The number of sheets determination process is executed as the target. Specifically, in the number-of-sheet determination process, the ratio of the number of pallets required for the production of the substrate to be executed for each type of parts is obtained based on the parts supply information and the parts usage information. Then, the number of pallets for each type of parts to be accommodated in the pallet rack in the setup work for the production of the substrate to be executed is determined according to the ratio. According to the present invention, the parts of each type used in the production of the substrate to which the number-of-sheet determination process is executed are housed in the pallet rack in the number corresponding to the ratio in which each is used.

FIG. 1 is a plan view schematically showing an example of an application target of setup work based on the setup support device according to the present invention. In FIG. 1 and the following figures, a three-dimensional Cartesian coordinate system indicating the X direction (board transport direction), the Y direction (front-back direction), and the Z direction (vertical direction) is appropriately shown. The surface mounter 1 has a schematic configuration in which the components supplied from the component supply units 4 and 5 are mounted by the head unit 3 on the substrate B carried in by the substrate transfer mechanism 2.

In the surface mount device 1, a substrate transport mechanism 2 that transports the substrate B in the substrate transport direction X is arranged on the base 11. The substrate transfer mechanism 2 has a configuration in which two conveyors 21 extending in the substrate transfer direction X are arranged at intervals in the width direction Y. The two conveyors 21 convey the substrate B carried in from the upstream side (−X side) of the substrate transport direction X to the downstream side (+ X side) of the substrate transport direction X, and perform a predetermined mounting work position (FIG. 1). Stop at the position of the substrate B). The substrate B stopped at the mounting work position is fixed at the mounting work position by a holding mechanism (not shown). Further, the two conveyors 21 carry out the board B, which has received component mounting at the mounting work position, from the mounting work position to the downstream side (+ X side) of the board transport direction X.

The component mounting on the board B fixed at the mounting work position is executed by the head unit 3 transferring the components supplied from the component supply units 4 and 5 to the board B. The head unit 3 has a configuration in which a plurality of mounting heads 31 having suction nozzles at the tips thereof are arranged in the substrate transport direction X. Then, the head unit 3 moves in the X direction and the Y direction above the conveyor 21, picks up the supplied components from the component supply units 4 and 5 by the suction nozzle, and transfers them to the substrate B at the mounting work position. .. Such movement of the head unit 3 is executed by the following configuration.

That is, a Y-axis fixed rail 71 extending in the Y direction and a Y-axis ball screw shaft 73 rotated by the Y-axis servomotor 72 are provided on the base 11. The head unit support member 74 is movably supported by the Y-axis fixed rail 71, and a nut portion 75 provided on the head unit support member 74 is screwed onto the Y-axis ball screw shaft 73. Further, the head unit support member 74 is provided with an X-axis guide member (not shown) extending in the X direction and an X-axis ball screw shaft 77 rotated by the X-axis servomotor 76. The head unit 3 is movably supported by an X-axis guide member, and a nut portion (not shown) provided on the head unit 3 is screwed onto the X-axis ball screw shaft 77.

Then, when the Y-axis servomotor 72 operates, the head unit 3 moves in the Y direction along with the head unit support member 74. Further, when the X-axis servomotor 76 operates, the head unit 3 moves in the X direction with respect to the head unit support member 74. In this way, the head unit 3 moves between the upper position of the component supply units 4 and 5 and the upper position of the mounting work position to pick up and transfer the component.

The component supply unit 4 is arranged on the front side (+ Y side) of the substrate transfer mechanism 2. The component supply unit 4 has a configuration in which a plurality of tape feeders 41 are arranged in the X direction. Each tape feeder 41 has a configuration in which a tape containing relatively small chip parts such as an IC (Integrated Circuit), a transistor, and a capacitor is taken out from a reel at predetermined intervals, and each tape feeder 41 intermittently feeds the tape. The component is picked up by the head unit 3 and transferred to the board B at the mounting work position.

The component supply unit 5 is arranged on the rear side (−Y side) of the substrate transfer mechanism 2. In the example shown in FIG. 1, two component supply units 5 are arranged in the X direction, but since they have a common configuration and perform the same operation, basically 1 is described below. The individual parts supply unit 5 will be described. The parts supply unit 5 has the same configuration as the parts supply device of JP-A-2006-198375, for example, and can be used for relatively large package parts such as QFP (Quad Flat Package) and BGA (Ball grid array). Supply. Specifically, the parts supply unit 5 includes a pallet exchange 6 capable of accommodating a plurality of pallets P, and a pallet transfer mechanism 51 that conveys the pallets P in the Y direction between the pallet exchange 6 and the parts supply position Ls. To be equipped. Then, the pallet P on which the parts are placed is pulled out from the pallet changer 6 to the parts supply position Ls by the pallet transfer mechanism 51, so that the parts are supplied. That is, the parts on the pallet P pulled out to the parts supply position Ls are picked up by the head unit 3 and transferred to the board B at the mounting work position.

Incidentally, the parts are placed on the pallet P via the tray T. A plurality of package parts are arranged in the tray T, and the pallet P has a configuration in which a single tray T or a plurality of trays T are supported in a fixed state by a magnetic force or the like. Then, in this embodiment, the pallet switching machine 6 can replace the pallet P supplied to the component supply position Ls.

FIG. 2 is a diagram schematically showing an example of the configuration and operation of the pallet switch provided in the component mounting device illustrated in FIG. 1. As shown in the figure, each of the pallet exchanges 6 has a pallet rack 61 in which a plurality of accommodating portions S capable of accommodating the pallet P are laminated in the Z direction. In the figure, in order to distinguish the plurality of accommodating portions S, integers from "1" to "10" are attached to the reference numerals S (accommodating portions S1 to S10). Each of the accommodating portions S1 to S10 accommodates the pallet P in a horizontally held state, and the pallet P can be inserted and removed through an opening facing the front side (+ Y side) in the Y direction. Further, the pallet exchange 6 has an elevating portion 62 for elevating and lowering the pallet rack 61. Therefore, by moving the plurality of accommodating portions S1 to S10 relative to the pallet transport mechanism 51 in the Z direction by the elevating portion 62, one of the plurality of accommodating portions S1 to S10 can be moved together with the pallet transport mechanism 51. It can be positioned at the insertion / removal position Li where the pallet P can be delivered between them.

Subsequently, an example of the operation of the pallet exchange 6 will be described with reference to FIG. In FIG. 2, the pallet P pulled out to the component supply position Ls is returned to the accommodating portion S1, while the pallet P accommodated in the accommodating portion S3 is pulled out to the component supply position Ls to replace the pallet P. Illustrated. When replacing the pallet P, an insertion preparation operation for preparing the pallet P to be inserted into the accommodating portion S being pulled out is executed. That is, as shown in the column of "insertion preparation operation" in FIG. 2, the accommodating portion S1 to which the pallet P being pulled out is inserted is positioned at the insertion / removal position Li. Subsequently, as shown in the “insertion operation” column of FIG. 2, the pallet transfer mechanism 51 inserts the pallet P into the accommodating portion S1 positioned at the insertion / removal position Li. When this insertion operation is completed, a drawer preparation operation for preparing the pallet P for withdrawal from the accommodating portion S is executed. That is, as shown in the column of "pull-out preparation operation" in FIG. 2, the accommodating portion S3 in which the pallet P to be extracted next is accommodated is positioned at the insertion / removal position Li. Subsequently, as shown in the “pull-out operation” of FIG. 2, the pallet transport mechanism 51 pulls out the pallet P from the accommodating portion S3 positioned at the insertion / removal position Li. In this way, the replacement of the pallet P is completed. Although the pallet exchange between the accommodating portions S1 and S3 is illustrated in FIG. 2, the pallet exchange can be similarly performed between the accommodating portions S different from these.

For the parts supply unit 5 provided with such a pallet exchange 6, an operator appropriately executes a setup operation for accommodating the pallet P in each accommodating unit S of the pallet rack 61. Then, in the present embodiment, a setup support device for supporting this setup work is provided.

FIG. 3 is a block diagram schematically showing an example of an electrical configuration included in the setup support device. The setup support device 8 is realized by installing the setup support program 80 on a computer, and supports the setup work by presenting the pallets P to be accommodated in each of the plurality of accommodating units S1 to S10 to the operator. The setup support program 80 may be provided by a recording medium 9 composed of, for example, a CD (Compact Disc), a DVD (Digital Versatile Disc), or a USB (Universal Serial Bus) memory, or may be provided by downloading from an Internet server. May be done.

The setup support device 8 includes a calculation unit 81, which is a processor composed of a CPU (Central Processing Unit) and a memory, a storage unit 82 composed of an HDD (Hard Disk Drive), and a display 83. The calculation unit 81 executes the calculation required for the setup support. The storage unit 82 stores various information such as component supply information Is and component usage information Iu required for setup support. Here, the component supply information Is indicates the number of components that can be supplied by one pallet P for each type of component, and the component usage information Iu mounts the component supplied by the component supply unit 5 on the substrate B. The number of parts used in the board production plan is shown for each type of parts. These information Is and Iu are input to the storage unit 82 in advance by the operator. In addition, the display 83 displays the setup support content calculated by the calculation unit 81.

FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing a first example of the setup support executed by the setup support device. In the flowchart of the figure, a plurality of boards B of a single type (board type) are produced by repeating the operation of mounting a plurality of types Ca and Cb (part types) on the board B on the plurality of boards B. Supports setup work for board production plans. This flowchart is executed by the calculation unit 81 based on the setup support program 80. Here, the operation of the flowchart of FIG. 4 will be described based on the specific examples shown in FIGS. 5 to 8, and then the operation of the flowchart of FIG. 4 will be described based on another specific example shown in FIGS. 9 to 12.

FIG. 5 is a diagram showing a specific example of parts supply information in the first example of setup support, FIG. 6 is a diagram showing a specific example of parts usage information in the first example of setup support, and FIG. 7 is a diagram showing a specific example of parts usage information in the first example of setup support. FIG. 8 is a diagram showing a specific example of the calculation result of the number of pallets executed in the first example, and FIG. 8 is a diagram showing a specific example of the calculation result of the setup mode executed in the first example of the setup support.

As shown in FIG. 4, in step S101, the calculation unit 81 reads the component supply information Is and the component usage information Iu from the storage unit 82. Then, the calculation unit 81 calculates the number of pallets P required for the substrate production plan for each type of component (step S102). As shown in FIG. 5, the number of parts of type Ca that can be placed on one pallet P is 30, and the number of parts of type Cb that can be placed on one pallet P is 18. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 6, the number of parts of type Ca used in the substrate production plan is 70, and the number of parts of type Cb used in the substrate production plan is 90. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 7, the number of pallets P of the parts of type Ca required for the substrate production plan is 2.3 (= 70/30). At this time, since the pallets P are supplied in units of one, the number of the pallets P required for the substrate production plan is three. Further, the number of pallets of parts of type Cb required for the substrate production plan is 5 (= 90/18).

In step S103, the calculation unit 81 determines based on the calculation result in step S102 whether all the pallets P required for the substrate production plan can be accommodated in the pallet rack 61 in one setup operation. In this example, the total number of pallets P used in the substrate production plan is 8 (= 3 + 5), which is the maximum number that can be accommodated in the pallet rack 61, which is 10 or less. 81 determines "YES" in step S103 and proceeds to step S104.

In step S104, the calculation unit 81 determines the storage unit S for accommodating the pallets P of the parts of each type Ca and Cb used in the substrate production planning in the setup work based on the calculation result in step S102 (step S104). ). As a result, as shown in FIG. 8, the calculation unit 81 accommodates one pallet P on which the parts of the type Ca are placed in each of the storage units S1 to S3, and the parts of the type Cb are placed. It is determined that one pallet P is accommodated in each of the accommodating portions S4 to S8. As a result, 90 types Ca parts are housed in the pallet rack 61 and 90 types Cb parts are housed in the pallet rack 61 in one setup operation. Then, the display 83 displays the determined content in step S104 (step S105), and the setup support of FIG. 4 ends.

FIG. 9 is a diagram showing another specific example of the component supply information in the first example of the setup support, and FIG. 10 is a diagram showing another specific example of the component usage information in the first example of the setup support. Is a diagram showing another specific example of the calculation result of the number of pallets executed in the first example of the setup support, and FIG. 12 is another specific example of the calculation result of the setup mode executed in the first example of the setup support. It is a figure which shows.

As shown in FIG. 4, in step S101, the calculation unit 81 reads the component supply information Is and the component usage information Iu from the storage unit 82. Then, the calculation unit 81 calculates the number of pallets P required for the substrate production plan for each type of component. As shown in FIG. 9, the number of parts of type Ca that can be placed on the pallet P is 30, and the number of parts of type Cb that can be placed on the pallet P is 18. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 10, the number of parts of type Ca used in the substrate production plan is 184, and the number of parts of type Cb used in the substrate production plan is 144. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 11, the number of pallets P of the parts of type Ca required for the substrate production plan is 6.1 (= 184/30), that is, 7. Further, the number of pallets of parts of type Cb required for the substrate production plan is 8 (= 144/18).

In step S103, the calculation unit 81 determines based on the calculation result in step S102 whether all the pallets P required for the substrate production plan can be accommodated in the pallet rack 61 in one setup operation. In this example, the total number of pallets P used in the substrate production plan is 15 (= 7 + 8), which is more than the maximum number of 10 that can be accommodated in the pallet rack 61. Therefore, the calculation unit 81 Determines "NO" in step S103 and proceeds to step S105.

In step S106, the calculation unit 81 calculates the ratio (usage ratio) of the number of pallets P required for the substrate production plan for each type of parts. That is, the usage ratio of the number of pallets P on which the parts of type Ca are placed is calculated to be 6.1 / 14.1, and the usage ratio of the number of pallets P on which the parts of type Cb are placed is 8/14. It is calculated as .1. In the calculation of the usage ratio, the raw value obtained by dividing the number of parts required for the substrate production plan by the number of parts that can be placed on the pallet P is used as the number of pallets.

In step S107, the calculation unit 81 allocates the ten accommodating units S of the pallet rack 61 to the pallets P of each type of component according to the usage ratio thereof. That is, for the pallet P on which the parts of type Ca are placed, it is determined that 10 pieces × 6.1 / 14.1 = 4 pieces are stored in the pallet rack 61 in one setup operation, and the storage destination is stored. It is referred to as a part S1 to S4. As a result, 120 kinds of Ca parts are accommodated in the pallet rack 61 in each of the setup operations executed a plurality of times. Further, regarding the pallet P on which the parts of the type Cb are placed, it is determined that 10 pieces × 8 / 14.1 = 6 pieces are stored in the pallet rack 61 in one setup operation, and the storage destination is the storage unit S5. ~ S10. As a result, 108 parts of type Cb are accommodated in the pallet rack 61 in each of the setup operations executed a plurality of times. In the calculation here, the numbers after the decimal point are rounded off. Then, the display 83 displays the determined content in step S107 (step S105), and the setup support of FIG. 4 ends.

In the embodiment described above, the number of substrates B (a plurality of substrates B of a single type) that cannot accommodate all the pallets P required for the production in the pallet rack 61 in one setup operation is determined. The process is executed (steps S106, S107). Specifically, in the number-of-sheet determination process, the ratio of the number of parts of the number of pallets P required for the production of the substrate B to be executed for each type Ca and Cb is obtained based on the parts supply information Is and the parts usage information Iu ( Step S106). Then, the number of pallets for each type Ca and Cb of the parts to be accommodated in the pallet rack 61 in the setup work for the production of the substrate B to be executed is determined according to the ratio (step S107). According to such an embodiment, the parts of each type Ca and Cb used for the production of the substrate B for which the number-of-sheet determination process is executed are housed in the pallet rack 61 in the number corresponding to the ratio in which each is used. It will be. Therefore, the parts of each type Ca and Cb disappear from the parts supply unit 5 at substantially the same timing as the substrate production is executed. Therefore, the frequency of occurrence of the setup work can be suppressed as compared with the case where the parts of each type are lost at different timings and the setup work is performed each time. In this way, it is possible to reduce the frequency of setup work and reduce the burden on the operator.

In particular, when the calculation unit 81 cannot accommodate all the pallets P required for the production of a plurality of substrates B of a single type produced based on the substrate production plan in the pallet rack 61 in one setup operation. The number-of-sheet determination process is executed for the plurality of boards B of the single type as execution targets. In this way, in the case of producing a plurality of substrates B of a single type, by executing the number determination process, each type of component used for the production of the substrate B to be executed is used. The number of the pallet racks 61 is accommodated according to the ratio to be formed. As a result, it is possible to reduce the frequency of setup work and reduce the burden on the operator.

FIG. 13 is a diagram showing a specific example of the substrate production plan which is the target of the second example of the setup support. The second example of setup support differs from the first example in that it is executed for a substrate production plan in which a predetermined number of substrates B11 and B12 of a plurality of types (board types) are produced in this production order. The flowchart is basically the same as that of FIG. 4 of the first example. However, the specific operations of steps S106 and S107 are different due to the difference in the substrate production plan.

That is, in step S106, the calculation unit 81 calculates the ratio of each type of pallet number required to complete the production of all of the plurality of types of substrates B11 and B12 scheduled to be produced in the substrate production plan. To do. Specifically, the number of pallets P required for the production of all the substrates B11 and B12 is 18 (= 2 + 4 + 8 + 4). Therefore, the usage ratio of the number of pallets P on which the parts of type Ca are placed is calculated as 2/8, and the usage ratio of the number of pallets P on which the parts of type Cb are placed is calculated as 4/18. The usage ratio of the number of pallets P on which the parts of type Cc are placed is calculated as 8/18, and the usage ratio of the number of pallets P on which the parts of type Cd are placed is calculated as 4/18.

In step S107, the calculation unit 81 allocates the ten accommodating units S1 to S10 of the pallet rack 61 to the pallets P of each type of component according to the usage ratio thereof. As a result, one pallet P (= 10 × 2/18) of the parts of the type Ca is assigned to the accommodating portion S1, and two parts of the type Cb (=) are assigned to the accommodating portions S2 to S3. 10 × 4/18) pallets P are assigned, and four (= 10 × 8/18) pallets P of parts of type Cc are assigned to the accommodating units S4 to S7, and the accommodating units S8 to S9 are assigned. On the other hand, two pallets P of parts of type Cd are assigned.

Then, the accommodation destination of the pallet P thus assigned is displayed on the display 83 (step S105), and the first setup is executed according to the display result. If some of the parts are lost due to the execution of substrate production, the pallet P of the parts can be appropriately replenished to the pallet rack 61.

In the embodiment described above, the number-of-sheet determination process is executed for all of the plurality of types of substrates B11 and B12 scheduled to be produced in the substrate production plan (steps S106 and S107). Specifically, in the number-of-sheet determination process, the ratio for each type Ca, Cb, Cc, and Cd of the number of parts of the pallet P required for the production of the substrates B11 and B12 to be executed is the part supply information Is and the part usage information. Obtained based on Iu (step S106). Then, the number of pallets for each type Ca, Cb, Cc, and Cd of the parts to be accommodated in the pallet rack 61 in the setup work for the production of the substrates B11 and B12 is determined according to the ratio (step S107). According to such an embodiment, the parts of each type Ca, Cb, Cc, and Cd used for the production of the substrate B to which the number-of-sheet determination process is executed are the pallet rack 61 in the number corresponding to the ratio in which each is used. Will be housed in. As a result, it is possible to reduce the frequency of setup work and reduce the burden on the operator.

FIG. 14 is a flowchart showing a third example of the setup support executed by the setup support device. The flowchart of the figure is executed by the calculation unit 81 based on the setup support program 80. FIG. 15 is a diagram showing a specific example of the substrate production plan that is the target of the third example of the setup support, and FIG. 16 shows another specific example of the calculation result of the setup mode executed in the third example of the setup support. It is a figure. The third example of the setup support corresponds to the support of the setup work for the board production plan in which a plurality of types (board types) of boards B1, B2, B3, and B4 are produced in a predetermined number of pieces in this production order. Specifically, a plurality of types of Ca and Cb (part type) components are mounted on the substrate B1, a single type Cc component is mounted on the substrate B2, and a plurality of types of components are mounted on the substrate B3. The components of Cd and Ce are mounted, and the components of a single type Cf are mounted on the substrate B4.

As shown in FIG. 14, in step S201, the calculation unit 81 reads the component supply information Is and the component usage information Iu from the storage unit 82. Then, the calculation unit 81 calculates the number of pallets P required for the substrate production plan for each type of parts (step S202). As shown in FIG. 15, the number of parts of the types Ca, Cb, Cc, Cd, Ce, and Cf that can be placed on the pallet P is 30, 18, 16, 10, 10, and 20, respectively. .. On the other hand, the number of parts of the types Ca, Cb, Cc, Cd, Ce, and Cf used in the substrate production plan is 60, 54, 40, 80, 40, and 100, respectively. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 15, the number of pallets P of the parts of the types Ca, Cb, Cc, Cd, Ce, and Cf required for the substrate production plan is 2, 3, 3, 8, respectively. It will be 4 or 5 sheets.

Then, after resetting the parameter M indicating the number of setup operations to zero (step S203), the calculation unit determines whether all the pallets P required for the substrate production plan can be accommodated in the pallet rack 61 in one setup operation. , The determination is made based on the calculation result of step S202 (step S204). When it is determined that all the pallets P can be accommodated (“YES” in step S204), the process proceeds to step S205, and the accommodation destination of each pallet P in the setup work is determined in the same manner as in step S104 described above. Then, the display 83 displays the determined content in step S104 (step S206), and the setup support of FIG. 14 ends.

On the other hand, if it is determined that all the pallets P cannot be accommodated (“NO” in step S204), the process proceeds to step S207. In the specific example shown in FIGS. 15 and 16, the number of pallets P required for the substrate production plan is 25, which is more than 10, and therefore, it is determined as “NO” in step S204. Then, in step S207, the parameter M is incremented.

In step S208, among the pallets P whose allocation to the setup work is undecided, can the calculation unit 81 accommodate all the pallets P corresponding to the first produced substrate B in the pallet rack 61 in the Mth setup work? To judge. Here, since the ten accommodating portions S1 to S10 of the pallet rack 61 are vacant, the five pallets P of the parts of the types Ca and Cb used for the production of the target substrate B1 are set up for the Mth time. It is determined that the pallet can be accommodated (“YES” in step S208). Therefore, in step S209, the five pallets P are assigned to the Mth (first) setup work. As a result, as shown in FIG. 16, the pallet P of the parts of the type Ca is accommodated in the accommodating portions S1 to S2 in the Mth (first) setup work, and the pallet P of the parts of the type Cb is accommodated in the Mth (first) setup work. In the setup work of the first time), it is determined that the accommodation units S3 to S5 are accommodated, and the process returns to step S208.

In the second step S208, the calculation unit 81 determines whether all the pallets P corresponding to the substrate B2 can be accommodated in the Mth setup operation. Here, since the five accommodating portions S6 to S10 of the pallet rack 61 are vacant, the three pallets P of the parts of the type Cc used for the production of the target substrate B2 are accommodated in the Mth setup work. It is determined that it is possible (“YES” in step S208). Therefore, in step S209, the three pallets P are assigned to the Mth (first) setup work. As a result, as shown in FIG. 16, it is determined that the pallet P of the parts of the type Cc is to be accommodated in the accommodating portions S6 to S8 in the Mth (first) setup operation, and the process returns to step S208.

In the third step S208, the calculation unit 81 determines whether all the pallets P corresponding to the substrate B3 can be accommodated in the Mth setup operation. Here, the number of pallets P corresponding to the substrate B3 is 12 which is the total of the number of pallets P of the parts of the type Cd (8) and the number of the pallets P of the parts of the type Ce (4). is there. On the other hand, the number of vacant accommodating portions S9 and S10 in the pallet rack 61 is 2, which is smaller than the number of target pallets P (12). Therefore, in step S208, it is determined that the accommodation is not possible (NO), and the process proceeds to step S210.

In step S210, it is determined whether or not the number of empty accommodating portions S9 and 10 is a predetermined number (for example, 3) or more. Here, since the number of empty accommodating portions S9 and S10 is two and less than three, it is determined as "NO" in step S210, and the process proceeds to step S213. Then, in step S213, it is determined whether or not all the pallets P used in the substrate production plan have been assigned to the setup work. Here, since the allocation of the pallets P used for the production of the substrates B3 and B4 to the setup work has not been determined, the process returns to step S204.

In step S204, since all the pallets P used for the production of the substrates B3 and B4 cannot be accommodated in one setup operation, it is determined as "NO". Then, after the parameter M is incremented in step S207, the process proceeds to step S208. In this step S208, the calculation unit 81 determines whether all the pallets P corresponding to the substrate B3 can be accommodated in the Mth setup operation. Here, the number of pallets P corresponding to the substrate B3 is 12, while the number of vacant accommodating portions S1 to S10 in the pallet rack 61 is 10, and the number of target pallets P (12). Sheet) less. Therefore, in step S208, it is determined that the accommodation is not possible (NO), and the process proceeds to step S210.

In step S210, it is determined whether or not the number of empty accommodating portions S1 to 10 is a predetermined number (for example, 3) or more. Here, since the number of empty accommodating portions S1 to S10 is 10 and is 3 or more, it is determined as "YES" in step S210, and the process proceeds to step S211. In step S211 the calculation unit 81 calculates the ratio (usage ratio) of the number of pallets P required for the production of the target substrate B3 for each type of parts. That is, the usage ratio of the number of pallets P on which the parts of type Cd are placed is calculated as 8/12, and the usage ratio of the number of pallets P on which the parts of type Ce are placed is calculated as 4/12. ..

In step S212, the calculation unit 81 allocates ten vacant storage units S1 to S10 in the pallet rack 61 to the pallets P of each type of component according to the usage ratio thereof. Here, the ratio between the number of pallets P on which the parts of type Cd are placed and the number of pallets P on which the parts of type Ce are placed is 8/12: 4/12, respectively. The accommodation location is decided. As a result, in the Mth (second) setup work, it is decided to accommodate the six pallets P on which the parts of the type Cd are placed, and the accommodation destinations thereof are determined in the accommodation units S1 to S6. Further, in the Mth (second) setup work, the three pallets P on which the parts of the type Ce are placed are to be accommodated, and the accommodation destinations thereof are determined in the accommodating portions S7 to S9.

Subsequently, in step S213, it is determined whether or not all the pallets P used in the substrate production plan have been assigned to the setup work. Here, since the allocation of a part of the pallets P used for the production of the substrate B3 and the pallets P used for the production of the substrate B4 to the setup work has not been determined, the process returns to step S204. The remaining pallets P are three pallets P of type Cd and Ce used for the production of the substrate B3 and five pallets P of the type Cf used for the production of the substrate B4. Therefore, in step S204, it is determined that the remaining pallets P can be accommodated (YES) in one setup operation, and the process proceeds to step S205, and each pallet P in the setup operation is performed in the same manner as in step S104 described above. Determine the accommodation location. Then, in step S213, it is determined that the allocation to the setup work has been determined (YES) for all the pallets, and the display 83 displays the determined content shown in FIG. 16 (step S206). In this way, the setup support of FIG. 14 is completed.

In the embodiment described above, the number-of-sheet determination process is executed for the substrate B3 in which all the pallets P required for the production cannot be accommodated in the pallet rack 61 in one setup operation (steps S211 and S212). .. Specifically, in the number-of-sheet determination process, the ratio for each type Cd and Ce of the number of parts of the pallet P required for the production of the substrate B3 to be executed is obtained based on the parts supply information Is and the parts usage information Iu ( Step S211). Then, the number of pallets for each type Cd and Ce of the parts to be accommodated in the pallet rack 61 in the setup work for the production of the substrate B3 to be executed is determined according to the ratio (step S212). According to such an embodiment, the parts of each type Cd and Ce used for the production of the substrate B3 to be executed of the number-of-sheet determination process are housed in the pallet rack 61 in the number corresponding to the ratio in which each is used. It will be. Therefore, the parts of each type Cd and Ce are removed from the parts supply unit 5 at substantially the same timing as the substrate production is executed. Therefore, the frequency of occurrence of the setup work can be suppressed as compared with the case where the parts of each type are lost at different timings and the setup work is performed each time. In this way, it is possible to reduce the frequency of setup work and reduce the burden on the operator.

In addition, the calculation unit 81 executes a pallet determination process for determining the pallets P to be stored in the pallet rack 61 based on the production order in each of the plurality of setup operations (steps S204, S207 to S213). Then, the number of sheets determination process is executed for the substrates B3 of the types Cd and Ce determined by the pallet determination process that all the pallets P necessary for the production cannot be accommodated in the pallet rack 61 in one setup operation. In this way, even when a plurality of types of substrates B1 to B4 are produced in order, by executing the number-of-sheet determination process, the parts of each type Cd and Ce used for the production of the substrate B3 to be executed. Will be housed in the pallet rack 61 in the number corresponding to the ratio in which each is used. As a result, it is possible to reduce the frequency of setup work and reduce the burden on the operator.

Usage information Iu corresponds to an example of "parts usage information" of the present invention, steps S106 and S107 or steps S211 and S212 correspond to an example of "number of sheets determination process" of the present invention, and steps S204 and S207 to S213 are present. Corresponds to an example of the "pallet determination process" of the present invention, the setup support device 8 corresponds to an example of the "computer" of the present invention, and the setup support program 80 corresponds to an example of the "setup support program" of the present invention. The medium 9 corresponds to an example of the "recording medium" 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, the number of pallets P that can be accommodated in the pallet rack 61 is not limited to 10. That is, the pallet rack 61 may be any one capable of accommodating a plurality of pallets P.

Further, the specific configuration of the pallet rack 61 can be changed as appropriate. For example, when the parts of the pallet P are thicker than a predetermined value, the flat plate between the two adjacent accommodating portions S can be removed so that these two accommodating portions S can be used as one accommodating portion S. A pallet rack 61 can also be configured. That is, the number of pallets P that can be accommodated in the pallet rack 61 is variable according to the thickness of the parts placed on the pallets P. However, there is an upper limit (10 in the example of FIG. 2) in the variable range of the number of pallets P, and the number of pallets P is variable within this variable range. When such a pallet P is used, in the number-of-sheet determination process, the number of parts to be accommodated in the pallet rack 61 is changed by changing the number of pallets P that can be accommodated in the pallet rack 61. The number of pallets P may be determined. Such a configuration makes it possible to accommodate an appropriate number of pallets P according to the change in the number of pallets P that can be accommodated in the pallet rack 61 in each setup work, which contributes to the realization of efficient setup work.

Further, the flowchart of FIG. 4 or FIG. 14 may be changed as appropriate. For example, in the flowchart of FIG. 14, when the number of empty accommodating portions S is a predetermined number or more in step S210, no more pallets P are assigned to the target setup work. However, step S210 may be omitted and the pallet P may be allocated to the target setup work as long as there is an empty accommodating portion S in the pallet rack 61.

Alternatively, in the example of FIG. 14, that is, in the third example, the components for the substrate B whose parts are cut from the pallet rack 61 during the production are accommodated in the pallet rack 61 of the components for the other type of substrate B. A restriction may be added that the setup is not the same as that of the pallet rack 61. That is, as shown in FIG. 16, the parts of the types Cd and Ce used for the production of the substrate B3 are cut from the pallet rack 61 during the production of the substrate B3. Therefore, in the third example, the remaining parts of the type Cd and Ce for the substrate B3 were housed in the pallet rack 61 with the same setup as the parts of the type Cd for the substrate B4. On the other hand, for the types Cd and Ce for the substrate B3, the rest is replenished when the substrate B3 is cut off during production, and the parts of the type Cd for the substrate B4 are set up differently from this replenishment. It may be accommodated in the pallet rack 61. At this time, in the second setup, for example, 7 pallets P of parts of type Cd may be accommodated instead of 6.

Needless to say, the numerical values shown in FIGS. 5 to 8 or 15 and 16 are merely examples. Therefore, in the calculation example using rounding, the decimal point may be rounded down instead of rounding. Furthermore, if the total number of pallets P of a specific type obtained from the calculation result cannot be accommodated in the pallet rack 61 due to the handling method after the decimal point, the number of pallets P of the specific type is reduced by one. The subtraction process may be executed as appropriate. In short, the result of simply calculating the number of pallets P based on the usage ratio may include decimal points, whereas the unit that can accommodate the pallet P in the pallet rack 61 is one, so the usage ratio is The number of pallets P to be accommodated in the pallet rack 61 may be appropriately adjusted by adding an appropriate operation to the calculation result obtained based on the above.

Therefore, the number of the pallets for each type of the parts to be accommodated in the pallet rack in the setup work is determined according to the ratio.
The substrate production plan indicates a plan for producing a plurality of types of substrates in a predetermined number of sheets according to a predetermined production order.
The computer determines the pallets to be stored in the pallet rack in each of the plurality of setup operations based on the production order, so that the pallet rack can be stored in the pallet rack for each of the plurality of setup operations. A pallet determination process for allocating the pallets to be accommodated is executed, and a substrate of a type determined by the pallet determination process that all the pallets necessary for the production cannot be accommodated in the pallet rack in one setup operation is the execution target. The number-of-sheet determination process is executed as
In the number-of-sheet determination process, among the pallets whose allocation to the setup work has not been determined, it is determined whether all the pallets corresponding to the first produced substrate can be accommodated in one setup operation, and the pallets can be accommodated. Is determined to accommodate all the pallets in the pallet rack in one setup operation, and if it is not possible to accommodate the pallets, the pallets to be accommodated in the pallet rack in one setup operation are determined by the number determination process. A setup support program that repeats the flow to be performed for the plurality of setup operations. A pallet rack capable of accommodating a plurality of pallets on which parts are placed is provided, and an operator performs the pallet with respect to a parts supply device that supplies the parts by moving the pallets from the pallet rack to a parts supply position. In order to calculate the execution mode of the setup work for accommodating the pallet in the rack, the component supply information indicating the number of the components that can be supplied by the pallet for each type of the component, and the component supply information supplied by the component supply device. A process of acquiring component usage information indicating the number of components used in a substrate production plan for mounting components on a substrate for each type of the component, and a process of acquiring the component usage information.
The computer is made to execute the process of executing the number-of-sheet determination process for the substrate that cannot be accommodated in the pallet rack in one setup operation for all the pallets required for the production.
In the number-of-sheet determination process, the ratio of the number of pallets required for the production of the substrate to be executed for each type of the component is obtained based on the component supply information and the component usage information, and the production of the substrate to be executed is performed. Therefore, the number of the pallets for each type of the parts to be accommodated in the pallet rack in the setup work is determined according to the ratio.
The number of pallets that can be accommodated in the pallet rack is variable according to the thickness of the parts placed on the pallets.
In the number-of-sheet determination process, the setup support for determining the number of the pallets for each type of the parts to be accommodated in the pallet rack in one setup operation according to the change in the number of the pallets that can be accommodated in the pallet rack. program. A recording medium in which the setup support program according to any one of claims 8 to 10 is readable and recorded by a computer.
