Description

生産能力管理装置および生産能力管理方法ならびに生産能力管理プログラムProduction capacity management device, production capacity management method, and production capacity management program

 部品実装装置などの生産装置で構成される生産ラインでは、基板に部品を実装した電子回路基板などの生産物が連続して生産される。このような生産ラインの生産能力を推定するためには、個々の生産装置の処理能力以外に、生産装置への部品などの部材の補給や生産装置のエラー対応などのオペレータ作業による生産装置の一時停止なども考慮する必要がある(例えば、特許文献1)。特許文献1に記載のシステムは、生産能力を推定する生産ラインの構成、生産装置の情報、オペレータ作業の発生頻度などの予め記憶されている情報と、入力されたオペレータに関する情報、生産計画に基づいて、部品実装ラインの生産能力を推定することが開示されている。 In a production line consisting of production equipment such as component mounting equipment, products such as electronic circuit boards with components mounted on them are continuously produced. In order to estimate the production capacity of such a production line, in addition to the processing capacity of each production equipment, it is necessary to consider the temporary operation of the production equipment due to operator work such as supplying parts and other materials to the production equipment and responding to errors in the production equipment. It is also necessary to consider stoppage and the like (for example, Patent Literature 1).

The substrate supply device M1 has two conveyors 9a and 9b, one at the front and the other at the rear. The conveyors 9a and 9b have the function of delivering the supplied substrates 10A and 10B of different substrate types to the downstream substrate sorting device M2. have. The substrate 10A and the substrate 10B may be of the same substrate type.
 図2において、基板振分け装置M2,M5,M10,M13は、基板振分け作業部である搬送コンベアおよび搬送コンベアをフロントとリアの間で移動させるコンベア移動機構を備え、上流の生産装置から受け取った基板10A,10Bを下流の生産装置に振り分けて受け渡す基板振分け作業を実行する生産装置である。基板振分け装置M2,M10は、上流に連結されたフロントとリアの2本のコンベアから基板10A,10Bを搬送コンベアに受け取り、基板10A,10Bを保持した状態で搬送コンベアを移動させ、下流に連結された1本のコンベアに順に受け渡す。下流に受け渡した基板10A,10Bの順番に関する情報は、内蔵する装置通信部より構内通信ネットワーク2と内部通信部4を介して生産管理装置3に送信される。 In FIG. 2, board sorting apparatuses M2, M5, M10, and M13 are provided with a transport conveyor, which is a board sorting work section, and a conveyor moving mechanism for moving the transport conveyor between the front and the rear, and each board received from an upstream production apparatus is provided with a transport conveyor. It is a production device that executes a board sorting operation of sorting and delivering 10A and 10B to downstream production devices. The substrate sorting devices M2 and M10 receive the substrates 10A and 10B from the front and rear conveyors connected upstream, move the conveyors while holding the substrates 10A and 10B, and connect them downstream. It is handed over in order to a single conveyor. Information about the order of the substrates 10A and 10B delivered downstream is transmitted to the production control device 3 via the local communication network 2 and the internal communication unit 4 from the built-in device communication unit.
 基板振分け装置M5,M13は、上流に連結された1本のコンベアから基板10A,10Bを搬送コンベアに受け取り、基板10A,10Bを保持した状態で搬送コンベアを移動させ、下流に連結されたフロントとリアの2本のコンベアに振り分けて受け渡す。下流に受け渡す際、内蔵する管理通信部が受信した、構内通信ネットワーク2と内部通信部4を介して生産管理装置3より送信された基板10A,10Bの順番に関する情報に基づいて、上流から混合されて搬送される基板10Aと基板10Bは、フロントまたはリアの所定のコンベアに振り分けられる。なお、部品実装装置M6~M9がコンベアを1本有するシングルレーンタイプの場合、生産ラインL1は、基板振分け装置M2,M5,M10,M13を備える必要はない。 The substrate sorting devices M5 and M13 receive the substrates 10A and 10B from one conveyer connected upstream, move the conveyor while holding the substrates 10A and 10B, and transfer the substrates 10A and 10B to the front conveyor connected downstream.

If the component mounting apparatuses M6 to M9 are single-lane type having one conveyor, the production line L1 does not need to have the board sorting apparatuses M2, M5, M10, M13.
 図2において、はんだ印刷装置M3は、はんだ印刷作業部によって実装対象の基板10A,10Bにはんだを印刷するはんだ印刷作業を実行する生産装置である。はんだ印刷装置M3において、はんだ印刷作業を反復継続する間に収容するはんだが消費されて無くなると(はんだ切れが発生すると)、オペレータによってはんだの補給作業が実行される。また、生産する電子回路基板を切り替える段取り替え作業では、はんだ印刷装置M3において、オペレータによってはんだ印刷用のマスクの交換作業、はんだ印刷時に基板10A,10Bを下方から支持する下受けピンの配置変更作業などが実行される。印刷検査装置M4は、はんだ検査カメラを含む印刷検査作業部によって基板10A,10Bに印刷されたはんだの状態を検査する印刷検査作業を実行する生産装置である。 In FIG. 2, the solder printing device M3 is a production device that executes a solder printing operation for printing solder on the substrates 10A and 10B to be mounted by a solder printing operation unit. In the solder printing device M3, when the solder contained in the solder printing device M3 is consumed and runs out (when the solder runs out) while the solder printing operation is repeated, the operator replenishes the solder. Also, in the setup change work for switching the electronic circuit board to be produced, the operator in the solder printer M3 performs the work of exchanging the mask for solder printing, and the work of changing the arrangement of the support pins that support the boards 10A and 10B from below during solder printing. etc., are executed. The print inspection apparatus M4 is a production apparatus that performs print inspection work for inspecting the state of solder printed on the substrates 10A and 10B by a print inspection work unit including a solder inspection camera.
 図2において、部品実装装置M6~M9の各々は、フロントとリアの2本のコンベア、2つの部品供給部、2つの搭載ヘッドを含む部品実装作業部によって基板10A、基板10Bに部品Dを搭載する部品実装作業を実行する生産装置である。なお、生産ラインL1は、部品実装装置が4台の構成に限定されることなく、部品実装装置が1台であっても5台以上であってもよい。部品実装装置M6~M9の各々において、基板搬送方向に延伸する2本のコンベアはフロントとリアに並行して配置され、2つの部品供給部は並設された2本のコンベアの外側(フロントとリア)にそれぞれ配置されている。 In FIG. 2, each of the component mounting apparatuses M6 to M9 mounts components D on the substrates 10A and 10B by a component mounting operation unit including two front and rear conveyors, two component supply units, and two mounting heads. It is a production device that executes component mounting work to be carried out. Note that the production line L1 is not limited to a configuration with four component mounting apparatuses, and may have one component mounting apparatus or five or more component mounting apparatuses. In each of the component mounting apparatuses M6 to M9, two conveyors extending in the substrate conveying direction are arranged in front and rear in parallel, and two component supply units are arranged outside the two conveyors (front and rear).
 部品供給部は、部品Dを保持するキャリアテープをテープ送りして部品Dを供給する複数のテープフィーダ、複数の部品Dを保持するトレイを入れ替えながら部品Dを供給するトレイフィーダなどを備え、部品Dを搭載ヘッドによるピックアップ位置まで供給する。搭載ヘッドは部品Dを真空吸着する吸着ノズルを備え、部品供給部が供給する部品Dをピックアップし、コンベアが搬送して位置決め保持している基板10A,10Bに移送搭載する部品実装作業を実行する。部品供給部のテープフィーダとトレイには、生産する電子回路基板の基板種に応じて所定の部品Dが供給されるように、段取り替え時に所定の部品Dを保持するキャリアテープやトレイがセットされる(言い換えると、部品Dが配列される)。 The component supply unit includes a plurality of tape feeders that supply the components D by tape-feeding a carrier tape that holds the components D, a tray feeder that supplies the components D while replacing the trays holding the plurality of components D, and the like. D is supplied to the pickup position by the mounting head. The mounting head has a suction nozzle that vacuum-sucks the component D, picks up the component D supplied by the component supply unit, and carries out the component mounting work of transferring and mounting the component D onto the substrates 10A and 10B that are transported by the conveyor and positioned and held. . In the tape feeder and tray of the component supply unit, carrier tapes and trays are set to hold predetermined components D at the time of changeover so that predetermined components D are supplied according to the board type of the electronic circuit board to be produced. (in other words, parts D are arranged).
 部品実装装置M6~M9の各々は、生産データに基づいて、種々の実装モードにより部品実装作業を実行する。交互実装モードでは、基板10A,10Bに対して2つの搭載ヘッドが交互に部品を移送搭載する部品実装作業が実行される。独立実装モードでは、2本のコンベアがそれぞれ保持する基板10Aと基板10Bに対して、2つの搭載ヘッドがそれぞれ独立に部品を移送搭載する部品実装作業が実行される。連結された複数の部品実装装置M6~M9は、同じ実装モードで部品実装作業を実行する他、別個の実装モードで部品実装作業を実行することもできる。 Each of the component mounting apparatuses M6 to M9 performs component mounting work in various mounting modes based on the production data. In the alternate mounting mode, a component mounting operation is performed in which two mounting heads alternately transfer and mount components to the boards 10A and 10B. In the independent mounting mode, a component mounting operation is performed in which two mounting heads independently transfer and mount components to the substrates 10A and 10B respectively held by the two conveyors. A plurality of connected component mounting apparatuses M6 to M9 can perform component mounting work in the same mounting mode, and can also perform component mounting work in separate mounting modes.
 また、両レーン生産方式では、2本のコンベアがそれぞれ基板10A,10Bを搬送し、搭載ヘッドが部品を移送搭載する部品実装作業が実行される。片レーン生産方式では、2本のコンベアのうちの1本のみが基板10A,10Bを搬送し、搭載ヘッドが部品を移送搭載する部品実装作業が実行される。 In addition, in the two-lane production method, the two conveyors convey the boards 10A and 10B, respectively, and the mounting head carries out the component mounting work in which the components are transported and mounted. In the single-lane production method, only one of the two conveyors conveys the substrates 10A and 10B, and the mounting head transfers and mounts the components, which is a component mounting operation.
 部品実装装置M6~M9の各々において、部品実装作業を反復継続する間に部品供給部が保有する部品Dが消費されて所定の残数を下回ると(部品切れ警告が発生すると)、もしくは部品Dが無くなると(部品切れが発生すると)、オペレータによって部品Dの補給作業(キャリアテープの補給、トレイの交換など)が実行される。また、吸着ノズルが部品Dを正常に吸着していない吸着エラー、キャリアテープが絡まること(ジャミング)によるテープフィーダによる部品Dの供給停止エラーなど部品実装装置(M6~M9のいずれか)が停止する装置エラーが発生すると、オペレータによって装置エラーからの復旧作業が実行される。 In each of the component mounting apparatuses M6 to M9, when the component D held by the component supply section is consumed while the component mounting work is repeatedly continued and falls below a predetermined remaining number (when a component shortage warning occurs), or when the component D When there is no more (when parts run out), the operator performs the replenishment work of the part D (replenishment of the carrier tape, replacement of the tray, etc.). In addition, the component mounter (one of M6 to M9) stops, such as a suction error that the suction nozzle does not normally pick up the component D, or an error that the tape feeder stops supplying the component D due to carrier tape tangling (jamming). When an equipment error occurs, the operator performs recovery work from the equipment error.
 また、生産する電子回路基板を切り替える段取り替え作業では、対象となる部品実装装置(M6~M9のいずれか)において、オペレータによってテープフィーダの交換作業、トレイの交換作業、搭載ヘッドの交換作業、吸着ノズルの交換作業、部品実装時に基板10A,10Bを下方から支持する下受けピンの配置変更作業などが実行される。また、複数の吸着ノズルを保持し、部品実装作業中に搭載ヘッドに装着された吸着ノズルと自動で交換するノズルチェンジャ、吸着ノズルが保持した部品Dを基板10A,10Bに搭載する前に、部品Dの電極にペーストを転写するために使用される転写ユニット、吸着ノズルが保持した部品Dの電気特性を計測する電気特性計測装置などの設備オプションの交換作業も、必要に応じて実行される。 In addition, in the setup change work to switch the electronic circuit board to be produced, the operator replaces the tape feeder, replaces the tray, replaces the mounting head, and picks up the target component mounting device (any of M6 to M9). Nozzle replacement work and arrangement change work of the support pins that support the substrates 10A and 10B from below when the components are mounted are executed. Further, a nozzle changer that holds a plurality of suction nozzles and automatically replaces the suction nozzles attached to the mounting head during component mounting work, and a component D held by the suction nozzles before mounting them on the substrates 10A and 10B. Replacement work of equipment options such as a transfer unit used to transfer paste to the electrode of D, an electrical property measuring device for measuring the electrical property of the component D held by the suction nozzle, etc. is also performed as necessary.
 図2において、上述の作業を実行する際、オペレータは作業対象となる部品実装装置(M6~M9のいずれか)の操作面(フロントまたはリア)に移動して作業を実行する。なお、装置エラーには、装置エラーが発生しているフロントまたはリアの部品実装作業のみが停止して、反対側では部品実装作業が停止されることなく継続される装置エラーや、部品実装装置による復旧処理により自動で復旧する装置エラーもある。このように、部品実装装置M6~M9の各々は、テープフィーダ、トレイフィーダ、搭載ヘッド、ノズルチェンジャ、転写ユニット、電気特性計測装置などの設備要素を有し、電子回路基板(生産物)を生産する部品実装作業を行う生産装置である。  In FIG. 2, when performing the above-described work, the operator moves to the operation surface (front or rear) of the component mounting apparatus (one of M6 to M9) to be worked on and performs the work. Equipment errors include equipment errors in which only the front or rear component mounting work on which the equipment error has occurred is stopped and the component mounting work on the opposite side continues without stopping, and equipment errors caused by the component mounting equipment. Some device errors are automatically recovered by recovery processing. In this way, each of the component mounting apparatuses M6 to M9 has equipment elements such as a tape feeder, a tray feeder, a mounting head, a nozzle changer, a transfer unit, and an electrical characteristic measuring device, and produces electronic circuit boards (products). It is a production device that performs component mounting work.

The reflow device M12 heats the substrates 10A and 10B carried into the device by the substrate heating unit, hardens the solder on the substrates 10A and 10B, and joins the electrode portions of the substrates 10A and 10B and the component D. It is a production device that performs a heating operation. The substrate recovery device M14 has two conveyors 9c and 9d, front and rear, and the conveyors 9c and 9d have a function of receiving and recovering the substrates 10A and 10B, respectively, from the upstream substrate sorting device M13.
 このように生産ラインL1では、基板供給装置M1のフロントのコンベア9aに供給された基板10Aに部品Dが実装され、基板回収装置M14のフロントのコンベア9cより部品Dが実装された基板10Aが回収される。この経路がフロントの部品実装レーンL1Fとなる。同様に、生産ラインL1では、基板供給装置M1のリアのコンベア9bに供給された基板10Bに部品Dが実装され、基板回収装置M14のリアのコンベア9dより部品Dが実装された基板10Bが回収される。この経路がリアの部品実装レーンL1Rとなる。 In this way, in the production line L1, the component D is mounted on the board 10A supplied to the front conveyor 9a of the board supply device M1, and the board 10A with the component D mounted thereon is recovered from the front conveyor 9c of the board recovery device M14. be done. This route becomes the front component mounting lane L1F. Similarly, in the production line L1, the component D is mounted on the substrate 10B supplied to the rear conveyor 9b of the substrate supply device M1, and the substrate 10B on which the component D is mounted is recovered from the rear conveyor 9d of the substrate recovery device M14. be done. This route becomes the rear component mounting lane L1R.
 両レーン生産方式では、フロントの部品実装レーンL1Fとリアの部品実装レーンL1Rの両レーンで部品実装作業が実行される。また、片レーン生産方式では、フロントの部品実装レーンL1Fとリアの部品実装レーンL1Rのいずれか一方のレーンでのみ部品実装作業が実行される。以下、部品Dが実装された基板10Aおよび部品Dが実装された基板10Bを単に「電子回路基板B」と称する。 In the dual-lane production method, component mounting work is performed in both the front component mounting lane L1F and the rear component mounting lane L1R. Further, in the single-lane production method, the component mounting work is performed only in one of the front component mounting lane L1F and the rear component mounting lane L1R. Hereinafter, the board 10A on which the component D is mounted and the board 10B on which the component D is mounted are simply referred to as "electronic circuit board B".

The number of operators is specified on a floor-by-floor basis, and the estimation unit 33 allocates operators to each production line according to a predetermined procedure during simulation. For example, the estimation unit 33 simply divides the number of operators by the number of production lines, or weights and distributes the number by the number of production apparatuses provided in each production line.
 シミュレーション設定(条件設定)画面において次へボタン60dが押下されると、表示処理部17は表示部12にシミュレーション設定(実行)画面(図示省略)を表示させる。シミュレーション設定(実行)画面には、生産能力を指定するシミュレーションを開始する開始ボタンが配置されている。開始ボタンが押下されると、表示処理部17は、新フロアの構成情報、シミュレーション条件情報などをサポートセンタSの生産能力管理装置7に送信する。 When the next button 60d is pressed on the simulation setting (condition setting) screen, the display processing unit 17 causes the display unit 12 to display a simulation setting (execution) screen (not shown).

This makes it possible to easily generate information (virtual capacity information 22) used for estimating the production capacity of the production lines L1 to L3 having different configurations.
 次に、図11、図12のフローに沿って、複数の部品実装装置(生産装置)で構成される生産ラインL1~L3の各々により生産される電子回路基板B(生産物)の生産能力を推定する生産能力推定方法(生産能力推定プログラム)について説明する。図11は、本開示の一実施の形態の生産ラインの生産能力推定方法のフロー図である。図12は、図11の生産能力推定方法における仮想能力情報生成工程(ST1)のフロー図である。まず、生産ラインの仮想能力情報22が生成される(ST1:仮想能力情報生成工程)。 Next, along the flow of FIGS. 11 and 12, the production capacity of the electronic circuit board B (product) produced by each of the production lines L1 to L3 composed of a plurality of component mounting devices (production devices) is calculated. A method of estimating production capacity (production capacity estimation program) will be described. FIG. 11 is a flow diagram of a production capacity estimation method for a production line according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. FIG. 12 is a flow chart of the virtual capacity information generation step (ST1) in the production capacity estimation method of FIG. First, the virtual capacity information 22 of the production line is generated (ST1: virtual capacity information generating step).
 図12において、仮想能力情報生成工程(ST1)では、取得部30は、既存の生産ラインL1~L3の各々を構成する複数の部品実装装置M6~M9(生産装置)の装置情報と稼働実績14とを取得する(ST11:取得工程)。次いで仮想能力生成部31は、装置情報と稼働実績14から、部品実装装置M6~M9が有する設備要素に関する情報と、部品実装装置M6~M9のスペックに関する情報と、生産ラインL1~L3の各々が電子回路基板B(生産物)を生産するのに必要な時間に関する情報と、生産ラインL1~L3の各々に対してオペレータの作業を必要とする事象とその発生頻度に関する情報と、と含む生産ラインL1~L3の各々の仮想能力情報22を生成する(ST12:仮想能力情報生成工程)。 In FIG. 12, in the virtual capability information generation step (ST1), the acquiring unit 30 obtains the device information and the operation records 14 of the plurality of component mounting devices M6 to M9 (production devices) constituting each of the existing production lines L1 to L3. and are obtained (ST11: obtaining step). Next, from the device information and the operation record 14, the virtual capacity generation unit 31 obtains information on the equipment elements of the component mounting apparatuses M6 to M9, information on the specifications of the component mounting apparatuses M6 to M9, and information on the specifications of each of the production lines L1 to L3. A production line including information on the time required to produce the electronic circuit board B (product), information on events requiring operator work for each of the production lines L1 to L3, and information on the frequency of occurrence thereof The virtual capacity information 22 for each of L1 to L3 is generated (ST12: virtual capacity information generating step).
 次いで仮想能力生成部31は、生成した仮想能力情報22を稼働実績毎に記憶装置20(記憶部)に格納する(ST13:記憶工程)。次いで全ての生産ラインL1~L3の仮想能力情報22が生成されるまで(ST14においてNo)、取得工程(ST11)、仮想能力情報生成工程(ST12)、記憶工程(ST13)が繰り返し実行される。このように、取得工程(ST11)、仮想能力情報生成工程(ST12)、記憶工程(ST13)は、生産能力管理装置7による生産能力管理方法(生産能力管理プログラム)である。生産能力管理方法により、構成の異なる生産ラインL1~L3の生産能力の推定に使用する情報(仮想能力情報22)を簡易に生成することができる。 Next, the virtual capacity generation unit 31 stores the generated virtual capacity information 22 in the storage device 20 (storage unit) for each operation record (ST13: storage step). Next, until the virtual capacity information 22 of all the production lines L1 to L3 is generated (No in ST14), the acquiring step (ST11), the virtual capacity information generating step (ST12), and the storing step (ST13) are repeatedly executed. Thus, the acquisition step (ST11), the virtual capacity information generation step (ST12), and the storage step (ST13) are the production capacity management method (production capacity management program) by the production capacity management device 7. FIG. The production capacity management method makes it possible to easily generate information (virtual capacity information 22) used for estimating the production capacity of the production lines L1 to L3 having different configurations.
 図11において、生産ラインL1~L3の仮想能力情報22が生成されると(ST14においてYes)、表示処理部17は入力部11より仮想生産ラインを構成する部品実装装置(生産装置)の数、部品実装装置の設備要素などの情報と、仮想生産ラインで生産される電子回路基板B(生産物)の情報の入力を受け付ける(ST2:情報入力工程)(図7~図9)。次いで仮想能力設定部32は、情報入力工程(ST2)において入力された情報に基づいて、仮想生産ラインの仮想能力情報22を設定する(ST3:仮想生産ライン設定工程)。 In FIG. 11, when the virtual capacity information 22 of the production lines L1 to L3 is generated (Yes in ST14), the display processing unit 17 causes the input unit 11 to Input of information such as the equipment elements of the component mounting apparatus and information of the electronic circuit board B (product) to be produced on the virtual production line is accepted (ST2: information input step) (FIGS. 7 to 9). Next, the virtual capacity setting unit 32 sets the virtual capacity information 22 of the virtual production line based on the information input in the information input step (ST2) (ST3: virtual production line setting step).
 次いで推定部33は、仮想生産ラインの仮想能力情報22に基づいて仮想生産ラインの仮想生産能力24を推定し、既存の生産ラインL1~L3の仮想能力情報22に基づいて生産ラインL1~L3の仮想生産能力24を推定する(ST4:仮想生産能力推定工程)。次いで表示処理部17は、推定された仮想生産ラインと既存の生産ラインL1~L3の仮想生産能力24を表示部12に表示させる(ST5:仮想生産能力表示工程)(図10)。 Next, the estimation unit 33 estimates the virtual production capacity 24 of the virtual production line based on the virtual capacity information 22 of the virtual production line, and the virtual capacity information 22 of the existing production lines L1 to L3. A virtual production capacity 24 is estimated (ST4: virtual production capacity estimation step). Next, the display processing unit 17 causes the display unit 12 to display the estimated virtual production line and the virtual production capacity 24 of the existing production lines L1 to L3 (ST5: virtual production capacity display step) (FIG. 10).
 仮想生産ラインの構成やシミュレーション条件を変更する場合(ST6においてYes)、情報入力工程(ST2)、仮想生産ライン設定工程(ST3)、仮想生産能力推定工程(ST4)、仮想生産能力表示工程(ST5)が繰り返し実行される。これによって、構成の異なる生産ライン(仮想生産ライン)の生産能力を簡易に推定することができる。 When changing the configuration of the virtual production line and the simulation conditions (Yes in ST6), the information input step (ST2), the virtual production line setting step (ST3), the virtual production capacity estimation step (ST4), the virtual production capacity display step (ST5) ) is executed repeatedly. This makes it possible to easily estimate the production capacity of production lines with different configurations (virtual production lines).
