Description

  The present invention relates to a component mounting apparatus and a component mounting method for mounting an electronic component on a substrate.

  In a component supply unit of a component mounting apparatus that mounts electronic components on a substrate, a plurality of parts feeders such as tape feeders are arranged in parallel for each component type. When multiple types of board types are targeted for production, the required component types differ depending on the board type. Therefore, when the production target board type is switched, the parts feeder of the component type corresponding to each board type is used. The feeder rearrangement work is performed, which involves exchanging with or adding a new parts feeder. This feeder rearrangement operation is performed based on production data prepared in advance according to the substrate type. For the purpose of improving the efficiency of this operation, the production data is installed in the setup change operation accompanying the substrate type switching. Display on an attached display device in a predetermined display format is performed (for example, see Patent Document 1). In the prior art shown in this patent document example, the feeder layout is displayed on a screen so that the feeder arrangement can be grasped visually, and the production data of the board type currently being produced is compared with the production data of the board type to be produced next. Thus, the parts feeder that needs to be replaced is taught to the operator.

These notification screens include a screen for displaying pointer data for feeder placement, such as a feeder placement screen 28 and a feeder attachment confirmation screen 29 shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, respectively. Therefore, the display unit 25 is a display unit that displays the above-described pointer data in a form that can be visually understood by the operator.

  The feeder mounting identification unit 26 identifies the mounting state of the tape feeder 5 in the component supply units 4A and 4B. Each of the plurality of tape feeders 5 mounted on the component supply units 4A and 4B includes an independent controller 5a. The controller 5a has a control function for controlling a tape feeding mechanism for pitch-feeding the carrier tape, a storage function and device for storing component data for the component type stored in the tape feeder 5 together with feeder data for specifying the tape feeder 5. It has a communication function to exchange control signals and feeder data with the main body. The control unit 20 can identify each tape feeder 5 by accessing the individual controller 5a via the feeder attachment identifying unit 26, and can also supply feeder data, component data, etc. stored by the storage function of the controller 5a. Can be referred to. The arrangement data update unit 20b2 refers to the identification result, whereby the arrangement state of the tape feeder 5 in the component supply units 4A and 4B is constantly updated in real time and stored in the current arrangement data 21b1.

  Here, based on the processing result executed by the feeder arrangement guideline creation unit 20b1, the feeder arrangement screen and the feeder installation confirmation screen displayed on the display unit 25 will be described. As shown in FIG. 5, in this embodiment, the feeder arrangement screen 28 is based on the individual board type data 21b2 stored in the storage unit 21, and for each address 28a, the current board type data 28b and the next board type data 28c. Is displayed. In the example shown in FIG. 5, as the current board type data 28b, the tape feeder 5 storing Pa-1, Pa-2, and Pa-3 is arranged at addresses 5, 6, and 7, respectively. As the next board type data 28c, An example is shown in which the tape feeder 5 storing Pb-1, Pb-2, Pb-3, and Pa-2 is arranged at addresses 3, 4, 5, and 6, respectively.

  By referring to the feeder arrangement screen 28, the worker associates the component type necessary for the production of the current board type and the part type necessary for the production of the next board type to be produced next with the mounting address. It is possible to contrast. Thereby, the operator can understand the work content required when switching the product type to the next board type. For example, in the example shown in FIG. 5, since the same component type is arranged for the address 6 in both the current board type data 28b and the next board type data 28c, it can be seen that it is not necessary to replace the tape feeder 5.

  Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the feeder attachment confirmation screen 29 is displayed on the display unit 25 for the purpose of facilitating the understanding of the above-described work content. As shown in FIG. 6, the feeder mounting confirmation screen 29 displays the contents of the next board type data 29b, the current board type data 29c, and the current arrangement data 29d in a form having a list property in association with each address 29a. It is a thing. The next board type data 29b and the current board type data 29c are acquired by referring to the individual board type data 21b2 stored in the storage unit 21, and the current arrangement data 29d is acquired by referring to the current arrangement data 21b1. Is done. Further, in the present embodiment, details of addresses to which the tape feeder 5 has already been attached or where the tape feeder 5 is to be newly placed are displayed in a state classified into the following four categories.

  First, the arranged address 5A indicates an address where the tape feeder 5 necessary for the production of the next board type is already installed in the current arrangement, and the mounting address on which the arranged address 5A is displayed is the next board type. There is no need to replace feeders for production. In other words, the arranged address 5A corresponds to the already installed feeder in the current arrangement among the tape feeders 5 included in the next board type data. For example, in the example shown in FIG. 5 and FIG. 6, as described above, the next board type data 29b and the current board type data 29c are the same component type for the address 6, and the current arrangement data 29d for the address 4 is used. Since the same component type as that already specified by the next board type data 29b corresponds, there is no need to newly change the feeder arrangement.

  Next, the dispositionable address 5B is that the mounting address in the next board type data is currently an empty slot, or even if the tape feeder 5 is attached, an unnecessary tape feeder 5 is attached to the current board type. Indicates an address. Therefore, it is possible to add the tape feeder 5 necessary for the production of the next substrate type to the placeable address 5B, and the placement work can be executed immediately. In other words, the dispositionable address 5B corresponds to a dispositionable feeder that can be additionally arranged in the current arrangement. For example, in the example shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, since the address 3 is in an empty slot state where the tape feeder 5 is not mounted in the current arrangement data 29d, the arrangement work is immediately performed even during the production of the current board. It is possible to execute.

  The standby address indicates the tape feeder 5 in which the tape feeder 5 in use included in the current board type data is included in the scheduled mounting address, and the placement operation of the tape feeder 5 to the standby address is executed. In this case, it is necessary to wait until the use of the substrate type is completed. That is, the standby address corresponds to a standby feeder that cannot be placed until the use of the board type is completed because the part feeder in use included in the current board type data is already installed in the scheduled mounting address. For example, in the example shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, since the tape feeder 5 is being used for the current board production for the current board in the current board type data 29c, the address 5 is arranged until the use by the board type is completed. Replacement work cannot be performed. The already mounted address 5D is an address that is not included in the next board type data 29b among the addresses that are already mounted on the tape feeder 5 at that time, and is that the unused tape feeder 5 is mounted at that time. It is shown. Here, for address 4, an example is shown in which the tape feeder 5 of the same component type (Pb-2) specified by the next board type data 29b is already mounted. As described above, it is not necessary to newly perform feeder rearrangement.

  The display for each category of the mounting address related to the feeder rearrangement is variously displayed as shown in FIG. 6, such as a method of distinguishing by attaching a different graphic for each category or a method of displaying in a different color for each category. The form can be selected. In the present embodiment, as described above, the display unit 25 is used as the display means for displaying the pointer data, but the operator can visually understand the contents of the pointer data as the display means. Any method other than the method of displaying on the display unit 25 provided on the operation panel may be used as long as it can be displayed in the form. For example, in the feeder mounting sections of the component supply units 4A and 4B, indicator lights may be arranged for each mounting address, and the colors of these indicator lights may be lit in different colors for each of the above categories.

  That is, the feeder placement guideline creating unit 20b1 uses the next board type data 29b corresponding to the next board type to be produced next in the individual board type data 21b2 as the current production board type that is the production target at that time. Compared with the current board type data 29c and the current arrangement data 21b1 corresponding to the above, the guide data referred to as a guideline for executing the feeder arrangement work for the production of the next board type is created.

  Here, the feeder placement guideline creation unit 20b1 is a tape feeder 5 included in the next board type data 29b, a placed feeder that is already installed in the current placement, a placeable feeder that can be placed in the current placement, and a schedule. For each of the standby feeders that cannot be placed until the use of the board type is completed because the part feeder being used included in the current board type data in the mounting address is already mounted, the tape feeder 5 and the corresponding mounting address The guideline data showing the relation is created. The guide data includes data indicating a correspondence relationship between the individual tape feeders 5 and the mounting addresses that specify the positions where the tape feeders 5 should be mounted.

  In addition, the arrangement data update unit 20b2 updates the current arrangement data in real time based on the feeder identification data automatically identified by the feeder installation identification unit 26 for the individual tape feeders mounted on the component supply units 4A and 4B. That is, the feeder attachment identifying unit 26 and the arrangement data updating unit 20b2 have a function of updating the current arrangement data 21b1 in real time by automatically identifying the individual tape feeders 5 attached to the component supply units 4A and 4B. Have.

  The component mounting apparatus of the present invention is configured as described above, and the feeder placement work process in the component mounting method according to the present apparatus will be described below. Here, in a component mounting method in which electronic components are taken out from the component supply units 4A and 4B in which a plurality of tape feeders 7 are arranged side by side and are continuously mounted on a plurality of types of substrates 3, the next production target. The work processing performed in order to complete the feeder arrangement | positioning required for production of the next board | substrate kind is shown.

  First, prior to the start of component mounting work, feeder arrangement data 21b is stored in the storage unit 21 in the form of current arrangement data 21b1 and individual board type data 21b2 (ST1). That is, the feeder arrangement data set corresponding to each of the plurality of board types to be produced in the apparatus is stored as the individual board type data 21b2, and the individual tapes mounted on the component supply units 4A and 4B. Based on the identification result automatically identified by the feeder attachment identifying unit 26, the feeder 5 is updated in real time by the arrangement data updating unit 20b2 and stored as the current arrangement data 21b1.

  Next, the next board type data 28c is compared with the current arrangement data 21b1, and the guideline data for executing the feeder arrangement work as the basis of the feeder installation confirmation screen 29 shown in FIG. 6 is created (ST2). That is, among the individual board type data 21b2, the next board type data 29b corresponding to the next board type to be produced next is changed to the current board type data 29c corresponding to the current production board type to be produced at that time and Compared with the current arrangement data 29d, the data is referred to in order to execute feeder arrangement work for the purpose of producing the next board type, and the individual tape feeders 5 and the positions where these should be mounted are specified. The guideline data indicating the correspondence with the mounting address to be created is created.

  Thereafter, when the component mounting operation is started, the component mounting operation is executed for a plurality of board types. In the component mounting work process, the guideline data for the next board type is displayed during the execution of the production work for the current production board type (ST3). Thereby, the feeder installation confirmation screen 29 shown in FIG. 6 is displayed on the display unit 25, and feeder placement work for production of the next substrate type is executed based on the display content (ST4). That is, by referring to the feeder mounting confirmation screen 29, the operator can perform feeder placement work for which mounting address and at what point to complete feeder placement corresponding to the next board type data 29b. It can be easily judged whether it is possible. Then, after the feeder placement work is completed in this way, the component mounting work for the next board type is started (ST5).

  As described above, in the component mounting shown in the present embodiment, the next board type data corresponding to the next board type to be produced next corresponds to the current production board type to be produced at that time. By comparing the current board type data and the current layout data, the feeder placement work for the purpose of producing the next board type is shown by showing the correspondence between each part feeder and the mounting address that specifies the position where these parts should be mounted. Create guideline data to be referenced for execution. This guideline data is displayed in a form that is visually understandable by the worker during the execution of the production work for the current production board type, and for the production of the next board type during the production work based on this display content. The feeder arrangement work is executed.

  That is, prior to the completion of production, information necessary for feeder rearrangement work, which was displayed after the completion of production of one board type in the prior art, is displayed, and the state of the parts feeder already installed at that time The display contents reflect the current arrangement data indicating. Thereby, feeder rearrangement work for the next production board can be efficiently executed prior to completion of production of the current production board.

  The component mounting apparatus and the component mounting method of the present invention have an effect that the feeder rearrangement work for the next production board can be efficiently executed prior to the completion of the production of the current production board. It can be used in the field of manufacturing a mounting board on which electronic components are mounted.
