[0014] (Background to this disclosure) Conventionally, component mounters are known that remove components from tape and mount them on a circuit board. When a component mounter uses a suction nozzle to remove a component from the tape, it can sometimes fail to pick up the component. Component pickup failures are likely to occur when the packaging quality of the tape that contains the component is low. The packaging quality of the tape is determined by factors such as the shape, dimensions, material, and physical properties of the tape.

[0015] For example, if a burr is formed on a pocket that holds a component, the component may get caught on the burr, resulting in a component pickup error. Furthermore, if there is variation in the peeling force when peeling off the cover film that covers the pocket, the component may fly out of the pocket when the cover film is peeled off, resulting in a component pickup error. Therefore, in order to prevent component pickup errors, it is necessary to properly maintain the quality of the tape packaging. On the other hand, if the frequency of component pickup errors is within an expected range, it can be determined that the tape packaging quality is being properly maintained. Therefore, it is important to properly understand the frequency of component pickup errors when managing the tape packaging quality.

[0016] In actual production sites, when replacing a tape in use with a new one, a splicing operation is performed to connect the end of the current tape to the beginning of the new tape, but component pickup errors can also occur depending on the quality of this splicing operation. Therefore, for example, if the frequency of pickup errors is derived including data from immediately after a tape replacement, it may not be possible to determine whether the increase in pickup errors is due to the packaging quality of the new tape or the splicing operation, and it may not be possible to take appropriate measures to reduce pickup errors.

[0017] In response to this, the mounter and the like of the present disclosure have the following configuration in order to appropriately derive the frequency of pickup errors.

[0018] Hereinafter, the embodiments will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. Note that the embodiments described below are all comprehensive or specific examples. The numerical values, shapes, materials, components, component placement and connection forms, steps, step order, etc. shown in the following embodiments are merely examples and are not intended to limit the present disclosure. Furthermore, among the components in the following embodiments, components that are not described in the independent claims that represent the highest concept will be described as optional components.

[0019] In addition, each drawing is a schematic diagram and is not necessarily an exact illustration. In addition, the same components are denoted by the same reference numerals in each drawing.

[0020] (Embodiment 1) [Component mounter configuration] The configuration of the component mounter according to the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS.

[0021] 1 is a schematic diagram of a management system 1 including a component mounter 10 and a management device 50 according to the first embodiment. FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing the functional configuration of the component mounter 10.

[0022] In addition to the component mounter 10, FIG. 1 also shows a printing device 6 that prints solder on the board 3, and an inspection device 7 that inspects the board 3 on which the components 2 are mounted.

[0023] 1 and 2, the management system 1 includes a plurality of component mounters 10 and a management device 50. The plurality of component mounters 10 and the management device 50 are installed, for example, within the premises of a factory, which is a production site, and are capable of communicating with each other via a communication network 9.

[0024] The management device 50 is a device that performs production management of component-mounted boards. In the first embodiment, the configuration of the component mounter 10 will be mainly described.

[0025] 2, the mounter 10 includes a control unit 15 including an information acquisition unit 11 and an information processing unit 12, a storage unit 16, an input unit 17, a display unit 18, and a communication unit 19. The communication unit 19 is a communication module and is capable of communicating with the management device 50 via the communication network 9.

[0026] The component mounter 10 also includes a board transport unit 20 that transports the board 3 and positions it at a predetermined position, a component mounting unit 40 that mounts components on the board 3, and a component supply unit 30 that supplies components 2 to the component mounting unit 40.

[0027] 3 is a side view of the component mounter 10. In FIG. 3, a state in which a tape feeder 31 is attached to the component mounter 10 is shown.

[0028] The component mounter 10 is a device that picks up components 2 accommodated on a tape 32 using a suction nozzle 43 and mounts the components 2 on a board 3. The component supply unit 30 includes a tape feeder 31 that transports the tape 32 on which the components 2 are accommodated.

[0029] The tape 32 is a strip-shaped carrier tape. The tape 32 is provided with a plurality of pockets 33 (see FIG. 6(a)) for accommodating a plurality of components 2. The pockets 33 have a concave shape that is recessed from the upper surface of the tape 32 to the lower surface. The pockets 33 are formed, for example, by embossing a resin sheet or by punching cardboard in the thickness direction and attaching a bottom tape to the lower surface of the cardboard. A transparent cover film (or top tape) is attached to the outer peripheral region above the pockets 33 in which the components are accommodated, so as to cover the pockets 33.

[0030] An ID (identification) is attached to the tape 32 to individually identify the tape 32. The ID is determined in accordance with the product number of the tape 32 and the product number of the component 2 housed on the tape 32. The ID may be RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) or a two-dimensional barcode. Information regarding the ID of the tape 32 is input by an input unit 17 such as an ID reader and a keyboard, and stored in the memory unit 16. The ID is provided on a reel 34 around which the tape 32 is wound, and the reel 34 is set in the tape feeder 31.

[0031] 3 is a component supplying device that supplies components 2. Tape feeder 31 pulls out tape 32 from reel 34 and transports multiple components 2 accommodated on tape 32 together with tape 32, thereby supplying components 2 to component mounting unit 40. For example, tape feeder 31 feeds tape 32 at a pitch and peels off a cover film from the main body of tape 32 to open the top of pocket 33, making it possible to remove components 2 from pocket 33.

[0032] Various tape feeders 31 are attached to the component mounter 10 according to the type of components 2. The tape feeders 31 are detachable from the component mounter 10. The tape feeders 31 are attached to and detached from the component mounter 10 by an operator, but are not limited to this and may be attached and detached by a transport robot (not shown).

[0033] An ID is assigned to each tape feeder 31 to individually identify the tape feeder 31. The ID is determined in accordance with the product number of the tape feeder 31. The ID may be an RFID or a two-dimensional barcode. Information relating to the ID and product number of the tape feeder 31 is input by the input unit 17 and stored in the storage unit 16 in a state linked to the ID of the tape 32 described above.

[0034] The component mounting unit 40 includes a two-axis table 41, a mounting head 42, and a suction nozzle 43. The two-axis table 41 is a movement mechanism that moves the mounting head 42 horizontally. The mounting head 42 is a movement mechanism that moves the suction nozzle 43 vertically. The suction nozzle 43 is provided on the mounting head 42. The suction nozzle 43 can be moved up and down and in a rotational direction by a drive motor provided on the mounting head 42. The suction nozzle 43 also sucks and holds the component 2 when a vacuum valve provided on the mounting head 42 turns on suction, and releases the component 2 when suction is released. The component mounting unit 40 removes the component 2 supplied by the tape feeder 31 from the tape 32 and mounts the removed component 2 on the board 3.

[0035] The mounting head 42 has a sensor 45 that detects pressure or flow rate. The mounter 10 uses the sensor 45 to detect the pressure (vacuum pressure in this example) or flow rate of the air flowing through the suction nozzle 43, and determines whether the suction nozzle 43 has successfully picked up the component 2. For example, after the suction nozzle 43 performs a removal operation (pickup operation) of the component 2, the mounter 10 determines that the suction nozzle 43 has not successfully picked up the component 2 if the vacuum pressure is lower than a predetermined vacuum pressure (close to atmospheric pressure) or the flow rate is higher than a predetermined flow rate. The mounter 10 determines that the suction nozzle 43 has successfully picked up the component 2 if the vacuum pressure is equal to or higher than the predetermined vacuum pressure or the flow rate is equal to or lower than the predetermined flow rate.

[0036] The mounter 10 may use a camera 46 attached to the placement head 42 to detect the presence or absence of the component 2 and determine whether the suction nozzle 43 has successfully picked up the component 2. For example, the mounter 10 may use the camera 46 to capture an image of the pocket 33 after the cover film has been peeled off before the suction nozzle 43 picks up the component 2, and determine that the suction nozzle 43 cannot pick up the component 2 if the pocket 33 does not contain the component 2. The mounter 10 may use the camera 46 to capture an image of the pocket 33 of the tape 32 after the suction nozzle 43 has performed the removal operation, and determine that the suction nozzle 43 has not been able to pick up the component 2 if the component 2 remains in the pocket 33.

[0037] In addition, the component mounter 10 may determine whether the suction nozzle 43 is able to pick up the component 2 by taking an image of the suction nozzle 43 from below using a camera 47 arranged between the component supply unit 30 and the board transport unit 20.

[0038] The sensing information detected by the sensor 45 and the cameras 46 and 47 is output to the control unit 15 of the component mounter 10.

[0039] The control unit 15 shown in FIG. 2 is a calculation device having a CPU function, and controls the board transport unit 20, the component supply unit 30, the component mounting unit 40, etc. based on the programs and data stored in the storage unit 16.

[0040] The memory unit 16 stores information relating to the ID and product number of the tape 32 and the ID and product number of the tape feeder 31. The ID and product number of the tape 32 and information that affects the packaging quality of the tape 32 are registered in advance in the management device 50, and can be linked to the ID and product number of the tape 32 and the ID or product number of the tape feeder 31 stored in the memory unit 16. Note that the memory unit 16 may also store traceability information that corresponds to the ID of the tape 32. The traceability information may include information that affects the packaging quality of the tape 32, such as the manufacturer of the tape 32, the manufacturing date, the manufacturing equipment, and the materials used.

[0041] The information acquiring unit 11 acquires the following performance information i1 and event information i2 as information necessary to appropriately derive the frequency of component 2 pickup errors.

[0042] For example, the information acquiring unit 11 acquires performance information i1 relating to removal of the component 2 from the tape 32 by the suction nozzle 43.

[0043] FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of the performance information i1 acquired by the information acquisition unit 11 of the component mounter 10. As shown in FIG.

[0044] The performance information i1 includes information on whether the suction nozzle 43 successfully picked up the component 2 and the time when the component 2 was removed. FIG. 4 shows the cumulative number of removal attempts and the number of pickup failures as examples of whether the suction was successful. FIG. 4 also shows how the performance information i1 is updated over time. The time when the component 2 was removed is, for example, the time when the control unit 15 output a pickup instruction signal to the component mounting unit 40 to pick up the component 2. The performance information i1 also includes information on the ID of the component 2, the ID of the tape 32, and the ID of the tape feeder 31.

[0045] The information acquiring unit 11 acquires information regarding whether the component 2 has been successfully picked up based on the sensing information output from the sensor 45 and the cameras 46 and 47. For example, after the component 2 has been picked up by the suction nozzle 43, the information acquiring unit 11 acquires information indicating that the suction was unsuccessful if the vacuum pressure is lower than a predetermined vacuum pressure or if the flow rate is higher than a predetermined flow rate. The information acquiring unit 11 also acquires information indicating that the suction was successful if the vacuum pressure is equal to or higher than the predetermined vacuum pressure or if the flow rate is equal to or lower than the predetermined flow rate.

[0046] The information acquiring unit 11 may acquire information that the suction was unsuccessful when there is no component 2 in the pocket 33 after the cover film has been peeled off. The information acquiring unit 11 may also acquire information that the suction was unsuccessful when there is a component 2 remaining in the pocket 33 after the removal operation has been performed by the suction nozzle 43. The information acquiring unit 11 may also acquire information that the suction was unsuccessful when there is no component 2 below the suction nozzle 43 as it is moving from above the component supply unit 30 toward above the board 3, or may acquire information that the suction was successful when there is a component 2 below the suction nozzle 43.

[0047] The information acquiring unit 11 acquires information relating to the success or failure of suction of the component 2 by performing arithmetic processing on the sensing information output from the sensor 45 and the cameras 46 and 47. Note that the information acquiring unit 11 may acquire the performance information i1 based on the sensing information from the sensor 45 and the cameras 46 and 47 by receiving the performance information i1 from a device other than the information acquiring unit 11.

[0048] Furthermore, the information acquisition unit 11 acquires event information i2 related to a specific event Ea that has occurred in the mounter 10. The event information i2 is information input to the mounter 10 from the input unit 17 and the management device 50. The event information i2 includes information related to the content of the event and the time when the event occurred. The event information i2 includes the specific event Ea and another event Eb that is different from the specific event Ea.

[0049] Fig. 5 is a diagram showing an example of event information i2 acquired by the information acquisition unit 11 of the mounter 10. Fig. 5 shows the time when an event occurred and the content of the event. Fig. 5 also shows event attributes that indicate whether the event that occurred in the mounter 10 belongs to a specific event Ea or another event Eb.

[0050] The other events Eb are events that affect pickup errors of the component 2, but are events unrelated to the packaging quality of the tape 32. For example, the other events Eb are a change in the size of the component 2, a change in the illumination lamp value when the component 2 is imaged by the camera 46, a change in the pickup height of the component 2, and a change in the lifting speed and pickup hold time of the pickup nozzle 43.

[0051] The specific event Ea is an event that affects the pickup error of the component 2, and is an event that makes it difficult to distinguish whether the pickup error is caused by a deterioration in the packaging quality of the tape 32 or by the specific event Ea. For example, the specific event Ea is the replacement of the tape 32 and the removal and attachment of the tape feeder 31.

[0052] Replacing the tape 32 is the process of replacing the tape 32 currently in use with a new tape 32. When replacing the tape 32, a splicing operation is performed to connect the end of the tape 32 currently in use to the beginning of the new tape 32. If the splicing operation is performed appropriately, pickup errors are unlikely to occur, but if the splicing operation is performed improperly, pickup errors of the component 2 will increase.

[0053] The attachment and detachment of the tape feeder 31 refers to the attachment and detachment of the tape feeder 31 to and from the component mounter 10. The attachment and detachment of the tape feeder 31 is performed so that an operator can visually check if the operation of the tape feeder 31 is abnormal, for example, if the feeding operation of the tape feeder 31 is abnormal, or if the film peeling operation of the tape feeder 31 is abnormal. If the attachment and detachment of the tape feeder 31 is appropriate, pickup errors are unlikely to occur, but if the attachment and detachment of the tape feeder 31 is inappropriate, the position of the component 2 may shift or the component 2 may fall, resulting in an increased number of pickup errors.

[0054] As described above, with regard to the specific event Ea, it is difficult to distinguish whether the pickup error of the component 2 that occurred in the component mounter 10 was caused by the packaging quality of the tape 32 or whether it was triggered by the specific event Ea.

[0055] The mounter 10 of this embodiment derives pickup error information i3 (see FIG. 7) related to pickup errors of the component 2, with the influence of the specific event Ea removed. The pickup error information i3 includes at least one piece of information on the number of pickup errors of the component 2 and the pickup error rate of the component 2. The pickup error information i3 may also include information on the number of successful pickups without pickup errors and the pickup success rate.

[0056] The information processing unit 12 of the component mounter 10 derives pickup failure information i3 based on the performance information i1 excluding data for a predetermined period after the end of a specific event Ea.

[0057] Figure 6 is a diagram showing an example of data for a predetermined period s1 after a specific event Ea has ended. Figure 6(b) shows the tape 32 unwound from the reel 34, and Figure 6(a) shows a top view of a portion of (b). Figure 6(a) shows the state after component 2 has been removed from pocket 33, with the broken line indicating the storage position of component 2 before removal.

[0058] "After the specific event Ea is completed" means after the specific event Ea occurs in the mounter 10 and the execution of that event is completed. The predetermined period s1 is specifically expressed by time, distance, or number.

[0059] FIG. 6 shows examples of the predetermined interval s1, including a predetermined time, a predetermined tape length, and a predetermined number of components. The predetermined time is based on the time when the component 2 removal operation is resumed after the specific event Ea has ended, and is appropriately selected, for example, from a range of 10 to 20 seconds. The predetermined tape length is the length in the direction toward the end of the tape 32 relative to the initial position of the tape 32 when the component 2 removal operation is resumed, and is appropriately selected, for example, from a range of 20 to 40 cm. The predetermined number of components is the number of components located toward the end of the tape 32 relative to the initial position of the component 2 when the component 2 removal operation is resumed, and is appropriately selected, for example, from a range of 40 to 80.

[0060] The number of components in the above description is essentially the same even if it is replaced with the number of pockets on tape 32 or the number of take-out operations of suction nozzle 43. The predetermined period s1 may be a predetermined number of pockets extending toward the end of the tape 32 from the first pocket 33 when the take-out operation of components 2 is resumed, or a predetermined number of take-out operations from the first operation when the take-out operation of components 2 is resumed, or it may be the time during which a sprocket that is built into tape feeder 31 that is actually performing the take-out operation of components 2 and that feeds tape 32 is rotating.

[0061] For example, if the specific event Ea is the replacement of the tape 32 when replacing the tape 32 currently in use with a new tape 32, the predetermined period s1 is any one of a predetermined number of components, a predetermined tape length, and a predetermined time after the replacement of the tape 32. If the specific event Ea is the removal or attachment of the tape feeder 31 to the component mounter 10, the predetermined period s1 is any one of a predetermined number of components, a predetermined tape length, and a predetermined time after the removal or attachment of the tape feeder 31.

[0062] In this way, the information processing unit 12 derives the pickup error information i3 without using data for the predetermined period s1 immediately after the occurrence of the specific event Ea. For example, the information processing unit 12 removes data for the predetermined period s1 from all performance information i1, including data at the start of the component 2 pick-up operation, and then derives the pickup error information i3 based on the remaining performance information i1 after removing the data. Alternatively, the information processing unit 12 does not collect data for the predetermined period s1, and derives the pickup error information i3 based on performance information i1 that does not include data for the predetermined period s1, i.e., performance information i1 excluding data for the predetermined period s1. Note that the information processing unit 12 continues to derive the pickup error information i3 with respect to the event Eb, regardless of whether the event Eb occurs or not.

[0063] Furthermore, the information processing unit 12 derives suction error information i3 for each ID of the tape 32, specifically for each reel that is a wound body of the tape 32. By deriving the suction error information i3 for each ID of the tape 32, it becomes possible to clarify the relationship between suction errors of the components 2 and the packaging quality of the tape 32.

[0064] FIG. 7 is a diagram showing the ID of the tape 32, the pickup failure information i3, and the like displayed on the display unit 18 of the component mounter 10. As shown in FIG.

[0065] 7 shows the ID of component 2, the ID of tape 32, the ID of tape feeder 31, and pickup error information i3. The figure also shows mounting error information including the number of recognition errors. A recognition error is an error related to the holding position and posture of component 2 picked up by pickup nozzle 43, and is different information from a pickup error.

[0066] Display unit 18 is, for example, a display, and displays the ID of tape 32 in association with pickup error information i3. In the figure, as an example of pickup error information i3, the number of pickup errors for component 2 and the pickup error rate for component 2 are shown. The pickup error rate is a value calculated using the number of pick-up operations for component 2 as the denominator and the number of pickup errors as the numerator, and is an index representing the packaging quality of tape 32.

[0067] Furthermore, the display unit 18 displays the pickup error information i3 derived by the information processing unit 12 in chronological order.

[0068] Fig. 8 is a diagram showing an example of a pickup error rate displayed in chronological order, and Fig. 9 is a diagram showing another example of a pickup error rate displayed in chronological order.

[0069] 8 and 9 are data derived based on performance information i1 excluding data for a predetermined period s1 after a specific event Ea occurs. Therefore, these data reflect the pure packaging quality of the tape 32, excluding external disturbances.

[0070] FIG. 8 shows how the pickup error rate changes over time. FIG. 9 shows the pickup error rate averaged for each tape 32, as shown in FIG. 8. Also, in FIGS. 8 and 9, the average pickup error rate for multiple tapes 32 is shown by a dashed line. The average pickup error rate for multiple tapes may be an average of all the past pickup error rates for the same type of tape 32, or it may be a moving average. For example, if the pickup error rate for a specific tape 32 is higher than the average pickup error rate for multiple tapes 32, the packaging quality of the specific tape 32 is estimated to be low.

[0071] By displaying the pickup error rate in chronological order in this way, it is possible to accurately recognize changes in the pickup error rate of component 2. Note that although the horizontal axis of the graph in these figures represents time, this is not limiting; for example, if the horizontal axis of the graph is taken out and displayed as the number of operations, it will be essentially the same as when displayed in chronological order.

[0072] 8 and 9 also show the timing of replacing the tape 32, which is an example of the specific event Ea. In this way, the display unit 18 displays the pickup error information i3 and the event information i2 in chronological order, making it possible to recognize the relationship between the pickup error of the component 2 and the specific event Ea.

[0073] The component mounter 10 of this embodiment includes an information acquisition unit 11 that acquires performance information i1 related to the removal performance when the component 2 is removed from the tape 32 by the suction nozzle 43 and event information i2 including a specific event Ea that occurred in the component mounter 10, an information processing unit 12 that derives pickup error information i3 related to pickup errors of the component 2 based on the performance information i1 excluding data for a predetermined period s1 after the specific event Ea ends, and a display unit 18 that displays the pickup error information i3 in chronological order.

[0074] As described above, by deriving pickup error information i3 based on performance information i1 excluding data for a predetermined period s1 after the end of specific event Ea, it is possible to appropriately derive the frequency of pickup errors for component 2. Furthermore, by appropriately deriving the frequency of pickup errors for component 2, it is possible to recognize the packaging quality of tape 32 related to pickup errors.

[0075] [Information processing methods, etc.] The information processing method and the like according to the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

[0076] FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing an information processing method according to the first embodiment.

[0077] As shown in FIG. 10, the control unit 15 acquires the performance information i1 and the event information i2 (step S11).

[0078] The performance information i1 is information about the removal performance when the component 2 accommodated on the tape 32 is removed by the suction nozzle 43. The performance information i1 includes information about whether the suction nozzle 43 was successful in picking up the component 2 and the time when the removal operation of the component 2 was performed. The control unit 15 acquires the performance information i1 based on the sensing information output from the sensor 45 and the cameras 46 and 47.

[0079] The event information i2 is information that includes a specific event Ea that occurred in the mounter 10. The event information i2 includes information about the content of the event and the time when the event occurred. The control unit 15 acquires the event information i2 from the input unit 17 of the mounter 10 or the management device 50. The control unit 15 stores the performance information i1 and event information i2 in the memory unit 16.

[0080] Next, the control unit 15 derives pickup error information i3 related to pickup errors of the component 2 based on the performance information i1 excluding data for a predetermined period s1 after the specific event Ea is completed (step S12). The pickup error information i3 includes at least one piece of information regarding the number of pickup errors of the component 2 and the pickup error rate of the component 2.

[0081] For example, if the specific event Ea is a change of the tape 32 when replacing the tape 32 currently in use with a new tape 32, the above-mentioned predetermined period s1 is any one of a predetermined time after the tape 32 is changed, a predetermined tape length, and a predetermined number of components. Also, if the specific event Ea is a removal or attachment of the tape feeder 31 to the mounter 10, the above-mentioned predetermined period s1 is any one of a predetermined time after the removal or attachment of the tape feeder 31, a predetermined tape length, and a predetermined number of components. The control unit 15 derives the pickup error information i3 for each ID of the tape 32.

[0082] Next, the control unit 15 causes the display unit 18 to display the suction error information i3 in chronological order (step S13). The display unit 18 displays the suction error information i3 in association with the ID of the tape 32. The display unit 18 also displays the suction error information i3 and the event information i2 in association with each other in chronological order.

[0083] In this way, by deriving pickup error information i3 based on performance information i1 excluding data for a predetermined period s1 after the end of a specific event Ea, the frequency of pickup errors for component 2 can be appropriately derived.

[0084] Next, an example of a method for calculating the pickup error rate will be described.

[0085] FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing an example of a method for calculating the pickup error rate.

[0086] 11, the control unit 15 acquires the event information i2 from the input unit 17 of the component mounter 10 or the management device 50 (step S21).

[0087] Next, the control unit 15 determines whether the most recent event included in the event information i2 is a specific event Ea (step S22). Specifically, the control unit 15 determines whether the most recent event is a specific event Ea or an event Eb different from the event Ea.

[0088] If the most recent event is not the specific event Ea (No in S22), the control unit 15 proceeds to the next step S24. For example, if the most recent event included in the event information i2 is event Eb, the control unit 15 proceeds to step S24.

[0089] On the other hand, if the most recent event is the specific event Ea (Yes in S22), the control unit 15 determines whether the removal operation for a predetermined period s1 has been completed since the specific event Ea ended (step S23). The predetermined period s1 is any one of a predetermined time, a predetermined tape length, and a predetermined number of components.

[0090] If the removal operation for the predetermined period s1 has not been completed (No in S23), the control unit 15 proceeds to step S30 and executes the process of step S30. If the removal operation for the predetermined period s1 has been completed (Yes in S23), the control unit 15 proceeds to step S24, which is the original processing flow.

[0091] In step S24, control unit 15 updates the number of times the component 2 has been taken out, and stores information including the number of times the component 2 has been taken out in storage unit 16 (step S24). Then, control unit 15 displays the number of times the component 2 has been taken out in display unit 18 (step S25).

[0092] Next, the control unit 15 determines whether or not there has been a pickup error of the component 2 (step S26). The control unit 15 determines whether or not there has been a pickup error based on the sensing information detected by the sensor 45 and the cameras 46 and 47.

[0093] If there is no pickup error (No in S26), the control unit 15 causes the display unit 18 to display the current number of pickup errors (step S27), and the process proceeds to step S30. On the other hand, if there is a pickup error (Yes in S26), the control unit 15 updates the number of pickup errors for the component 2, and stores the updated number of pickup errors in the memory unit 16 (step S28). The control unit 15 also causes the display unit 18 to display the updated number of pickup errors (step S29).

[0094] Next, the control unit 15 determines whether or not a production end signal for ending production of component mounting boards has been received (step S30). If the production end signal has not been received (No in S30), the control unit 15 returns to step S21 and executes the processes from step S21 onwards. If the production end signal has been received (Yes in S30), the control unit 15 ends the process of this flow. In this way, by repeating the processes of steps S21 to S30, the frequency of pickup errors can be appropriately recognized.

[0095] In the above example, the number of pickup errors is updated when a pickup error occurs while the component 2 pick-up operation is repeated, but the present invention is not limited to this.

[0096] For example, the control unit 15 may acquire the ID of the tape 32 based on input information from the input unit 17 or information transmitted from the management device 50, and calculate the pickup error rate for each acquired ID of the tape 32. The control unit 15 stores the pickup error rate of the tape 32 currently in use in the memory unit 16, and then calculates the pickup error rate of the new tape 32. When calculating the pickup error rate of the new tape 32, the control unit 15 may reset the pickup error rate of the previous tape 32, and then calculate the pickup error rate of the new tape 32.

[0097] (Embodiment 2) [Configuration of management device and management system] The configurations of a management device 50A and a management system 1A according to the second embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 12. In the second embodiment, an example will be described in which an information acquisition unit 51 and an information processing unit 52 are provided in the management device 50A.

[0098] FIG. 12 is a block diagram showing a functional configuration of a management system 1A according to the second embodiment.

[0099] 12, the management system 1A includes a component mounter 10A and a management device 50A. The component mounter 10A and the management device 50A are installed, for example, within the premises of a factory, which is a production site, and are capable of communicating with each other via a communication network 9.

[0100] The component mounter 10A includes a control unit 15, a storage unit 16, an input unit 17, a display unit 18, and a communication unit 19. The component mounter 10A also includes a board transport unit 20, a component mounting unit 40, and a component supply unit 30. Note that the control unit 15 of the second embodiment does not include an information acquisition unit or an information processing unit.

[0101] The management device 50A includes a control unit 55 including an information acquisition unit 51 and an information processing unit 52, a storage unit 56, an input unit 57, a display unit 58, and a communication unit 59. The communication unit 59 is a communication module, and is capable of communicating with the component mounter 10A via the communication network 9.

[0102] The control unit 55 is a calculation device having a CPU function, and operates based on the programs and data stored in the storage unit 56 .

[0103] The storage unit 56 stores information relating to the ID and product number of the tape 32, and the ID and product number of the tape feeder 31. The storage unit 56 may also store traceability information corresponding to the ID of the tape 32. The traceability information may include information that affects the packaging quality of the tape 32, such as the manufacturer of the tape 32, the date of manufacture, the manufacturing equipment, and the materials used.

[0104] The information acquiring unit 51 acquires the following performance information i1 and event information i2 as information necessary to appropriately derive the frequency of component 2 pickup errors.

[0105] For example, the information acquiring unit 51 acquires performance information i1 related to the removal of the component 2 from the tape 32 by the suction nozzle 43. The performance information i1 includes information related to whether the suction nozzle 43 successfully picked up the component 2 and the time when the removal operation of the component 2 was performed. The time when the removal operation of the component 2 was performed is, for example, the time when the control unit 15 of the component mounter 10A output a suction instruction signal to the component mounting unit 40 to pick up the component 2. The performance information i1 also includes information related to the ID of the component 2, the ID of the tape 32, and the ID of the tape feeder 31. The information acquiring unit 51 acquires information related to the success or failure of the suction of the component 2 based on sensing information output from the component mounter 10A, which has the sensor 45 and the cameras 46 and 47.

[0106] Furthermore, the information acquisition unit 51 acquires event information i2 related to a specific event Ea that has occurred in the mounter 10A. The event information i2 is information that is input to the management device 50A from the mounter 10A and the input unit 57. The event information i2 includes information related to the content of the event and the time when the event occurred. The event information i2 includes the specific event Ea and other events Eb.

[0107] The management device 50A of this embodiment derives pickup error information i3 related to pickup errors of the component 2, with the influence of the specific event Ea removed. The pickup error information i3 includes at least one piece of information: the number of pickup errors of the component 2 and the pickup error rate of the component 2.

[0108] The information processing unit 52 derives the pickup error information i3 based on the performance information i1 excluding data for the predetermined period s1 after the specific event Ea has ended. In other words, the information processing unit 52 derives the pickup error information i3 without using data for the predetermined period s1 immediately after the specific event Ea has occurred. For example, the information processing unit 52 removes data for the predetermined period s1 from all performance information i1, including data at the start of the component 2 pick-up operation, and then derives the pickup error information i3 based on the remaining performance information i1 after removing the data. Alternatively, the information processing unit 52 does not collect data for the predetermined period s1, and derives the pickup error information i3 based on performance information i1 that does not include data for the predetermined period s1, i.e., performance information i1 excluding data for the predetermined period s1. Note that the information processing unit 52 continues to derive the pickup error information i3 for the event Eb, regardless of whether the event Eb has occurred.

[0109] Furthermore, the information processing unit 52 derives suction error information i3 for each ID of the tape 32, specifically for each reel that is a wound body of the tape 32. By deriving the suction error information i3 for each ID of the tape 32, it becomes possible to clarify the relationship between suction errors of the components 2 and the packaging quality of the tape 32.

[0110] The display unit 58 is, for example, a display, and displays the pickup error information i3 derived by the information processing unit 52 in chronological order (see FIG. 7). The display unit 58 also displays the pickup error information i3 and the event information i2 in association with each other in chronological order (see FIGS. 8 and 9).

[0111] The management device 50A of this embodiment includes an information acquisition unit 51 that acquires performance information i1 related to the removal performance when the component 2 is removed from the tape 32 by the suction nozzle 43 and event information i2 including a specific event Ea that occurred in the component mounter 10A, and an information processing unit 52 that derives pickup failure information i3 related to a pickup failure of the component 2 based on the performance information i1 excluding data for a predetermined period s1 after the specific event Ea is completed.

[0112] As described above, by deriving pickup error information i3 based on performance information i1 excluding data for a predetermined period s1 after the end of specific event Ea, it is possible to appropriately derive the frequency of pickup errors for component 2. Furthermore, by appropriately deriving the frequency of pickup errors for component 2, it is possible to recognize the packaging quality of tape 32 related to pickup errors.

[0113] [Information processing methods, etc.] The information processing method and the like according to the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

[0114] FIG. 13 is a flowchart showing an information processing method according to the second embodiment.

[0115] As shown in FIG. 13, the control unit 55 acquires the performance information i1 and the event information i2 (step S51).

[0116] The performance information i1 is information relating to the removal performance when the component 2 accommodated on the tape 32 is removed by the suction nozzle 43. The performance information i1 includes information relating to whether the suction nozzle 43 was successful in picking up the component 2 and the time when the removal operation of the component 2 was performed. The control unit 55 acquires the performance information i1 based on the sensing information output from the component mounter 10A.

[0117] The event information i2 is information that includes a specific event Ea that occurred in the mounter 10A. The event information i2 includes information about the content of the event and the time when the event occurred. The control unit 55 acquires the event information i2 from the input unit 57 of the mounter 10A or the management device 50A. The control unit 55 stores the performance information i1 and event information i2 in the memory unit 56.

[0118] Next, the control unit 55 derives pickup error information i3 relating to pickup errors of the component 2 based on the performance information i1 excluding data for a predetermined period s1 after the end of the specific event Ea (step S52). The pickup error information i3 includes at least one piece of information regarding the number of pickup errors of the component 2 and the pickup error rate of the component 2.

[0119] For example, if the specific event Ea is a change of the tape 32 when replacing the tape 32 currently in use with a new tape 32, the above-mentioned predetermined period s1 is any one of a predetermined time after the tape 32 is changed, a predetermined tape length, and a predetermined number of components. Also, if the specific event Ea is a removal or attachment of the tape feeder 31 to the mounter 10A, the above-mentioned predetermined period s1 is any one of a predetermined time after the removal or attachment of the tape feeder 31, a predetermined tape length, and a predetermined number of components. The control unit 55 derives the pickup error information i3 for each ID of the tape 32.

[0120] Next, the control unit 55 causes the display unit 58 to display the suction failure information i3 in chronological order (step S53). The display unit 58 displays the suction failure information i3 in association with the ID of the tape 32. The display unit 58 also displays the suction failure information i3 and the event information i2 in association with each other in chronological order.

[0121] In this way, by deriving pickup error information i3 based on performance information i1 excluding data for a predetermined period s1 after the end of a specific event Ea, the frequency of pickup errors for component 2 can be appropriately derived.

[0122] Next, an example of a method for calculating the pickup error rate will be described.

[0123] FIG. 14 is a flowchart showing an example of a method for calculating the pickup error rate.

[0124] 14, the control unit 55 acquires performance information i1 and event information i2 (step S61). The control unit 55 acquires performance information i1 relating to all pick-up performance based on the sensing information output from the mounter 10A. The control unit 55 also acquires event information i2 from the input unit 57 of the mounter 10A or the management device 50A. The event information i2 includes a specific event Ea and another event Eb.

[0125] Next, the control unit 55 removes data for a predetermined period s1 after the specific event Ea ends from the performance information i1 obtained in step S61, and obtains performance information i1 after removing the data (step S62).

[0126] Next, the control unit 55 determines whether or not there has been a pickup error of the component 2 in the component mounter 10A based on the performance information i1 after excluding the data (step S66).

[0127] If there is no pickup error (No in S66), control unit 55 causes display unit 58 to display the current number of pickup errors (step S67), and proceeds to step S70. On the other hand, if there is a pickup error (Yes in S66), control unit 55 updates the number of pickup errors for component 2 and stores the updated number of pickup errors in memory unit 56 (step S68). Control unit 55 also causes display unit 58 to display the updated number of pickup errors (step S69).

[0128] Next, the control unit 55 determines whether or not a production end signal for ending production of component-mounted boards has been received (step S70). If the production end signal has not been received (No in S70), the control unit 55 returns to step S61 and executes the processes from step S61 onwards. If the production end signal has been received (Yes in S70), the control unit 55 ends the process of this flow. By repeating the processes of steps S61 to S70 in this manner, the frequency of pickup errors can be appropriately recognized.

[0129] (summary) An example of a component mounter according to one aspect of the present disclosure will be described below.

[0130] The component mounter 10 of Example 1 is a component mounter that removes components 2 stored on a tape 32 and mounts them on a board 3, and is equipped with an information acquisition unit 11 that acquires performance information i1 related to removal performance when removing components 2 from the tape 32 with a suction nozzle 43 and event information i2 including a specific event Ea that occurred in the component mounter 10, an information processing unit 12 that derives suction error information i3 related to suction errors of the components 2 based on the performance information i1 excluding data for a predetermined period s1 after the specific event Ea ends, and a display unit 18 that displays the suction error information i3 in chronological order.

[0131] In this way, by deriving pickup error information i3 based on performance information i1 excluding data for a predetermined period s1 after the end of specific event Ea, it is possible to appropriately derive the frequency of pickup errors for component 2. Furthermore, by appropriately deriving the frequency of pickup errors for component 2, it is possible to recognize the packaging quality of tape 32 related to pickup errors.

[0132] The component mounter 10 of Example 2 is the component mounter described in Example 1, and the performance information i1 includes information regarding whether the suction nozzle 43 successfully picked up the component 2 and the time when the component 2 was removed, and the event information i2 may include information regarding the content of the event and the time when the event occurred.

[0133] This makes it possible to derive pickup error information i3 in association with the time when the component 2 was picked up and the time when the event occurred, thereby making it possible to appropriately derive the frequency of pickup errors of the component 2 along with the time.

[0134] The mounter 10 of Example 3 is the mounter described in Example 1 or 2, and the pickup error information i3 may include at least one piece of information about the number of pickup errors of the component 2 and the pickup error rate of the component 2.

[0135] This makes it possible to properly derive the number of pickup errors of component 2 and / or the pickup error rate of component 2. This makes it possible to properly derive the frequency of pickup errors of component 2.

[0136] The mounter 10 of Example 4 is the mounter described in any one of Examples 1 to 3, and the information processing unit 12 may derive the pickup failure information i3 for each tape 32 ID.

[0137] In this way, by deriving the pickup error information i3 for each ID of the tape 32, it is possible to clarify the relationship between the product number of the tape 32 and the pickup error of the component 2, for example.

[0138] The mounter 10 of Example 5 is the mounter described in any one of Examples 1 to 4, and the display unit 18 may display the ID of the tape 32 and the pickup failure information i3 in association with each other.

[0139] In this way, by displaying the pickup error information i3 for each ID of the tape 32, it is possible to clearly indicate the relationship between the product number of the tape 32 and the pickup error of the component 2, for example.

[0140] The component mounter 10 of Example 6 is a component mounter described in any one of Examples 1 to 5, and the specific event Ea is a change of tape 32 when replacing the tape 32 in use with a new tape 32, and the predetermined period s1 may be any one of a predetermined time after replacing the tape 32, a predetermined tape length, and a predetermined number of components.

[0141] This makes it possible to properly obtain performance information i1 excluding data for a predetermined period s1 after the tape 32 has been replaced. Therefore, pickup error information i3 can be properly derived based on the performance information i1. This makes it possible to properly derive the frequency of pickup errors for components 2.

[0142] The component mounter 10 of Example 7 is a component mounter described in any one of Examples 1 to 5, and the specific event Ea is the attachment or detachment of a tape feeder 31 to the component mounter 10, and the predetermined period s1 may be any one of a predetermined time after the attachment or detachment of the tape feeder 31, a predetermined tape length, and a predetermined number of components.

[0143] This makes it possible to properly obtain performance information i1 excluding data for a predetermined period s1 after the tape feeder 31 is attached or detached. Therefore, it is possible to properly derive pickup error information i3 based on the performance information i1. This makes it possible to properly derive the frequency of pickup errors of components 2.

[0144] The mounter 10 of Example 8 is the mounter described in any one of Examples 1 to 7, and the display unit 18 may display the pickup error information i3 and the event information i2 in association with each other in chronological order.

[0145] In this way, the relationship between the pickup error information i3 and the event information i2 can be clarified.

[0146] The management device 50A of Example 9 includes an information acquisition unit 51 that acquires performance information i1 related to the removal performance when a component 2 stored on a tape 32 is removed by a suction nozzle 43, and event information i2 including a specific event Ea that occurred in the component mounter 10A, and an information processing unit 52 that derives suction failure information i3 related to a suction failure of the component 2 based on the performance information i1 excluding data for a predetermined period s1 after the specific event Ea ends.

[0147] In this way, by deriving pickup error information i3 based on performance information i1 excluding data for a predetermined period s1 after the end of specific event Ea, it is possible to appropriately derive the frequency of pickup errors for component 2. Furthermore, by appropriately deriving the frequency of pickup errors for component 2, it is possible to recognize the packaging quality of tape 32 related to pickup errors.

[0148] The management device 50A of Example 10 is the management device described in Example 9, and may further include a display unit 58 that displays the pickup error information i3 derived by the information processing unit 52 in chronological order.

[0149] This allows the frequency of component 2 pickup errors to be displayed appropriately.

[0150] The management system 1A of Example 11 includes the above-described management device 50A and a component mounter 10A that picks up components 2 accommodated on tape 32 with suction nozzles 43 and mounts them on board 3.

[0151] This makes it possible to provide a management system 1A that can appropriately derive the frequency of component 2 pickup errors.

[0152] The information processing method of Example 12 includes an information acquisition step of acquiring performance information i1 relating to the removal performance when a component 2 stored on a tape 32 is removed by a suction nozzle 43, and event information i2 including a specific event Ea that occurred in the component mounter 10 (or 10A), and an information processing step of deriving suction failure information i3 relating to a suction failure of the component 2 based on the performance information i1 excluding data for a predetermined period s1 after the specific event Ea is completed.

[0153] In this way, by deriving pickup error information i3 based on performance information i1 excluding data for a predetermined period s1 after the end of specific event Ea, it is possible to appropriately derive the frequency of pickup errors for component 2. Furthermore, by appropriately deriving the frequency of pickup errors for component 2, it is possible to recognize the packaging quality of tape 32 related to pickup errors.
