Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present disclosure relates to a board working device and a mounting line equipped with the board working device. [Background technology]

[0002] One of the board work devices that make up a mounting line is a surface mounter. A surface mounter is a device that mounts electronic components on a board. Patent Document 1 below is a document that discloses technology related to surface mounters. The production system disclosed in Patent Document 1 transmits the created component data and information indicating the mounting quality of the mounted components to a cloud storage device, server device, etc. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Patent Publication No. 2022-165667 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] At production sites, there are times when highly skilled operators are not available, and support for board work equipment such as surface mounters must be provided by external support services for troubleshooting and productivity improvement. In such cases, it may be necessary to check the machine status according to work instructions from the support service to check for error conditions, etc., and to output the obtained machine information from the board work equipment and transmit it to the support service.

[0005] However, depending on the skill level of the operator, there is a problem that it is difficult to transmit machine information without error. This problem is not limited to cases where an external support service is used, but is also the same when, for example, an operator on a mounting line collects machine information. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] (1) A board work device according to the present invention includes a generator for generating a data code, and outputs machine information obtained in accordance with a work instruction as a data code. The board work device constitutes a part of a mounting line and is a device for performing a predetermined work on a board.

[0007] The board working devices include inspection machines that inspect boards, printers that print solder on boards, dispensers that apply adhesive to boards, and surface mounters that mount components on boards. The term "machine" refers to each of these board working devices. The machine information is information about the machine, and includes the operation log, setting information, parameters, etc. of the board working device. It also includes sensor information of the machine.

[0008] Data codes include one-dimensional codes such as barcodes, and two-dimensional codes such as data matrices and QR codes (registered trademarks). They also include communication data that is created in a format determined by a certain communication protocol or standard, such as NFC (Near Field Communication), and is readable by a computer. Data codes can be output in a form that displays a one-dimensional or two-dimensional code, or in a form that transmits communication data to a mobile terminal.

[0009] According to the configuration (1), machine information collected from a machine in accordance with work instructions can be transmitted without error, regardless of the skill level of the operator.

[0010] (2) In the board working device described in (1) above, the work instructions may be in the form of a data code, and the board working device may further include a reading unit that reads the work instructions in the form of a data code.

[0011] According to the configuration of (2), work instructions (operations) can be transmitted to the board processing device without error, regardless of the skill level of the operator.

[0012] (3) In the board working apparatus described in (2) above, the work instructions may be given from outside via a mobile terminal. Here, "given from outside" means that the work instructions are given from a work instruction provider located outside the building where the mounting line is installed. The provider of the work instructions may be, for example, a support service or a data server outside the building, which gives the work instructions to the board working apparatus via a mobile terminal.

[0013] (4) In the board working apparatus described in (3) above, the data code of the work instruction may be generated externally and received by the mobile terminal, or may be generated within the mobile terminal after receiving the work instruction from an external source.

[0014] According to the configurations (3) and (4), it is possible to transmit work instructions (operations) given from outside to the substrate processing device without error, regardless of the skill level of the operator.

[0015] (5) In the substrate working device according to the above (3) or (4), the work instructions may include an operation instruction for the substrate working device and an output instruction for the operation result in the form of coded data. According to the configuration of (5), complicated work instructions can be transmitted accurately without error.

[0016] (6) In the board working device described in any one of (3) to (5) above, the work instructions may be determined externally based on error information of the board working device or information related to production output from the board working device. The error information is information for dealing with errors, and includes an error number and a log at the time of error occurrence. The information related to production is information for improving productivity, and is a production history log or the like. Moreover, "determined externally" means that the work instructions are determined by a source of work instructions located outside a building where a mounting line is installed. The source of work instructions is, for example, a support service or a data server outside a building.

[0017] (7) In the board working apparatus described in any one of (3) to (6) above, the work instructions may be determined externally based on machine information output by the board working apparatus in response to an input operation by an operator.

[0018] (8) In the board working device according to any one of (1) to (7) above, the data code may be a one-dimensional code or a two-dimensional code. Since the amount of data that can be stored in a two-dimensional code is not so large, the code is suitable for exchanging small-scale data such as troubleshooting and information on improvements to a production program. When the amount of data to be handled is increased, the code can be expanded by creating multiple two-dimensional codes.

[0019] (9) In the board working apparatus described in (8) above, the board working apparatus may include a code reader as the reading unit that reads the one-dimensional code or the two-dimensional code displayed on a mobile terminal.

[0020] According to the configuration (9), by reading the one-dimensional or two-dimensional code displayed on the mobile terminal with a code reader, work instructions given by an operator or from outside can be transmitted to the board working device accurately and without error.

[0021] The technology disclosed in this specification can be applied to a mounting line equipped with a board working device and a mobile terminal. Effect of the Invention

[0022] According to the present invention, machine information of a substrate processing device can be transmitted without error, regardless of the skill level of the operator. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0024] <Embodiment 1> 1. Mounting Line 10 Figure 1 is a diagram showing the configuration of a mounting line. Mounting line 10 is equipped with, in order from the upstream side (the right side of Figure 1), an inspection machine 11, a surface mounter 12, an inspection machine 13, and a reflow machine 14, which are connected in series via multiple conveyors. Inspection machine 11, surface mounter 12, inspection machine 13, and reflow machine 14 are examples of the "board working device" of the present invention.

[0025] The inspection machine 11 is a device that inspects the state of the board P to be input to the surface mounting machine 12. The surface mounting machine 12 is a device that mounts components E on the surface of the board P.

[0026] The number of surface mounters 12 may be one or more, and in this embodiment, a line configuration is provided in which three surface mounters 12 are arranged in series. The configuration of the surface mounter 12 will be described later.

[0027] The inspection machine 13 is a device that inspects the board P on which the components E are mounted before the board P is input into the reflow device 14. The reflow device 14 is a device that joins the board P and the components E by reflow bonding.

[0028] The mounting line 10 has a production management device 15 and a mobile terminal 150. The production management device 15 is connected to each of the devices (hereinafter, machines) 11, 12, 13, and 14 of the mounting line 10 so as to be capable of communicating with each other, and manages the production of the mounting line 10.

[0029] The mobile terminal 150 is an information communication terminal that can be carried by an operator. The mobile terminal 150 may be, for example, a smartphone. The mobile terminal 150 can access the network 17 via a wireless router (wireless LAN), a base station, or the like. The network 17 is a WAN (wide area network) such as the Internet, and connects LANs (Local Area Networks) to each other so that they can communicate with each other.

[0030] 2. Surface mount machine 2, the surface mounter 12 includes a base 12A, a transport conveyor 20, a head unit 60, and a drive device 30. In the following description, the longitudinal direction of the base 12A (the left-right direction in FIG. 2) is defined as the X direction, and the depth direction of the base 12A (the up-down direction in FIG. 2) is defined as the Y direction.

[0031] The transfer conveyor 20 is disposed in the center of the base 12A. The transfer conveyor 20 includes a pair of transfer belts 21, and transfers the printed circuit board P in the X direction.

[0032] Four component supply units 25 are provided on the base 12A so as to surround a work position in the center of the base. Each component supply unit 25 has a large number of feeders 80 arranged side by side for supplying components E.

[0033] At a work position in the center of the base, a mounting process in which the components E supplied by the feeder 80 are mounted on a substrate P is performed by a plurality of mounting heads H mounted on a head unit 60.

[0034] The driving device 30 is a device that moves the head unit 60 in a planar direction (X-axis-Y axis direction) on the base 12A. The driving device 30 is composed of a Y-axis ball screw 45, a Y-axis motor 47, an X-axis ball screw 55, and an X-axis motor 57.

[0035] By driving the Y-axis motor 47, the X-beam 51 and the head unit 60 can be moved in the Y direction along the guide rails 42 (Y-axis servo mechanism).

[0036] By driving the X-axis motor 57, the head unit 60 can be moved in the X direction relative to the X-beam 51 (X-axis servo mechanism).

[0037] Therefore, by controlling the X-axis motor 57 and the Y-axis motor 47 in a composite manner, the head unit 60 can be moved in a planar direction (X-axis and Y-axis directions) on the base 12A.

[0038] The head unit 60 includes a plurality of mounting heads H. In this embodiment, an in-line type head unit in which the mounting heads H are mounted in a row is illustrated as an example.

[0039] The mounting head H has a long shaft shape extending in the vertical direction. The mounting head H is configured so that negative pressure is supplied to it from a negative pressure means (not shown) to generate a suction force at the tip of the head.

[0040] The mounting head H is configured to be able to move up and down independently of the head unit 60 by a direct acting mechanism (for example, a screw mechanism) using a Z-axis motor 67 as a drive source.

[0041] With this configuration, by operating the X-axis motor 57, the Y-axis motor 47, and the Z-axis motor 67 at a predetermined timing, the component E supplied from the feeder 80 can be picked up by the mounting head H and mounted at a predetermined mounting position on the substrate P.

[0042] In addition, reference numeral 27 in Fig. 2 denotes a component recognition camera, and reference numeral 62 in Fig. 3 denotes a board recognition camera. The component recognition camera 27 is fixed on the base 12A with its imaging surface facing upward.

[0043] The component recognition camera 27 captures an image (bottom surface image) of the component E picked up by the mounting head H, and detects the suction posture of the component E by the mounting head H. The board recognition camera 62 is fixed to the head unit 60 with the imaging surface facing downward, and is configured to move integrally with the head unit 60.

[0044] As a result, by driving the above-mentioned X-axis servo mechanism and Y-axis servo mechanism, an image of an arbitrary position on the substrate P can be captured by the substrate recognition camera 62.

[0045] The electrical configuration of the surface mounter 12 and the mobile terminal 150 will be described with reference to Fig. 4. The surface mounter 12 includes a processor 100, a motor controller 110, cameras 27, 62, a memory 111, a display 113, an input unit 115, and the like.

[0046] The motor control unit 110 is connected to the X-axis motor 57, the Y-axis motor 47, and the Z-axis motor 67. The storage unit 111 stores a production program for mounting the component E on the board P and data of a component library.

[0047] The production program includes information on the mounting order, mounting position, and mounting height of the components E on the board P, as well as information on the axis speed when mounting the components E on the board P. The component library is data (type, shape, etc.) of the components E to be mounted on the board P.

[0048] The arithmetic processing unit 100 includes a CPU 101, a RAM 103, etc. The arithmetic processing unit 100 mounts the component E on the board P by controlling the motor control unit 34 in accordance with the production program while referring to the component library.

[0049] The display unit 113 is, for example, a display. The input unit 115 is a user interface that allows a user to perform an input operation on the surface mounter 12.

[0050] In addition to the above, the surface mounter 12 has a reading unit 121 and a generating unit 123. The reading unit 121 reads the two-dimensional code C, and the generating unit 123 generates the two-dimensional code C. An example of the reading unit 121 is a code reader 121 shown in FIG.

[0051] The mobile terminal 150 includes a control unit 151, a storage unit 153, a display operation unit 155, and a communication unit 157 for network connection. In addition to the above, the mobile terminal 150 also includes a reading unit 161. The reading unit 161 reads the two-dimensional code C. One example of the reading unit 161 is a built-in camera 161 of the mobile terminal 150 (see FIG. 5).

[0052] 3. Information transmission using 2D codes In the mounting line 10, in order to troubleshoot or improve productivity, specific operations may be performed on the surface mounter 12. Specific operations include, when an error occurs, performing a single-axis operation of the surface mounter 12 to acquire an operation log of the machine 12 in order to identify the faulty part, or, when a recognition error occurs, acquiring an image to investigate the cause of the error and registering the component library data after the error has been improved.

[0053] It is important that these tasks are carried out based on an accurate understanding of the situation, and they are often non-routine tasks.

[0054] On the other hand, there are cases where highly skilled operators are not present at the production site, and a situation arises where an external support service 18 must be relied upon to handle errors and perform maintenance on the surface mounter 12. The external support service 18 is located in a different location from the building in which the mounting line 10 is installed, and is, for example, a service operation base provided by a manufacturer of board working equipment such as surface mounters.

[0055] When requesting an external support service 18 to handle errors, etc., there is a challenge in that, depending on the skill level of the operator, it is difficult to accurately communicate the status of the surface mounter 12 to the support service 18 and to communicate the work instructions of the support service 18 to the surface mounter 12 without error.

[0056] Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 6, if the production management device 15 is capable of communicating with a support service 18 via a network 17, it is also possible to utilize a remote maintenance service.

[0057] The remote maintenance service is a service in which the production management device 15 directly exchanges information with an external support service 18, without the intervention of an operator, to remotely perform maintenance of the surface mounter 12.

[0058] However, there are cases where the user does not subscribe to the remote maintenance service. In addition, when the production management device 15 does not have a function to communicate with the support service 18, or when communication is not working properly, and direct network access to the production management device 15 from the outside is not possible, it is difficult to receive the remote maintenance service. Even in such cases, it is desirable to smoothly handle errors in the surface mounter 12, perform maintenance, and improve productivity.

[0059] Therefore, in the mounting line 10 of the first embodiment, the information (1) and (2) is transferred between the surface mounters 12 and the mobile terminal 150 using a two-dimensional code C such as a data matrix, as shown in FIG.

[0060] (1) Data to be input from the mobile terminal 150 to the surface mounter 12 For example, these are work instructions such as machine operation instructions, and instructions to change a parts library or a production program.

[0061] (2) Data output from the surface mounter 12 to the mobile terminal 150 For example, this is machine information such as the operation log of the machine 12, setting parameters, production history, etc.

[0062] By transmitting information between the surface mounter 12 and the mobile terminal 150 using the two-dimensional code C, there are fewer input errors compared to when an operator manually inputs this information into the surface mounter 12 or the mobile terminal 150. Therefore, information can be transmitted accurately between the surface mounter 12 and the mobile terminal 150.

[0063] As shown in FIG. 4, the mobile terminal 150 can communicate with an external support service 18 via a network 17 such as the Internet. Therefore, if information can be transmitted accurately between the surface mounter 12 and the mobile terminal 150, it will be possible to utilize the support service 18 to troubleshoot errors when they occur and to improve production programs with the aim of increasing productivity.

[0064] Furthermore, since the amount of data that can be stored in 2D code C is not that large, it is suitable for exchanging small amounts of data, such as troubleshooting and information on improvements to production programs. If more data needs to be handled, it can be expanded by creating multiple 2D code C. However, this has the disadvantage of requiring more scans.

[0065] <Examples of information transmission using 2D code C> (1) Error information output When production is temporarily stopped due to the occurrence of an error, the surface mounter 12 notifies the user of the error by turning on a warning light, etc. In parallel with the error notification, analysis information required for error analysis is automatically collected.

[0066] When the surface mounter 12 collects the error analysis information, as shown in FIG. 8, the generation unit 123 converts the error information and the collected analysis information into a two-dimensional code, and displays it on the display unit 113 together with a message prompting the user to read the two-dimensional code C1.

[0067] The information for error analysis differs depending on the error: in the case of a mounting error, it is a servo log of the drive axis, etc., and in the case of a component recognition error, it is an error image, component recognition parameters, etc.

[0068] If the operator is away from the surface mounting machine 12, he or she moves to the surface mounting machine 12 where the error occurred, then holds the mobile terminal 150 over the display unit 113, reads the two-dimensional code C1 on the display unit 113 with the reading unit 161, and obtains the error information and information for analyzing the error from the surface mounting machine 12.

[0069] The operator then waits near the surface mounter 12 where the error occurred, and transfers the acquired error information and its analysis information from the mobile terminal 150 to the support service 18 using a communication service (email, etc.) via the network 17 (see Figures 4 and 8).

[0070] As a result of the above, the error information of the surface mounter 12 and the information for analysis thereof can be transmitted to the support service 18. The support service 18 analyzes the information transmitted from the surface mounter 12 and determines a solution for restoring the surface mounter 12 that has stopped due to the error.

[0071] Solutions vary depending on the error that has occurred: for example, in the case of a component mounting error, a change to the production program (e.g., changing the setting of the mounting axis speed) may be considered. In the case of a recognition error, measures to reduce recognition errors may include adjusting the recognition parameters or updating the component library.

[0072] (2) Error recovery When the support service 18 determines a solution for the surface mounter 12, it converts the data (change data for the production program and change data for the component library) into a two-dimensional code as shown in Figures 4 and 9. Then, it transmits the two-dimensionally coded solution as a work instruction to the operator's mobile terminal 150 by using a communication service (email, etc.) via the network 17.

[0073] When the mobile terminal 150 receives the two-dimensional code C2 from the support service 18, an operator waiting near the surface mounter 12 displays the received two-dimensional code C2 on the mobile terminal 150.

[0074] The operator reads the displayed two-dimensional code C2 with the reading unit 121 of the surface mounting machine 12. This enables the surface mounting machine 12 to obtain the work instructions provided by the support service 18, that is, the solution to the error.

[0075] Therefore, the error can be resolved by modifying the data in the parts library or the data in the production program in accordance with the acquired solution in the arithmetic processing unit 100.

[0076] 4.Effects According to embodiment 1, by converting information into a two-dimensional code, "data to be input to the surface mounter 12 (such as work instructions)" and "data to be output from the surface mounter 12 (such as error information and machine information)" can be transmitted easily and without error between the surface mounter 12 and the mobile terminal 150.

[0077] In addition, reading the two-dimensional code C used for transmitting information can be done at low cost because existing code readers can be used.

[0078] <Embodiment 2> In the first embodiment, the mobile terminal 150 issues only one operation instruction to the surface mounter 12. The work instruction from the mobile terminal 150 to the surface mounter 12 may include multiple operations, such as an "operation instruction + log output instruction."

[0079] For example, when an error occurs, there may be cases where it is desired to obtain additional detailed information in order to narrow down the cause. In such cases, as in (A) or (B), a command that combines an operation command and a log output command may be converted into a two-dimensional code and sent from the mobile terminal 150 to the surface mounter 12.

[0080] (A) Output the servo log when xxx is operated (B) Output the image from the camera when xxx is activated

[0081] Furthermore, for example, when trying out measures to improve productivity, the command (C) including the adjustment of the production program and the log output command may be converted into a two-dimensional code and sent from the mobile terminal 150 to the surface mounter 12.

[0082] (C) Temporarily change the production program parameter xxx to yyy, and output the operation log of machine 12 after the parameter change.

[0083] According to the second embodiment, it is possible to obtain accurate information without errors even for complicated instructions that combine multiple actions. This is particularly effective in that it is less susceptible to the effects of language differences and skill differences.

[0084] <Examples of information transmission using 2D code C> For example, when an error occurs and detailed investigation (additional information) is required to narrow down the cause, the support service 18 converts the work instructions, including multiple operations (e.g., obtaining servo logs during xx operation), into a two-dimensional code, as shown in FIG. 10.

[0085] Then, the support service 18 transmits the two-dimensional code C3 of the work instruction to the mobile terminal 150 of the operator by using a communication service (email, etc.) via the network 17.

[0086] When the two-dimensional code C3 is received from the support service 18, the operator waiting near the surface mounter 12 displays the received two-dimensional code C3 on the mobile terminal 150.

[0087] Thereafter, the operator reads the displayed two-dimensional code C3 with the reading unit 121 of the surface mounting machine 12. As a result, the surface mounting machine 12 can obtain a work instruction from the support service 18.

[0088] Thereafter, the surface mounter 12 operates the machine 12 according to the work instruction and acquires an operation log, thereby completing the work instruction of the support service 18. After completing the work instruction, the surface mounter 12 converts information on the log of the operation result for the work instruction into a two-dimensional code and displays it on the display unit 113.

[0089] When the two-dimensional code C4 is displayed on the display unit 113, the operator holds the mobile terminal 150 over the display unit 113 to read the two-dimensional code C4 and obtain the operation log of the machine 12.

[0090] Thereafter, the operator transfers the acquired operation log of the machine 12 from the mobile terminal 150 to the support service 18 by using a communication service (email, etc.) via the network 17.

[0091] As described above, the support service 18 can narrow down the cause of the error in the machine 12 by analyzing the operation log of the machine 12 (in this example, the servo log during the operation of xxx). In this way, the support service 18 can provide the surface mounter 12 with a highly reliable solution (work instructions).

[0092] In the above, the acquisition of additional information is performed under the initiative of the support service 18, but it may be performed under the initiative of an operator. The support service 18 may analyze the status of the surface mounter 12 and determine a solution based on the machine information (servo log, etc.) output by the surface mounter 12 in response to an input operation (instruction to acquire additional information) by the operator to the surface mounter 12, and may issue a work instruction to the surface mounter 12. In addition, the input operation by the operator to the surface mounter 12 may be an input method using a two-dimensional code or an input method using the input unit 115.

[0093] The techniques disclosed in the first and second embodiments can be used for troubleshooting when a machine malfunctions, troubleshooting when a part breaks down, improving cycle time, and improving recognition errors, as shown in FIG.

[0094] <Other embodiments> The present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above and illustrated in the drawings, and the following embodiments, for example, are also included within the technical scope of the present invention.

[0095] (1) In the above embodiment, a smartphone operable with a touch panel has been exemplified as the mobile terminal 150. The mobile terminal 150 is not limited to a smartphone, and may be, for example, a notebook computer. As shown in FIG. 12, the mobile terminal 150 may include a generation unit 163 in addition to the control unit 151, storage unit 153, display operation unit 155, communication unit 157, and reading unit 161. Information to be input to the surface mounter 12 may be converted into a two-dimensional code by the mobile terminal 150 (generation unit 163).

[0096] (2) In the above embodiment, the work instructions for the surface mounter 12 and the machine information of the surface mounter 12 are converted into a two-dimensional code C and exchanged with the mobile terminal 150. This information may be converted into a one-dimensional code and exchanged. Furthermore, this information may be converted into communication data in a format (e.g., NDEF) that complies with the NFC (Near Field Communication) communication standard, and the communication data may be exchanged with the mobile terminal 150 using NFC communication.

[0097] Fig. 13 is a block diagram when compatible with NFC communication, and differs from Fig. 12 in that NFC communication units 125 and 165 are added to the surface mounter 12 and the mobile terminal 150, respectively. In addition, generation units 123 and 163 generate communication data for NFC, and reading units 121 and 161 read the communication data for NFC.

[0098] (3) In the above embodiment, an example was shown in which the machine 12 was maintained with the support of the support service 18. The present technology can also be applied to a case in which, for example, an operator collects machine information from the surface mount machine 12 and maintains the machine 12 without requesting support from the support service 18.

[0099] (4) In the above embodiment, the support service 18 connected to the network 17 is shown as an example of a source of work instructions. The source of work instructions is not limited to the support service 18, but may be a cloud service server on the network 17, as long as it can accumulate know-how for troubleshooting and productivity improvement and provide these work instructions to machines such as surface mounters. In addition, the source of work instructions is not limited to a service facility provided by a manufacturer, but may be a data server in the user's own factory or a data server in a factory at another base of the user that is accessible via the network 17.

[0100] (5) In the above embodiment, the present invention is applied to the maintenance of a surface mounter when an error occurs. The present invention can be applied not only to the surface mounter 12, but also to the maintenance of an inspection machine or a reflow machine. The present invention can also be applied to the maintenance of other machines that make up the mounting line, such as a printer or a dispenser. [Explanation of symbols]
