Description

The present disclosure, which is an invention disclosed herein, relates to a management device, an implementation-related device, and an implementation system.

Conventionally, as a management device, for example, image processing errors and countermeasures for the errors are stored in association with each other in advance, and when an image processing error occurs, a corresponding countermeasure is selected and the corresponding countermeasure is used to deal with the error. A device that displays a screen requesting permission has been proposed (for example, see Patent Document 1). This device has a low-speed movement mode for the suction nozzle as a countermeasure against misalignment of the suction position of parts, for example, and takes an image in the low-speed movement mode after obtaining permission from the operator. By reflecting the method in the operation of the mounting apparatus, the workload of the worker can be reduced.

Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2015-135886

However, in the device of Patent Document 1 mentioned above, the work burden on the worker can be reduced by reflecting the error handling method in the operation of the mounting device, but it is not possible to reflect the error handling method. There were also errors. Such errors include, for example, an error that stops the device after counting a predetermined number of times. When such an error occurs, visual confirmation by the operator may not necessarily be necessary, but the operator is required to visually confirm the error directly using the mounting device. In the implementation system, it has been desired to further reduce the work that such workers have to deal with.

The present disclosure has been made in view of such problems, and aims to provide a management device, a mounting-related device, and a mounting system that can further reduce the work that a worker has to deal with with the mounting-related device. Main purpose.

Next, as a specific example of the mounting-related processing, the mounting processing executed by the mounting apparatus 15 will be described. FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing an example of a mounting processing routine executed by the CPU 31 of the mounting apparatus 15. This routine is stored in the storage unit 32 and executed based on the operator M's mounting start input. Here, as specific examples of recovery errors of the mounting apparatus 15, a sampling error of the component P, a sampling position shift during mounting processing, and an image processing error of a captured image of the component P during shape confirmation will be mainly described. When this routine is started, the CPU 31 first obtains mounting condition information from the management PC 50 (S100), and causes the transport section 35 to carry out the processing of transporting and fixing the substrate S (S110). Next, the CPU 31 sets components P to be placed on the board S based on the placement order of the mounting condition information (S120). Next, the CPU 31 determines whether there is a counter 33 in which the number of occurrences of a recovery-up error has reached a predetermined number, such as the set part P (S130). If there is no component for which the number of errors has occurred has reached the predetermined number, the CPU 31 causes the mounting unit 38 to perform a collection process for the component P (S140). At this time, the CPU 31 may perform a process of attaching the suction nozzle 41 corresponding to the part P to the collecting section 40 before collecting the part P.

Next, the CPU 31 determines whether an error has occurred during the collection process of the part P (S150). Examples of errors in the collection process include an error in picking up the part P, a falling part, and the like. When no error occurs when picking up the part P, the CPU 31 causes the head moving unit 39 to perform the moving process of the part P, and causes the component imaging unit 37 to perform the imaging process of the part P (S160). At this time, after collecting the part P, the CPU 31 moves the collecting part 40 so as to pass above the part imaging part 37. Further, the CPU 31 performs a matching process using a predetermined reference image and a captured image, and determines whether there is any deformation or deviation in the sampling position in the sampled part P that exceeds an allowable range. Next, the CPU 31 determines whether an error has occurred during this image processing (S170). Examples of image processing errors include an identification error in which the part P cannot be identified due to the brightness of the captured image, and a matching error in which the part shape in the reference image and the part shape in the captured image do not match. When no error has occurred in the image processing, the CPU 31 uses the captured image to determine the sampling deviation amount, and places the part P at a position where this deviation amount is corrected (S180). Note that, at this time, the CPU 31 may discard parts P whose shape is outside the permissible range or parts P whose sampling position has shifted beyond the permissible range so that the placement process cannot be performed accurately.

Subsequently, the CPU 31 determines whether the mounting process for the current board S has been completed (S190), and if it has not been completed, executes the processes from S120 onwards. That is, the CPU 31 sets the next component P to be suctioned, picks up the part P, images it, corrects the picking deviation amount, and places it on the board S. During this process, if an error occurs in S150 and S170, the corresponding counter 33 is incremented by 1 (S200), the parts that can be placed are placed on the board S (S210), and the processes from S120 onwards are executed. . The CPU 31 may perform a disposal process for the parts P that cannot be placed. This implementation system 10 is set to continue processing other than the corresponding processing even after the number of errors has occurred reaches a predetermined number. While repeatedly executing the processes after S120, if there is a counter 33 in which the number of occurrences of recovery-up errors reaches a predetermined number in S130, the CPU 31 stops the mounting process of the corresponding device, and includes information to that effect. Device stop information is transmitted to the management PC 50 (S220).

Next, the CPU 31 determines whether or not it has received an image transmission command for the unit that caused the device to stop from the management PC 50 (S230). The image of the unit is transmitted (S240). When the apparatus is stopped due to an error in collecting the part P, the CPU 31 moves the collecting unit 40 so that the mark imaging unit 42 is positioned above the collecting position where the error occurred, and collects the part P using the mark imaging unit 42. The position is imaged and the captured image is transmitted to the management PC 50. Further, when the apparatus is stopped due to an image processing error, the captured image in which the image processing error occurred is transmitted to the management PC 50. After S240, or when an image transmission command is not received in S230, the CPU 31 determines whether or not a restart command for mounting-related processing and a reset command for the counter 33 have been obtained (S250). The restart command and reset command may be obtained from the management PC 50 via the network 12, or may be input by the operator M from the operation panel of the mounting apparatus 15. The restart command from the management PC 50 will be described in detail later, but the administrator remotely confirms the image of the cause of the device stoppage and inputs it through the input unit 58. The restart command from the operation panel is input from the operation panel after the worker M performs work to eliminate the cause of the error on the mounting apparatus 15. When the restart command and the reset command are not obtained, the CPU 31 waits in the device stop state, and when the restart command and the reset command are obtained, the CPU 31 resets the counter 33 (S260), cancels the device stop state, and returns to step S140. Execute the following processing. To reset the counters 33, all the counters 33 are reset, or the corresponding counters are individually reset, depending on the content of the reset command. Since the mounting apparatus 15 may deal with all errors, it is possible to select a method for resetting the counter 33 when restarting the process.

On the other hand, when the mounting process for the current board is completed in S190, the CPU 31 causes the transport unit 35 to discharge the board S on which the mounting has been completed (S270), and determines whether production is completed (S280). When the production is not completed, the CPU 31 executes the processes from S110 onwards, while when the production is completed, the CPU 31 directly ends this routine. In this way, the mounting apparatus 15 performs the mounting process and manufactures the substrate S while stopping the process in response to the occurrence of a recovery-up error.

Next, the operation of the management PC 50 executed during the production process of the mounting system 10, particularly the process of notifying the administrator of information about the mounting line 11, will be described. FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing an example of a system management processing routine executed by the management control unit 51 of the management PC 50. As shown in FIG. This routine is stored in the storage unit 53 of the management PC 50 and executed while the mounting system 10 is performing production processing. When this routine is started, first, the CPU 52 of the management control unit 51 acquires information from the mounting line 11 (S300). Information on the mounting line 11 includes, for example, information on the completion of production, instructions to change setup to attach the next feeder, instructions to switch mounting jobs and start production, instructions to replenish viscous fluid or parts P, equipment failure, etc. Examples include device stoppage information due to errors and recovery errors. Next, the CPU 52 determines whether there is new information to be displayed among the acquired information (S310). When there is new information to be displayed, the CPU 31 causes the display unit 57 to display the acquired information (S320).

FIG. 6 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of a production status display screen 60 displayed on the display unit 57. A cursor 61, a status display field 62, a selection frame 63, a selection key 64, and the like are arranged on the production status display screen 60. The cursor 61 is operated when selecting information. The status display field 62 is a field in which the device name, work occurrence time, work content, etc. in each mounting line 11 are displayed. The selection frame 63 is a column for selecting the device on which the work is being performed, and is moved by the cursor 61. The selection key 64 is a key for determining the content selected by the selection frame 63. On the production status display screen 60, new information updated at a predetermined timing is inserted and displayed at the top of the status display column 62. The administrator operates the selection frame 63 and selection key 64 to select the content to be confirmed.

Next, the CPU 52 determines whether there is an instruction to select device stop information (S330). The device stoppage information is information that the device has stopped due to a recovery-up error, and includes device stoppages due to parts P collection errors, device stoppages due to image processing errors, and the like. When there is an instruction to select device stoppage information, the CPU 52 sends a command to the corresponding device to send an image related to the cause of the stoppage (S340), and displays a display screen according to the selection (S350). For example, when stopping the mounting apparatus 15 due to a sampling error is selected on the production status display screen 60, the CPU 52 displays a sampling position display screen 70 on the display unit 57. Alternatively, when stopping the mounting apparatus 15 due to an image processing error is selected, the processed image display screen 80 is displayed on the display unit 57.

FIG. 7 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of a collection position display screen 70 displayed on the display unit 57. The collection position display screen 70 is a screen for checking whether or not work by the operator M is required for a part P collection error. A cursor 61, an image display field 72, an information display field 73, a contact key 74, an individual reset key 75, an all reset key 76, and a restart key 77 are arranged on this sampling position display screen 70. There is. The image display column 72 is a column that displays a captured image of the sampling position of the component P in the supply section 36. The CPU 52 acquires the captured image of the sampling position of the component P transmitted from the mounting apparatus 15 and displays it in the image display column 72. In this image display column 72, the XY coordinate axes passing through the center of the scheduled sampling position, the circle of the suction nozzle at the scheduled sampling position, and the reference image are displayed superimposed on the captured image (see the thin line in the figure). ). The administrator can confirm these positional relationships in the image display field 72. The information display column 73 is a column that displays information regarding parts collection. This information display field 73 includes a correction value for correcting the sampling deviation of the suction nozzle 41, a correction value for correcting the deviation of the supply section 36, position information of the height of the part P and the sampling height, and nozzle movement when picking the part. Speed etc. are displayed. In this information display column 73, each numerical value can be changed based on input from the input section 58. When the numerical value is changed in the information display field 73, the content of the change is reflected in the image displayed in the image display field 72. When the contact key 74 is pressed, it outputs the details of the error to the mobile terminal 18 of the worker M in charge of the corresponding device. The administrator checks the image display field 72 and presses the contact key 74 when determining that the work of the worker M is required. When pressed, the individual reset key 75 outputs a reset command to reset only the counter 33 corresponding to the supply section 36 currently being checked. When pressed, the all reset key 76 outputs a reset command to reset all counters 33 of the mounting apparatus 15. When the restart key 77 is pressed, it outputs a command to cancel the state in which the apparatus is stopped due to a recovery-up error.

FIG. 8 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of a processed image display screen 80 displayed on the display unit 57. The processed image display screen 80 is a screen for checking whether or not work by the operator M is required for an image processing error of the part P collected by the collection unit 40. A cursor 61, an image display field 82, a reference image editing field 83, a contact key 74, an individual reset key 75, an all reset key 76, and a restart key 77 are arranged on the processed image display screen 80. ing. The image display column 82 is a column for displaying captured images in which an image processing error has occurred. In this image display field 82, a reference image of the part P is displayed superimposed on the captured image (see thin line in the figure). The administrator can check the relationship between the imaged shape of the part P and the shape of the reference image in the image display column 72. The reference image editing column 83 is a column for editing a reference image. The part P may have a slight difference in shape, such as having rounded or pointed corners, depending on the supplier. In the reference image editing column 83, the administrator can edit and change such minute differences in the reference image. The reference image edited in the reference image editing field 83 is reflected in the image display field 82. Note that the contact key 74, individual reset key 75, all reset key 76, and restart key 77 on the processed image display screen 80 are the same as those on the collection position display screen 70, and their explanation will be omitted. In this way, on the management PC 50 that manages the mounting line 11, the collection position display screen 70 and the processed image display screen 80 are used to confirm the contents of the recovery error and the status of the device, and perform editing to change numerical values, shapes, etc. It is configured so that it can be done.

After displaying the display screen in S350, the CPU 52 determines whether there is a selection instruction for restarting the process based on whether the restart key 77 has been pressed (S360). When there is no selection instruction to resume processing, the CPU 52 determines whether there is an instruction to contact worker M based on whether or not the communication key 74 has been pressed (S370). When there is an instruction to contact the worker M, the CPU 52 uses the worker correspondence information 55 to search for the worker M who is in charge of the device (S380), and sends the information to the mobile terminal 18 of the worker M. Output (S390). The worker M checks the information received by the mobile terminal 18 and performs work on the corresponding device. On the other hand, when there is a selection instruction to restart processing in S360, the CPU 52 determines whether or not all counter reset has been instructed based on whether or not the all reset key 76 or the individual reset key 75 has been pressed (S400 ). If all counters are to be reset, the CPU 52 outputs a process restart command and a reset command for all counters 33 to the corresponding device (S410). On the other hand, when all counters reset is not instructed, the CPU 52 outputs a process restart command and a reset command for the corresponding individual counter 33 to the corresponding device (S420). After S410 and S420, or if there is no information to be displayed in S310, if there is no instruction to select device stop information in S330, or if there is no instruction to contact the worker in S370, the CPU 52 Repeat the process. With this management PC 50, it is possible to check the contents of recovery errors and the status of the devices in each device of each mounting line 11, and edit to change numerical values, shapes, etc., so that the operator M can perform confirmation work. It is possible to instruct the mounting-related device to restart the mounting-related processing without any need to do so.
