(Step S10).

  Subsequently, the component distribution calculation unit 83 of the data creation device 80 calculates the number of feeders that can be allocated to each machine (mounting machine) 10 constituting the mounting line 90 (step S12). The number of feeders that can be assigned is the quantity of component supply devices (tape feeders, etc.) 31 that can be attached to each mounting machine 10. ing.

  In this embodiment, in the calculation of the number of feeders that can be allocated, for the machine (mounting machine) 10 to which the disposal conveyor (part collection device) 35 that is an optional device can be attached, the space occupied when the disposal conveyor 35 is attached. In order to secure this in advance, the space for the waste conveyor 35 is excluded from the number of feeders that can be allocated.

  When the number of feeders that can be assigned to each machine (mounting machine) 10 is obtained, mounting work (parts) to be distributed to each machine 10 is set on the board to be produced (step S14). For this distribution, any known optimization means can be appropriately employed as described above. The distribution of the mounting work (components) determined here is only one proposal. As will be described later, a distribution plan of a plurality of mounting works (components) is tried and the final distribution is determined.

  Thus, if a mounting operation (component) is assigned to each machine (mounting machine) 10..., The distribution plan is sent from the data creation device 80 to each mounting machine 10. Then, whether or not the parts (mounting work) allocated to each mounting machine 10 include those using the disposal conveyor (optional device) 35 by the option necessity determination unit 73 of each mounting machine 10 is determined. It is determined whether or not each mounting machine 10 requires a disposal conveyor 35, and the placement of the disposal conveyor 35 is validated in the mounting machine 10 that is determined to require the disposal conveyor 35 (step S16).

  Subsequently, in each machine (mounting machine) 10..., The feeder arrangement setting unit 74 sets the arrangement of the component supply devices 31 used for the distributed mounting work. At this time, depending on whether or not the disposal conveyor (optional device) 35 is necessary, if the disposal conveyor 35 is required, the arrangement of the component supply device 31 including the disposal conveyor 35 is set (step S18). Arrangement of this component supply device 31 can employ any known optimization means as appropriate as described above.

  Specifically, in this embodiment, as described above, when the disposal conveyor (optional device) 35 is used, the mounting position thereof is set in advance. Therefore, when the disposal conveyor 35 is used, the disposal conveyor 35 is first set in advance. Arrangement of the component supply device 31 is set for the remaining attachment positions.

  On the other hand, when the disposal conveyor (optional device) 35 is not used, the arrangement of the component supply devices 31 is set for all the attachment positions including the attachment positions set in advance for the disposal conveyor 35. For this reason, when an optional device such as the disposal conveyor 35 is not required, the optional device is arranged, so that a situation in which a part of the component supply device mounting portion 33 is occupied is prevented in advance. The arrangement of the component supply device 31 that effectively uses the space of the attachment portion can be set.

  When the arrangement of the component supply devices 31 is set in each machine (mounting machine) 10 in this way, the expected mounting time in each machine 10 is obtained by the mounting time simulator 76 of each machine 10, and the mounting time simulator of the data creation device 80. 85, the expected mounting time of the entire mounting line 90 is obtained (step S20).

  A series of trials based on a plan of distributing parts (mounting work) to each of the machines (mounting machines) 10 is repeatedly performed until a predetermined number of trials (for example, 10 times) is reached (NO in step S22). In each trial, the number of parts distributed to each machine 10 is recalculated so that the expected mounting time (load) of each machine 10 is equalized based on the expected mounting time calculated in the previous trials. (Step S24).

  On the other hand, when the specified number of trials is reached, the expected mounting time of the entire mounting line 90 is short, and the highest evaluation result (arrangement of the component supply device 31 and the optional device based on the distribution of component mounting work) is adopted. (Step S26).

  The result adopted in this manner is stored in the mounting program storage means 75 of each mounting machine 10 as a part of the mounting program, and information on the set component supply device 31 and the arrangement of the optional devices is notified by the display unit 98. The If a setup operation based on the notification content is performed by an operator or the like, a component mounting operation on a board to be produced is executed based on the mounting program.

  As described above, according to this embodiment, the arrangement of the optional device 35 is set together with the component supply device 31 according to the necessity of the disposal conveyor (optional device) 35 in the mounting operation of the substrate W to be produced. When the device 35 is not required, the option device 35 can prevent a situation where a part of the component supply device mounting portion 33 is occupied, and an appropriate arrangement of the component supply device 31 can be set to improve production efficiency. Can be planned.

  In addition, since the component C that requires the waste conveyor (optional device) 35 is stored in advance, the necessity of the waste conveyor (optional device) 35 is reliably determined and a suitable arrangement of the component supply device 31 is set. be able to.

  Moreover, since the disposal conveyor 35 which is a parts collection apparatus can be attached as an optional apparatus, for example, the disposal conveyor (parts collection apparatus) 35 can be attached and collected according to the presence or absence of an expensive part C or the like that is desired to be collected.
