Problems solved by technology

[0011] However, in such a central control it is not possible or expedient to react to local changes at the individual automatic assembly machines (for example in the event of a local error).
This can adversely affect the entire production process

Embodiment Construction

[0099] The invention serves for the local adaptation of centrally generated assembly tasks and is described below using the example of printed circuit board production. However, the invention can also be transferred to other components to be assembled.

[0100] The strict assignment of assembly tasks to assembly machines is relaxed. There are two types here:

[0101] 1. More assembly (DO MORE command)

[0102] When machine A completes its assembly procedure (synonymous with assembly task), but subsequent machine B has not yet signaled its readiness (due to a temporary failure, for example), machine A takes over for all subsequent machines C / D / … and A partial assembly program for the failed machine B, if components assembled in machine A are available for this. Information about the further assembly is transmitted to subsequent machines by means of the processing status (data indicating that additional assembly positions have been occupied). A network connection can be used...

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for controlling the process of mounting a printed circuit board, and the mounting process is carried out in a production line by means of a plurality of automatic mounting machines (BA). The line is controlled by a line optimizer (LO). Furthermore, a local optimization unit and a control module (SM) are provided, and the control module converts the assembly task (ba) into a matched assembly task (ba') according to an adaptation algorithm. The invention also relates to a computer program, a control module (SM), an automatic assembly machine (BA) having the control module (SM), and a system.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of assembling printed circuit boards with electronic components by means of a plurality of automatic assembly machines arranged in a production line. The invention relates in particular to an especially software-based control of an automatic assembly machine. Background technique [0002] In assembly technology, in particular in so-called surface mount technology (SMT), electronic components are mounted on the surface of printed circuit boards by so-called automatic assembly machines. The components to be assembled are supplied to the pick-up position by means of a supply device for the assembly process. For the positioning of electronic components, a movable assembly head is loaded in an automatic assembly machine by a positioning system. [0003] Usually a plurality of automatic assembly machines are arranged in the production line, wherein the transfer device transports the circuit boards to be assembled from the...
