Abstract

PURPOSE:To reduce the data preparing burden of an operator so as to improve the working rate of the operator due to the reduction of the data preparing time by storing beforehand the names and sizes of electronic parts mounted on a parts supplying device in the device and automatically preparing the data required for mounting the parts. CONSTITUTION:After parts supplying devices 5 are set on a mounting machine, a reading-out section 1 reads out the names and sizes of the electronic parts mounted on all parts mounting device 5. Then a controlling section 4 prepares a parts supplying/arranging program for indicating the parts supplying device of each kind of parts to be mounted from the parts names read out in the preceding process and positional information of the devices 5 and stores the prepared program in a storing section 2. The section 4 also calculates the volume of the parts from the names and sizes of the parts read-out in the preceding process, reads out the mounting data corresponding to the volume from a data base section 3, and stores the volume and mounting data in the storing section as parts data. Then the section 4 reads out the parts supplying/arranging program and parts data from the storing section 2 and mounts the parts.
