After the component 2 is mounted on the mounting area 50 via the cream solder 60 and before the cream solder 60 is irradiated with laser light, the component 2 is not soldered to the mounting area 50. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 15, when the mounting area 50 is inclined with respect to the horizontal plane, the component 2 may be misaligned with respect to the mounting area 50 due to the action of gravity.
[0061] For example, as shown in FIG. 13, when component 2A is mounted on mounting area 50A and then component 2B is mounted on mounting area 50B, mounting area 50A is inclined with respect to the horizontal plane. When mounting area 50A is inclined with respect to the horizontal plane, due to the action of gravity, component 2A may be displaced.
[0062] When calculating the displacement amount ΔD of component 2, after component 2 is mounted on mounting area 50 via solder paste 60 and before the solder paste 60 is irradiated with laser light, component 2 is imaged by camera 25. Displacement amount calculation unit 35 can calculate the displacement amount ΔD of component 2 based on the image data of component 2 imaged by camera 25.
[0063] Allowable angle acquisition unit 36 acquires an allowable angle θ indicating the maximum value of the inclination angle of component 2 at which the displacement amount ΔD of component 2 after mounting is suppressed to be equal to or less than a predetermined specified amount. The inclination angle of component 2 is equal to the inclination angle of mounting area 50 on which component 2 is mounted. The inclination angle of component 2 and the inclination angle of mounting area 50 are inclination angles with respect to the horizontal plane. The specified amount is a value close to zero. In the embodiment, allowable angle θ is the maximum value of the inclination angle at which component 2 is substantially not displaced.
[0064] As shown in FIG. 15, when displacement amount calculation unit 35 calculates displacement amount ΔD, stage control unit 32 inclines mounting area 50 to an arbitrary inclination angle. Stage control unit 32 gradually increases the inclination angle of mounting area 50 with respect to the horizontal plane from 0 degrees. Camera 25 images component 2 mounted on mounting area 50 whose inclination angle is gradually increasing. Displacement amount calculation unit 35 can calculate the maximum value of the inclination angle of component 2 at which displacement amount ΔD becomes equal to or less than the specified value based on the image data of component 2 mounted on mounting area 50 whose inclination angle is gradually increasing. In the embodiment, displacement amount calculation unit 35 can calculate the maximum value of the inclination angle of component 2 at which component 2 is substantially not displaced based on the image data of component 2.
[0065] The allowable angle acquisition unit 36 acquires, as the allowable angle θ, the maximum value of the inclination angle of the component 2 when the amount of positional deviation ΔD of the component 2 calculated by the positional deviation amount calculation unit 35 is equal to or less than the specified amount. The positional deviation amount calculation unit 35 calculates the allowable angle θ for each of the plurality of components 2 mounted on the substrate 1. The allowable angle acquisition unit 36 acquires the allowable angle θ for each of the plurality of components 2 mounted on the substrate 1. The allowable angle θ acquired by the allowable angle acquisition unit 36 is stored in the allowable angle storage unit 30.
[0066] <Mounting order> The mounting order determination unit 37 determines the mounting order of the component 2 with respect to the plurality of mounting areas 50 set on the surface of the substrate 1 so that the component 2 after being mounted on the substrate 1 has an allowable angle θ or less. The stage control unit 32 controls the stage 20 so that the plurality of mounting areas 50 are sequentially in a horizontal state according to the mounting order determined by the mounting order determination unit 37. The head control unit 33 controls the mounting head 24 so that the component 2 is sequentially mounted on the horizontal mounting area 50 according to the mounting order determined by the mounting order determination unit 37.
[0067] Each of FIGS. 16 and 17 is a diagram for explaining the mounting order of the component 2 according to the embodiment. In the examples shown in FIGS. 16 and 17, the allowable angle θa of the component 2A is smaller than the allowable angle θb of the component 2B. FIG. 16 shows an example in which the component 2B is mounted on the mounting area 50B after the component 2A is mounted on the mounting area 50A. FIG. 17 shows an example in which the component 2A is mounted on the mounting area 50A after the component 2B is mounted on the mounting area 50B.
[0068] As shown in FIG. 16(A), when mounting 2A on the mounting area 50A, the stage control unit 32 controls the stage 20 so that the mounting area 50A is in a horizontal state. As shown in FIG. 16(B), when mounting the component 2B on the mounting area 50B after the component 2A is mounted on the mounting area 50A, the stage control unit 32 controls the stage 20 so that the mounting area 50B is in a horizontal state. Since the allowable angle θa of the component 2A is small, when the mounting area 50A is inclined with respect to the horizontal plane, the component 2A is likely to be displaced due to the action of gravity.
[0069] As shown in FIG. 17(A), when mounting the component 2B on the mounting area 50B, the stage control unit 32 controls the stage 20 so that the mounting area 50B is in a horizontal state. As shown in FIG. 17(B), after the component 2B is mounted on the mounting area 50B, when mounting the component 2A on the mounting area 50A, the stage control unit 32 controls the stage 20 so that the mounting area 50A is in a horizontal state. Since the allowable angle θb of the component 2B is large, even if the mounting area 50B is inclined with respect to the horizontal plane, the possibility of the component 2B being displaced is low.
[0070] As shown in FIG. 17, after mounting the component 2B with a large allowable angle θb and then mounting the component 2A with a small allowable angle θa, displacement of each of the component 2A and the component 2B is suppressed. The mounting order determination unit 37 determines the mounting order of the component 2 for each of the plurality of mounting areas 50 so that the component 2 with a small allowable angle θ is mounted after the component 2 with a large allowable angle θ. The mounting order determined by the mounting order determination unit 37 is stored in the mounting order storage unit 40.
[0071] The mounting order of the component 2 determined by the mounting order determination unit 37 is stored in the mounting order storage unit 40, and by mounting the components in that order, displacement is suppressed.
[0072] <Corresponding to components with displacement not eliminated> Due to the weight of the component 2, the size of the component 2, the shape of the substrate 1, etc., even if the mounting order is adjusted, there may be a component 2 that does not become less than the allowable angle θ in the mounting of the component 2. That is, even if the mounting order is adjusted, there may be a component 2 whose displacement is not eliminated.
[0073] In the following description, a component 2 whose displacement is eliminated by adjusting the mounting order is appropriately referred to as an allowable component, and a component 2 whose displacement is not eliminated even if the mounting order is adjusted is appropriately referred to as a non-allowable component.
[0074] Each of FIGS. 18 and 19 is a diagram for explaining component 2 in which misalignment is not eliminated according to the embodiment. In the examples shown in FIGS. 18 and 19, the mounting area 50 set on the surface of the substrate 1 includes a mounting area 50D, a mounting area 50E, and a mounting area 50F. Solder paste 60 is applied to each of the plurality of mounting areas 50. Component 2 includes a component 2D mounted in the mounting area 50D, a component 2E mounted in the mounting area 50E, and a component 2F mounted in the mounting area 50F. The allowable angle θf of component 2F is large. The allowable angles θd of component 2D and θe of component 2E are small. Component 2F is an allowable component. Each of component 2D and component 2E is a non-allowable component. FIG. 18 shows an example in which after component 2D is mounted in the mounting area 50D, component 2E is mounted in the mounting area 50E. FIG. 19 shows an example in which after component 2E is mounted in the mounting area 50E, component 2D is mounted in the mounting area 50D. Component 2F is already mounted in the mounting area 50F.
[0075] As shown in FIG. 18(A), when mounting component 2D in the mounting area 50D, the stage control unit 32 controls the stage 20 so that the mounting area 50D is in a horizontal state. As shown in FIG. 18(B), after component 2D is mounted in the mounting area 50D, when mounting component 2E in the mounting area 50E, the stage control unit 32 controls the stage 20 so that the mounting area 50E is in a horizontal state. Since the allowable angle θd of component 2D is small, when the mounting area 50D is inclined with respect to the horizontal plane, component 2D is likely to be misaligned due to the action of gravity.
[0076] As shown in FIG. 19(A), when mounting component 2E in the mounting area 50E, the stage control unit 32 controls the stage 20 so that the mounting area 50E is in a horizontal state. As shown in FIG. 19(B), after component 2E is mounted in the mounting area 50E, when mounting component 2D in the mounting area 50D, the stage control unit 32 controls the stage 20 so that the mounting area 50D is in a horizontal state. Since the allowable angle θe of component 2E is small, when the mounting area 50E is inclined with respect to the horizontal plane, component 2E is likely to be misaligned due to the action of gravity.
[0077] That is, when component 2E is mounted on mounting area 50E after component 2D is mounted on mounting area 50D, component 2D does not fall below the allowable angle θd during the mounting of component 2E, and component 2D is displaced. Even when the mounting order is reversed and component 2D is mounted on mounting area 50D after component 2E is mounted on mounting area 50E, there may be a situation where component 2E does not fall below the allowable angle θe during the mounting of component 2D.
[0078] When the situations shown in FIGS. 18 and 19 occur, that is, after component 2D is mounted on mounting area 50D, component 2D does not fall below the allowable angle θd during the mounting of component 2E, and there are cases where component 2E does not fall below the allowable angle θe during the mounting of component 2D after the mounting order is reversed and component 2E is mounted on mounting area 50E. In that case, the laser control unit 34 irradiates the cream solder 60 in mounting area 50D with laser light after component 2D is mounted and before the substrate 1 is tilted, and fixes component 2D by soldering before the tilt associated with the mounting of component 2E. When the mounting order is opposite, the laser head 12 is controlled so that the cream solder 60 in mounting area 50E is irradiated with laser light after component 2E is mounted and before the substrate 1 is tilted.
[0079] Each of FIGS. 20 and 21 is a diagram for explaining the operation of the three-dimensional mounting apparatus 10 when there is a component 2 for which displacement is not eliminated according to the embodiment.
[0080] As shown in FIG. 20(A), when component 2D is mounted on mounting area 50D, the stage control unit 32 controls the stage 20 so that mounting area 50D is in a horizontal state. As shown in FIG. 20(B), after component 2D is mounted on mounting area 50D, the cream solder 60 in mounting area 50D is irradiated with laser light while the horizontal state of mounting area 50D is maintained. When the melted cream solder 60 by the laser light cools, component 2D is soldered to mounting area 50D.
[0081] As shown in FIG. 21(A), after the component 2D is soldered to the mounting area 50D, the component 2E is mounted on the mounting area 50E. When mounting the component 2E on the mounting area 50E, the stage control unit 32 controls the stage 20 so that the mounting area 50E becomes horizontal. When the mounting area 50E becomes horizontal, the mounting area 50D inclines with respect to the horizontal plane. Since the component 2D is soldered to the mounting area 50D, even if the inclination angle of the mounting area 50D exceeds the allowable angle θd, the displacement of the component 2D is suppressed. As shown in FIG. 21(B), after the component 2E is mounted on the mounting area 50E, the mounting area 50E is maintained in a horizontal state, and the laser light is irradiated onto the cream solder 60 in the mounting area 50E. When the melted cream solder 60 by the laser light cools, the component 2E is soldered to the mounting area 50E. Thereafter, the soldering of the allowable components by the laser light is sequentially performed.
[0082] <Method for determining mounting order> FIG. 22 is a flowchart showing a method for determining the mounting order of the component 2 according to the embodiment. When determining the mounting order, the test substrate 1 and the test component 2 are used.
[0083] The stage control unit 32 controls the stage 20 so that the plurality of mounting areas 50 become horizontal sequentially. The dispenser control unit 31 controls the dispenser 11 so that the cream solder 60 is applied to each of the plurality of mounting areas 50 of the substrate 1 (step SA1).
[0084] The head control unit 33 controls the mounting head 24 so that the component 2 is mounted on the horizontal mounting area 50 (step SA2).
[0085] The displacement amount calculation unit 35 causes the camera 25 to image the component 2 in the mounting area 50 (step SA3).
[0086] The displacement amount calculation unit 35 calculates the respective displacement amounts ΔD of the component 2 based on the image data of the component 2 captured in step SA3 (step SA4). It is determined whether or not the displacement amount ΔD calculated by the displacement amount calculation unit 35 is less than or equal to a specified amount (step SA5).
[0087] In step SA5, when it is determined that the displacement amount ΔD is less than or equal to the specified amount (step SA5: Yes), the stage control unit 32 increases the tilt angle of the mounting area 50, and the imaging by the displacement amount calculation unit 35 and the calculation of the displacement amount ΔD are repeated (step SA6).
[0088] In step SA5, when it is determined that the displacement amount ΔD exceeds the specified amount (step SA5: No), the tilt angle before the displacement amount ΔD exceeds the specified amount is stored in the allowable angle storage unit 30 as the allowable angle θ of the tilt angle of the component 2 (step SA7).
[0089] This operation is performed for each component 2 mounted on the substrate 1. The allowable angle θ stored in the allowable angle storage unit 30 can also be applied to other substrates 1 for the same component 2.
[0090] The mounting order determination unit 37 determines the mounting order of the component 2 with respect to the plurality of mounting areas 50 based on the respective allowable angles θ of the plurality of components 2.
[0091] The mounting order determination unit 37 tentatively determines the mounting order based on the optimal mounting order in the case of a conventional flat substrate (step SA8).
[0092] Check whether each component 2 becomes an allowable component or a non-allowable component when mounted in accordance with the mounting order (step SA9).
[0093] The non-allowable components are moved to the back of the mounting order, and it is checked whether each component 2 becomes an allowable component or a non-allowable component (step SA10).
[0094] Repeat the rearrangement and check of the mounting order until the identification of acceptable parts and unacceptable parts no longer changes (step SA11).
[0095] Store the mounting order and the identification of acceptable parts and unacceptable parts in that order in the mounting order storage unit 40 (step SA12).
[0096] By doing so, the parts 2 with a small allowable angle θ, that is, the parts 2 that are likely to be displaced, are mounted later in the mounting order, and are less likely to receive the inclination of the substrate 1 when other parts 2 are mounted. Therefore, by increasing the acceptable parts and decreasing the unacceptable parts, continuous mounting operation becomes possible and the mounting tact can be shortened.
[0097] <Mounting method> FIG. 23 is a flowchart showing a method for mounting the parts 2 according to the embodiment.
[0098] The dispenser control unit 31 controls the dispenser 11 so that the cream solder 60 is applied to each of the plurality of mounting areas 50 of the substrate 1 (step SB1).
[0099] The stage control unit 32 controls the stage 20 so that the plurality of mounting areas 50 are sequentially in a horizontal state according to the mounting order stored in the mounting order storage unit 40. The head control unit 33 controls the mounting head 24 so that the parts 2 are sequentially mounted on the horizontal mounting area 50 according to the mounting order stored in the mounting order storage unit 40, and mounts the acceptable parts (step SB2).
[0100] The head control unit 33 determines whether there are any unacceptable parts (step SB3).
[0101] In step SB3, if it is determined that there are unacceptable parts (step SB3: Yes), the head control unit 33 mounts the unacceptable parts on the mounting area 50 (step SB4).
[0102] As described with reference to FIGS. 20 and 21, after the non-conforming parts are mounted on the mounting area 50, the laser control unit 34 controls the laser head 12 so that the laser light is irradiated onto the cream solder 60 of the non-conforming parts in a state where the horizontal state of the mounting area 50 is maintained (step SB5).
[0103] The head control unit 33 determines whether or not the mounting of all the non-conforming parts has been completed (step SB6).
[0104] In step SB6, if it is determined that the mounting of the non-conforming parts has not been completed (step SB6: No), the process returns to step SB4.
[0105] In step SB6, if it is determined that the mounting of the non-conforming parts has been completed (step SB6: Yes), the laser control unit 34 controls the laser head 12 so that the laser light is irradiated onto the cream solder 60 of the conforming parts (step SB7).
[0106] The laser control unit 34 controls the laser head 12 so that the laser light is sequentially irradiated onto the cream solder 60 of each of the plurality of conforming parts. Similarly, in step SB3, if it is determined that there are no non-conforming parts (step SB3: No), the laser control unit 34 controls the laser head 12 so that the laser light is irradiated onto the cream solder 60 of each of the plurality of conforming parts (step SB7).
[0107] The soldering order by the laser light at this time is set to be the opposite order to the component mounting, so that it is possible to prevent the conforming parts before soldering from being tilted more than the angle at the time of mounting.
[0108] <Effect> As described above, according to the embodiment, based on the allowable angle θ of the component 2, the mounting order of the component 2 is determined. Since the mounting order of the component 2 is determined so that the component 2 after mounting is equal to or less than the allowable angle θ, the displacement of the component 2 is suppressed.
[0109] The three-dimensional mounting apparatus 10 is designed such that an optimum tact time is achieved when continuously adsorbing and mounting components 2, thereby improving productivity. According to the present invention, by discriminating between acceptable components and unacceptable components, acceptable components can be continuously adsorbed and mounted in the conventional manner, and even in three-dimensional mounting where the substrate 1 is mounted while being tilted, a decrease in tact time can be minimized.
[0110] [Second Embodiment] The second embodiment will be described. In the following description, components that are the same as or equivalent to those in the above-described embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description of those components is simplified or omitted.
[0111] FIG. 24 is a side view schematically showing a three-dimensional mounting apparatus 110 according to the embodiment. In the embodiment, the three-dimensional mounting apparatus 110 includes an application head 13 for applying an adhesive 70 to the surface of the substrate 1, and an ultraviolet light head 14 for emitting ultraviolet light. In FIG. 24, the dispenser 11 is not shown. Note that the cream solder 60 may be applied to the substrate 1 by an application apparatus different from the three-dimensional mounting apparatus 110.
[0112] FIG. 25 is a functional block diagram showing the three-dimensional mounting apparatus 110 according to the embodiment. In the embodiment, the controller 16 has a fixed control unit 38 for controlling each of the application head 13 and the ultraviolet light head 14.
[0113] FIG. 26 is a diagram for explaining the operation of the application head 13 according to the embodiment. In the embodiment, the adhesive 70 is applied to the mounting area 50 where the unacceptable component is to be mounted. The unacceptable component and the mounting area 50 are fixed with the adhesive 70.
[0114] In the embodiment, the adhesive 70 is an ultraviolet light curable type. The fixed control unit 38 controls the ultraviolet light head 14 such that after the unacceptable component is mounted on the mounting area 50 via the adhesive 70 and the cream solder 60, the adhesive 70 applied to the mounting area 50 is irradiated with ultraviolet light.
[0115] Each of FIGS. 27 and 28 is a diagram for explaining the operation of the three-dimensional mounting device 110 when there is a component 2 where misalignment is not eliminated according to the embodiment.
[0116] After mounting the component 2D on the mounting area 50D and before mounting the component 2E, if the component 2D does not become equal to or less than the allowable angle θd, and after mounting the component 2E on the mounting area 50E and before mounting the component 2D, if the component 2E does not become equal to or less than the allowable angle θe, the fixing control unit 38 controls the application head 13 so that the component 2D and the mounting area 50D are fixed with the adhesive 70 after mounting the component 2D and before tilting the substrate 1, and the component 2E and the mounting area 50E are fixed with the adhesive 70 after mounting the component 2E and before tilting the substrate 1.
[0117] Before the non-conforming component 2D is mounted on the mounting area 50D, the cream solder 60 and the adhesive 70 are applied to the mounting area 50D. Before the non-conforming component 2E is mounted on the mounting area 50E, the cream solder 60 and the adhesive 70 are applied to the mounting area 50E.
[0118] As shown in FIG. 27(A), when mounting the component 2D on the mounting area 50D, the stage control unit 32 controls the stage 20 so that the mounting area 50D is in a horizontal state. The component 2D is mounted on the mounting area 50D via the adhesive 70 and the cream solder 60. As shown in FIG. 27(B), after the component 2D is mounted on the mounting area 50D via the adhesive 70 and the cream solder 60, ultraviolet light is irradiated onto the adhesive 70 of the mounting area 50D while maintaining the horizontal state of the mounting area 50D. By irradiating the adhesive 70 with ultraviolet light, the adhesive 70 hardens, and the component 2D and the mounting area 50D are fixed with the adhesive 70.
[0119] As shown in FIG. 28(A), after the component 2D and the mounting area 50D are fixed with the adhesive 70, the component 2E is mounted on the mounting area 50E. When mounting the component 2E on the mounting area 50E, the stage control unit 32 controls the stage 20 so that the mounting area 50E becomes horizontal. When the mounting area 50E becomes horizontal, the mounting area 50D is inclined with respect to the horizontal plane. Since the component 2D is fixed to the mounting area 50D with the adhesive 70, even if the inclination angle of the mounting area 50D exceeds the allowable angle θd, the displacement of the component 2D is suppressed. As shown in FIG. 28(B), after the component 2E is mounted on the mounting area 50E via the adhesive 70 and the cream solder 60, ultraviolet light is irradiated onto the adhesive 70 of the mounting area 50E while the horizontal state of the mounting area 50E is maintained. By irradiating the adhesive 70 with ultraviolet light, the adhesive 70 is cured, and the component 2E and the mounting area 50E are fixed with the adhesive 70.
[0120] Curing of the adhesive by ultraviolet light does not need to be immediately after the component 2 is mounted, and there is no problem as long as the component 2 is not tilted by more than the allowable angle θ before that. Therefore, as long as this condition is met, adjacent non-allowable components can be cured simultaneously, and the tact time can be shortened accordingly.
[0121] FIG. 29 is a flowchart showing a method for mounting the component 2 according to the embodiment.
[0122] The dispenser control unit 31 controls the dispenser 11 so that the cream solder 60 is applied to each of the plurality of mounting areas 50 of the substrate 1 (step SC1).
[0123] The stage control unit 32 controls the stage 20 so that the plurality of mounting areas 50 sequentially become horizontal according to the mounting order stored in the mounting order storage unit 40. The head control unit 33 controls the mounting head 24 so that the components 2 are sequentially mounted on the horizontal mounting areas 50 according to the mounting order stored in the mounting order storage unit 40 (step SC2).
[0124] The head control unit 33 determines whether there is a non-permissible component (step SC3).
[0125] In step SC3, if it is determined that there is a non-permissible component (step SC3: Yes), the fixing control unit 38 applies the adhesive 70 to the mounting area 50 where the non-permissible component is to be mounted (step SC4).
[0126] The head control unit 33 mounts the non-permissible component in the mounting area 50 (step SC5).
[0127] As described with reference to FIGS. 27 and 28, after the non-permissible component is mounted in the mounting area 50, the fixing control unit 38 controls the ultraviolet light head 14 so that the ultraviolet light is irradiated onto the adhesive 70 of the non-permissible component within a range where the inclination angle of the mounting area 50 does not exceed the allowable angle θ.
[0128] The head control unit 33 determines whether the mounting of all non-permissible components has been completed (step SC6).
[0129] In step SC6, if it is determined that the mounting of the non-permissible component has not been completed (step SC6: No), the process returns to step SC4.
[0130] In step SC6, if it is determined that the mounting of the non-permissible component has been completed (step SC6: Yes), the laser control unit 34 controls the laser head 12 so that the laser light is irradiated onto the cream solder 60 of all components 2 including the permissible components and the non-permissible components (step SC7). Similarly, in step SC3, if it is determined that there is no non-permissible component (step SC3: No), the laser control unit 34 controls the laser head 12 so that the laser light is irradiated onto the cream solder 60 of all permissible components (step SC7).
[0131] By setting the irradiation order of the laser light to be the reverse of the mounting order, it is possible to prevent the permissible components before soldering from being tilted by more than the reference angle.
[0132] Note that in step SC7, the substrate 1 on which a plurality of components 2 are mounted may be carried into the reflow furnace without tilting it, without using the laser head 12. In that case, soldering by laser light becomes unnecessary, and productivity is greatly improved by batch soldering.
[0133] As described above, also in the embodiment, the displacement of the component 2 is suppressed while minimizing the decrease in productivity due to three-dimensional mounting. In the embodiment, even if there are non-conforming components, the displacement of the non-conforming components is suppressed by the adhesive 70.
[0134] [Other Embodiments] FIG. 30 is a diagram schematically showing the allowable angle storage unit 30 according to the embodiment. In the above-described embodiment, the allowable angle θ is calculated based on the image data of the component 2 captured by the camera 25. The allowable angle θ of the component 2 may be measured by a measuring device different from the three-dimensional mounting device 10. In that case, correlation data (allowable angle table) between the component 2 and the allowable angle θ as shown in FIG. 30 may be directly stored in the allowable angle storage unit 30 from external measurement data without passing through the allowable angle acquisition unit 36.
[0135] FIG. 31 is a diagram schematically showing the controller 16 according to the embodiment. As shown in FIG. 31, the controller 16 may have an allowable angle calculation unit 39 that calculates the allowable angle θ of the component 2 based on the weight of the component 2. The allowable angle acquisition unit 36 may acquire the allowable angle θ from the allowable angle calculation unit 39. The weight of the component 2 and the allowable angle θ are correlated. The larger the weight of the component 2, the smaller the allowable angle θ. Note that the allowable angle calculation unit 39 may calculate the allowable angle θ in consideration of not only the weight of the component 2 but also the volume of the component 2 and the physical properties of the cream solder 60. By considering not only the weight of the component 2 but also the volume of the component 2 and the physical properties of the cream solder 60, the calculation accuracy of the allowable angle θ is improved.
