The second substrate transport channel L2 includes a second substrate transport section K2, which includes a pair of substrate transport conveyors for transporting substrates 3. The first substrate transport section K1 and the second substrate transport section K2 each transport the substrate 3 from upstream to downstream and transfer it to an adjacent device. In this way, the component mounting device 1 includes: a first substrate transport channel L1, which transports the substrate 3 along an X-axis (one axis) extending in the horizontal direction; and a second substrate transport channel L2, which is arranged at a position away from the first substrate transport channel L1 in the direction along the Y-axis (another axis perpendicular to the X-axis in the horizontal plane) and transports the substrate 3 along the X-axis.

[0024] exist Figure 1 、 Figure 2 In the component mounting device 1, a first component supply unit S1 is positioned before the first substrate transport lane L1, and a second component supply unit S2 is positioned after the second substrate transport lane L2. A carriage 5 with multiple component supply units 4 (tape feeders) pre-installed on top is provided in the first and second component supply units S1 and S2. The carriage 5 holds a reel 7 that holds a wound carrier tape 6 holding components. The carrier tape 6, unwound from the reel 7, is pitch-fed by the component supply units 4, and the components held on the carrier tape 6 are delivered to the component supply position.

[0025] Thus, the component mounting apparatus 1 includes a first component supply unit S1, which is located at a position (front) away from the first substrate transport passage L1 on the side opposite to the second substrate transport passage L2 along the Y-axis direction, and includes a plurality of component supply units 4 arranged side by side along the X-axis.

Specifically, the second component supply unit S2 is located at a position away from the second substrate transport passage L2 on the side opposite to the first substrate transport passage L1 along the Y-axis direction.

[0026] exist Figure 1 、 Figure 2 In the figure, a Y-axis table 8 is positioned upstream and a Y-axis support 9 is positioned downstream at both ends of the upper surface of the base 2 on the X-axis. Guides 10 extending along the Y-axis are positioned at opposing positions on the Y-axis table 8 and the Y-axis support 9. Furthermore, a Y-axis linear motor 11 extending along the Y-axis is positioned on the Y-axis table 8. Between the Y-axis table 8 and the Y-axis support 9, a first beam B1 is positioned in front and a second beam B2 is positioned in the rear. The first beam B1 and the second beam B2 are driven by the Y-axis linear motor 11 to move forward and backward along the guides 10.

[0027] The first beam B1 is equipped with a first linear motor D1 extending along the X-axis. Furthermore, the first beam B1 is coupled to a first movable member E1, which is driven by the first linear motor D1 to move left and right along the X-axis. The first movable member E1 is equipped with a first work head H1 and a first head camera C1. The second beam B2 is equipped with a second linear motor D2 extending along the X-axis. Furthermore, the second beam B2 is coupled to a second movable member E2, which is driven by the second linear motor D2 to move left and right along the X-axis. The second movable member E2 is equipped with a second work head H2 and a second head camera C2.

[0028] exist Figure 2 In the embodiment, the first and second heads H1 and H2 are equipped with multiple component holding nozzles 12 at their lower ends. The first and second heads H1 and H2 raise and lower the component holding nozzles 12 along the Z axis and rotate them around the Z axis. The first and second heads H1 and H2 hold components using the component holding nozzles 12 and place them on the substrate 3.

[0029] exist Figure 1 、 Figure 2 In the figure, the first work head H1 is moved horizontally (X-axis and Y-axis directions) by the Y-axis linear motor 11 and the first linear motor D1. Specifically, the Y-axis table 8 and the first beam B1 constitute a first work head moving mechanism F1, which moves the first work head H1 and the first head camera C1 within at least a first area A1, from above the first component supply unit S1 to above the second substrate transport lane L2. Furthermore, the first work head H1 and the first work head moving mechanism F1 constitute a first work unit U1.

[0030] The second work head H2 is moved horizontally by the Y-axis linear motor 11 and the second linear motor D2. Specifically, the Y-axis table 8 and the second beam B2 constitute a second work head moving mechanism F2, which moves the second work head H2 and the second head camera C2 within at least a second area A2, extending from above the second component supply unit S2 to above the first substrate transport lane L1. Furthermore, the second work head H2 and the second work head moving mechanism F2 constitute a second work unit U2.

[0031] exist Figure 1 、 Figure 2 In the process, the first camera C1 and the second camera C2 move above the substrate 3 held at the loading position of the first substrate transport lane L1 or the loading position of the second substrate transport lane L2, and capture images of substrate marks (not shown) provided on the substrate 3. Image recognition is performed on the captured images to detect the position of the substrate 3.

[0032] On the upper surface of the base 2, between the first component supply unit S1 and the first substrate transport lane L1, a first component camera G1 for photographing the upward direction is disposed. Furthermore, between the second component supply unit S2 and the second substrate transport lane L2, a second component camera G2 for photographing the upward direction is disposed. When the first work head H1, which removes components from the first component supply unit S1, moves above the first component camera G1, the first component camera G1 photographs the components held by the component holding nozzle 12. When the second work head H2, which removes components from the second component supply unit S2, moves above the second component camera G2, the second component camera G2 photographs the components held by the component holding nozzle 12. Image recognition is performed on the photographed results to detect the posture of the component held by the component holding nozzle 12.

[0033] exist Figure 1 、 Figure 2In the component placement operation of the first work head H1 onto the substrate 3, the substrate position recognition result by the first head camera C1 and the component recognition result by the first component camera G1 are taken into consideration to correct the component placement position. Similarly, in the component placement operation of the second work head H2 onto the substrate 3, the substrate position recognition result by the second head camera C2 and the component recognition result by the second component camera G2 are taken into consideration to correct the component placement position.

[0034] exist Figure 1 、 Figure 2 In the embodiment, the component mounting device 1 is provided with a first operating unit P1 at a position operable by an operator located on the front side, and a second operating unit P2 at a position operable by an operator located on the rear side. The first operating unit P1 and the second operating unit P2 are devices equipped with touch panels, etc. The touch panels include a monitor 14 (display unit) for displaying various information and screens, a touch screen 13 (input unit) for receiving input of various information, and a status indicator 15 (see FIG. 1 ) for displaying the status of the operating unit (valid or invalid). Figure 8 The status display lamp 15 is lit when the processing by the first operation unit U1 or the second operation unit U2 can be accepted (valid), and is off when the processing by the first operation unit U1 or the second operation unit U2 cannot be accepted (invalid).

[0035] exist Figure 2 In the embodiment, a control unit 20 is provided on the base 2. The control unit 20 is connected to each part of the component mounting device 1 in addition to the first operating unit P1 and the second operating unit P2 (see FIG. Figure 3 ). As a result, the input unit and display unit of the first operating unit P1 and the second operating unit P2 can communicate with the control unit 20. In this way, the first operating unit P1 has an input unit and a display unit that can communicate with the control unit 20, and is arranged on the first component supply unit S1 side. In addition, the second operating unit P2 has an input unit and a display unit that can communicate with the control unit 20, and is arranged on the second component supply unit S2 side. In addition, the first operating unit P1 has a status display lamp 15 (lamp) that indicates whether the first operating unit P1 is valid or invalid. The second operating unit P2 has a status display lamp 15 (lamp) that indicates whether the second operating unit P2 is valid or invalid.

[0036] exist Figure 1 、 Figure 2In the embodiment of the present invention, the control unit 20 controls the first operation unit U1 and the component supply unit 4 of the first component supply unit S1 so that the components are placed on the substrate 3 held at the placement position of the first substrate transport lane L1 or the placement position of the second substrate transport lane L2. In addition, the control unit 20 controls the second operation unit U2 and the component supply unit 4 of the second component supply unit S2 so that the components are placed on the substrate 3 held at the placement position of the second substrate transport lane L2 or the placement position of the first substrate transport lane L1.

[0037] Thus, the component placement device 1 is a two-stage / two-head component placement device equipped with two component supply units (a first component supply unit S1 and a second component supply unit S2) and two work units (a first work unit U1 and a second work unit U2). Furthermore, the control unit 20 can control the first work unit U1 and the second work unit U2 in multiple operating modes, such as the cooperative mode and the independent mode described below, to perform component placement operations.

[0038] Next, refer to Figure 3 The following describes the structure of the control system for the dual-stage / dual-head component placement device 1. This description focuses on the function of appropriately receiving processing instructions for multiple work units (first work unit U1 and second work unit U2) from multiple operating units (first operating unit P1 and second operating unit P2) according to the operating mode.

[0039] The control unit 20 of the component mounting apparatus 1 includes a first operation unit control unit 21, a first substrate transport unit control unit 22, a second operation unit control unit 23, a second substrate transport unit control unit 24, a component supply unit control unit 25, an operation mode setting unit 26, a processing unit 27, and a storage unit 28. The storage unit 28 is a storage device that stores production data 29 and other information. The production data 29 contains information necessary for component mounting operations, such as the size of the substrate 3, the type of component to be mounted, and the mounting position (XY coordinates), and control programs for each type of mounting substrate. It also stores information related to the operating mode (cooperative mode, independent mode, etc.). An example of the control unit 20 is a computer. At least some of the functions of the control unit 20 can be implemented by the computer's processor.

[0040] exist Figure 3During the production of mounted substrates, the control unit 20 sends various commands to the first operation unit control unit 21, the first substrate transport unit control unit 22, the second operation unit control unit 23, the second substrate transport unit control unit 24, and the component supply unit control unit 25 according to the production data 29. The first operation unit control unit 21 controls the first operation unit U1 based on the commands from the control unit 20 and the commands from the processing unit 27. The first substrate transport unit control unit 22 controls the first substrate transport unit K1 based on the commands from the control unit 20 and the commands from the processing unit 27.

[0041] The second operation unit control unit 23 controls the second operation unit U2 based on commands from the control unit 20 and commands from the processing unit 27. The second substrate transport unit control unit 24 controls the second substrate transport unit K2 based on commands from the control unit 20 and commands from the processing unit 27. The component supply unit control unit 25 controls the component supply units 4 of the first component supply unit S1 and the second component supply unit S2 based on commands from the control unit 20 and commands from the processing unit 27. In this way, the control unit 20 performs component loading operations on each unit while referring to the production data 29 containing information regarding the loading positions of components on the substrate 3.

[0042] Here, refer to Figure 4 The cooperative mode and the independent mode will be described as an example of an operation mode in which the first operation unit control unit 21 controls the first operation unit U1 and the second operation unit control unit 23 controls the second operation unit U2 to perform the component mounting operation.

[0043] First, refer to Figure 4 The collaborative mode is described below using (a). In collaborative mode, the first work unit control unit 21 places a component picked up from the component supply unit 4 of the first component supply unit S1 by the first work head H1 of the first work unit U1 on the substrate 3A being transported by the first substrate transport lane L1 (arrow a1). Furthermore, the second work unit control unit 23 causes the second work head H2 of the second work unit U2 to place a component picked up from the component supply unit 4 of the second component supply unit S2 on the substrate 3A (arrow a2). The component placement operation (arrow a1) by the first work head H1 and the component placement operation (arrow a2) by the second work head H2 are performed alternately.

[0044] The first operation unit control unit 21 also places a component picked up from the component supply unit 4 of the first component supply unit S1 by the first operation head H1 of the first operation unit U1 on the substrate 3B being transported by the second substrate transport lane L2 (arrow b1). Furthermore, the second operation unit control unit 23 causes the second operation head H2 of the second operation unit U2 to place a component picked up from the component supply unit 4 of the second component supply unit S2 on the substrate 3B (arrow b2). The component placement operation (arrow b1) by the first operation head H1 and the component placement operation (arrow b2) by the second operation head H2 are performed alternately.

[0045] Next, refer to Figure 4 (b) of the figure will now explain the independent mode. In independent mode, the first work unit control unit 21 performs the following component placement operation: it places a component picked up from the component supply unit 4 of the first component supply unit S1 by the first work head H1 of the first work unit U1 on the substrate 3A being transported by the first substrate transport lane L1 (arrow c1). Furthermore, the second work unit control unit 23 performs the following component placement operation: it places a component picked up from the component supply unit 4 of the second component supply unit S2 by the second work head H2 of the second work unit U2 on the substrate 3B being transported by the second substrate transport lane L2 (arrow c2). The component placement operation (arrow c1) by the first work head H1 on the substrate 3A and the component placement operation (arrow c2) by the second work head H2 on the substrate 3B are performed independently.

[0046] Thus, the plurality of operation modes include: a cooperative mode in which the first operation unit U1 and the second operation unit U2 jointly perform component loading operations on the substrates 3A and 3B of the first substrate transport channel L1 or the second substrate transport channel L2 ( Figure 4 and independent mode, so that the first operation unit U1 on the first substrate transport channel L1 of the substrate 3A component loading operation, so that the second operation unit U2 on the second substrate transport channel L2 of the substrate 3B component loading operation ( Figure 4 (b)).

[0047] exist Figure 3 In the present invention, the operation mode setting unit 26 sets an operation mode that restricts operations using the first operating unit P1 and the second operating unit P2 based on information related to the operation mode included in the production data 29. Hereinafter, when there is no need to distinguish between the first operating unit P1 and the second operating unit P2, they will be simply referred to as "operating unit P." Furthermore, when there is no need to distinguish between the first operating unit U1 and the second operating unit U2, they will be simply referred to as "operating unit U."

[0048] Here, refer to Figure 5A specific example of the operation mode setting process performed by the operation mode setting unit 26 will be described using the following flow. If the component mounting device 1 is in production operation (YES in ST1), the operation mode setting unit 26 determines the production mode (operation mode) of the component mounting device 1 (ST2). If the operation mode is the independent mode (YES in ST3), the operation mode setting unit 26 sets the first operation mode, which accepts operations of the first work unit U1 from the first operation unit P1 and operations of the second work unit U2 from the second operation unit P2 (ST4).

[0049] If the operating mode is the cooperative mode (NO in ST3), the operation mode setting unit 26 is set to the second operation mode (ST5). In this second operation mode, operations of the first operation unit U1 and the second operation unit U2 are accepted from either the first operation unit P1 or the second operation unit P2, whichever input associated with the control process for the operation unit U is valid. Furthermore, if the component mounting device 1 is not in production operation (NO in ST1), the operation mode setting unit 26 is also set to the second operation mode (ST5).

[0050] exist Figure 3 In the example, the processing unit 27 processes inputs from the first operating unit P1 and the second operating unit P2 based on the operating mode set by the operating mode setting unit 26. Specifically, the processing unit 27 performs input processing to receive operation information from the plurality of operating units P (the first operating unit P1 and the second operating unit P2), identify which operating unit P the input originated from, and output a command based on the operation information.

[0051] Here, refer to Figure 6 The following flow describes a specific example of input processing performed by the processing unit 27 based on the input content (operation information) from the first operating unit P1 and the second operating unit P2 when the operating mode of the component mounting device 1 is the first operating mode. When the processing unit 27 detects input from either the first operating unit P1 or the second operating unit P2 (YES in ST11), it determines which operating unit P the input originated from (ST12).

[0052] If the input is from the first operating unit P1 (YES in ST13), the processing unit 27 performs processing based on the input content from the input unit (touch screen 13) of the first operating unit P1 (ST14). Specifically, the processing unit 27 performs processing so as to receive input from the first operating unit P1 for processes related to the first working unit U1 as well as input from the first operating unit P1 for processes not involving the control of the second working unit U2.

[0053] exist Figure 6If the input is from the second operating unit P2 (NO in ST13), the processing unit 27 executes processing based on the input content from the input unit (touch screen 13) of the second operating unit P2 (ST15). Specifically, the processing unit 27 performs processing so as to receive input from the second operating unit P2 for processing related to the second working unit U2 as well as input from the second operating unit P2 for processing not associated with the control of the first working unit U1.

[0054] In this way, when the action mode of the component mounting device 1 is the independent mode and the operation mode is set to the first operation mode (ST4), the processing unit 27 performs processing so as to receive input of processing accompanied by the control of the first work unit U1 and input of processing not accompanied by the control of the first work unit U1 and the second work unit U2 (work unit U) from the first operation unit P1 (ST14), and receive input of processing accompanied by the control of the second work unit U2 and input of processing not accompanied by the control of the first work unit U1 and the second work unit U2 (work unit U) from the second operation unit P2 (ST15).

[0055] Next, refer to Figure 7 The following flow describes a specific example of input processing performed by the processing unit 27 based on the input content (operation information) from the first operating unit P1 and the second operating unit P2 when the operation mode of the component mounting device 1 is the second operation mode. When the processing unit 27 detects input from either the first operating unit P1 or the second operating unit P2 (YES in ST21), it determines which operating unit P the input originated from and recognizes the input content (ST22).

[0056] If the operation associated with the control of the work unit U is an input from an active operation unit P (hereinafter referred to as the "active operation unit") (YES in ST23), the processing unit 27 determines whether the input is an operation associated with the control of the work unit U and an input in which the operation from the other operation unit P is restricted (hereinafter referred to as "restricted input") (ST24). If the input is not restricted (NO in ST24), the processing unit 27 determines whether the status indicator light 15 of the other operation unit P is off (inactive state) (ST25).

[0057] exist Figure 7In this case, if the other operating portion P is in the enabled state and the status indicator light 15 is on (NO in ST25), the processing unit 27 maintains the status as is. If the other operating portion P is in the disabled state and the status indicator light 15 is off (YES in ST25), the processing unit 27 enables the other operating portion P and turns on the status indicator light 15 (ST26), and then performs input processing based on the input content (ST27). Specifically, the processing unit 27 performs processing so as to accept input from the enabled operating portion P that does not involve processing that controls the work unit U (input that is not a restricted input) (ST27).

[0058] In the case of restricted input (YES in ST24 ), the processing unit 27 disables the other operating unit P and turns off the status indicator 15 ( ST28 ), and then performs input processing based on the input content ( ST27 ). Specifically, the processing unit 27 performs processing to receive input (restricted input) associated with control of the work unit U from the enabled operating unit P ( ST27 ).

[0059] Described in more detail, when the action mode of the component mounting device 1 is the collaborative mode and the operation mode is set to the second operation mode (ST5), when the first operating part P1 is valid (yes in ST23), the processing unit 27 performs processing so as to receive input from the first operating part P1 for processing accompanied by the control of the first operating unit U1 and the second operating unit U2, and input for processing not accompanied by the control of the first operating unit U1 and the second operating unit U2 (ST27).

[0060] In addition, when the second operating unit P2 is valid (yes in ST23), the processing unit 27 performs processing so as to receive input of processing accompanied by control of the first working unit U1 and the second working unit U2, and input of processing not accompanied by control of the first working unit U1 and the second working unit U2 from the second operating unit P2 (ST27).

[0061] exist Figure 7If the input is from an operating unit P that is not a valid operating unit (invalid operating unit P) (NO in ST23), the processing unit 27 determines whether it is restricted input (ST29). If it is restricted input (YES in ST29), the processing unit 27 performs processing to prevent the input from the invalid operating unit P from being accepted (returning to ST21). For example, the monitor 14 of the invalid operating unit P displays a message indicating that "restricted input cannot be accepted" and the process returns to ST21. If it is not restricted input (NO in ST29), the processing unit 27 performs input processing based on the input content (ST27). Specifically, the processing unit 27 performs processing to accept input from the invalid operating unit P that is not accompanied by processing that controls the work unit U (input that is not restricted input) (ST27).

[0062] Described in more detail, when the action mode of the component mounting device 1 is the collaborative mode and the operation mode is set to the second operation mode (ST5), when the first operating part P1 is invalid (No in ST23), the processing unit 27 performs processing so as not to receive input for processing accompanied by the control of the first operating unit U1 and the second operating unit U2 from the first operating part P1 (Yes in ST29), but to receive input for processing not accompanied by the control of the first operating unit U1 and the second operating unit U2 from the first operating part P1 (No in ST29, ST27).

[0063] In addition, when the second operating unit P2 is invalid (No in ST23), the processing unit 27 performs processing so as not to accept input for processing accompanied by the control of the first operating unit U1 and the second operating unit U2 from the second operating unit P2 (Yes in ST29), but to accept input for processing not accompanied by the control of the first operating unit U1 and the second operating unit U2 from the second operating unit P2 (No in ST29, ST27).

[0064] Next, refer to Figures 8 to 10 , a specific example of state transition based on operation in the operating portion P of the component mounting device 1 will be described. Figure 8 The structure of the operating unit P will be described. The first operating unit P1 and the second operating unit P2 have the same structure. Here, the first operating unit P1 is used as an example for description. The first operating unit P1 includes a touch screen 13 as an input unit, a monitor 14 as a display unit, and a status indicator 15. The monitor 14 and touch screen 13 are provided with a first hierarchical display area 30, a second hierarchical display area 31, and a screen display area 32.

[0065] Displayed in the first-level display area 30 are a home button 30h, a function A selection button 30a, a function B selection button 30b, a function C selection button 30c, a function D selection button 30d, and a function E selection button 30e. When any of the selection buttons 30a-30e is selected in the first-level display area 30, sub-function selection buttons for selecting sub-functions of the selected function are displayed in the second-level display area 31. In this example, when the function A selection button 30a is selected in the first-level display area 30, the sub-function selection buttons for selecting sub-functions of the selected function are displayed in the second-level display area 31: a sub-function A1 selection button 31a, a sub-function A2 selection button 31b, a sub-function A3 selection button 31c, and a sub-function A4 selection button 31d.

[0066] exist Figure 8 In the example, the screen display area 32 displays the screen corresponding to the sub-function selection button selected in the second-level display area 31. Furthermore, if a third-level sub-function is set, the screen display area 32 may also display the third-level sub-sub-function selection buttons. In this example, the sub-function A1 selection button 31a is selected in the second-level display area 31, and the screen corresponding to sub-function A1 (hereinafter referred to as "screen A1," etc.) is displayed in the screen display area 32.

[0067] Hereinafter, function A is defined as a function such as data reference that is not associated with the control of the work unit U. That is, selections made with the selection buttons for function A and sub-functions A1 to A4 are not restricted inputs. Furthermore, function B is defined as a function associated with the control of the work unit U, such as stopping work in the work unit U, recovering from an error stop, teaching, and calibration. That is, selections made with the selection buttons for function B and sub-functions B1 to B3 are restricted inputs.

[0068] Next, refer to Figure 9 、 Figure 10 The following describes the selection of the selection button in the first operation unit P1 and the second operation unit P2, and the transition of the screen display of the monitor 14 to the screen display area 32 and the flashing of the status display lamp 15 accompanying the selection. Figure 9 、 Figure 10 In the columns of the first and second operating sections, the status indicator lamps 15 are displayed as circles, and the screen display area 32 is displayed as a rectangle. In the status indicator lamps 15, hollow circles (◯) indicate the lit (enabled) state, while solid circles (●) indicate the unlit (disabled) state. Furthermore, the text within the screen display area 32 indicates the contents of the displayed screen.

[0069] First, refer to Figure 9The following describes examples of operations and state transitions of the operating unit P of the component mounting device 1 set to the first operating mode, using scenarios 1 through 8. Specifically, the component mounting device 1 is producing and mounting substrates in standalone mode. First, the first and second operating units P1 and P2 are set to the home scene, and the home screen (screen H) is displayed in the screen display area 32 (Scene 1). In this state, both the first and second operating units P1 and P2 are enabled, and the status indicator 15 is illuminated.

[0070] Next, when sub-function A1 is selected via the first operating unit P1, screen A1 is displayed in the screen display area 32 of the first operating unit P1, but the second operating unit P2 does not change (Scene 2). At this point, operation information for sub-function A1, independent of control by the work unit U, is transmitted from the first operating unit P1, and input for processing sub-function A1 is received via the processing unit 27 (ST14). Furthermore, in the first operating mode, the display of the second operating unit P2 remains independent of the operation of the first operating unit P1 and does not change.

[0071] exist Figure 9 Next, when sub-function A2 is selected via the first operating unit P1, operation information for sub-function A2 is transmitted from the first operating unit P1, and screen A2 is displayed in the screen display area 32 of the first operating unit P1, but the second operating unit P2 does not change (Scene 3). Next, when sub-function B3 is selected via the second operating unit P2, screen B3 is displayed in the screen display area 32 of the second operating unit P2, but the first operating unit P1 does not change (Scene 4). At this time, operation information for sub-function B3 associated with control of the work unit U is transmitted from the second operating unit P2, and input for processing sub-function B3 is received by the processing unit 27 (ST15). Furthermore, in the first operating mode, the display of the first operating unit P1 is independent of the operation of the second operating unit P2 and does not change.

[0072] Next, when sub-function B1 is selected via the first operating unit P1, operation information for sub-function B1 is transmitted from the first operating unit P1, and screen B1 is displayed in the screen display area 32 of the first operating unit P1, but no change occurs on the second operating unit P2 (Scene 5). Next, when sub-function B2 is selected via the first operating unit P1, operation information for sub-function B2 is transmitted from the first operating unit P1, and screen B2 is displayed in the screen display area 32 of the first operating unit P1, but no change occurs on the second operating unit P2 (Scene 6).

[0073] exist Figure 9, then, when the home button 30h is selected via the second operating unit P2, the screen display area 32 of the second operating unit P2 returns to the home screen (screen H), but the first operating unit P1 remains unchanged (Scene 7). Next, when the home button 30h is selected via the first operating unit P1, the screen display area 32 of the first operating unit P1 returns to the home screen (screen H), but the second operating unit P2 remains unchanged (Scene 8).

[0074] Next, refer to Figure 10 The following describes an example of the operation and state transitions of the operating unit P of the component mounting device 1 set to the second operation mode, using Scenes 11 to 19. Specifically, the component mounting device 1 is producing and mounting substrates in the collaborative mode. First, the first and second operating units P1 and P2 are set to the home scene, and the home screen (screen H) is displayed in the screen display area 32 (Scene 11). In this state, both the first and second operating units P1 and P2 are enabled, and the status indicator 15 is illuminated.

[0075] In the second operation mode, when both the first operation unit P1 and the second operation unit P2 are valid, the same screen is displayed in the screen display area 32 of the first operation unit P1 and the screen display area 32 of the second operation unit P2, and the screen display is transferred synchronously. Figure 10 In the scene 11, the screen display area 32 of the first operating unit P1 and the screen display area 32 of the second operating unit P2 are synchronized, and a synchronization mark 33 indicated by a bidirectional arrow is displayed. That is, in scene 11, the screen display areas 32 of the first operating unit P1 and the screen display areas 32 of the second operating unit P2 are synchronized.

[0076] exist Figure 10 Next, when sub-function A1 is selected via first operating unit P1, screen A1 is displayed in screen display area 32 of first operating unit P1, and screen A1 is also displayed synchronously in screen display area 32 of second operating unit P2 (scene 12). Specifically, since selection of sub-function A1 is not a restricted input (NO in ST24), and second operating unit P2 is enabled and status indicator 15 is lit (NO in ST25), status indicator 15 of second operating unit P2 does not change. Operation information for sub-function A1, which is not accompanied by control of work unit U, is transmitted from first operating unit P1, and input for processing sub-function A1 is received via processing unit 27 (ST27).

[0077] Next, when sub-function A2 is selected via the first operating unit P1 , operation information for sub-function A2 is transmitted from the first operating unit P1 , screen A2 is displayed in the screen display area 32 of the first operating unit P1 , and screen A2 is also synchronously displayed in the screen display area 32 of the second operating unit P2 (scene 13 ).

[0078] exist Figure 10 Next, when sub-function B3 is selected via the second operating unit P2, screen B3 is displayed in the screen display area 32 of the second operating unit P2. The first operating unit P1 is disabled, and the status indicator 15 is off. However, the screen displayed in the screen display area 32 does not change (Scene 14). In other words, the selection of sub-function B3 is a restricted input (YES in ST24). The first operating unit P1 is disabled, and the status indicator 15 is off (ST28). Operation information for sub-function B3 associated with control of the work unit U is transmitted from the second operating unit P2, and input for processing sub-function B3 is received via the processing unit 27 (ST27).

[0079] Furthermore, the first operating unit P1 becomes an invalid operating unit (NO in ST23), and restricted input such as selection of function B from the first operating unit P1 is not accepted (YES in ST29). Furthermore, the screen displays in the screen display area 32 of the first operating unit P1 and the screen display area 32 of the second operating unit P2 become out of sync (become asynchronous).

[0080] exist Figure 10 , next, when the home button 30h is selected through the first operating unit P1, the screen display area 32 of the first operating unit P1 returns to the home screen (screen H), but the status indicator light 15 of the first operating unit P1 and the status indicator light 15 of the second operating unit P2 and the screen display area 32 do not change (scene 15).

[0081] Next, when sub-function A1 is selected via first operating unit P1, operation information for sub-function A1 is transmitted from first operating unit P1, and screen A1 is displayed in screen display area 32 of first operating unit P1. However, there is no change in the status indicator lamp 15 of first operating unit P1, the status indicator lamp 15 of second operating unit P2, or the screen display area 32 (Scene 16). In other words, since the input from first operating unit P1, which is an invalid operating unit (NO in ST23), is not a restricted input (NO in ST29), the processing unit 27 accepts input for processing sub-function A1 without control by work unit U (ST27).

[0082] exist Figure 10, next, when the home button 30h is selected through the second operating unit P2, the screen display area 32 of the second operating unit P2 returns to the home screen (screen H), the first operating unit P1 becomes valid, and the status indicator 15 lights up, but there is no change in the display screen of the screen display area 32 (scene 17).

[0083] Specifically, since the input is from the second operating unit P2, which is the valid operating unit (YES in ST23), and is not a restricted input (NO in ST24), the other first operating units P1 are invalid, and the status indicator 15 is off (YES in ST25). Therefore, the processing unit 27 validates the other first operating units P1 and illuminates the status indicator 15 (ST26), and then performs processing (ST27) to accept the input for returning to the home screen without control of the work unit U. Furthermore, since the first operating unit P1 has become valid, the screen A1 (scene 18) is displayed in the screen display area 32 of the second operating unit P2 in synchronization.

[0084] exist Figure 10 Next, when sub-function A2 is selected by the first operating unit P1, operation information of sub-function A2 is transmitted from the first operating unit P1, screen A2 is displayed in the screen display area 32 of the first operating unit P1, and screen A2 is synchronously displayed in the screen display area 32 of the second operating unit P2 (scene 19).

[0085] As described above, the 2-stage / 2-head component mounting device 1 of this embodiment includes: a first substrate transport channel L1 for transporting a substrate 3, a second substrate transport channel L2 for transporting a substrate 3, a first component supply section S1 having a plurality of component supply units 4, a second component supply section S2 having a plurality of component supply units 4, a first operation unit U1 including a first operation head H1 and a first operation head moving mechanism F1, a second operation unit U2 including a second operation head H2 and a second operation head moving mechanism F2, a first operating section P1 having an input section (touch screen 13) and a display section (monitor 14) capable of communicating with a control section 20, and a second operating section P2 having an input section and a display section capable of communicating with the control section 20.

[0086] The component mounting device 1 also includes a control unit 20 capable of controlling the first and second operating units U1 and U2 in multiple operating modes to perform component mounting operations; an operation mode setting unit 26 for setting an operation mode that restricts operations performed by the first and second operating units P1 and P2 based on the operating mode; and a processing unit 27 for processing inputs from the first and second operating units P1 and P2 based on the operation mode set by the operation mode setting unit 26. This allows the multiple operating units U (the first and second operating units U1 and U2) to be appropriately operated using the multiple operating units P (the first and second operating units P1 and P2).

[0087] Next, refer to Figure 11 The following describes the setting of the operation mode by the operation mode setting unit and the input processing by the processing unit in the 4-stage / 4-head component mounting apparatus 100. Hereinafter, the same reference numerals are given to the same parts as those in the component mounting apparatus 1, and detailed descriptions thereof are omitted.

[0088] exist Figure 11 In the embodiment, the component mounting device 100 includes a first substrate transport lane L1 on the front side and a second substrate transport lane L2 on the rear side. Furthermore, the component mounting device 100 includes a first component supply section S1 having a plurality of component supply units 4 on the front side upstream, and a second component supply section S2 having a plurality of component supply units 4 on the rear side upstream. Furthermore, the component mounting device 100 includes a third component supply section S3 having a plurality of component supply units 4 on the front side downstream, and a fourth component supply section S4 having a plurality of component supply units 4 on the rear side downstream.

[0089] The component mounting device 100 includes a first operating unit U1 comprising a first operating head H1 and a first operating head moving mechanism F1 on the upstream front side, and a second operating unit U2 comprising a second operating head H2 and a second operating head moving mechanism F2 on the upstream rear side. Furthermore, the component mounting device 100 includes a third operating unit U3 comprising a third operating head H3 and a third operating head moving mechanism F3 on the downstream front side, and a fourth operating unit U4 comprising a fourth operating head H4 and a fourth operating head moving mechanism F4 on the downstream rear side. Furthermore, the component mounting device 100 includes a first operating unit P1 on the front side and a second operating unit P2 on the rear side.

[0090] exist Figure 11In the present invention, the control unit of the component mounting device 100 can control the work units U (first work unit U1, second work unit U2, third work unit U4, and fourth work unit U4) in multiple operating modes to perform component mounting operations. Furthermore, the operation mode setting unit of the component mounting device 100 sets an operation mode that restricts operations performed by the operating units P (first operating unit P1 and second operating unit P2) based on the operating mode. Furthermore, the processing unit of the component mounting device 100 processes input from the operating units P based on the operation mode set by the operation mode setting unit 26.

[0091] Next, refer to Figure 11 (a) will now describe the coordinated mode of the four-stage / four-head component placement device 100. In coordinated mode, the first work head H1 places a component picked up from the component supply unit 4 of the first component supply section S1 on the substrate 3A transported upstream in the first substrate transport lane L1 (arrow d1). Furthermore, the second work head H2 places a component picked up from the component supply unit 4 of the second component supply section S2 on the substrate 3A (arrow d1). The first work head H1 and the second work head H2 perform component placement operations (arrow d1) on the substrate 3A, alternating between the component placement operations (arrow d1) and the component placement operations (arrow d1) on the substrate 3A.

[0092] Furthermore, in the coordinated mode, the third work head H3 places components picked up from the component supply unit 4 of the third component supply section S3 on the substrate 3B transported downstream in the second substrate transport lane L2 (arrow e1). Furthermore, the fourth work head H4 places components picked up from the component supply unit 4 of the fourth component supply section S4 on the substrate 3B (arrow e2). The third work head H3 places components on the substrate 3B (arrow e1) and the fourth work head H4 places components on the substrate 3B (arrow e2) alternately.

[0093] In this way, in the collaborative mode, the control unit of the 4-carrier / 4-head component loading device 100 causes the 1st operation unit U1 and the 2nd operation unit U2 to jointly perform component loading operations on the substrate 3A of the 1st substrate transport channel L1 (arrow d1, arrow d2), and causes the 3rd operation unit U3 and the 4th operation unit U4 to jointly perform component loading operations on the substrate 3B of the 2nd substrate transport channel L2 (arrow e1, arrow e2).

[0094] Next, refer to Figure 11(b) of FIG. 1 illustrates the independent mode of the four-stage / four-head component placement device 100. In independent mode, the first work head H1 places a component picked up from the component supply unit 4 of the first component supply section S1 on the substrate 3A conveyed upstream in the first substrate conveyance lane L1 (arrow f1). Furthermore, the second work head H2 places a component picked up from the component supply unit 4 of the second component supply section S2 on the substrate 3B conveyed upstream in the second substrate conveyance lane L2 (arrow f2).

[0095] Furthermore, a component picked up from the component supply unit 4 of the third component supply section S3 by the third operation head H3 is placed on the substrate 3C conveyed downstream in the first substrate conveyance lane L1 (arrow f3). Furthermore, a component picked up from the component supply unit 4 of the fourth component supply section S4 by the fourth operation head H4 is placed on the substrate 3D conveyed downstream in the second substrate conveyance lane L2 (arrow f4).

[0096] The first work head H1 independently performs the component loading operation (arrow f1) on the substrate 3A, the second work head H2 independently performs the component loading operation (arrow f2) on the substrate 3B, the third work head H3 independently performs the component loading operation (arrow f3) on the substrate 3C, and the fourth work head H4 independently performs the component loading operation (arrow f4) on the substrate 3D.

[0097] In this way, in the independent mode, the control unit of the 4-carrier / 4-head component loading device 100 causes the 1st operation unit U1 and the 3rd operation unit U3 to perform component loading operations on the substrates 3A and 3C of the 1st substrate transport channel L1 (arrow f1, arrow f3), and causes the 2nd operation unit U2 and the 4th operation unit U4 to perform component loading operations on the substrates 3B and 3D of the 2nd substrate transport channel L2 (arrow f2, arrow f4).

[0098] The operation mode setting portion of the 4-carrier / 4-head component loading device 100 is set to the first operation mode for accepting operations of the first operation unit U1 and the third operation unit U3 from the first operation portion P1 and for accepting operations of the second operation unit U2 and the fourth operation unit U4 from the second operation portion P2 when the operation mode is the independent mode. When the operation mode is the collaborative mode, the operation mode setting portion is set to the second operation mode for accepting operations of the first operation unit U1, the second operation unit U2, the third operation unit U3 and the fourth operation unit U4 from any valid operation portion P of the first operation portion P1 or the second operation portion P2.

[0099] When the operation mode is the first operation mode, the processing unit of the 4-carrier / 4-head component loading device 100 receives inputs of processing accompanied by control of the 1st operation unit U1 and the 3rd operation unit U3, and inputs of processing not accompanied by control of all the operation units U, from the first operation unit P1, and receives inputs of processing accompanied by control of the 2nd operation unit U2 and the 4th operation unit U4, and inputs of processing not accompanied by control of all the operation units U from the second operation unit P2.

[0100] When the operation mode is the second operation mode, the processing unit of the 4-carrier / 4-head component loading device 100 does not receive input for processing accompanied by the control of all the operation units U from the first operation unit P1 when the first operation unit P1 is invalid, and receives input for processing not accompanied by the control of all the operation units U from the first operation unit P1; when the second operation unit P2 is invalid, the processing unit does not receive input for processing accompanied by the control of all the operation units U from the second operation unit P2, and receives input for processing not accompanied by the control of all the operation units U from the second operation unit P2.

[0101] When the operation mode is the second operation mode, the processing unit of the 4-carrier / 4-head component loading device 100 receives inputs of processing accompanied by control of all the operation units U and inputs of processing not accompanied by control of all the operation units U from the first operation unit P1 when the first operation unit P1 is valid, and receives inputs of processing accompanied by control of all the operation units U and inputs of processing not accompanied by control of all the operation units U from the second operation unit P2 when the second operation unit P2 is valid.
