BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of a method for supporting part setup and a method for producing a substrate according to the present invention.
The part setup support method according to the present invention is executed in an information processing apparatus including, for example, a personal computer (hereinafter, referred to as a personal computer) 1 and a printer 2 for printing out an output from the personal computer 1, as shown in FIG. (Implemented).

That is, as shown in FIG. 1, for example, the storage medium of the personal computer 1 stores a Z-axis list including component numbers corresponding to Z-axis numbers assigned to a plurality of component supply units of a component mounting apparatus described later. The PC 1 is stored in advance for each type of board to be produced, and the personal computer 1 arranges this Z-axis list in the Z-axis number corresponding to the part number and, for example, assigns the Z-axis number corresponding to the part used in the previous production board to −
When a flag list is created by adding, for example, a + sign to the Z-axis number corresponding to a component not used in the previous production board, and the Z-axis list is output for each type of board, On the basis of the above-mentioned flag list, a part corresponding to the Z-axis number with a minus sign on the subsequent production board is obtained by attaching an identifier for identifying the latter production board and its Z-axis number. The Z-axis exchange work instruction is output to the printer 2 or a display screen provided therein.

More specifically, for example, the component mounting apparatus shown in FIG.
As shown in FIG. 2, a plurality of component supply units 12 to which a part cassette 11 in which electric components, for example, so-called chip components are respectively loaded, are mounted, and chip components supplied from the plurality of component supply units 12 are mounted on a printed circuit board. The component mounter 13 moves the plurality of parts cassettes 11 mounted on the component supply unit 12 in the direction of the arrow shown in FIG. The chip components supplied from the parts cassette 11 moved to the position are mounted on a printed circuit board. Then, when changing the type of printed circuit board to be produced (hereinafter referred to as a lot), the operator replaces the parts cassette 11 in accordance with the Z-axis replacement work instruction printed out from the printer 2.

That is, the types of printed circuit boards to be produced include, for example, four types of A board, B board, C board, and D board. For example, as shown in FIG. 4, in the storage medium No. 1, for the A board, the component numbers for the Z axis numbers # 1, # 2, and # 3 are from # 1, # 2, and # 3. In addition, a Z-axis list consisting of two, three, and one parts each having part numbers # 1, # 2, and # 3, and Z-axis numbers # 1 to # for the B board The part numbers and the number of parts used for No. 4 are # 1, # 3, # 6, # 8 and one, two,
For a Z-axis list consisting of one, two, and a C board,
The part numbers and the numbers of use for the Z-axis numbers # 1, # 2, # 5, and # 7 are $ 1, $ 6, $ 9, and $ 2, respectively.
, One, and one Z-axis list, and for the D board, the part numbers and the numbers of use for the Z-axis numbers # 1, # 3, # 5, # 7, and # 9 are respectively shown. $ 1, $ 3, $ 5, $
7, ＄ 9, and a Z-axis list including seven, five, three, two, and one are stored.

The personal computer 1 reads these Z-axis list files from the storage medium, arranges the Z-axis list with the Z-axis number and the number of parts (= the number of used parts × the number of production parts) for the part numbers, The Z-axis number corresponding to the component to be used is assigned a minus sign, and the Z-axis number corresponding to the component not used in the previous production board is assigned a plus sign to create a flag list.

That is, as shown in FIG. 5, for example, the personal computer 1 does not have a printed circuit board to be produced first on the A board, so that the parts having the part numbers # 1, # 2, and # 3 are newly prepared (steps). Parts) (hereinafter referred to as new parts)
Substituting the part numbers # 1, # 2, and # 3 in the "part number" column of the "new part", and substituting the part numbers # 1, # 2, and # in the "Z-axis number" column of the "A board". The Z-axis numbers # 1, # 2, and # 3 for # 3 are assigned with + signs, and their numbers, 2, 3, and 1, are entered in the "Number of Members" column in the "A board". By substitution, a flag list for the A board is created.

For example, on a B board, the personal computer 1
Part numbers # 1, # of the parts used on this printed circuit board
It is searched whether 3, $ 6, or $ 8 is in the column of "part number" in "new part", and the part is placed in a previous production board, for example, A
Divided components that are used on the board and can be diverted on the B board, and are classified into new parts, and as shown in FIG. 5 described above, in the “Z board number” column of the “B board”, The Z axis numbers # 1 and # 2 for the part numbers # 1 and # 3 are assigned with a minus sign and substituted, and the number
And four are substituted in the column of “number” in the “B board”. On the other hand, the personal computer 1 has new part numbers # 6, #
8 in the "Part No."
In the column of “Z-axis number” in “B board”, the Z-axis numbers # 3 and # 4 for the new part numbers # 6 and # 8 are assigned with + signs, and their numbers are 2 Pieces, 4
Is substituted in the column of “number of members” in “B board” to create a flag list for the B board.

In the same manner, the personal computer 1 has a C board,
Create a flag list for the D board. Then, the personal computer 1 displays the flag list created in this way on, for example, a display screen, or prints out the data using the printer 2. The operator can use this flag list to
Components with a Z-axis number with a + sign (for example, component numbers # 1, # 2, and # 3 of the A board and component numbers # 6 and # 8 of the B board) are newly set up on the printed board. This is a necessary new part, and a Z-axis number (eg, B
Board part numbers # 1, # 3 and C board part numbers # 2, #
It can be confirmed that the component 6) is a divert component that can be diverted from the printed circuit board.

Next, the personal computer 1 outputs, based on the above-mentioned flag list, a part number corresponding to the Z-axis number with a plus sign and the number of members for each type of printed circuit board, and the subsequent production. Z with a minus sign on the substrate
For the component corresponding to the axis number, a component setup work instruction is created by adding the quantity obtained by adding the number of subsequent production boards, and the component setup work instruction is printed out by the printer 2.

That is, for example, for the B board, a Z-axis number with a plus sign in the flag list is searched, and, for example, as shown in FIG.
3 and # + 4 are respectively assigned to the part numbers # 6 and # 8, and the Z-axis numbers # + 3 and #
Substitute +4. In addition, 2 (= 1 × 2) and 4 (= 2 × 2), which are the numbers of the B substrates, were substituted for the “number of members” column, and the numbers of the members after the B substrate were totaled in the “total” column. By substituting 5 (= 2 + 5) and 7 (= 4 + 3), a part setup instruction for the B board is created. Hereinafter, in the same manner, a component setup work instruction corresponding to each of the C board and the D board is created.

Then, the operator can confirm the parts that need to be newly set up in each lot based on the printed out part setting work instruction sheet, and newly prepare only the parts cassette of the new parts. You can do so. In other words, there is no need to newly prepare a part cassette of a diverted part that is not described in the part preparation work instruction, and the number of part cassettes can be reduced as compared with the conventional case, and they are stored ( The storage space can be reduced.

FIG. 7 shows a specific example of the actual part setup work instruction sheet. That is, according to the part setup work instruction sheet shown in FIG. 7, the worker can use, for example, a part number “1-216- 025-91 ”24 parts
A parts cassette loaded with 0 parts, for example, the part number is "1-
It can be confirmed that it is necessary to newly prepare (set up) a parts cassette or the like in which 120 parts of "216-033-91" are loaded. For example, if the part number is `` 1-573-598-7
The component "1" is 720 on a printed circuit board with a serial number of 5.
Although 70 pieces are required for the printed circuit boards to be produced later, it can be confirmed that 790 pieces need to be loaded in the parts cassette in total.

When outputting the Z-axis list for each type of printed circuit board, the personal computer 1 corresponds to the Z-axis number with a minus sign on the subsequent production board based on the above-mentioned flag list. For the parts, an identifier for identifying a later production board, for example, a serial number and its Z-axis number are given, and the obtained Z-axis exchange work instruction is printed out by the printer 2.

That is, the personal computer 1, for example, on the B board, uses the Z-axis numbers # -1, # -2, # + 3,
The search is performed in ascending order of the absolute value of # + 4, and, for example, as shown in FIG.
And the part numbers # 1, # 3, # 6, and # 8, respectively, and the part number corresponding to the Z-axis number # -2 with a minus sign on the C board, which is the production board later. 6
Of the C-board, the serial number 3 of the C-board and its Z-axis number # 2
Into the column of “Serial number Z axis”, and the part numbers # 1, # 3, # 8 corresponding to the Z axis numbers # -1, # -3, # -5 with a minus sign on the D board. For the parts, the serial number 4 of the D board and their Z-axis numbers # 1, # 3, # 5 are referred to as "serial number Z".
Axis ". When there is no diversion destination, an X mark is substituted in the column of “serial number Z axis”.

Further, the personal computer 1 sets the part numbers # 1 and # 3 for the Z-axis numbers # -1 and # -2 with the minus sign in the flag list in the "Divert" column. *
To indicate that the part is a diverted part from the A board which is the previous production board, and a part number $ 6 for the Z axis numbers # + 3 and # + 4 with a + sign in the flag list.
For the part of $ 8, leave the "Divert" column blank,
A Z-axis replacement work instruction is created to indicate that this is a new component used for the first time on the board. As a result, the operator can know the part number corresponding to the Z-axis number, and can know whether each part is a new part or a diverted part from a previous lot. It is possible to know whether or not it will be used in a lot. In other words, preparations such as preparation and replacement of the parts cassette can be efficiently performed.

FIG. 9 shows a specific example of an actual Z-axis exchange work instruction. That is, the worker can know from the Z-axis exchange work instruction shown in FIG. 9 that all components used on the second printed circuit board from the start of production today are diverted components, for example. The parts cassette used for the printed circuit board can be prepared easily and in a short time, for example, by taking out the parts cassette from the shelf where the used parts cassette is stored.

Further, the operator may input a part number, for example, "1-21
6-821-91 "," 1-216-816-91 ", etc., make sure that parts cassettes with parts numbered 3 (indicated by a circle) will be used in the next lot. When the mounting of this lot is completed, it is possible to know that these parts cassettes do not need to be collected on the storage shelf.

Further, the operator may input a part number, for example, "1-21
Parts cassettes with parts with serial numbers other than 3 such as "8-710-91" and "1-164-156-91" will not be used in the next lot,
It can be confirmed that it will be used in a later lot, and when the mounting of this lot is completed, these parts cassettes can be stored on a shelf that prepares a part cassette for a printed circuit board with a serial number of 6, for example, Also, when the part number is “Serial number Z” such as “1-162-919-91” or “1-162-964-91”
For example, it is possible to confirm that parts cassettes with parts marked with a cross in the column of `` axis '' are not used on printed circuit boards manufactured today, and when these lots are mounted, these parts The cassette can be collected on a storage shelf.

That is, there is no need to prepare a part cassette for each lot (for each type of printed circuit board), so that the number of part cassettes can be reduced as compared with the conventional case, and the space for storing them is increased. Can be smaller. Further, when the used parts are the same, there is no need to prepare a parts cassette for each lot, and the number of stock parts can be reduced. Furthermore, the man-hours required for preparing and replacing the parts cassette can be reduced as compared with the conventional case, and the time required for replacing the parts cassette can be reduced, thereby improving the operation rate of the component mounting apparatus. be able to. In other words, work efficiency can be improved.

In the actual production, if the process of diverting parts is performed in a predetermined unit, for example, on a daily basis as described above, the parts for the previous day and the parts for today are not connected, and the setup man-hour of the parts is lost. Waste. That is, some parts for the previous day can be used for today. Therefore, among the setups of the previous day, for example, parts are diverted from a printed circuit board to be finally produced, thereby improving efficiency.

Specifically, for example, the D substrate in the Z-axis list shown in FIG. 4 is the final production substrate.
As shown in the Z-axis list, the components of # 1, # 2, and # 3 are newly mounted on three E boards today, and the component numbers # 2 and # 2 are mounted on two F boards. , # 4, and # 6, first, the personal computer 1 assigns a + sign to the Z-axis number for the D board and sets the production amount to 0 (that is, Is set to 0), and a flag list for the D board, the E board, and the F board is created. Then, based on this flag list, the personal computer 1 creates a used parts list showing the total quantity of parts used today with respect to the part number, as shown in FIG. 12, for example. That is, the personal computer 1 has the part numbers {1,
The total for 2, $ 3, $ 4, and $ 6 is 3 and 8, respectively.
, 3, 4, and 6, and part numbers $ 5, $ 7, $
A used parts list in which the total for 9 is 0 (recovery) is created. As a result, at the time of starting today's production, the worker can know, from among the used parts of the previous day, the parts that can be used today and the parts to be collected (not used today).

FIGS. 13 and 14 show specific examples of the actual used parts list. That is, the personal computer 1
In the “Part No.” and “Total” fields, substitute the part number and quantity for newly set-up parts, and substitute the part number and quantity to be used today for diverted parts. A part number and “collection” are substituted for parts not used today, and a list of used parts shaded is printed out by the printer 2. As a result, the worker has a part number of, for example, "1-163-009-91",
Parts that need to be newly set up, such as "1-163-219-91" and their quantity, and collection of, for example, "1-163-013-91", "1-163-038-91", etc. Parts and, for example, "1-163-021-91", "1-
163-035-91 "and the number of parts that need to be replenished with today's quantity and their quantity can be confirmed.

Further, the personal computer 1 counts the number of part numbers corresponding to the Z-axis number with a plus sign based on the flag list, and counts the number of part numbers at a standard time for setting up the parts. The man-hour is calculated by multiplication, and this man-hour is printed out by the printer 2. Specifically, for example, as shown in FIG. 15, the personal computer 1 has a machine number of MV-1, MV-2, MV-3, etc.
The number of new parts, the number of replenished parts, and the number of reclaimed parts for each component mounting apparatus are determined for each of the component mounting apparatuses. The standard time required to set up a new part, the standard time required to replenish one type of part,
After multiplying each of the standard times required to collect one type of component, the obtained multiplied values are added to obtain a work time for each component mounting apparatus, and a component setup man-hour management daily report is created. As a result, the worker can know the working time of each component mounting apparatus, and can, for example, distribute the load of the worker.

As shown in FIG. 15, the personal computer 1 obtains a work load, which is the ratio of the work time of each component mounting apparatus to the total work time, for each component mounting apparatus.
Further, the number of trolleys required for the setup and collection of parts may be calculated. As a result, the worker can work efficiently.

Next, a component mounting apparatus to which the board production method according to the present invention is applied will be described. As shown in FIG. 3 described above, the component mounting apparatus takes out the parts cassette 11 stored on the shelf 20 based on the information from the personal computer 1 and mounts the parts cassette 11 on the parts supply unit 12. The personal computer 1 includes, for example, the above-described FIG.
Is supplied to the robot 14. Then, the robot 14 takes out the parts cassette 11 stored on the shelf 20 according to this information and mounts it on the parts supply unit 12. That is, the parts cassette 11 is automatically mounted, so that labor can be saved.

The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment. For example, the electric component may be an electric component having a lead wire other than the chip component. Furthermore, it is needless to say that the present invention is not limited to, for example, an electric component or a printed circuit board, and can be applied to mounting a component on a circuit board.

[0043]

As is apparent from the above description, according to the present invention, the first information including the component numbers corresponding to the Z-axis numbers assigned to the plurality of component supply units is previously determined for each type of board to be produced. Prepare and place the first information on the Z-axis number for the part number, attach the first code to the Z-axis number corresponding to the part used on the previous production board, and do not use it on the previous production board The second information is created by attaching a second code to the Z-axis number corresponding to the component, and when the first information is output for each type of board, the following information is generated based on the second information. For a component corresponding to the Z-axis number given the first code on the production board, the component is attached to the component supply unit by outputting the identifier identifying the later production board and the Z-axis number. Pudding that produces, for example, parts cassettes Type of substrate (lot) it is not necessary to prepare for each, it is possible to reduce the number of parts cassettes than conventional, they can be reduced space store. Also, when the parts used are the same, there is no need to prepare a parts cassette for each lot,
Inventory parts can be reduced. Furthermore, the man-hours required for preparing and replacing the parts cassette can be reduced as compared with the conventional case, and the time required for replacing the parts cassette can be reduced, thereby improving the operation rate of the component mounting apparatus. be able to. In other words, work efficiency can be improved.

Further, according to the present invention, Z of the second information
A part having an axis number given a second code is a new part to be newly prepared, and a part having a Z-axis number given a first code in the second information is diverted from a previous production board. By outputting as a part, the worker can easily confirm the new part and the diverted part, and can increase the work efficiency.

Further, according to the present invention, based on the second information, the part number corresponding to the Z-axis number given the second code and the number of parts are output for each type of the board, and the subsequent production board is output. In the case of the part corresponding to the Z-axis number given the first code, the total number of the production boards to be added is added and output, so that the operator can newly set up each lot. Necessary parts can be confirmed, and only a parts cassette for new parts can be newly prepared. In other words, there is no need to newly prepare a part cassette for diverted parts, and the number of part cassettes can be reduced as compared with the related art, and the space for storing (storing) them can be reduced.
