire component mounting line 100. For example, the largest mounting tact actual value among the mounting tact actual values of each component mounting machine k of the component mounting line 100 is set as the line mounting tact.

  As shown in the figure, the control unit 301 reads the mounting tact information 33 in the production type specified by all the component mounting machines k of the mounting machine delivery destination factory specified from the mounting tact DB 32 of the operation quality information DB 51 (step S221). The mounting tact actual values of the component mounting machine k are arranged so that the tact balance can be understood and displayed on the display unit 307 as a graph (step S222). For example, in the case of the mounting machine n108, the XY table movement loss and the component supply apparatus movement loss of each mounting machine n108 are displayed simultaneously as the breakdown of the mounting tact actual value of each component mounting machine k displayed in the graph.

(C) Operation of graph display of adsorption rate transition analysis FIG. 31 (c) shows a flowchart of graph display operation of the adsorption rate transition analysis. As shown in the figure, the control unit 301 extracts the suction rates of all mounting machines in the mounting machine delivery destination factory designated from the equipment information DB 30 of the operation quality information DB 51 (step S241), and displays the suction rate transition of each mounting machine n108. The graph is displayed on the unit 307 (step S242).

(D) Operation of graph display of inspection result defect rate transition analysis Although not shown, the control unit 301 displays the transition of the rate at which NG occurs in the inspection result by the same method as in FIGS. 31 (a) to 31 (c). A graph is displayed on the section 307. The rate of occurrence of NG may be, for example, a rate indicating whether NG is generated at one place on one circuit board, or may be a rate at which NG is generated at each mounted component.

  Further, as details of the occurrence state of the defect, the control unit 301 displays a breakdown of the NG of the inspection result on the display unit 307 as a graph. For example, as a result of the inspection in each time zone or production type, the ratio of the frequency of occurrence of component mounting deviation, component missing item, bridge, solder connection failure, etc. is displayed in a graph. In addition, for example, it is displayed whether the breakdown of the defect specifying the circuit board or the circuit number is one of component misalignment, component missing, bridge, and solder connection failure.

(2-2) Monitoring / Analysis Operation The monitoring / analysis operation will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. The following monitoring / analysis operation will be described with respect to a case where the mounting machine n108 is monitored / analyzed in the component mounting line 100. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the same applies to the component mounting machine k other than the mounting machine n108. You may monitor and analyze based on a simple idea.

  Also, the subject of the operation to be monitored / analyzed is the operator of the service supply device 2, and the operator of the service supply device 2 displays the graph of the operation status as described above to check various problems. It is sufficient to pursue the cause of narrowing down. However, not only this, but the control unit 301 of the service supply apparatus 2 not only displays the graph of the operation status as described above, but also internally generates data for displaying the graph of the operation status at various points of view. It is also possible to narrow down the problem by checking and pursue the cause. In the monitoring and analysis procedures described later, the subject of the monitoring and analysis operations is applicable to both the operator of the service supply device 2 and the control unit 301 of the service supply device 2.

  In FIG. 32, the line operating rate transition graph is viewed to monitor whether the line operating rate is maintained at or above the target value (step S300). For example, FIG. 34A shows a display of the line operation rate of the component mounting line 100 by designating the mounting machine delivery destination. The horizontal axis represents time, the vertical axis represents the line operation rate, and the line operation rate for each time is displayed in a graph every hour. A line 40 indicates a target value of the line operation rate. In this graph, the target value 40 of the line operation rate is set to 73%. According to this graph, the line operation rate is maintained while maintaining the target value of 40 or more. Here, the target value 40 of the line operation rate is stored in advance in the operation quality information DB 51 of the service supply device 2.

  The process when the line operation rate does not change while maintaining the target value 40 or higher will be described later with reference to FIG.

  After monitoring the line operation rate, the line mounting tact graph for the specified production type of the same component mounting line 100 is viewed to monitor whether the line mounting tact maintains the target value or less (step S301). An example in which the line mounting tact is displayed in a graph is shown in FIG. Note that the graph of FIG. 34B is the same as that of the component mounting line 100 as the graph of FIG. The horizontal axis represents the mounting machine, and the vertical axis represents the mounting tact actual value, which displays the mounting tact actual value of each mounting machine n108 of the component mounting line 100. As a breakdown of the mounting tact actual value, a standard mounting tact, an XY table movement loss (XY loss), and a component supply apparatus movement loss (Z loss) are also displayed in a graph. A line 41 indicates a target value of the line mounting tact. According to this graph, the line mounting tact is a mounting tact slower than the target value 41. Accordingly, the process proceeds to step S302. Here, the target value 41 of the line mounting tact is stored in advance in the operation quality information DB 51 of the service supply device 2.

Next, in the line mounting tact graph displayed in step S301, it is monitored whether the standard mounting tact of all mounting machines is equal to or greater than the line mounting tact target value 41 (step S302). In FIG. 34B, since there is no mounting machine n108 whose standard mounting tact is equal to or greater than the target value 41 of the line mounting tact, the process proceeds to step S303.

  Next, it is monitored whether the line tact balance is within the allowable range in the line mounting tact graph displayed in step S301 (step S303). The allowable range of line tact balance is set in advance in the operation quality information DB 51. As an example, it is set to be within 5% of the average value of each mounting machine n108. In FIG. 34 (b), the difference 42 between the mounting tact actual values between the mounting machine 1 that is the neck mounting machine as described above and the mounting machine 2 that has the minimum mounting tact actual value is the allowable range 43 of the line tact balance. Therefore, the process proceeds to step S304.

  Next, it is monitored whether or not the tact loss of the neck mounting machine is within the allowable range in the line mounting tact graph displayed in step S301 (step S304). The allowable range of tact loss is set in advance in the operation quality information DB 51. As an example, it is set to be within 5% of the standard mounting tact. In FIG. 34 (b), it can be seen that the tact loss 44 of the mounting machine 1 that is a neck mounting machine exceeds the allowable range 45 of tact loss. In the examples of FIGS. 34A and 34B, the fact that the tact loss of the mounting machine 1 that is the neck mounting machine exceeds the allowable range 45 is the reason why the line mounting tact is slower than the target value. Therefore, this tact loss must be eliminated. In this case, the process proceeds to step S305.

Next, in the production type under analysis, it is determined whether the parts supply device 5 is fixed at the same position as the previous type (common part arrangement) (step S305). This determination may be made by checking whether the arrangement of the component supply device 5 is the same as the previous production type from the NC data 220 (array program 231), or a flag indicating whether the arrangement is a common component arrangement or not. n108, what is set by the management apparatus 101 may be collected by the service receiving apparatus 1 together with the facility information 211 and judged by looking at the collected flags.

If the arrangement of the component supply device 5 is not fixed, the mounting machine unit is optimized in order to eliminate the tact loss of the neck mounting machine and keep the line mounting tact below the target value (step S306). In this case, both the arrangement of the component supply device 5 and the mounting order are optimized. Details will be described later.

  On the other hand, when the arrangement of the component supply device 5 is fixed, first, optimization of the mounting machine alone is performed in order to eliminate the tact loss of the neck mounting machine. This is the optimization of the mounting order under the condition that the arrangement of the component supply devices 5 is fixed. If the line mounting tact can be reduced below the target value, the optimization ends. If the mounting tact is not less than the target value, optimization is performed by reviewing the common arrangement of the component supply devices 5 (step S307). Details will be described later.

  In step S304, as shown in FIG. 35 (b), when the tact loss 44 of the mounting machine 1 as the neck mounting machine is within the tact loss allowable range 45, there is a problem in distributing the parts to the respective mounting machines n108. There will be. In this case, it is necessary to correct the distribution. Accordingly, the process proceeds to step S308.

  In step S308, in the production type under analysis, it is determined whether or not the component supply device 5 is fixed at the same position as the previous type (common component arrangement). The determination method is the same as in step S305.

If the arrangement of the component supply device 5 is free, the line tact imbalance is eliminated and the line mounting tact is made equal to or less than the target value, so that the optimization of redistributing the components to the respective mounting machines n108 is performed (step S309). . In this case, after placement of the parts, each placement machine n108 performs the placement machine single optimization that optimizes both the arrangement of the parts supply device 5 and the placement order. Details will be described later.

  On the other hand, when the arrangement of the component supply devices 5 is fixed, optimization is performed by reviewing the common arrangement of the component supply devices 5 (step S310). In this case, of course, optimization of redistributing the parts to the respective mounting machines n108 is also performed. Details will be described later.

  In step S303, as shown in FIG. 36 (b), when the line tact balance is achieved, the line mounting tact is larger than the target value for the tact loss of each mounting machine. This is because the tact loss of the mounting machine is large. It is necessary to optimize to eliminate the tact loss of each mounting machine. Accordingly, the process proceeds to step S311.

  In step S311, in the production type under analysis, it is determined whether or not the component supply device 5 is fixed at the same position as the previous type (common component arrangement). The determination method is the same as in step S305.

  When the arrangement of the component supply device 5 is free, the mounting machine unit is optimized in each mounting machine in order to make the line mounting tact less than the target value by eliminating the tact loss of each mounting machine n108 (step S312). In this case, both the arrangement of the component supply device 5 and the mounting order are optimized. Details will be described later.

  On the other hand, when the arrangement of the component supply device 5 is fixed, first, in order to eliminate the tact loss of each placement machine, the placement machine n108 is optimized by each placement machine n108. It becomes the optimization of the mounting order under fixed conditions. If the line mounting tact can be reduced below the target value, the optimization ends. If the line mounting tact is not less than or equal to the target value, optimization is performed by reviewing the common arrangement of the component supply devices 5 (step S313). Details will be described later.

  In step S302, as shown in FIG. 37B, when the standard mounting tact of all the mounting machines is equal to or greater than the target value 41 of the line mounting tact, the line mounting tact is the target in the configuration of this component mounting line 100. Since it cannot be less than the value, a configuration of the component mounting line 100 is proposed (step S314).

  Processing when the line operation rate decreases in step 300 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  In FIG. 38 (a), the line operation rate falls below the target value 40 between 15:00 and 20:00. In order to investigate the cause, as shown in FIG. 38B, the breakdown of the stop time between 15:00 and 20:00 of the mounting machine 1 as the neck mounting machine is displayed in a graph. In the figure, the horizontal axis represents time, the vertical axis represents stop time, and the breakdown of the stop time is displayed for each time. It can be seen from the figure that the product changeover time is large between 15:00 and 20:00 (step S315). Accordingly, since the reason why the line operation rate has decreased is that the type switching time is long, the process proceeds to step S316 in order to optimize the type switching time.

  In step S316, the common arrangement of the component supply device 5 is optimized, and the line mounting tact in each production type and the type switching time between each type are obtained and verified by a tact simulation. Details will be described later.

In the above description, the example in which the line operation rate is lowered when the type switching time is large in the neck mounting machine has been described. However, any mounting that constitutes the component mounting line 100 is possible even in a mounting machine other than the neck mounting machine. If the model change time becomes longer on the machine, the stop time of the neck mounting machine will be increased due to the influence (for example, the model change is performed all at once on the line, and the model change of all the installed machines is completed and the next production To start). As a result, the line operation rate may decrease.

  Next, in the example of FIG. 39A, the line operating rate is below the target value 40 after 20:00. In order to investigate this cause, as shown in FIG. 39 (b), when the transition of the suction rate of the component suction nozzle 7 of the mounting machine 1 which is a neck mounting machine is displayed, the suction rate after 20:00 is the target value 46. It can be seen that the target value of the adsorption rate is lower than 99.99% in advance in the operation quality information DB 51 of the service supply device 2 (step S317). Thereby, it is found that the cause of the decrease in the line operation rate is the decrease in the adsorption rate. Therefore, the cause of the decrease in the adsorption rate of the mounting machine 1 is further analyzed.

  First, the transition of the suction rate by type of the component suction nozzle 7 of the mounting machine 1 is examined (not shown in the equipment information 211 of FIG. 9, but the suction rate by type of the component suction nozzle 7 from each mounting machine n108. If the suction rate of only the specific component suction nozzle 7 is reduced (step S318), it is because a failure has occurred in the suction nozzle 7. In this case, a message is sent to the management apparatus 101 of the relevant mounting machine delivery destination factory so as to replace the suction nozzle 7. If necessary, registration is made to the repair parts DB 323 in the service information DB 26 to arrange to ship the component suction nozzle 7 as a repair part to the mounting machine delivery destination factory (step S319).

  Next, the transition of the adsorption rate by type of the component supply device 5 (for example, the parts cassette) of the mounting machine 1 is examined (this is also collected as one data in the facility information 211). If the adsorption rate of only the component has decreased (step S320), it is because a failure has occurred in the component supply device 5. In this case, a message is sent to the management apparatus 101 of the relevant mounting machine delivery destination factory to replace the component supply apparatus 5. If necessary, registration is made to the repair parts DB 323 in the service information DB 26 to arrange for the parts supply device 5 to be shipped to the corresponding mounting machine delivery destination factory as a repair part (step S321).

  In addition, the line mounting tact for the corresponding production type is examined. In the example of FIG. 40 (a), the line operation rate decreases between 20:00 and 22:00. FIG. 40B shows the line mounting tact for the production type corresponding to the time zone. In the figure, the movement loss (Z loss) of the component supply device 5 of the mounting machine 1 which is a neck mounting machine is large (step S322). This means that the amount of movement of the component supply device 5 is large. For this reason, it can be seen that the vibration of the component supply unit 11 becomes large and is related to a decrease in the adsorption rate. In this case, the mounting machine unit is optimized for the mounting machine 1 to eliminate the movement loss of the component supply device 5 (step S323). Details will be described later.

  In the above description, the example in which the line operation rate has decreased due to the decrease in the suction rate of the component suction nozzle 7 in the neck mounting machine has been described. However, even in the mounting machine n108 other than the neck mounting machine, the component mounting line When the suction rate of the component suction nozzle 7 is reduced in any of the mounting machines n108 constituting 100, the stop time of the neck mounting machine increases due to the influence. For example, when the neck mounting machine is downstream of the mounting machine n108 having a reduced suction rate, the stop time for waiting for the P plate (waiting for circuit board conveyance) becomes longer, and the neck mounting machine has a reduced suction rate. If it is upstream of n108, the stop time of the downstream full (one type waiting for the P plate) in which the circuit board stagnates downstream becomes longer. As a result, the line operation rate may decrease.

Next, also in the case of FIG. 41 (a), the line operation rate decreases between 20:00 and 22:00. In order to investigate this cause, as shown in FIG. 41 (b), the breakdown of the stop time between 20:00 and 22:00 of the mounting machine 1 which is a neck mounting machine is displayed in a graph. It can be seen from the figure that the trouble stop time is large between 20:00 and 22:00. It turns out that the large trouble stop time is the cause of the decrease in the line operation rate. Therefore, the cause of the trouble stop time of the mounting machine 1 is further analyzed.

  First, the transition of the number of times that an operation error has occurred is examined (not shown in the equipment information 211 in FIG. 9, but each mounting machine n108 detects an operation error and collects the number of times that an operation error has occurred. ) If the number of operation mistakes between 20:00 and 22:00 of the mounting machine 1 is large, the operator's operation mistake causes the line operation rate to decrease (step S324). In this case, a message indicating that the operator's operation error is the cause of the decrease in the line operating rate is sent to the management apparatus 101 of the corresponding mounting machine delivery destination factory. Then, if necessary, the electronic file 355 of the instruction manual of the mounting machine 1 is taken out from the instruction DB 322 in the service information DB 26, and the extracted electronic file 355 of the instruction manual of the mounting machine 1 is transferred to the management apparatus 101. To do. Also, the virtual training software 361 for the mounting machine 1 is taken out from the virtual training DB 324 in the service information DB 26, the extracted virtual training software 361 is started, and the display unit of the management apparatus 101 of the mounting machine delivery destination factory or the mounting machine 1 is displayed. The virtual training by the remote processing used is performed for the operator (step S325). This virtual training is performed for an operation in which an error has occurred in accordance with the content of the operation error (collected as the facility information 211 and written in the facility information DB 30). The facility information DB 30 also stores data related to the operator's shift, and it is possible to analyze whether an operation error has occurred at a specific shift. As a result, if it occurs only in a specific shift time zone, that is, at the time of a specific operator, it is possible to take measures that specify the operator, such as performing virtual training for the operator.

  Next, the software version of the mounting machine 1 is checked (although not displayed in the equipment information 211 in FIG. 9), the software version information of each mounting machine n108 is collected as the equipment information 211 and stored in the operation quality information DB 51. The upgrade information 366 of the software DB 326 in the service information DB 26 is referred to, and it is confirmed whether the current software version of the mounting machine 1 is the latest. When the current software of the placement machine 1 is not the latest version, the version upgrade contents and bug correction information for each version are obtained from the history data of each version of the software of each placement machine n108 held in the version upgrade information 366. Can be examined. As a result, in the software version of the mounting machine 1 that is the corresponding mounting machine, if an uncorrected bug remains and it turns out that the trouble is stopped, the cause of the trouble stop is that the software version is old. This causes the line operation rate to decrease (step S326). In this case, the latest version software 367 of the corresponding mounting machine is fetched from the service supply apparatus 2 from the software DB 326 in the service information DB 26, transferred to the management apparatus 101 of the corresponding mounting machine delivery destination factory, and the corresponding processing is performed by remote processing. Installation is performed on the mounting machine n108 (step S327). At this time, information on the latest installed version, for example, the contents of the upgrade and the contents of the corrected bug are also transferred to the management apparatus 101. In addition, when there is a change or addition in the operation or maintenance method of the mounting machine n108 or a message at the time of trouble or the like due to the latest version, an electronic file 355 of an instruction manual that understands the contents is stored in the service information DB 26. The virtual training software 361 is taken out from the virtual training DB 324 in the service information DB 26 and the virtual training is performed.

Next, as a result of checking whether there is any defect in the NC data 220, in particular, whether the data in the component library 241 is defective (the component library 241 is stored in the data storage unit 22 for each mounting machine as described above. ), And there is a defect. For example, it is assumed that the head speed in the parts library 241 is set to a high speed even though the head speed should be low. In this case, since the speed at which the mounting head 4 rotates is too fast, the suction force of the component suction nozzle 7 cannot resist the inertial force due to the mass of the component, resulting in troubles such as component displacement and component dropout. Therefore, in this case, the defect of the part library 241 causes the line operation rate to decrease (step S328). In this case, the component library 241 of the corresponding mounting machine is read from the mounting component DB 327 in the service information DB 26 and transferred to the management device 101 of the corresponding mounting machine delivery destination factory (step S329). The component library 241 held in the mounted component DB 327 covers data of components of all component manufacturers used in the mounting industry. However, it is possible to search and transfer only the component library 241 related to components that meet the conditions, depending on the service component manufacturer to be serviced and the type of circuit board to be produced. Accordingly, since the minimum necessary component library 241 is transferred, the mounting machine n108 to which the component library 241 is input does not take a storage amount with unnecessary data.

  In the above, an example in which the line operation rate has decreased due to a long trouble stop time in the neck mounting machine has been described. However, any of the mounting machines other than the neck mounting machine may constitute the component mounting line 100. If the trouble stop time of the mounting machine increases, the stop time of the neck mounting machine increases. For example, if the neck mounting machine is downstream of the mounting machine with a large trouble stop time, the stop time for waiting for the P board (waiting for circuit board transfer) will be large, and the neck mounting machine will have a long trouble stopping time. If it is upstream, the stop time of the full downstream (a kind of waiting for the P plate) where the circuit board stagnates downstream becomes large. As a result, the line operation rate may decrease.

  Further, in the example of FIG. 42A, the line operation rate is reduced between 20:00 and 22:00. In order to investigate this cause, as shown in FIG. 42B, the breakdown of the stop time between 20:00 and 22:00 of the mounting machine 1 as the neck mounting machine is displayed in a graph. From the figure, it can be seen that the part cut-off time is large between 20:00 and 22:00. It is found that the large part stoppage time is the cause of the decrease in the line operation rate (step S330). In this case, it is important to promptly replace the component supply device 5 in which the component has run out. For example, depending on the number of components used by one component supply device 5, the component supply device 5 may be changed. If the number of parts is increased so as to be shared and supplied from a plurality of parts supply devices 5, the parts will not run out. Therefore, there is also an option for performing optimization by adding a plurality of the same component supply devices 5 (step S331). Details will be described later.

  In the above description, an example in which the line operation rate has decreased due to a large part stoppage time in the neck mounting machine has been described. However, the component mounting line 100 is configured even in the mounting machine n108 other than the neck mounting machine. If any of the mounting machines n108 has a longer part stoppage time, the stoppage time of the neck mounting machine increases due to the influence. For example, when the neck mounting machine is downstream of the mounting machine n108 having a large part cut-off time, the stop time for waiting for the P board (waiting for circuit board conveyance) becomes large, and the neck mounting machine has a long part cut-off time. If it is in the upstream of the mounting machine n108, the stop time of the full downstream (one type waiting for the P plate) in which the circuit board stagnates downstream becomes large. As a result, the line operation rate may decrease.

  As described above, the reason why the line mounting tact or the line operation rate does not reach the target value is analyzed from various angles based on the obtained phenomenon. Since the optimum countermeasure such as provision can be performed by remote operation via the network 60, the line mounting tact or the line operation rate can be reliably returned to the target value in real time. In addition, by monitoring and analyzing the operation status from various angles, it is possible to take preventive measures before a fatal trouble or production stoppage occurs.

As described above, the monitoring / analysis for preventing the deterioration of the operation rate and the mounting tact has been described based on the flowcharts of FIGS. 32 and 33. However, the monitoring / analysis for preventing the quality defect can be performed by the same method.

  For example, the transition of the defective rate of the inspection result is monitored, and when the defective rate exceeds the target, the cause is analyzed. For this purpose, it is examined what kind of failure has occurred when the failure rate exceeds the target.

  For example, in the case where parts are misplaced and the parts that are misplaced are limited to large, low speed parts such as SOP and QFP, those parts in the part library 241. Check the specified contents of the mounting speed. If it is determined that this is designated as a high speed, it is assumed that the component library to be mounted at a low speed causes a displacement due to the inertia of the component suction nozzle 7, and the component library The designation of the mounting speed of 241 is corrected to a low speed, and the corrected parts library 241 is fed back to the service receiving apparatus 1.

  Further, for example, when the occurrence of solder fading can be detected as a result of the cream solder printing inspection, the construction method data such as the viscosity and temperature of the cream solder is examined, or the plate separation speed is examined. Among them, when the type of the circuit board is found to be unsuitable as a printing method with a narrow lead pitch, for example, the service is received to reflect the contents retrieved by searching the mounting method DB 328 for the method. Provide feedback to device 1.

  There are many other cases where quality analysis is performed, but it is omitted in this embodiment. However, analysis and feedback are performed in the same manner as described above.

(2-3) NC data optimization operation In the above-described operation status analysis flowcharts of FIGS. 32 and 33, NC data optimization was introduced everywhere as a countermeasure for removing the cause found as a result of the analysis. The detailed processing operation will be described below.

(A) Operation of Wearer Single Unit Optimization in Step S306 The operation of the wearer single unit optimization in step S306 will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

  The purpose of the mounting machine single unit optimization in step S306 is to eliminate the fact that the tact loss of the neck mounting machine has exceeded the allowable range.

  First, the mounted components are grouped for each mounting speed, and in the mounting order on the circuit board 10 and in the arrangement of the component supply devices 5, the order of groups in which the mounting speed is high to low is set (step S401). The mounting speed is the moving speed of the mounting head 4 or the moving speed of the XY table 9. In addition, the component supply device 5 is arranged in the group order from high speed to low speed from the vicinity of the initial position (origin) on the moving table 6.

    Next, the mounting order in each speed group and the arrangement of the component supply devices 5 are determined (step S402). In the determination of the mounting order and the arrangement of the component supply devices 5, the highest priority is taken so that the movement amount of the component supply device 5 is within the allowable movement range (Z movement allowable movement range) within the standard tact of the component supply device 5. To do. As the next priority, consideration is given so that the movement amount of the XY table 9 falls within the allowable movement range (XY movement allowable movement range) within the standard tact of the XY table. Thereby, the movement loss of the component supply apparatus 5 is completely eliminated.

As described above, since the movement loss of the component supply device 5 is completely eliminated, it is possible to restrict the component at the mounting position that can be selected next from the current mounting position, so that it is farther from the component at the mounting position closer to the current mounting position on the circuit board. On the contrary, the movement loss of the XY table 9 can inevitably remain because there are cases where the component at the mounting position must be selected. The movement amount of the component supply device 5 is set within the allowable movement range within the standard tact of the component supply device 5. For example, if the allowable movement range within the standard tact of the component supply device 5 is ± 1, It is limited to the components of the same component supply device 5 or the adjacent component supply device 5. If there is no part at the mounting position within the allowable movement range within the standard tact from the current mounting position among these parts, the movement loss of the XY table 9 is caused. However, even if the movement amount of the XY table 9 does not fall within the allowable movement range within the standard tact of the XY table 9, consideration is given to selecting the component at the next mounting position that provides the minimum movement amount. Thereby, it is possible to change the mounting order to the minimum movement loss of the XY table 9 among the conditions in which the movement loss of the component supply device 5 is completely eliminated.

  In addition, in the case of the high-speed mounting machine 108a in which the standard tact is mounted in 0.2 seconds or less, the movement amount of the component supply device 5 is more strictly limited. In other words, the mounting order is such that only after all the components of one component supply device 5 have been mounted, the components are moved to the adjacent component supply device 5. In this way, the amount of movement of the component supply device 5 can be minimized, and a decrease in the adsorption rate due to vibration of the component supply device 5 can be prevented. However, in this case, since the movement loss of the XY table 9 is slightly increased by strictly limiting the movement amount of the component supply device 5, the mounting tact is delayed.

  Next, a mounting tact simulation is performed based on the determined arrangement of the component supply devices 5 and the NC data 220 of the neck mounting machine after optimization in the component mounting order, and the theoretical value of the mounting tact, that is, the line mounting tact is calculated. Calculate (step S403). The theoretical value of the mounting tact is calculated using (Expression 1) to (Expression 6) described above.

  Next, it is evaluated whether the calculated theoretical value of the line mounting tact has achieved the target value (step S404). If the target value is achieved, the optimization process is terminated. If the target value is not achieved, the process proceeds to step S405.

  In step S405, as shown in FIG. 44, if there is a component widely distributed on the circuit board (P board) 10 by one component supply device 5, a group of dispersed components (FIG. In this example, each group is an individual component), and is added to a plurality of component supply devices 5 for shared supply. In the illustrated example, the component supply device 5 for the component a is added to three component supply devices 5. Thus, before the expansion, in order to eliminate the movement loss of the component supply device 5, for example, when components of the same component supply device 5 are continuously mounted, the movement of the XY table 9 is performed as shown in the figure. Although the amount was considerably large, after the expansion, as shown in the figure, the arrangement of the component supply devices 5 can be determined in the order of the mounting position of the circuit board 10, so that the movement amount of the XY table 9 is greatly reduced. .

  Next, the arrangement and the mounting order of the component supply devices 5 in the same process as step S402 are determined for the NC data 220 after the expansion of the component supply devices 5 (step S406). Further, a mounting tact simulation is performed based on the optimized NC data 220 in step S406, and the theoretical value of the mounting tact, that is, the theoretical value of the line mounting tact is calculated (step S407).

  Next, it is evaluated whether the calculated theoretical value of the line mounting tact has achieved the target value (step S408). If the target value is achieved, the optimization process is terminated. In most cases, the target value is considered to be achieved. However, if the target value is not achieved, the process proceeds to step S409.

In step S409, if the target value cannot be achieved even if the optimization is performed as described above, there is a possibility that there is a problem in the component arrangement on the circuit board. Alternatively, the configuration of the component mounting line 100 is proposed to have a higher capability.

(B) Optimization operation in step S307 The optimization operation in step S307 will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

  The purpose of the optimization in step S307 is to eliminate the fact that the tact loss of the neck mounting machine has exceeded the allowable range.

(B-1) Optimization under the condition of fixing the arrangement of the parts supply device 5 of the neck mounting machine First, in the neck mounting machine, the mounting order is changed under the condition of fixing without changing the current arrangement of the parts supply device 5. Determine (step S421). In determining the mounting order, the highest priority is taken so that the movement amount of the component supply device 5 falls within the allowable movement range (Z movement allowable movement range) within the standard tact of the component supply device 5. As the next priority, consideration is given so that the movement amount of the XY table 9 falls within the allowable movement range (XY movement allowable movement range) within the standard tact of the XY table. Thereby, the movement loss of the component supply apparatus 5 is completely eliminated.

  However, under the condition where the arrangement of the component supply devices 5 is fixed, the movement loss of the XY table 9 becomes larger than when the XY table 9 is not fixed. This will be described with reference to FIGS. 46 (a) and 46 (b). As shown in FIG. 46 (a), when the arrangement of the component supply devices 5 is fixed, if the movement of the component supply device 5 is controlled within an allowable range within the standard tact, for example, the component a is mounted. When finished, the component b of the adjacent component supply device 5 must be mounted. If the part b is away from the current mounting position of the part a as shown in the figure, an XY table movement loss occurs. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 46B, when the arrangement of the component supply devices 5 is not fixed and is free, when the component a is completely mounted, the component d is within the allowable range from the component a to the standard tact. The component supply device 5 can be arranged next to the component supply device 5 of the component a. That is, the arrangement of the component supply devices 5 in which the movement loss of the XY table 9 does not occur can be achieved. Therefore, when the arrangement of the component supply devices 5 is fixed, there is a higher possibility that a movement loss of the XY table 9 occurs than when the component supply device 5 is not fixed.

  Next, a mounting tact simulation is performed based on the NC data 220 of the neck mounting machine after optimization that has become the determined component mounting order, and a theoretical value of the mounting tact, that is, a line mounting tact is calculated (step S422). The theoretical value of the mounting tact is calculated using (Expression 1) to (Expression 6) described above.

  Next, it is evaluated whether the calculated theoretical value of the line mounting tact achieves the target value (step S423). If the target value is achieved, the optimization process is terminated. If the target value is not achieved, there is a problem in the arrangement of the component supply devices 5 shared among the production types, that is, the common arrangement of the component supply devices 5 (hereinafter referred to as the common component arrangement). Then, assuming that the line mounting tact has not achieved the target value, the process proceeds to step S424 to optimize the common component arrangement.

(B-2) Common Component Array Optimization In step S424, a common component array is created. FIG. 47A shows an example in which a common component array is created. It is created based on the NC data 220 of all the mounting machines on the component mounting line 100 in a production range of a target range (for example, one-day production or one-week production). Here, for the sake of simplicity, description will be made with an example in which only two mounting machines 1 and 2 are mounted on the component mounting line 100 and three types of production are A, B, and C as shown in the figure. It should be noted that the number of circuit boards to be produced is 200 for type A, 120 for type B, 70 for type C, A>B> C, and the order of production is A, B, C. In order.

  47A, the arrangement of the component supply devices 5 of the mounting machine 1 and the mounting machine 2 (Z in the drawing is an arrangement number) is displayed in the order of the types A, B, and C. In the common component arrangement, the arrangement of all the varieties is the same. Among them, the component supply devices 5 for components commonly used among the types are arranged at the same position. Further, for example, in the case of a component that is used only in that type, the component supply device 5 of the component is left in the other type, and the component supply device 5 is not used (for example, the component g of Z7 of the mounting machine 1). Is used only for the product type A, not used for the product types B and C, and the component supply device 5 is arranged as it is). It is assumed that the parts are distributed to the mounting machines 1 and 2 so that the tact balance at the standard mounting tact calculated by the standard tact is obtained for the type A having the largest number of productions. In addition, the arrangement position of the parts supply device 5 for the parts commonly used in a plurality of types is set to be an optimal arrangement in the type having the maximum number of production. For example, the parts a, b, and c are arranged optimally for the product type A. In addition, the arrangement position of the component supply device 5 for the parts that are used only in one type is the optimum arrangement position for the type. For example, the component h is set to an optimum arrangement position for the product type B.

  Next, the component mounting order of each mounting machine n108 of each product type is determined under the condition that the component supply device 5 is fixed with the common component array created in step S424 (step S425). The optimization method is the same as that in step S421.

  Next, a simulation of the total production time for all the target products is performed to calculate the total production time (step S426). This is hereinafter referred to as mounting production tact simulation. A specific calculation method of the mounting production tact simulation will be described with reference to an example of FIG.

  First, as shown in FIG. 47A, the mounting tact of each mounting machine is calculated for each production type. The mounting tact is calculated using (Equation 1) to (Equation 6) as in step S422. The calculated results are shown for each type in the mounting tact column of the mounting machine 1 and the mounting machine 2. And the maximum value of the mounting tact of each mounting machine is the line mounting tact, which is obtained for each product type as shown in the figure. Furthermore, when the line mounting tact is multiplied by the number of productions of the corresponding product, the product production time shown in the figure is obtained. The product type production time is the time required to mount and produce the same number of boards of the product type.

  In addition, based on the number of replacements of the component supply device 5 at the time of product type change, as shown in FIG. In the case of the common component arrangement, the component supply device 5 used in all the target products is mounted on each mounting machine, so that the component supply device 5 is not replaced at all.

  As described above, the total production time is calculated by taking the sum of the product production time of each production product and the product switching time between the production products as a result of the calculation. In step S426, the total production time calculated in the case of FIG. 47 is 506 minutes 20 seconds. The mounting production tact simulation using this common component arrangement is called mounting production tact simulation (1). In step S426, for the sake of simplicity, only the time required for replacement of the component supply device 5 is considered as the product type switching time, but this is not restrictive. For example, the time for selecting the NC data 220 by each mounting machine n108, the time for changing the conveyance width of the circuit board in each mounting machine n108, the time for changing the arrangement of the support pins for supporting the circuit board from the lower side, etc. You may consider the replacement work time.

(B-3) Partial common component arrangement optimization Next to optimization using the common component arrangement, partial common based on NC data 220 of the same production type of each mounting machine in the same component mounting line 100 as in step S424. A component array is created (step S427). In the partial common parts arrangement, the parts supply device 5 for parts used in common among the types is arranged in the same manner, but the parts supply apparatus 5 for parts used only in that type is used in the production of only that type, This is an arrangement of the component supply devices 5 in which part replacement occurs partially.

    FIG. 48A shows an example in which a partial common component array is created. FIG. 48A shows the production of the same circuit board as shown in FIG. 47A with the same line configuration. In FIG. 48A, the arrangement of the component supply devices 5 of the mounting machine 1 and the mounting machine 2 (Z in the drawing is an arrangement number) is displayed in the order of product types A, B, and C. In the partial common component arrangement, the arrangement of the component supply devices 5 for the parts used in common among the varieties in which the production order is continuous is the same. For example, the types A, B, and C of Z1 to Z3 of the mounting machine 1 are the same arrangement. However, the parts supply device 5 for parts that are not used in common among consecutive varieties is arranged only for the varieties, and is replaced when the varieties are changed. For example, as for Z5 of the mounting machine 1, the component supply device 5 for the component e is arranged in the product type A, but when the product becomes the product type B, it is replaced with the component supply device 5 for the component h. Returned to the device 5 again. Similarly, replacement of the component supply device 5 occurs at a location indicated by an arrow in the drawing. It is assumed that the parts are distributed to the mounting machines 1 and 2 so that the tact balance at the standard mounting tact calculated by the standard tact is obtained for the type A having the largest number of productions. In addition, the arrangement position of the parts supply device 5 for the parts commonly used in a plurality of types is set to be an optimal arrangement in the type having the maximum number of production. For example, the parts a, b, and c are arranged optimally for the product type A. In addition, the arrangement position of the component supply device 5 for a component that is used only in one type is set to an optimum arrangement position for the type, and is determined in step S428. For example, the component h is set to an optimum arrangement position for the product type B.

  Next, based on the partial common component arrangement created in step S427, the component supply device 5 having a common arrangement among the types is fixed, and the component supply device 5 for components used only in that type is not fixed. Then, the arrangement of the component supply device 5 relating to the components that are used only in the product type is determined for each mounting machine n108 and each product type (step S428). In the determination of the mounting order and the determination of the arrangement of the component supply device 5 with respect to the components that are used only in the product type, the movement amount of the component supply device 5 is the allowable movement range within the standard tact of the component supply device 5 (Z movement). Consider within the allowable movement range. As the next priority order, the movement amount of the XY table 9 is considered to be within the allowable movement range (XY movement allowable movement range) within the standard tact of the XY table 9.

  Next, a mounting production tact simulation is performed for all target products, and a total production time is calculated (step S429). A specific calculation method of the mounting production tact simulation will be described with reference to FIGS. 48 (a) and 48 (b).

  First, as shown in FIG. 48A, the mounting tact of each mounting machine is calculated for each production type. The mounting tact is calculated using (Equation 1) to (Equation 6) as in step S422. The calculated results are shown for each type in the mounting tact column of the mounting machine 1 and the mounting machine 2. Looking at the values in the figure, the mounting tact is slightly shortened as much as there is a portion that is free and optimized for each product type, compared to the common component arrangement. And the maximum value of the mounting tact of each mounting machine is the line mounting tact, which is obtained for each product type as shown in the figure. Furthermore, when the line mounting tact is multiplied by the number of productions of the corresponding product, the product production time shown in the figure is obtained. The product type production time is the time required to mount and produce the same number of boards of the product type.

In addition, based on the number of replacements of the component supply device 5 at the time of product type change, as shown in FIG. In the figure, the number of replacements of the component supply device 5 when the types A to B and types B to C are switched in the mounting machines 1 and 2 is shown. For example, in the mounting machine 1, replacement of the component supply device 5 at the time of switching the product type from the product type A to B occurs twice, from Z to the component e to the component h and Z6 from the component g to the component f. The time required for one replacement of the component supply device 5 is obtained by reading the speed master 414 (cassette replacement time) from the data storage unit 22 of the service receiving device 1. According to the speed master 414, for example, 180 seconds are required for one replacement of the component supply device 5 of the mounting machine 1, and 240 seconds are required for one replacement of the component supply device 5 of the mounting machine 2. As a result, the type switching time between each type for each mounting machine can be obtained by multiplying the part replacement time obtained from the speed master 414 by the number of parts replacement. For the sake of simplicity, assuming that the product types are switched simultaneously on the component mounting line 100, the maximum product type switching time among the mounting machines 1 and 2 becomes the line product type switching time. In the case shown in the figure, the line type switching time is 8 minutes for both types A to B and types B to C.

  As described above, the total production time is calculated by taking the sum of the product production time of each production product and the product switching time between the production products as a result of the calculation. In step S429, the total production time calculated in the cases of FIGS. 48 (a) and 48 (b) is 483 minutes. The mounting production tact simulation using this partial common component arrangement is called mounting production tact simulation (2).

(B-4) Individual component arrangement optimization Next to the optimization using the partial common part arrangement, the NC data 220 of the same production type of each mounting machine on the same component mounting line 100 as in steps S424 and S427. Based on this, optimization is performed as a line in which the arrangement of all the component supply devices 5 is free (not fixed) for each production type. It should be noted that optimization is performed so that each product type is irrelevant and implemented as a line in the shortest time independently for each product type. That is, the arrangement of the component supply devices 5 that can be mounted in the shortest time individually for each production type is not considered at all. For this purpose, first, in each type, the parts are distributed to the respective mounting machines so as to achieve line tact balance (step S430). The distribution at this time is, for example, the theoretical value of the mounting tact obtained by adding the allowable range value of tact loss of each mounting machine (stored in the operation quality information DB 51, for example, 5% of the standard mounting tact) to the standard mounting tact. In order to balance the mounting tact of each mounting machine, sort the parts. However, it is not limited to this, and it may be balanced by standard mounting tact or balanced by the number of parts mounted. Further, it may be possible to balance with the mounting tact obtained by adding the average value of tactros so far to the standard mounting tact. However, the accuracy of balancing is higher when balancing with the mounting tact in consideration of tact loss.

  Next, the arrangement of the component supply devices 5 and the determination of the component mounting order are performed for each mounting machine to which the components are distributed (step S431). In the determination of the arrangement of the component supply device 5 and the determination of the mounting order, the movement amount of the component supply device 5 is, as a top priority, within the allowable movement range (Z movement allowable movement range) within the standard tact of the component supply device 5. To consider. As the next priority, consideration is given so that the movement amount of the XY table 9 falls within the allowable movement range (XY movement allowable movement range) within the standard tact of the XY table.

  FIG. 49A shows an example of the arrangement of the individual component arrangements determined after step S430 and step S431, that is, the arrangement of the component supply apparatuses 5 after the arrangement of the component supply apparatuses 5 is free for each type. . FIG. 49 (a) is to produce the same circuit board as in FIGS. 47 (a) and 48 (a) with the same line configuration. 49A, the arrangement of the component supply devices 5 of the mounting machine 1 and the mounting machine 2 (Z in the drawing is an arrangement number) is displayed in the order of the types A, B, and C. As shown in the figure, the arrangement of the component supply devices 5 for each type is an optimum arrangement for each type, and the types are independent. Accordingly, the component supply devices 5 of the same component often have different arrangement positions, and the component supply device 5 is frequently replaced.

Next, a mounting production tact simulation is performed for all target products, and a total production time is calculated (step S432). A specific calculation method of the mounting production tact simulation will be described with reference to FIGS. 49A and 49B.

  First, as shown in FIG. 49A, the mounting tact of each mounting machine is calculated for each production type. The mounting tact is calculated using (Equation 1) to (Equation 6) as in step S422. The calculated results are shown for each type in the mounting tact column of the mounting machine 1 and the mounting machine 2. As can be seen from the values in the figure, the mounting tact time is further shortened by the amount of optimization of all the component supply devices 5 for each type as compared with the partially common component arrangement. Generally, the mounting tact is shortened in the partial common component arrangement than in the common component arrangement, and in the individual component arrangement than in the partial common component arrangement. And the maximum value of the mounting tact of each mounting machine is the line mounting tact, which is obtained for each product type as shown in the figure. Furthermore, when the line mounting tact is multiplied by the number of productions of the corresponding product, the product production time shown in the figure is obtained. The product type production time is the time required to mount and produce the same number of boards of the product type.

  In addition, based on the number of replacements of the component supply device 5 at the time of product type change, as shown in FIG. In the figure, the number of replacements of the component supply device 5 when the types A to B and types B to C are switched in the mounting machines 1 and 2 is shown. As shown in the figure, the number of replacements is greater than that of the partially common component arrangement. The time required for one replacement of the component supply device 5 is obtained by reading the speed master 414 (cassette replacement time) from the data area 304 of the storage unit 302 of the service supply device 2. As a result, the type switching time between each type for each mounting machine can be obtained by multiplying the part replacement time obtained from the speed master 414 by the number of parts replacement. For the sake of simplicity, assuming that the product types are switched simultaneously on the component mounting line 100, the maximum product type switching time among the mounting machines 1 and 2 becomes the line product type switching time. In the case shown in the figure, the line type switching time is 20 minutes for switching from type A to B and 16 minutes for switching from type B to C.

  As described above, the total production time is calculated by taking the sum of the product production time of each production product and the product switching time between the production products as a result of the calculation. In step S432, the total production time calculated in the case shown in FIGS. 49A and 49B is 490 minutes 40 seconds. The mounting production tact simulation using this partial common component arrangement is called mounting production tact simulation (3).

(B-5) Optimization Result of Reviewing Common Component Arrangement In step S433, the results of the mounting tact simulations (1) to (3) are evaluated, and the NC data 220 that minimizes the total production time is determined. 47 (a), 47 (b) to 49 (a), 49 (b), the result of the partial common component arrangement is the minimum total production time 483 minutes. Therefore, the NC data 220 subjected to the partial common component arrangement optimization is determined.

  Next, in the production type in which the line mounting tact cannot achieve the target value in the operation status analysis, it is evaluated whether the line mounting tact is improved to achieve the target value by using the NC data 220 determined in step S433 (step S43). S434). If the line mounting tact reaches the target value, the optimization process is terminated. If it is not achieved, the target value cannot be achieved even if the optimization is performed as described above, and there is a possibility that there is a problem in the component arrangement on the circuit board. Alternatively, the configuration of the component mounting line 100 is proposed to have a higher capability (step S435). Alternatively, if the total production time can achieve the target, that is, if the production plan can be achieved, the NC data 220 after optimization is adopted assuming that the line mounting tact does not achieve the target only for the corresponding product type. .

If the line mounting tact achieves the target value, naturally, not only the corresponding production type but also the optimized NC data of other production types is adopted.

  Also, in the examples shown in FIGS. 47 (a), 47 (b) to 49 (a), 49 (b), for the sake of simplicity, it is assumed that the mounting speed is single, and the grouping of the mounting speed is touched. However, if there are parts with different mounting speeds, it is necessary to arrange the parts supply apparatus in order from high to low. Similarly, the following NC data optimization cases will be described assuming that the mounting speed is single for simplicity. However, if there are components with different mounting speeds, it is necessary to arrange the component supply devices 5 in order from the high mounting speed to the low mounting speed.

  In the above example, the common part arrangement method is used, such as a common part arrangement for a common part arrangement and a partial common part arrangement for a partial common part arrangement in all types. The part arrangement method may be changed. For example, in the case of producing continuously with varieties A, B, C, D, and E, it is assumed that the number of produced pieces is small up to varieties A, B, and C, and the number of produced pieces is large for varieties D and E. In that case, the types A, B, and C are arranged as a common component arrangement, and the types D and E are arranged as individual components. In this way, if the types are divided into groups according to the number of production and the part arrangement method is switched halfway, it is possible to optimize the fine part arrangement that further shortens the total production time.

(C) Optimization operation in step S309 The optimization operation in step S309 will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

  The purpose of the optimization in step S309 is to correct the distribution of parts so that line tact balance is achieved.

  First, the mounting component is moved by the component supply device 5 unit so that the mounting tact actual value is equalized from the mounting machine having a large mounting tact actual value to the mounting machine having a small mounting tact actual value. For example, as many mounting parts as possible to achieve line tact balance are moved from the neck mounting machine to another mounting machine (step S441). At this time, for example, the mounting parts of the neck mounting machine are gradually moved to the mounting machine with the smallest mounting tact, so that the mounting tacts of all the mounting machines finally fall within the allowable range. In addition, the calculation of the mounting tact of each mounting machine after moving the part is only a temporary calculation. The tact of the part increased due to movement is added to the mounting tact before moving the part, or the mounting tact before moving the part is moved. The tact of the parts reduced by The tact of the moving part at this time is a standard tact or a tact obtained by multiplying a standard tact by a ratio including a predetermined tact loss.

  Next, in each mounting machine n108 for which the component distribution has been corrected, the arrangement of the component supply devices 5 and the component mounting order are determined (step S442). In the determination of the arrangement of the component supply device 5 and the determination of the mounting order, the movement amount of the component supply device 5 is, as a top priority, within the allowable movement range (Z movement allowable movement range) within the standard tact of the component supply device 5. To consider. As the next priority order, the movement amount of the XY table 9 is considered to be within the allowable movement range (XY movement allowable movement range) within the standard tact of the XY table 9.

  Next, a mounting tact simulation is performed based on the determined arrangement of the component supply devices 5 and the NC data 220 of each optimized mounting machine n108 in the component mounting order, and a theoretical value of the mounting tact of each mounting machine n108, The line mounting tact is calculated (step S443). The theoretical value of the mounting tact is calculated using (Expression 1) to (Expression 6) described above.

Next, as a result of the mounting tact simulation, it is evaluated whether the line tact balance is within an allowable range (step S444). If the line tact balance is within the allowable range, it is evaluated whether the line mounting tact achieves the target value (step S445). If the line mounting tact reaches the target value, the optimization process is terminated. If it is not achieved, the target value cannot be achieved even if the optimization is performed as described above, and there is a possibility that there is a problem in the component arrangement on the circuit board. Alternatively, the configuration of the component mounting line 100 is proposed to have higher capability (step S446). Although omitted in FIG. 50, if the line mounting tact does not reach the target value in step S445, the tact loss is evaluated again, and if there is a tact loss, optimization is performed for each mounting machine. May be.

  If the line tact balance is not within the allowable range in step S444, the cause is examined. First, because there are parts that are used more than other parts, that is, since the minimum unit of parts to be distributed is a considerable number of parts, there is a phenomenon that the mounting tact of the mounting machine that distributes the parts protrudes. It is checked whether there is any (step S447). If so, the process proceeds to step S449. If not, the process proceeds to step S448. In step S448, it is examined whether the cause is that the tact loss of the neck mounting machine is large. If the cause is that the tact loss of the neck mounting machine is large, the process proceeds to step S450. If not, the process returns to step S441, and steps S441 to S443 are performed again to evaluate again whether the tact balance is within the allowable range. .

  In step S449, the number of parts that are used in large numbers is increased so as to be shared by a plurality of parts supply apparatuses 5. At this time, for example, as shown in FIG. 44, the components that are largely dispersed on the circuit board may be divided so as to be supplied by a plurality of component supply devices 5. After step S449, the process returns to step S441, and the distribution correction is performed again. Then, step S442 and step S443 are performed, and it is evaluated again whether the tact balance is within the allowable range.

  In step S450, in the neck mounting machine, as shown in FIG. 44, the components that are largely dispersed on the circuit board are added so as to be shared by the plurality of component supply devices 5. Thereby, the movement loss of the XY table 9 can be reduced.

  Following step S450, the arrangement of the component supply devices 5 and the component mounting order are determined in the neck mounting machine (step S451). In the determination of the arrangement of the component supply device 5 and the determination of the mounting order, the movement amount of the component supply device 5 is, as a top priority, within the allowable movement range (Z movement allowable movement range) within the standard tact of the component supply device 5. To consider. As the next priority order, the movement amount of the XY table 9 is considered to be within the allowable movement range (XY movement allowable movement range) within the standard tact of the XY table 9.

  Next, a mounting tact simulation is performed on the basis of the determined arrangement of the component supply device 5 and the NC data 220 of the neck mounting machine after the optimization in the component mounting order, and the theoretical value of the mounting tact of the neck mounting machine, that is, A line mounting tact is calculated (step S452). The theoretical value of the mounting tact is calculated using (Expression 1) to (Expression 6) described above. Following step S452, in step S444, it is evaluated again whether the line tact balance is within the allowable range.

(D) Optimization operation in step S310 The purpose of optimization in step S310 is to correct the distribution of parts so that line tact balance is achieved. However, since it is already considered to arrange the common component supply device 5 among the types, optimization similar to step S307 is performed to review the common component arrangement. Review the distribution of parts to each mounting machine. However, in the flowchart of FIG. 45, the processing after step S424 is performed. That is, the common part arrangement, the partial common part arrangement, and the individual part arrangement optimization shown in FIGS. 47 (a), 47 (b) to 49 (a), 49 (b) are performed, respectively, and the total production time is minimized. Select optimization results that become Others are similar to the optimization in step S307.

(E) Optimization operation in step S312 The optimization operation in step S312 will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

  The purpose of the optimization in step S312 is to keep the tact loss of each mounting machine on the component mounting line 100 within an allowable range so that the line mounting tact achieves the target value.

  First, in each mounting machine, the arrangement of the component supply devices 5 and the component mounting order are determined (step S461). In the determination of the arrangement of the component supply device 5 and the determination of the mounting order, the movement amount of the component supply device 5 is, as a top priority, within the allowable movement range (Z movement allowable movement range) within the standard tact of the component supply device 5. To consider. As the next priority order, the movement amount of the XY table 9 is considered to be within the standard tact allowable movement range (XY movement allowable movement range) of the XY table 9.

  Next, a mounting tact simulation is performed based on the determined arrangement of the component supply devices 5, the NC data 220 of each of the optimized mounting machines in the component mounting order, and a theoretical value of the mounting tact of each mounting machine n108, and A line mounting tact is calculated (step S462). The theoretical value of the mounting tact is calculated using (Expression 1) to (Expression 6) described above.

  Next, as a result of the mounting tact simulation, it is evaluated whether the line mounting tact achieves the target value (step S463). If the line mounting tact reaches the target value, the optimization process is terminated. If not achieved, it is evaluated whether the line tact balance is within an allowable range (step S464). If the line tact balance is not within the allowable range, the process proceeds to step S465 to investigate the cause. If the line tact balance is within the allowable range, the process proceeds to step S472.

  First, in step S465, since there are parts that are used more than other parts, that is, the minimum unit of parts to be distributed is a considerable number of parts, the mounting tact of the mounting machine that has distributed the parts protrudes. Investigate whether the phenomenon is occurring. If so, the process proceeds to step S467. If not, the process proceeds to step S466. In step S466, it is checked whether or not the cause is that the tact loss of the neck mounting machine is large. If the cause is that the tact loss of the neck mounting machine is large, the process proceeds to step S469. If not, the component sorting is corrected in step S468. The correction of component sorting is to move as many mounting components as possible to achieve line tact balance from a mounting machine having a large mounting tact to a mounting machine having a small mounting tact. At this time, for example, the mounting parts of the neck mounting machine are moved little by little from the mounting machine with the smallest mounting tact, so that the mounting tacts of all the mounting machines finally fall within the allowable range. When the component sorting is corrected, the process returns to step S461, and the arrangement of the component supply devices 5 and the component mounting order of each mounting machine are determined again.

  In step S467, the parts used in large numbers are divided so as to be supplied by a plurality of parts supply apparatuses 5. At this time, for example, as shown in FIG. 44, it is possible to increase the number of components that are largely dispersed on the circuit board so that the components are supplied by a plurality of component supply devices 5. After the addition, in step S468, the component sorting is corrected, and the process returns to step S461.

  In step S469, in the neck mounting machine, as shown in FIG. 44, the components that are largely dispersed on the circuit board are added so as to be shared by the plurality of component supply devices 5. Thereby, the movement loss of the XY table 9 can be reduced.

Subsequent to step S469, in the neck mounting machine, the arrangement of the component supply devices 5 and the component mounting order are determined (step S470). In the determination of the arrangement of the component supply device 5 and the determination of the mounting order, the movement amount of the component supply device 5 is, as a top priority, within the allowable movement range (Z movement allowable movement range) within the standard tact of the component supply device 5. To consider. As the next priority order, the movement amount of the XY table 9 is considered to be within the standard tact allowable movement range (XY movement allowable movement range) of the XY table 9.

  Next, a mounting tact simulation is performed on the basis of the determined arrangement of the component supply device 5 and the NC data 220 of the neck mounting machine after the optimization in the component mounting order, and the theoretical value of the mounting tact of the neck mounting machine, that is, A line mounting tact is calculated (step S471). The theoretical value of the mounting tact is calculated using (Expression 1) to (Expression 6) described above. After step S471, it is evaluated again in step S463 whether the line mounting tact has achieved the target value.

  In step S472, it is checked whether there is at least one mounting machine that has a line tact balance but does not have a tact loss within an allowable range. If so, in the mounting machine in which the tact loss is not within the allowable range, as shown in FIG. 44, the parts that are largely dispersed on the circuit board are added so as to be shared by the plurality of component supply devices 5 (step S473). Thereby, the movement loss of the XY table 9 can be reduced. After the addition, in step S468, the component sorting is corrected, and the process returns to step S461.

  In step S472, if there is no mounting machine whose tact loss is not within the allowable range, the target value cannot be achieved even if optimization is performed as described above, which may indicate a problem in component placement on the circuit board. Therefore, we propose to modify the circuit design. Alternatively, the configuration of the component mounting line 100 is proposed to have a higher capability.

(F) Optimization operation in step S313 The purpose of optimization in step S313 is to keep the tact loss of each mounting machine n108 in the component mounting line 100 within an allowable range so that the line mounting tact achieves the target value. It is. Therefore, processing similar to the optimization in step S307 is performed based on the flowchart shown in FIG. However, the difference from the optimization in step S307 is that all mounting machines in the component mounting line 100 are targeted in steps S421 and S422. That is, after determining the mounting order under the condition that the arrangement of the component supply devices 5 of all mounting machines is fixed, a mounting tact simulation of all mounting machines is performed to evaluate whether the line mounting tact achieves the target value. If the target value is not achieved, the common component arrangement, the partial common component arrangement, the individual arrangement shown in FIGS. 47 (a) and (b) to FIG. Each part arrangement optimization is performed, and an optimization result that minimizes the total production time is selected. Others are similar to the optimization in step S307.

(G) Optimization Operation in Step S316 The purpose of the optimization in Step S316 is to make the component supply devices 5 common so that the product type switching time is reduced. Therefore, processing similar to the optimization in step S307 is performed based on the flowchart shown in FIG. However, in FIG. 45, it starts from step S424. 47 (a), 47 (b) to 49 (a), 49 (b), the common component arrangement, the partial common component arrangement, and the individual component arrangement are respectively optimized, and the total production time is minimized. Select optimization results that become

  The goal is to maintain the line operation rate target by shortening the product changeover time, but it is important to work with the minimum total production time. It is best that the total production time is minimized and the product type change time is shortened, but even if the product type change time is not shortened, it may be judged that the total production time is the minimum.

(H) Optimization Operation at Step S323 The optimization operation at Step S323 will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

  The purpose of the optimization in step S323 is to eliminate the movement loss of the component supply device 5, reduce the vibration of the moving table 6 on which the component supply device 5 is mounted, and eliminate the decrease in the suction rate of the component suction nozzle 7. .

  In step S <b> 481, the current arrangement of the component supply devices 5 is fixed as it is, and the order in which the components of the same component supply device 5 are successively mounted is set. In other words, the mounting order is such that only after all the components of one component supply device 5 have been mounted, the components are moved to the adjacent component supply device 5. In this way, the amount of movement of the component supply device 5 can be minimized, and a decrease in the adsorption rate due to vibration of the component supply device 5 can be prevented.

  In step S482, the mounting order for mounting the components of the same component supply apparatus 5 is set so that the movement of the XY table 9 is within the standard tact movement allowable range. If it does not fall within the standard tact movement allowable range, the movement of the XY table 9 is minimized.

  In particular, in the case of the high-speed mounting machine 108a in which the standard tact is mounted in 0.2 seconds or less, the mounting order for strictly limiting the movement amount of the component supply device 5 depends on the vibration of the component supply unit 11. This is effective in preventing a decrease in adsorption rate. However, in this case, since the movement loss of the XY table 9 is slightly increased by strictly limiting the movement amount of the component supply device 5, the mounting tact is delayed. However, it is common in this case to give priority to the prevention of quality troubles such as a decrease in adsorption rate.

(I) Optimization operation in step S331 The optimization operation in step S331 will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

  The purpose of the optimization in step S331 is to disperse the reduction amount of parts by adding a plurality of parts supply apparatuses 5 for parts that are frequently used, so that parts are not cut out during production.

  First, in each component supply device 5 used in the mounting machine n108, the number of components used in the production type of the circuit board is estimated (step S501). For this purpose, first, when the number of steps for each part of the NC program 221 is counted, the number of parts used for each part supply device 5 used for mounting one circuit board is obtained. Multiplying the number of parts used by each part supply device 5 by the number of produced parts of that kind yields the number of parts used in the produced kind.

  When the number of parts used is compared with the number of remaining parts in the parts supply device 5, it can be determined whether or not parts are out of production during the production of the product type (step S502). If the number of parts used is larger, the parts supply device 5 will run out of parts during production of the product type.

  In step S502, if there is a component supply device 5 in which component breakage occurs, the component supply device 5 is divided so as to be supplied by a plurality of component supply devices 5 (step S503). The number of expansions is set so that the value obtained by dividing the number of parts used by the number of expansions is less than the number of remaining parts.

  Next, the mounting machine single unit optimization is performed in the NC data 220 after division of the component supply device 5 (step S504), and the process is terminated.

If production is performed with NC data 220 that has been optimized in this way, parts will not run out during production.
(3) Details of Service Regarding Mounting Method DB 328 Here, an example of creating cream solder information in the mounting method DB 328 shown in FIG. 25 and details of the service method will be described.

  There are numerous parameters in cream solder printing conditions, and it is difficult to select and realize the optimum conditions. Traditionally, manufacturers have individually dealt with new startups, product changes, trouble resolution, quality and productivity improvements on the user side by unspecified engineers. For this reason, not only for each customer but also for the same customer, the printing conditions to be executed vary, and the productivity and quality are not stable.

  In this example, a solder characteristic DB 328a relating to the solder characteristic of cream solder as shown in FIG. 54 and a printing condition DB 328b relating to performance data relating to the printing conditions as shown in FIG. 55 are adopted as cream solder information. Therefore, the service supply device 2 searches the service reception device 1 for the solder property data from the solder property DB 328a shown in FIG. 54 and the search service for searching the print condition data from the print condition DB 328b shown in FIG. We provide support services that accept requests and inquiries about new launches, product changes, trouble resolution, quality and productivity improvements. As a result, the user can easily obtain appropriate cream solder information and printing conditions corresponding to the problems at the time of launching cream solder printing, changing product types, and solving troubles. It can respond correctly. In addition, if desired, the service provider can request a unique improvement in quality and productivity to upgrade the version.

  At the same time, on the service supply device 2 side, data relating to cream solder printing input by the service person himself / herself on the service supply device 2 side, or actual data relating to cream solder printing on the user side with respect to the service receiving device 1 Are collected and accumulated, and printing is performed while creating print condition DBs 328b1, 328b2,... Corresponding to each type of substrate or a combination of the type of substrate and the number of production as shown in FIG. Corresponding operations such as condition, printing status, status monitoring, analysis, evaluation, countermeasure, and improvement are performed by an engineer and reflected in the printing condition DBs 328b1, 328b2,. As a result, the service provider side selects the user side or the service provider side and collectively manages the printing conditions that have been executed, and treats it as a common data regardless of the engineer, resulting in systematized data. The latest and more consistent printing conditions can be provided to improve and stabilize the quality and productivity of cream solder printing. In addition, services for requested countermeasures and improvements can be accurately performed based on a wide range of performance data and printing status or status. In other words, it is possible to converge the printing results DBB 328b1, 328b2,... While keeping the evaluation results as needs, contributing to the development of new functions. At the same time, without any user request, a program or engineer discovers problems through voluntary monitoring, analysis, and evaluation, and proposes technologies and information that have been upgraded from service providers by taking countermeasures and improving them. Also realized. It is also possible to provide the service individually by creating and storing customer-specific data by performing the above-described correspondence for each required item or for each item.

In the service supply apparatus 2 as a result of such a corresponding work, when it is determined that the newly input and registered data, status, and situation are appropriate or stable, for each board shown in FIG. The basic DBs 328 c 1, 328 c 2... Are moved to the basic DBs 328 c 1, 328 c 2... For updating or upgrading the data, and the basic DBs 328 c 1, 328 c 2. . As a result, the latest performance data from the user side that has been input is reflected in the service content at an early stage, but only the data judged to be appropriate or stable is used for the user side, so improper performance data is widely used. It is possible to prevent such a situation. However, it is also desirable to provide new data because it is desirable to optimize and stabilize the new data at an early stage with a wide track record. In this case, it is preferable to refuse the new data. In this way, new data can be used effectively regardless of whether it is public or not, and the user is prompted to input even new data.

  Such services are more effective as they are deployed in a wide range of networks, and globalization is desired. However, it is not different from the above case that only the contractor can receive the service by the ID management and the security is provided by making a difference in the contents of the service that can be received depending on the contract level. However, the conditions under which the service is provided are not limited to this.

  It should be noted that it is preferable to provide data processing for other elements such as bonding conditions and reflow conditions in the same manner. However, a specific description is omitted here.

  The solder characteristic DB 328a shown in FIG. 54 is finished as standard data on the service provider side, and is accumulated while adding or recording new data whenever there is new data, and used for retrieval from the user side. Information items to be handled include, for example, cream solder manufacturer, cream solder product number, cream solder particle size (MAX / MIN) and viscosity, remarks such as cream solder average particle size, flux type, flux content, as shown in the figure. Thixo ratio, chlorine content, corresponding pitch, alloy composition, solder items. Here, the thixo ratio is a ratio of a change in viscosity when stress is applied to a viscous body, and indicates a degree of a property that increases fluidity when stirred and returns to an original state when left standing. The corresponding pitch is the corresponding pitch of cream solder recommended by the manufacturer for each product number, that is, the pitch between leads or the pitch between electrodes of a QFP electronic component to be soldered. The alloy composition refers to an alloy composition that causes a change in the properties of cream solder depending on the presence or absence, and the presence or absence of lead is a typical example. The solder item describes the characteristics of cream solder, and is a specification recommended by the manufacturer corresponding to the product number, such as high-speed printing, most shipments, and lead-free compatibility. The flux type is the type of flux that is used and affects the thixo ratio. The thixo ratio is related to the kinematic viscosity of the solder during printing. In general, when the flux content is high, the viscosity of the cream solder decreases.

  The print condition DBs 328b1, 328b2,... Shown in FIG. 55 are created and stored based on the results data input from the user side. Data items handled include, for example, solder manufacturer, cream solder part number, printing speed, squeegee type, printing pressure (F / R) plate separation operation, plate separation distance, plate separation speed, customer name, screen mask as shown in the figure. , Screen mask thickness, screen cap, support method, temperature in equipment, cleaning mode, cleaning frequency, etc., mask scraping, 0.5QFP, 0.4QFP, 0.3QFP, etc., input date, charge, Remarks.

Here, the squeegee type is the type of squeegee and the moving speed, and there are different types of urethane, metal, and resin, and the moving speed is different between high speed and low speed. The printing pressure is a pressing force applied to the screen mask when the squeegee moves, and is input in two ways: a front squeegee F and a rear squeegee R. The plate separation operation is an operation mode of plate separation, and is divided into constant speed, multi-stage, and lifting / lowering. One condition is set when the plate separation distance and the plate separation speed are constant speed, and 10 is set for multi-stage and lifting / lowering. You can fill in conditions. When the customer name adopts a screen mask or the like different from the customer who uses the printing press provided by the service provider, the customer name is recognized and stored in order to convert it into data. For this reason, when the customer name is unknown, the user side is requested to input. Enter the model number, manufacturing method, minimum pattern, etc. on the screen as much as possible. The screen gap is the gap between the screen mask at the time of printing and the substrate on which the cream solder is printed. Normally, the substrate lifts the screen mask slightly. ing. The support method is a substrate support type, and there are support pins, support plates, and suction blocks. In the cleaning mode, the combination of dry cleaning D and wet cleaning W for each cleaning is entered, and DD, WD, WW, DD-D, W -W-WD, WDDD, WDDD The number of cleanings is the cleaning frequency for each printed board. Mask scraping is a state of scraping with a screen mask squeegee, scraping may be insufficient, continuous scraping may be left in the movement direction of the squeegee, or scraping residue may be distributed in various points Enter XX as the quality of scraping. However, because the cause of printing pressure deficiency, unevenness, rattling, scratches, etc. varies depending on the state of scraping failure, it is preferable to specifically write in sentences, drawings, photographs, and the like. 0.5QFP, 0.4QFP, and 0.3QFP indicate the pitch between leads of QFP electronic parts in mm by numbers, respectively, and at each pitch, bridge and print due to excessive printing on a minute part of cream solder Indicate whether there is a print defect such as thinness due to shortage, a slight defect, or a good one by XX. However, this entry can be made without being limited to the above-mentioned 0.5 QPF, 0.4 QPF, and 0.3 QPF. Also, after the printed squeegee is attached to the edge and the solder paste is hanging down, the solder paste is crushed and turns to the back side of the squeegee when it is pressed against the screen again for printing. The degree of printing deficiency that is likely to occur due to the presence or degree of influence of cream solder drag, which adheres to various places on the screen and adversely affects the remaining printing results, or due to printing over the entire surface of the package In the same way, use the remarks for bad, slightly good, and good. Others are requested from the service side as required, or the user side data entered without being requested is entered. For example, the type of substrate, the number of produced sheets, etc. may be entered here. The input date is the date on which the data is input, the person in charge is the person in charge of the input, and the remarks are remark data other than the other items described above, which are useful for managing the input data.

  The operations for searching for the solder characteristic data as described above and inputting and registering the adoption data of the solder characteristics and the printing conditions are performed by, for example, setting the cream printing information service home page on the WEB screen 25 of the service receiving apparatus 1 for ID management. The drawing is performed based on the selection operation on the menu screen as shown in FIG. In the menu screen shown in the figure, a solder characteristic data input button 1001, a printing condition data input button 1002, a search button 1003, and a registration button 1004 are displayed. These selection operations enable access to the solder property DB 328a and the printing condition DB 328b shown in FIGS. 54 and 55 on the service supply apparatus 2 side.

  In each characteristic item of the solder characteristic DB 328a shown in FIG. 54, the printing conditions are substantially determined by the solder product number, particle size, and viscosity. The product number is located at the top of each characteristic item, and the highest priority is given to searching for those items. When the product number is unknown or when the desired solder manufacturer and solder product number cannot be searched, the accuracy is high even if the product number is searched by the particle size or viscosity. Therefore, the solder part number is regarded as an essential matter so that the most efficient search is performed, but when the solder manufacturer and the solder part number are unknown, the grain size or the viscosity is prioritized as a semi-essential matter, and the solder part number is retrieved. Thereafter, other solder characteristic data can be sequentially retrieved as lower data thereof. Of course, it is possible to search from any other item such as the corresponding pitch.

The procedure of the search operation of this example will be specifically described based on the flowchart shown in FIG. For the sake of simplicity of explanation, the operation of searching from all items is omitted, and only the operation of re-searching by the particle size and viscosity when the search cannot be performed with the highest priority given to the solder part number will be described. The search is started by the selection operation of the search button 1003 on the WEB screen 25, and all items below the solder manufacturer shown in FIG. 54 are displayed on the WEB screen 25 at once (1000). As a result, the necessary selection items become clear at a glance. However, it is necessary to clarify the priority of the search. In order to do this, it is displayed and guided by at least one of the character size, arrangement order, numbering, etc. of the item. Such guidance can also be done by displaying one by one from text guidance, the one with the highest priority, and displaying the next ranking item when it is unknown and an update operation is performed.

  The solder product number is input, and the search for the lower solder characteristic items with respect to the solder characteristic DB 328a is started, and the search items are displayed on the screen for the target items, which are selected and determined (S1001). When it is determined that the search is completed or there is an input (S1002), the determination result by the search is output, for example, by outputting a document to a printer (S1008), and the process ends.

  If the search is performed based on particle size, viscosity, etc., and the number of hits becomes, for example, 100 or more, the search can be further narrowed down by specifying other items.

  On the other hand, if the solder product number is not known or if the desired search cannot be performed even if the solder product number is entered, the particle size and viscosity are input to the solder property information DB 328a by the input of the next priority particle size and viscosity. First, the search for the solder product number is performed (S1003). When the search result is output to the WEB screen 25 (S1004), the nearest solder product number is selected and determined (S1005). Next, a search is made for solder characteristics lower than the solder product number, particle size, and viscosity. If the number of hits is enormous, other items are designated and narrowed down as many times as necessary (S1006). If it is determined that the search is completed or there is an input (S1007), the determination result by the search is output by, for example, a printer (S1008) and the process is terminated.

  A construction method program corresponding to the search result can be downloaded from the service supply apparatus, and the construction method program can be input to the printing machine.

  Next, according to the flowchart shown in FIG. 58, creation of printing condition DBs 328b1, 328b2,..., Basic DBs 328c1, 328c2,. A case where a service is performed will be described.

  In the service supply device 2, for example, performance data, printing status and status data, startup, troubles, and inquiries about improvements and requests from users around the world are input and registered every moment. Come. Therefore, each time a registration operation of these inputs is received (S1011), it is determined whether or not it is new data (for example, data input for a new solder product number, board, etc.) (S1012). If it is not new data, the process directly returns to (S1011), and if the input data is new data, additional registration or update registration is performed in the corresponding printing condition DB 328b1... (S1013). Next, the printing condition DB 328b1... And the basic DB 328c1... Of which the optimized or stabilized data is transferred and stored are automatically monitored according to the program or monitored by the engineer or both, and the printing conditions and printing are monitored. Analysis or evaluation of the state or the relationship with the situation is performed (S1014). As a result of analysis and evaluation, among the new data registered in the printing condition DB 328 b 1..., Data determined to be appropriate or stable (S 1015) is moved to the basic DB 328 c 1. ) For viewing and use from the user side. If the data still needs to be changed, the system waits as it is, or issues a data change request to the user and prompts the user to set data again (S1017). Next, if there is a request from the user side (S1018), or if a problem is found spontaneously in the monitoring, analysis, and evaluation, the problem is solved automatically or automatically by a technician according to the program (S1019). If this is solved, it is proposed to the user who requested it, and is reflected in the printing condition DB 328b1... And the basic DB 328c1.

  Here, even if the new data overlaps with the same solder product number, substrate, grain size, viscosity, etc. as those already registered in S1014, it is desirable to register them separately from those already registered. In that case, you may distinguish, for example with the additional number which distinguishes them with respect to a solder product number. By doing so, printing condition data of various patterns can be stored as being suitable for the conditions at that time even with the same substrate and solder product number. From the accumulated data, it is possible to sort out which one is optimal based on the evaluation result.
