Further, each mounting head 18 is provided with a suction nozzle 18a at its tip (lower end), and negative pressure is supplied to the tip of the suction nozzle from a negative pressure supply means (not shown). Parts are attracted by suction force.

  FIG. 4 shows a control system of the mounting machine. In this figure, a control unit 30 provided for a mounting line including the mounting machine controls a well-known CPU that executes a logical operation and the CPU. It comprises a ROM that stores various programs in advance and a RAM that temporarily stores various data during the operation of the apparatus. As its functional configuration, a mounting control means 31, a data storage means 32, an arithmetic processing means 33 are provided. And wireless transmission / reception means 34 and the like. The control unit 30 also includes a portable terminal 40 that is separate from the unit 30 and capable of transmitting / receiving data to / from the unit 30 through a wireless line, and is carried by an operator. .

  The mounting control means 31 controls the Y-axis and X-axis servomotors 9 and 15 and the lifting / lowering driving means and the rotation driving means of the mounting head 18 in accordance with a production program stored in advance, so that the component supply section 31 This is a system for comprehensively controlling mounting operations such as component adsorption and component mounting on the printed circuit board P.

  The data storage means 32 stores various data necessary for operation control of the production program and other mounting machines. For example, the production plan data such as the type and number of the printed circuit boards P to be produced on the day, the types of parts. Mounting component data such as the number of components of the reel 50 for each type, board cradle ID for each type of printed circuit board P, group ID, and production information such as the type, number and mounting position of mounting components (required components), A tape feeder 5 (reel 50) that supplies the tact data that associates the type of the printed board P with the actual recorded value or estimated value data of the mounting time per board, the mounted parts for each printed board, and the respective parts. Component supply information that correlates the position to be installed, jig information that correlates the type of the printed circuit board P and the substrate cradle ID, setup information, and inventory component information Various data are stored in each file format.

  Here, the setup information data refers to the relationship between the type of component and the set position in the component supply unit 4 (each component supply unit 4A to 4D) of the tape feeder 5 (reel 50) that supplies that type of component. As will be described later, when the operator reads the bar code labels 5a and 50a with the bar code reader 37 during setup, the data is recorded in the setup information data file in the data storage means 32. The inventory part information data is data indicating the relationship between the type of inventory reel 50 stored in a storage box (not shown) and its storage location. For example, the operator attaches the reel 50 to the reel 50 when the reel 50 is received. The bar code label 50 a and the bar code label attached to the storage location are read by the bar code reader 37 and recorded in the inventory part information data file in the data storage means 32.

  The arithmetic processing means 33 reads the production program and various data from the data storage unit 32, performs various calculations necessary for the operation of the mounting control means, and calculates a time schedule to be described later.

  The wireless transmission / reception means 34 transmits / receives data communication with the portable terminal 40 having a wireless transmission / reception function carried by an operator through a wireless line. The portable terminal 40 is called PDA (Personal Digital Assistant), for example, and includes a liquid crystal display unit 41, an input operation unit 42, an image input unit (camera), and an audio input unit (microphone). Data can be exchanged with the unit 30 through a wireless line.

In the mounting machine as described above, production preparation and production of the printed circuit board P are performed by the following methods (procedures) (1) to (4). 5 to 8 are flowcharts showing the method and main processes in the control unit 30. FIG. Hereinafter, it demonstrates in order.
(1) Production Schedule Creation FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing a production schedule creation method. First, in step S1, when a production plan, that is, a schedule such as the type and the number of production of the printed circuit boards P to be produced on the day is issued in the production management department of the printed circuit boards P, the content is stored in the data in the control unit 30. Register in the storage means 32 (step S2). The registration is performed by the operator operating the input operation means 36. For example, the bar code marked on the production plan is read by a bar code reader.

  Next, when the operator operates the input operation means 36, the production start time of the printed board P to be produced first in the schedule is set (step S3). When this setting is completed, a specific time schedule is calculated in the control unit 30 (arithmetic processing means 33).

  First, it is determined whether or not the tact data of the target board P, that is, the actual recorded value or estimated value data of the mounting time per target board is registered (stored) in the storage means 32 (steps S4 and S5). Here, if it is not registered, the fact is displayed on the display means 35, and when the operator operates the input operation means 36 to input the actual recorded value or estimated value of the mounting time of the target board P. The tact data indicating the correspondence between the type of the printed circuit board P and the tact time is recorded in the tact data file F1 (step S6).

  If the tact data has already been recorded in the tact data file F1, or if the tact data has been recorded in the tact data file F1 by the operation of the operator, the tact data of the target substrate P is stored in the data storage from the tact data file F1. The operation rate data is read from the operation rate data file F2 already registered in the means 32, and the operation rate time is calculated by reading the operation rate data into the calculation processing unit 33, and the setup work time and the break time are further calculated from the preliminary time data file F3. The preliminary processing time data is read by the arithmetic processing means 33 to determine the production end time of the target substrate P (steps S7 and S8).

  Next, it is determined whether or not there is another type of printed board P in the production schedule. If there is, the setting of the target board P is changed to the type of printed board P to be produced next, and then produced first. The production end time of the printed circuit board P is set as the production start time, and the processes in steps S4 to S9 are repeated.

In this way, finally, the setting of the production start time and the calculation of the production end time are performed for all types of printed circuit boards P included in the production schedule (YES in step S9). A time schedule indicating the production start time and end time is displayed on the display means 35 or (and) the liquid crystal display unit 41 of the portable terminal 40.
(2) Calculation of Required Reel Number FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing a method for calculating the required reel number.

  First, in step S21, the production information data of the printed circuit board P included in the production schedule is read from the production information data file F4 already registered in the data storage means 32 to the arithmetic processing means 33 and used on that day. The type of parts and the total number for each type are calculated, and the total number of reels 50 required for the day is calculated based on the value (step S22).

Next, it is determined whether other types of parts remain in the production schedule (step S23), and the same processing as described above is repeated. When the necessary number of reels for each type of component used on the day is thus obtained, the contents are displayed on the display means 35 or (and) the liquid crystal display 41 of the portable terminal 40 (step S24).
(3) Setup Work FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing a setup method for the printed board P to be produced first among the types of printed board P included in the production plan data.

  In this setup operation, first, the operator operates the input operation means 36 to set the type of the printed board P, so that the production information data file F4 stored in the data storage means 32 corresponds to the target board P. The data is read and the content is displayed on the display means 35 and / or the liquid crystal display unit 41 of the portable terminal 40 (steps S31 and S32).

  Next, the operator inputs confirmation information for the production conditions of the printed circuit board P among the contents displayed in step S32, and determines whether the confirmation information meets the production conditions (step). S33). For example, the display unit 35 displays a substrate cradle ID as one piece of production information, and after the operator sets the substrate cradle 3 corresponding to the ID on the mounting machine, the information is pasted on the substrate cradle 3 as confirmation information. Whether the attached barcode label is read by the barcode reader, and the substrate holder ID matches the actually set substrate holder 3 based on the jig information data stored in the data storage means 32 Make a decision. As a result, it is possible to prevent the substrate cradle 3 of a type different from the substrate cradle 3 recorded in the production information data from being set erroneously.

  Next, the processing unit 33 reads the current setup data from the setup information data file F5 recorded in the data storage unit 32 and the component supply information data corresponding to the target board P from the component supply information data file F6, respectively. Among the types of components included in the production information data of the target board P, the tape feeder 5 that already supplies the component (the tape feeder 5 on which the reel 50 that holds the component is set) should be set by the component supply unit 4. It is determined whether or not there is a position set in the part supply information data, and if there is a corresponding part, a skip flag is set for the part (steps S34 and S35).

  Then, it is determined whether or not a part other than the type for which the skip flag is set is included in the production information data. If included, the set position of the tape feeder 5 for supplying the corresponding part and the same tape feeder are determined. 5 is displayed on the display means 35 or (and) the liquid crystal display part 41 of the portable terminal 40 (step S37). The current location indication of the tape feeder 5 is the current set when the tape feeder 5 that supplies the relevant part is set in the part supply unit 4 (when the part is set at a position different from the position to be set). Display the position. In addition, when the tape feeder 5 that supplies the relevant part is detached from the part supply unit 4, a message to that effect is displayed. Further, the inventory part information data stored in the data storage unit 32 is read, and the storage location of the reel 50 holding the corresponding part is also displayed on the display unit 35 or the like. When there are a plurality of locations of the tape feeder 5 (reel 50), the locations are displayed according to the order of use (priority order) set in advance by the operator.

  Then, the setup work is performed based on the contents displayed on the display means 35, and the setup information is input by inputting the setup information at that time, and the setup information data of the target substrate P is set up as setup information data. The information data file F5 is updated and recorded (steps S38 and S39).

Here, the input method of the setup information will be described. First, when the tape feeder 5 that supplies the relevant part (the tape feeder 5 in which the reel 50 that holds the relevant part is set) is not set in the part supply unit 4. The operator collects the reel 50 from the storage location displayed on the display means 35 and the like, sets the reel 50 on the tape feeder 5, and further feeds the feeder 5 on the component supply unit 4 (component supply) displayed on the display means 35. Set at a predetermined set position of the unit units 4A to 4D). At this time, for example, as shown in FIG. 4, a label 50a (barcode label 50a) in which a machine-specific symbol predetermined according to the type of part is bar-coded is pasted on the reel 50, and the tape feeder is used. A label 5 a (bar code label 5 a) in which the identification symbol is converted into a barcode is also pasted to 5. Further, a similar barcode label (not shown) is attached to each set position of the component supply unit 4 (component supply unit 4A to 4D), and these labels 5a and 50a are attached to the operator by the barcode reader 37. The setup information is input by reading the data. On the other hand, when the tape feeder 5 that supplies the corresponding part is set at a position different from the position to be set, the setup information is input to the part feeder 4 (part supply part unit 4A). 4D), and the barcode label 50a of the tape feeder 5 and the barcode label at the new set position are read by the barcode reader 37. In this case, since the barcode label 50a of the reel 50 is read at the time of the previous setup and the correspondence relationship with the tape feeder 5 has already been input, it is only necessary to read the label 50a of the tape feeder 5 and the label at the set position. New setup information can be input.

  When the input and registration of new setup information is completed in this way, it is determined whether the setup of the printed circuit board P to be produced next to the production schedule can be performed. If it is determined that the setup can be performed, the process proceeds to step S31. For example, if two types of printed boards P that are produced in succession can be set up at the same time, the determination is YES here.

If it is determined in step S40 that the next printed circuit board P to be produced cannot be prepared, the setup operation is completed.
(4) Production Work FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing a production work method.

  In the production work, the operator starts production of the printed circuit board P by inputting production start data by operating the input operation means 36 (step S51). The operation of the mounting machine after the start of production is briefly described as follows.

  First, while the printed circuit board P is carried and positioned at the mounting work position, the head unit 6 moves to the component supply unit 4 (component supply unit units 4A to 4D) and the component heads 18 adsorb the components. Done. Specifically, after the mounting head 18 is disposed above the target tape feeder 5, the mounting head 18 moves up and down so that the components in the tape are adsorbed by the adsorption nozzle 18 a from the tape feeder 5. Take out. At this time, if possible, components are taken out from the tape feeder 5 simultaneously by a plurality of mounting heads 18. When the suction of the components is completed, the head unit 6 moves from the component supply unit 4 onto the printed circuit board P so as to mount the first component on the printed circuit board P, and the components attracted to the mounting heads 18 are sequentially printed. It is mounted on the substrate P. Specifically, after the mounting head 18 that sucks the target component is disposed above the mounting position, the mounting head 18 moves up and down, and the negative pressure supply to the suction nozzle 18a is cut off at the lowest position. As a result, the component is mounted on the printed circuit board 3. After that, the necessary number of components are sequentially mounted on the printed circuit board 3 while the head unit 6 reciprocates between the component supply unit 4 and the circuit board cradle 3.

  While such printed circuit board P is being produced, it is always determined whether or not an abnormality such as a mounting error, for example, a component suction error or a mounting error has occurred. If not, step S58 is performed. The amount of consumed parts of each tape feeder 5 is counted by a counter (counting means) (not shown) in the control unit 30, and the number of remaining parts of each tape feeder 5 (the number of remaining parts of the reel 50) is calculated from the counted value. And the number of remaining parts for each tape feeder 5 is displayed on the display means 35 or (and) the liquid crystal display 41 of the portable terminal 40.

On the other hand, if it is determined in step S52 that an abnormality such as a component suction error has occurred, that effect is displayed on the display means 35 or (and) the liquid crystal display unit 41 of the portable terminal 40 and the mounting machine is stopped ( Step S53). On the other hand, the operator images an abnormal place with the mobile terminal 40 and inputs the situation by voice, and operates the input operation unit 42 of the mobile terminal 40 to register the contents in the data storage means 32 as the history information data file F7. After that, the operator in charge is contacted to perform a predetermined abnormality canceling process, and the mounting operation is restarted by inputting a restart command by operating the input operation means 36 (steps S54 to S57).

  Then, while determining whether or not all the components are mounted on the printed circuit board P, the processes in steps S51 to S59 are repeatedly executed, and when it is determined that all the components are finally mounted (end of production), The production work of the printed circuit board P is completed.

  According to the mounting machine as described above, at the time of setup, the display unit 35 or (and) the liquid crystal display unit 41 of the portable terminal 40 displays the position where the tape feeder 5 that supplies the required parts of the production substrate P is installed, Since the location of the tape feeder 5 (reel 50) that supplies the required parts of the production substrate P is displayed on the display means 35 and the like, the operator is installed in the component supply unit 4 (component supply unit units 4A to 4D). Of the tape feeders 5, unnecessary ones, that is, those that need to be replaced can be easily identified, and the location of the tape feeder 5 (reel 50) to be installed next can be easily identified. The setup work can be performed quickly and accurately, and the productivity of the printed circuit board P can be improved.

  Moreover, since the number of remaining parts of the tape feeder 5 to be installed next is also displayed, the operator can accurately recognize the shortage of the parts, and the storage location of the reel 50 is also the display means 35 as described above. In such a case, the operator can quickly collect a new reel 50 and shift to the production of the next printed circuit board P when the parts are insufficient. Therefore, not only can the setup operation be performed quickly, but also the operator can be urged to replenish the reel 50, thereby making it possible to prevent unexpected parts from being cut out.

  In particular, in the above-described embodiment, for the required parts where the tape feeder 5 is already set at the position where the component supply unit 4 should be set, the position where the tape feeder 5 is to be set and its location are not displayed. For this reason (steps S34 to S37 in FIG. 7), it is possible to prevent the operator from performing unnecessary detachment work of the tape feeder 5, thereby improving the workability of the setup.

  Further, when a plurality of locations are displayed as the locations of the tape feeder 5 (reel 50), the locations are displayed with priorities as described above. The operator can be made aware of the use in order from the one set in the feeder 5, and in this case, the effect that the components of the component assembly can be effectively used from the in-process reel 50 without waste. There is also.

  In addition, before the start of production, the total number of reels 50 for each type of parts used for production of all types of printed circuit boards P included in the production schedule of the day is obtained and displayed. Thus, it is possible to prepare all types of reels 50 used in advance without any excess or deficiency. Therefore, in the case of making such advance preparation, it is possible to reduce the trouble of the operator having to go to the parts warehouse many times and to shorten the time for changing the setup. Productivity can be improved.

Further, since the portable terminal 40 as described above is provided so that the display related to the setup can be displayed on the liquid crystal display unit 41, the operator can carry the portable terminal 40 and collect the reel 50 and the like while referring to the display contents. Since the work can be performed, it is possible to reduce the location confirmation mistake and the like, and to perform the setup change work more efficiently and accurately.

  Further, since the time schedule such as the production end time of the printed circuit board P included in the production schedule of the day is obtained and displayed before the production starts, the operator can proceed with the preparation for setup according to the time schedule. Therefore, the setup work can be efficiently performed in this respect.

  Further, since the abnormality occurrence state can be left as an image (video) and sound at the time of mounting, there is an advantage that the cause of the abnormality can be investigated in detail later.

  By the way, the mounting machine of the embodiment described above is an embodiment of the surface mounting machine according to the present invention (surface mounting machine capable of performing the component setup method according to the present invention), and its specific configuration ( And the setup method) can be appropriately changed without departing from the scope of the present invention.

  For example, in the embodiment, the setup information data is input by reading the barcode labels 5a, 50a and the like using the barcode reader 37, but for example, between the tape feeder 5 and the control unit 30. If communication is possible, identification information (ID) is set in advance in the tape feeder 5 and the reel 50, and the setup is performed by identifying the tape feeder 5 and the reel 50 set in the component supply unit 4 by the control unit 30. Information data may be created and stored.

  In the embodiment, as the indication of the location of the tape feeder 5 (reel 50), when the tape feeder 5 is removed from the component supply unit 4, that fact is displayed. If a place to be kept waiting is determined, the place may be displayed. In this case, when removing the tape feeder 5 from the component supply unit 4, the operator may input the standby position of the tape feeder 5 from the portable terminal 40.

  In the embodiment, an example in which the present invention is applied to a mounting machine having the tape feeder 5 as a component supply means has been described. However, the present invention is of course applicable to mounting machines having other feeders such as a stick feeder. is there.
