Description

  The present invention relates to a component mounting apparatus for mounting a component supplied from a component supply unit and a sampling management method for the component supply unit.

  Many component mounting apparatuses for mounting components such as electronic components on a substrate have been provided. In the component mounting apparatus, a component supply unit such as a tape feeder or a component tray is detachably mounted on a component supply unit of the apparatus, and extraction of the component supply unit from the component supply unit is regulated by a lock mechanism. Then, the component supplied from the component supply unit is sucked at the lower end portion of the suction nozzle, and is moved to a position above the component mounting position of the substrate by the suction nozzle. Thereafter, the suction nozzle descends toward the component mounting position, whereby the component is landed on the upper surface of the substrate and mounted on the component mounting position of the substrate.

  By the way, when the component supply unit is out of operation while the component mounting apparatus is in operation, it is necessary to remove the component supply unit from the component mounting apparatus and replace it. Further, if a component supply unit mounting error occurs, this becomes a cause of deterioration in the suction rate (the ratio of suction mistake to the number of suction). In this case, it is necessary to remove the component supply unit once and mount it again.

  In this way, when the component supply unit is extracted from the component mounting apparatus, the extraction restriction by the lock mechanism is released. For example, in the apparatus described in Patent Document 1, lock detection means is provided, and when the release of the lock mechanism is performed in order to perform the extraction operation of the component supply unit, it is detected. Then, the apparatus changes the mounting operation of the apparatus in response to the lock release signal output from the lock detection means, and thereby the suction nozzle accesses the component supply unit that is the object of the sampling operation. Is preventing.

JP 2009-64933 A (for example, [0019] to [0022])

  In the above prior art, the part supply unit is extracted regardless of the operation of the suction nozzle. For this reason, for example, when the suction nozzle is accessing the component supply unit to be extracted, the operator may extract the component supply unit. In this case, depending on the extraction timing, it is necessary to urgently stop the movement of the suction nozzle in order to prevent the suction nozzle from interfering with the component supply unit being extracted. In the worst case, the suction nozzle may interfere with the component supply unit and cause a device failure.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above problem, and an object thereof is to provide a component mounting apparatus and a component supply unit extraction management method that can extract a component supply unit without interfering with a suction nozzle.

  A first aspect of the present invention is a component mounting apparatus, in which a component supply unit to which a component supply unit is detachably mounted, a suction nozzle that absorbs a component supplied from the component supply unit, and extraction of the component supply unit A receiving unit that accepts a sampling request for requesting, and a control unit that regulates the removal of the component supply unit during a component suction operation for sucking a component by the suction nozzle when the receiving unit receives the sampling request. It is characterized by that.

  According to a second aspect of the present invention, there is provided a sampling management method for a component supply unit that is detachably attached to a component supply unit, wherein a component suction step for sucking a component supplied from the component supply unit by a suction nozzle And a regulation process for regulating the extraction of the component supply unit until the component adsorption process is completed when a sampling request for requesting the extraction of the component supply unit is received.

  In the component mounting apparatus, the component supply unit is detachably attached to the component supply unit, and the component supplied from the component supply unit is sucked by the suction nozzle. For this reason, if the extraction operation of the component supply unit is performed during component adsorption, the component supply unit may interfere with the adsorption nozzle. Therefore, in the present invention, when there is a sampling request for extracting the component supply unit, the component supply unit is configured to absorb the component supplied from the component supply unit with the suction nozzle until the so-called component adsorption is completed. Extraction is regulated. For this reason, the component supply unit can be safely removed while reliably preventing the interference.

  Here, you may employ | adopt the following structures as one aspect | mode of the extraction regulation of a component supply unit. For example, a notification unit that notifies permission information for permitting extraction of the component supply unit may be provided, and during the component suction operation, notification of permission information by the notification unit may be stopped to restrict extraction of the component supply unit. In this case, since the operator removes the component supply unit after receiving the permission information, the removal regulation of the component supply unit becomes more reliable. Moreover, when the component suction operation is completed, the permission information may be notified by the notification unit to cancel the sampling restriction of the component supply unit. In this case, even if extraction of the component supply unit is restricted, the operator can receive permission information notified thereafter and can extract the component supply unit with peace of mind.

  Further, as another aspect of the part supply unit extraction restriction, for example, a lock part that prevents the part supply unit from being extracted from the part supply part is provided, and the extraction of the part supply unit is restricted by using the lock part. May be. In this case, the removal of the component supply unit can be physically restricted by the lock portion, and the removal restriction of the component supply unit becomes more reliable. Further, when the component suction operation is completed, the component supply unit extraction restriction by the lock portion may be released, and the component supply unit may be extracted.

  Further, in the component mounting apparatus, the component mounting operation may be executed using the head unit having the suction nozzle. In this case, the extraction of the component supply unit may be managed as follows. The “component mounting operation” is an operation in which the suction nozzle that sucks the component is moved to a position above the component mounting position of the substrate and then lowered to mount the component on the substrate. When the component mounting is continuously performed, the next component suction operation is executed following the component mounting operation. At this time, the head unit may move to the next component supply unit that supplies the next component while raising the suction nozzle to the upper position, and the component may be sucked by the suction nozzle. Correspondingly, the operation of the head unit from the rise start of the suction nozzle after the component mounting operation to the completion of suction of the next component by the suction nozzle is the component suction operation, and the next component is supplied according to the presence or absence of a sampling request. You may comprise so that extraction of a unit may be managed. As a result, the next component supply unit can be safely extracted while reliably preventing mutual interference with the suction nozzle.

  As described above, according to the present invention, when the extraction request is made, the component supply unit is restricted from being extracted while the component is adsorbed by the adsorption nozzle. It is possible to remove the component supply unit without doing so.

It is a flowchart which shows a sampling request process.

  FIG. 1 is a plan view showing a schematic configuration of an embodiment of a component mounting apparatus according to the present invention. FIG. 2 is a partial front view of the component mounting apparatus shown in FIG. FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing the main electrical configuration of the component mounting apparatus shown in FIG. In FIGS. 1 and 2, XYZ rectangular coordinate axes are shown in order to clarify the directional relationship between the drawings.

  In the component mounting apparatus 1, the board transport mechanism 2 is disposed on the base 11, and the board S can be transported in a predetermined transport direction X. More specifically, the substrate transport mechanism 2 has a pair of conveyors 21 and 21 for transporting the substrate S from the right side to the left side of FIG. 1 on the base 11, and carries the substrate S into a predetermined mounting work position. Stop at (the position of the substrate S shown in the figure). A holding device (not shown) fixes and holds the substrate S that stops at the mounting work position. Thereafter, the electronic component supplied from the tape feeder 41 mounted on the component supply unit 4 is transferred to the substrate S by the mounting head 61 provided in the head unit 6. When all of the components to be mounted on the substrate S have been mounted on the substrate S, the substrate transport mechanism 2 unloads the substrate S from the mounting work position after the holding device releases the holding of the substrate S. A component recognition camera 71 is disposed on the base 11. Each component recognition camera 71 includes an illumination unit, a CCD (Charge Coupled Device) camera, and the like. The component recognition camera 71 images the component sucked and held by the suction nozzle 611 of each mounting head 61 of the head unit 6 from below. For this reason, it is possible to inspect the suction state of the component by the suction nozzle 611 based on the captured image.

  The component supply unit 4 is arranged on the front side (+ Y axis direction side) and the rear side (−Y axis direction side) of the substrate transport mechanism 2 configured as described above. A large number of tape feeders 41 are detachably attached to these component supply units 4. Each tape feeder 41 includes a drive motor 411, a take-up motor 412, a lock unit 413, and a feeder control unit 414 that controls the drive elements. In each tape feeder 41, a reel (not shown) around which a tape storing and holding a component is wound is detachable with respect to the rotation shaft of the drive motor 411. Small pieces of chip parts such as integrated circuits (ICs), transistors, and capacitors are stored and held on the tape at predetermined intervals.

  When each tape feeder 41 is mounted on the component supply unit 4, the feeder control unit 414 energizes an actuator (not shown) of the lock unit 413 and restricts removal from the component supply unit 4. When the energization is stopped, the removal restriction of the tape feeder 41 by the lock portion 413 is released. For example, the lock unit 413 may include a lock pin and an actuator, and the lock pin may protrude from the tape feeder 41 to be engaged with the component supply unit 4 by energizing the actuator. In this case, when the energization of the actuator is stopped, the lock pin is retracted into the tape feeder 41 and can be removed.

  In the tape feeder 41 attached to the component supply unit 4, when the drive motor 411 is operated, the tape feeder 41 sends the tape from the reel to the head unit 6 side. As a result, the components in the tape are intermittently delivered to the component suction position, and as a result, the components can be picked up by the suction nozzle 611 mounted on the mounting head 61 of the head unit 6. The tape after picking up the parts is taken up by a take-up motor 412.

  The head unit 6 transports the components to the substrate S while being sucked and held by the suction nozzle 611 of the mounting head 61 and transfers them to the component mounting position designated by the user. Then, a total of twelve mounting heads 61 including six mounting heads 61F arranged in a line in the X-axis direction on the front side and six mounting heads 61R arranged in a line in the X-axis direction on the rear side are arranged. Have. That is, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, in the head unit 6, six mounting heads 61F extending in the vertical direction Z are arranged at an equal pitch in the X-axis direction (the direction in which the substrate S is transported by the substrate transport mechanism 2). It is provided in a row. Further, a rear row configured in the same manner as the front row is provided on the rear side (−Y-axis direction side) with respect to the mounting head 61F. In the present embodiment, the mounting head 61F and the mounting head 61R are arranged with a half pitch shift in the X-axis direction, and are arranged in a zigzag shape in plan view as shown in FIG. Therefore, when viewed from the Y-axis direction, as shown in FIG. 2, the twelve mounting heads 61 are arranged in a line in the X-axis direction without overlapping each other. The suction nozzle 611 attached to the tip of each mounting head 61 can communicate with any one of a vacuum supply source, a positive pressure source, and the atmosphere via a pressure switching mechanism (not shown). The pressure applied to the suction nozzle 611 is switched by the mechanism.

  Each mounting head 61 can be moved up and down (moved in the Z-axis direction) with respect to the head unit 6 by a nozzle lifting drive mechanism (not shown), and rotated around the nozzle center axis by a nozzle rotation driving mechanism (not shown). Direction rotation). Among these drive mechanisms, the nozzle raising / lowering drive mechanism raises and lowers the mounting head 61 between a lowered position (falling end) when sucking or mounting and a rising position (raising end) when carrying. . On the other hand, the nozzle rotation drive mechanism is a mechanism for rotating the suction nozzle 611 as required, and can position the component in a predetermined R-axis direction during mounting by rotation drive. These drive mechanisms are each constituted by a Z-axis motor 62Z, an R-axis motor 62R, and a predetermined power transmission mechanism. By controlling the driving, each mounting head 61 is moved in the Z direction and the R direction.

  Further, the head unit 6 transports the components sucked by these mounting heads 61 between the component supply unit 4 and the substrate S and mounts them on the substrate S. It is movable in the Y-axis direction (direction orthogonal to the X-axis and Z-axis directions). That is, the head unit 6 is supported so as to be movable along the X axis with respect to the mounting head support member 63 extending in the X axis direction. Further, both ends of the mounting head support member 63 are supported by a fixed rail 64 in the Y-axis direction, and are movable along the fixed rail 64 in the Y-axis direction. The head unit 6 is driven in the X-axis direction by the X-axis motor 62X via the ball screw 66, and the mounting head support member 63 is driven in the Y-axis direction by the Y-axis motor 62Y via the ball screw 68. . As described above, the head unit 6 can convey the component sucked by the mounting head 61 from the component supply unit 4 to the target position.

  Further, the head unit 6 includes a substrate recognition camera 72. The substrate recognition camera 72 includes an illumination unit and a CCD camera, and performs substrate recognition by taking an image of a fiducial mark attached to the substrate S.

  The component mounting apparatus 1 includes a display unit 8 (FIG. 3) that functions as an interface with an operator. The display unit 8 is connected to the control unit 3 and has a function as an input terminal that is configured by a touch panel and receives an input from an operator, in addition to a function of displaying an operation state of the component mounting apparatus 1.

  Next, the configuration of the control unit 3 will be described with reference to FIG. The control unit 3 is provided at an appropriate position inside the apparatus main body, and is a well-known CPU (Central Processing Unit) that executes logical operations, a ROM (Read Only Memory) that stores initial settings, and various devices during operation of the apparatus. It is composed of a RAM (Random Access Memory) that temporarily stores data.

  Functionally, the control unit 3 includes a motor control unit 31, an external input / output unit 32, an image processing unit 33, a server communication control unit 34, a feeder communication control unit 35, various storage units 36 to 38, and an arithmetic processing unit 39. I have.

  The motor control unit 31 controls driving of the X-axis motor 62X, the Y-axis motor 62Y, the Z-axis motor 62Z, and the R-axis motor 62R. The external input / output unit 32 inputs signals from various sensors 91 provided in the component mounting apparatus 1 and outputs signals to various actuators 92 provided in the component mounting apparatus 1. The image processing unit 33 takes in image data from the component recognition camera 71 and the board recognition camera 72 and performs image processing such as binarization. The server communication control unit 34 communicates information and the like with a server (not shown). The feeder communication control unit 35 communicates information and the like with each tape feeder 41.

  The storage means includes a mounting program storage means 36 for storing a component mounting processing program and various data necessary for mounting, a transport system data storage means 37 for storing various data relating to a transport system for transporting the printed circuit board, and component mounting. Facility-specific data storage means 38 for storing data specific to each facility of the apparatus 1 is provided.

  The arithmetic processing unit 39 has an arithmetic function such as a CPU, and controls the motor control unit 31 and the image processing unit 33 in accordance with a program stored in the mounting program storage unit 36. ing.

  In particular, the arithmetic processing unit 39 performs component mounting one by one on the board S conveyed by the conveyors 21 and 21 by performing automatic operation. Further, the arithmetic processing unit 39 accepts a request for a sampling operation from the operator even during the automatic operation, and executes a sampling request process when there is a sampling request. Accordingly, the arithmetic processing unit 39 restricts the tape feeder 41 from being extracted during the component suction operation. Hereinafter, automatic operation in the component mounting apparatus 1, removal work of the tape feeder 41 by the operator, and removal request processing will be described.

  First, automatic operation will be described with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5. FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing automatic operation in the component mounting apparatus of FIG. FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing the mounting operation executed in the automatic operation. In the component mounting apparatus 1, the arithmetic processing unit 39 controls each part of the apparatus as follows in accordance with an automatic operation program stored in the mounting program storage unit 36. Thereby, automatic driving | running | working is performed.

  When it is confirmed in step S11 that an unmounted substrate S is present at the mounting work position (the position of the substrate S shown in FIG. 1), a mounting operation is performed (step S12). In this mounting operation, the presence of mounting data is confirmed (step S121). The mounting data is information regarding components to be mounted on the substrate S fixed by the holding device at the mounting work position, and includes a mounting position for each component, a component size, a component orientation, and the like.

  If it is determined that the mounting data exists, that is, there is an unmounted part, the unplugging disable flag is set to ON (step S122). This unplugging disable flag is information indicating whether or not the operator is required to regulate the unloading operation of the tape feeder 41. In the present embodiment, the ON state means that the unloading operation is restricted, while the OFF state is not extracted. It means that work is not regulated. Then, as will be described later, the message display on the display unit 8 and the lock / unlock of the lock unit 413 are controlled based on the unworkable flag.

  In the next step S123, a single suction device group is created. This “one suction mounting group” refers to the suction nozzle 611 of the mounting head 61 provided in the head unit 6 while the head unit 6 moves once in the order of the component supply unit 4, the component recognition camera 71, and the substrate S. This means creating sequence information for picking up a component, recognizing the component, and mounting on the board. In the present embodiment, since the head unit 6 has twelve mounting heads 61, it is possible to suck, recognize and mount a maximum of twelve components in one suction mounting group. .

  In the next step S124, the component suction operation is executed according to the one suction mounting group. That is, the head unit 6 moves to a position above the tape feeder 41 in which components to be mounted next are stored. When the head unit 6 moves to the tape feeder 41 from the position where the component mounting operation of the previous one suction mounting group is completed, the mounting head 61 after component mounting is raised in the Z-axis direction simultaneously with the movement. Let When the movement of the head unit 6 is completed, the mounting head 61 is lowered in the Z-axis direction toward a desired component, and the suction nozzle 611 is brought into contact with the component to perform component suction by the suction nozzle 611. Thereafter, the mounting head 61 that sucks and holds the component rises in the Z-axis direction. Such operation is repeated up to 12 times, and the head unit 6 picks up 1 to 12 components from the component supply unit 4.

  At the time when the component suction operation for the single suction mounting group is completed, the removal work disable flag is returned to the OFF state (step S125).

  In the next step S126, the head unit 6 moves to a position above the component recognition camera 71 while holding the component by suction. The component recognition camera 71 images a component sucked and held by the suction nozzle 611 and outputs data of the captured image to the image processing unit 33. The image processing unit 33 performs image processing such as binarization on the received image data. Then, based on the image processing result by the image processing unit 33, the arithmetic processing unit 39 inspects the suction state of the component by the suction nozzle 611.

  The head unit 6 that is confirmed to have a good suction state of the component moves to a position above the component mounting position where the component is mounted. When the head unit 6 holds and holds a plurality of components, the head unit 6 moves in order to the position above each mounting point. Then, each time the head unit 6 moves, the mounting head 61 descends in the Z-axis direction, and the component held by suction by the mounting head 61 is moved to the mounting point (step S127). When all the components that the head unit 6 sucks and holds are thus mounted on the substrate S, the process returns to step S121. Then, while the mounting data remains, the series of processes (steps S122 to S127) are executed. On the other hand, when there is no mounting data, that is, when all desired components are mounted on the board S, the mounting operation is completed and the process proceeds to the next step S13.

  In step S13 in FIG. 4, it is determined whether or not the board S on which all components are mounted can be carried out downstream from the mounting work position, that is, (+ X) side. Here, when another substrate S exists on the downstream side of the mounting work position (“NO” in step S13), the substrate S at the mounting work position enters a standby state, and the downstream substrate S is unloaded. Wait for it. When it is possible to carry out from the mounting work position, the substrate S at the mounting work position is carried out downstream by the conveyors 21 and 21 (step S14).

  In this way, when the board S on which the components are mounted is unloaded and the board S does not exist at the mounting work position, or when it is determined in step S11 that the board S does not exist at the mounting work position, the board S is moved to the mounting work position. It is determined whether or not loading is possible (step S15). Here, when the board S cannot be carried into the mounting work position (“NO” in step S15), the board S located on the upstream side of the mounting work position enters a standby state and moves to the mounting work position. The next substrate S waits on the upstream side of the mounting work position until the next substrate S can be loaded. Then, when it is possible to carry in to the mounting work position, the board S with no components on the upstream side of the mounting work position is carried into the mounting work position by the conveyors 21 and 21 (step S16). And it returns to step S11 and the above-mentioned series of processings are performed. In this way, the boards S on which the components are mounted are manufactured one by one and are carried out of the component mounting apparatus 1.

  By the way, during automatic operation or while automatic operation is stopped, it may be necessary to remove the tape feeder 41 from the component supply unit 4. For example, it corresponds to the case where the parts are cut or the suction rate is deteriorated. In such a case, the operator performs the extracting operation shown in FIG. On the other hand, in the component mounting apparatus 1, when there is a request from the operator, that is, a sampling request, the arithmetic processing unit 39 responds to each part of the device according to a program corresponding to the sampling request stored in the mounting program storage unit 36. Control as described in.

  FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing the extracting operation. When the tape feeder 41 needs to be removed, as shown in FIG. 6, the operator displays a screen corresponding to the removal operation on the display unit 8 by touching the display unit 8, and selects the tape feeder 41 to be removed (step) S21). Then, information indicating the selected tape feeder 41 is notified to the arithmetic processing unit 39 as a sampling request. As described above, in this embodiment, the sampling request is received by the component mounting apparatus 1 via the display unit 8. At this time, at the same time that the extraction request is received, a message indicating that the extraction is prohibited is displayed on the display unit 8, for example, “Please do not remove the selected tape feeder until there is permission information for extraction work”. Also good.

  When the extraction request is made in this way, the permission of the extraction work is notified from the component mounting apparatus 1. Specifically, the permission information (for example, the message “the selected tape feeder 41 can be extracted”) is displayed on the display unit 8. Until this is done, the operator waits without performing the removal operation (step S22). Meanwhile, the arithmetic processing unit 39 of the component mounting apparatus 1 executes a sampling request process described later. On the other hand, when the permission information for the extraction work is displayed on the display unit 8, the operator who has confirmed the information extracts the selected tape feeder 41 from the component supply unit 4 (step S23).

  In the case of out of parts, the operator attaches another prepared tape feeder 41 to the parts supply unit 4 or attaches a new reel to the removed tape feeder 41 and then attaches the tape feeder 41 to the part. Reinstall the supply unit 4. If it is determined that the deterioration of the suction rate is in the mounted state of the tape feeder 41, the operator remounts the removed tape feeder 41 as it is in the component supply unit 4. As described above, when the tape feeder 41 is attached to the component supply unit 4 following the removal operation of the tape feeder 41, the feeder control unit 414 controls each unit of the tape feeder 41 to initialize the tape and perform the component by the lock unit 413. Lock fixing of the tape feeder 41 to the supply part 4 is performed. When preparation for component supply is completed, the feeder control unit 414 transmits a signal to the effect that the component-out state of the specified component has been eliminated to the feeder communication control unit 35 of the control unit 3.

  Next, the sampling request process will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing the sampling request process. The arithmetic processing unit 39 uses the sampling request as a trigger, and executes the sampling request process by controlling each unit of the apparatus as follows according to the corresponding program.

  It is determined whether or not the above-described automatic operation is being performed when the sampling request is notified (step S31). If it is determined that the automatic operation is being performed, it is further determined whether or not the unplugging disable flag is ON (step S32). When the automatic operation is in progress and the unplugging disable flag is ON, the suction nozzle 611 may access and interfere with the tape feeder 41 selected by the operator. Therefore, in the present embodiment, while these two conditions (automatic operation, unworking flag disabled) are satisfied, steps S31 and S32 are repeatedly executed as shown in FIG. Not accepted.

  On the other hand, when the automatic operation is not executed (“NO” in step S31), or when the component suction processing is completed and the removal work disable flag is switched to the OFF state (“NO” in step S32), the tape feeder 41 does not interfere with the suction nozzle 611, and the tape feeder 41 can be safely removed from the component supply unit 4. Therefore, the designated part supplied by the tape feeder 41 is changed to a part-out state (step S33). Therefore, until the tape feeder 41 is mounted as described above, the specified component of the tape feeder 41 is excluded from the specified component group for creating the single suction mounting group. For this reason, it becomes easy to create a single suction mounting group, and controllability can be improved.

  In the next step S34, a lock release command is given from the arithmetic processing unit 39 to the feeder control unit 414 via the feeder communication control unit 35, and the feeder control unit 414 that receives this command controls the lock unit 413 to release the lock. To do. As a result, the physical extraction restriction for the tape feeder 41 is released. Then, a message indicating that the removal work is permitted, that is, permission information is displayed on the display unit 8 (step S35). Then, the operator performs the unloading work while seeing this display.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, even if there is a sampling request, the extraction operation is not performed until the extraction operation disable flag is switched from the ON state to the OFF state, that is, until the component suction operation (step S124) is completed. Is not displayed on the display unit 8. Thus, while the suction nozzle 611 may interfere with the tape feeder 41, the permission information is not displayed on the display unit 8, and the removal of the tape feeder 41 is restricted. For this reason, the extraction regulation of the tape feeder 41 can be performed reliably.

  Further, until the component suction operation (step S124) is completed, the lock unit 413 controls the tape feeder 41 so that it cannot be physically pulled out, so that interference between the suction nozzle 611 and the tape feeder 41 is further ensured. Can be prevented.

  Further, when the component suction operation is completed, the restriction by the lock unit 413 is released and the permission information is displayed on the display unit 8 to release the tape feeder 41 extraction restriction. Therefore, the operator can feel at ease based on the permission information. The tape feeder 41 can be extracted. In this way, the tape feeder 41 can be extracted at an appropriate timing.

  Thus, in this embodiment, the tape feeder 41 corresponds to the “component supply unit” of the present invention. Further, the display unit 8 has both a display function and an input terminal function, and functions as a “reception unit” and a “notification unit” of the present invention.

  The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications can be made to the above-described one without departing from the spirit of the present invention. For example, instead of the display unit 8, an input terminal unit and a display unit may be provided independently, and each may be configured to function as a “reception unit” and a “notification unit” of the present invention.

  Further, in the above embodiment, the permission information (message) is displayed on the display unit 8 to notify the operator that the removal work is permitted. However, the notification mode of permission information is not limited to this. For example, the permission information may be notified by lamp lighting or voice.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, the lock | rock of the tape feeder 41 by the lock part 413 is automatically cancelled | released according to completion of component adsorption | suction operation | movement (step S124) (step S34). However, this is not an essential matter. For example, an operator who has confirmed the permission information may manually unlock the tape feeder 41 and remove the tape feeder 41.

  Furthermore, in the said embodiment, although this invention is applied with respect to the component mounting apparatus 1 with which the tape feeder 41 was detachably attached to the component supply part 4, the application object of this invention is limited to this is not. For example, the present invention can also be applied to a component mounting apparatus in which a tray containing components in a container is detachably mounted on a component supply unit as a “component supply unit” of the present invention.
