Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present disclosure relates to a component supply system, a management system, a component supply method, and a management method, and more particularly, to a component supply system, a management system, a component supply method, and a management method that supply components held on carrier tapes. [Background technology]

[0002] Patent Document 1 describes a component mounter equipped with multiple feeder devices and a component transfer device. Each of the multiple feeder devices has a tape reel around which a carrier tape is wound, and sequentially supplies components stored on the carrier tape to a component supply position. The component transfer device sucks and holds the components supplied to the component supply position, transports them to a positioned board, and mounts them.

[0003] The carrier tape includes a cover tape and a bottom tape. The bottom tape has a large number of rectangular component storage compartments arranged at equal intervals along the tape length, and each component storage compartment stores and holds a component. A cover tape is removably attached to the top surface of the bottom tape. The cover tape is attached to the bottom tape by an adhesive section extending along the tape length, and covers the components stored in the component storage compartments while attached to the bottom tape.

[0004] Each feeder device further includes a tape peeling mechanism that peels the cover tape from the bottom tape. The tape peeling mechanism peels the cover tape from the bottom tape by inserting a tape peeling blade between the bottom tape and the cover tape and progressing between the bottom tape and the cover tape.

[0005] [Patent Document 1] International Publication No. 2016 / 147425 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0006] In component mounters such as those described in Patent Document 1, the speed at which components are removed from the carrier tape by the component transfer device is increasing, and accordingly the speed at which the carrier tape is fed out by the feeder device (feeder) is also increasing. Furthermore, the speed at which the cover tape peeled from the bottom tape is wound up is also increasing, and as a result, the cover tape may break during the winding process (tape breakage).

[0007] An object of the present disclosure is to provide a component supply system, a management system, a component supply method, and a management method that are capable of preventing tape breakage when winding up a cover tape. [Means for solving the problem]

[0008] A component supply system according to one aspect of the present disclosure sequentially supplies a plurality of components held on a carrier tape to a component supply position. The carrier tape has a bottom tape and a cover tape and holds the plurality of components in one direction. The component supply system includes a feeder and a control unit. The carrier tape is attached to the feeder. The control unit controls the feeder. The feeder includes a feeding mechanism, a peeling mechanism, and a winding mechanism. The feeding mechanism feeds the carrier tape toward the component supply position. The peeling mechanism peels the cover tape from the bottom tape when the feeding mechanism feeds the carrier tape. The cover tape is releasably adhered to the bottom tape by an adhesive portion formed along the one direction. The winding mechanism winds up the cover tape peeled from the bottom tape by the peeling mechanism. The control unit changes a winding speed, which is a speed at which the winding mechanism winds up the cover tape, from a first speed to a second speed lower than the first speed, based on tape run-out information. The tape break information is information relating to the number of times that a tape break occurs, which is an event in which the cover tape wound by the winding mechanism breaks.

[0009] A management system according to one aspect of the present disclosure is a management system that manages a mounting device. The mounting device holds components sequentially supplied from a carrier tape at a component supply position and mounts the held components on a board. The carrier tape has a bottom tape and a cover tape and holds a plurality of the components along one direction. The management system includes a processing unit. The processing unit determines parameters related to a feeder to which the carrier tape is attached. The feeder has a feeding mechanism, a peeling mechanism, and a winding mechanism. The feeding mechanism feeds the carrier tape toward the component supply position. The peeling mechanism peels the cover tape from the bottom tape when the feeding mechanism feeds the carrier tape. The cover tape is releasably adhered to the bottom tape by an adhesive portion formed along the one direction. The winding mechanism winds up the cover tape peeled from the bottom tape by the peeling mechanism. The processing unit executes a generation process and a determination process. In the generation process, the processing unit generates tape break information based on performance information transmitted from the mounting device. The tape break information is information regarding the number of occurrences of a tape break, which is an event in which the cover tape being wound by the winding mechanism breaks. In the determination process, the processing unit determines the parameter based on the tape break information so as to change the winding speed, which is the speed at which the cover tape is wound by the winding mechanism, from a first speed to a second speed which is lower than the first speed.

[0010] A component supply method according to one aspect of the present disclosure sequentially supplies multiple components held on a carrier tape to a component supply position. The carrier tape has a bottom tape and a cover tape and holds the multiple components in one direction. The component supply method includes a control step. In the control step, a feeder to which the carrier tape is attached is controlled. The feeder has a feeding mechanism, a peeling mechanism, and a winding mechanism. The feeding mechanism feeds the carrier tape toward the component supply position. The peeling mechanism peels the cover tape from the bottom tape when the feeding mechanism feeds the carrier tape. The cover tape is releasably adhered to the bottom tape by an adhesive portion formed along the one direction. The winding mechanism winds up the cover tape peeled from the bottom tape by the peeling mechanism. In the control step, a winding speed at which the cover tape is wound by the winding mechanism is changed from a first speed to a second speed lower than the first speed based on tape run-out information. The tape break information is information relating to the number of times that a tape break occurs, which is an event in which the cover tape wound by the winding mechanism breaks.

[0011] A management method according to one aspect of the present disclosure is a management method for managing a mounting device. The mounting device holds components sequentially supplied from a carrier tape at a component supply position and mounts the held components on a board. The carrier tape has a bottom tape and a cover tape and holds a plurality of the components along one direction. The management method includes a processing step. In the processing step, parameters related to a feeder to which the carrier tape is attached are determined. The feeder has a feeding mechanism, a peeling mechanism, and a winding mechanism. The feeding mechanism feeds the carrier tape toward the component supply position. The peeling mechanism peels the cover tape from the bottom tape when the feeding mechanism feeds the carrier tape. The cover tape is releasably adhered to the bottom tape by an adhesive portion formed along the one direction. The winding mechanism winds up the cover tape peeled from the bottom tape by the peeling mechanism. In the processing step, tape break information is generated based on performance information transmitted from the mounting device. The tape break information is information regarding the number of occurrences of tape breaks, which are events in which the cover tape being wound by the winding mechanism breaks. In the processing step, the parameters are determined based on the tape break information so as to change the winding speed, which is the speed at which the cover tape is wound by the winding mechanism, from a first speed to a second speed which is smaller than the first speed. [Effects of the Invention]

[0014] Below, a parts supply system, a management system, a parts supply method, and a management method according to embodiments 1 and 2 will be described with reference to the drawings. The drawings referred to in the following embodiments 1 and 2 are schematic diagrams, and the sizes and thicknesses of the components in the drawings do not necessarily reflect the actual dimensions, and the size ratios and thickness ratios between the components do not necessarily reflect the actual dimensional ratios.

[0015] (Embodiment 1) (1) Overview First, an overview of a management system 2 and a parts supply system 3 according to the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS.

[0016] 1 and 2, the management system 2 according to the first embodiment is a system for managing a mounting apparatus 1. As shown in FIG. 3, the mounting apparatus 1 is an apparatus that holds components 100 sequentially supplied from a carrier tape 7 at a component supply position Po1 and mounts the held components 100 on a substrate 200. The carrier tape 7 has a bottom tape 71 and a cover tape 72, and holds a plurality of components 100 along one direction (the longitudinal direction of the carrier tape 7). The management system 2 includes a processing unit 21 (see FIG. 2). The processing unit 21 determines parameters related to a feeder 140 to which the carrier tape 7 is attached. The parameters include, for example, a feed speed at which the carrier tape 7 is fed by a feed mechanism 141 (described later) and a take-up speed at which the cover tape 72 is taken up by a take-up mechanism 143 (described later).

[0017] As shown in Fig. 2, the feeder 140 has a feed-out mechanism 141, a peeling mechanism 142, and a winding mechanism 143. The feed-out mechanism 141 feeds out the carrier tape 7 toward the component supply position Po1. The peeling mechanism 142 peels the cover tape 72 from the bottom tape 71 when the feed-out mechanism 141 feeds out the carrier tape 7. The cover tape 72 is releasably adhered to the bottom tape 71 by an adhesive portion (not shown) formed along one direction. The winding mechanism 143 winds up the cover tape 72 peeled off from the bottom tape 71 by the peeling mechanism 142.

[0018] The processing unit 21 executes a generation process and a determination process. In the generation process, the processing unit 21 generates tape break information based on performance information transmitted from the mounting device 1. The tape break information is information regarding the number of occurrences of tape breakage, which is an event in which the cover tape 72 wound by the winding mechanism 143 breaks. In the determination process, the processing unit 21 determines the parameters based on the tape break information so as to change the winding speed, which is the speed at which the cover tape 72 is wound by the winding mechanism 143, from a first speed to a second speed that is lower than the first speed.

[0019] The component supply system 3 according to the first embodiment is a system for sequentially supplying a plurality of components 100 held on a carrier tape 7 to a component supply position Po1. The component supply system 3 includes a feeder 140 and a control device 13. The carrier tape 7 is attached to the feeder 140. The control device 13 controls the feeder 140. The control device 13 also changes the winding speed of the winding mechanism 143 from a first speed to a second speed based on tape break information.

[0020] In the management system 2 and parts supply system 3 according to embodiment 1, the winding speed of the winding mechanism 143 is changed from the first speed to the second speed based on tape break information, which is information relating to the number of times tape breaks have occurred, thereby making it possible to prevent tape breaks when winding the cover tape 72.

[0021] (2)Details Next, each component of the management system 2 and component supply system 3 according to the first embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 1 and Fig. 2. As described above, the management system 2 according to the first embodiment is a management device 2 for managing the mounting device 1. The management device 2, together with the mounting device 1, constitutes a production line management system 10. Furthermore, the component supply system 3 according to the first embodiment is a system for supplying a plurality of components 100 held on a carrier tape 7, as described above.

[0022] As shown in FIG. 1, the production line management system 10 includes a production line L1 and a management device 2.

[0023] (2.1) Production Line As shown in FIG. 1, the production line L1 includes a solder printing device M1, multiple mounting devices M2 and M3 (two in the illustrated example), and a reflow device M4. In the production line L1, the solder printing device M1, the multiple mounting devices M2 and M3, and the reflow device M4 are connected in series in this order. Although not shown, a board supply device that supplies boards and a board transfer device that transfers boards supplied from the board supply device to the solder printing device M1 are provided upstream of the solder printing device M1 (left side of FIG. 1). Similarly, although not shown, a board recovery device that recovers mounted boards (described below) is provided downstream of the reflow device M4 (right side of FIG. 1). The board supply device, board transfer device, solder printing device M1, the multiple mounting devices M2 and M3, the reflow device M4, and the board recovery device are connected to a management device 2 via a communication network N1.

[0024] The solder printing device M1, multiple mounting devices M2, M3, and reflow device M4 perform component mounting work to mount components 100 (see FIG. 3) on boards 200 (see FIG. 3) transported along the production line L1. That is, the boards 200 supplied by the board supply device are carried into the solder printing device M1 via the board delivery device. The solder printing device M1 performs solder printing work to screen-print solder for joining components onto the carried-in boards 200.

[0025] The solder-printed board 200 is sequentially handed over to a plurality of mounting devices M2 and M3. The plurality of mounting devices M2 and M3 perform component mounting work, mounting components 100 on the solder-printed board 200. The board 200 after component mounting is carried into a reflow device M4 and heated according to a predetermined heating process. This melts and solidifies the solder for component bonding printed on the heated board 200. Then, the components 100 are solder-bonded to the board 200, thereby producing a mounted board, which is a finished product in which the components 100 are mounted on the board 200. The produced mounted board is collected by a board collection device.

[0026] (2.2) Mounting equipment As described above, each of the multiple mounting devices M2, M3 is a mounting device (hereinafter also referred to as a "mounting device 1") that performs component mounting work to mount components 100 on a board 200. As shown in Fig. 2, the mounting device 1 includes a mounting head 11, a driving device 12, a control device 13, a component supply device 14, a board transport device 15, and a communication device 16. Furthermore, as shown in Fig. 3, the mounting device 1 further includes a fixed camera 17 and a base 18.

[0027] (2.2.1) Drive unit The driving device 12 is a device for moving the mounting head 11 in the horizontal direction. The driving device 12 includes a first linear motor and a second linear motor. The driving device 12 moves the mounting head 11 linearly along a first direction in a predetermined horizontal plane by using a driving force generated by the first linear motor. The driving device 12 also moves the mounting head 11 linearly along a second direction in the predetermined horizontal plane by using a driving force generated by the second linear motor. The first direction and the second direction are directions that intersect (for example, are perpendicular to) each other in the predetermined horizontal plane.

[0028] (2.2.2) Mounting head The mounting head 11 is a device for mounting components 100 supplied from a component supply device 14 onto a board 200. As shown in FIG. 2, the mounting head 11 has a holding unit 111, an actuator 112, an imaging unit 113, and a head unit 114 (see FIG. 3).

[0029] The holder 111 is, for example, a suction nozzle. The holder 111 is switchable between a state in which the component 100 is sucked and a state in which the component 100 is released from the suction. Note that the holder 111 is not limited to a suction nozzle, and may be configured to hold the component by grasping (picking) it like a robot hand, for example.

[0030] The actuator 112 moves the holding unit 111 linearly in the vertical direction. The actuator 112 also rotates the holding unit 111 in a rotational direction around an axis along the vertical direction. The actuator 112 includes a linear motor and a rotary motor. The actuator 112 moves the holding unit 111 linearly in the vertical direction by a driving force generated by the linear motor. The actuator 112 also rotates the holding unit 111 in the rotational direction by a driving force generated by the rotary motor.

[0031] The imaging unit 113 is, for example, a video camera that captures moving images. The imaging unit 113 captures images of an area including the component supply position Po1 (see FIG. 3) and an area including the component mounting position Po2 (see FIG. 3) while the mounting head 11 is moving.

[0032] The head unit 114 is, for example, made of metal and formed in a rectangular parallelepiped shape. The holding portion 111 and the actuator 112 are assembled to the head unit 114, so that the head unit 114 holds the holding portion 111 and the actuator 112. In this embodiment, the holding portion 111 is indirectly held by the head unit 114 via the actuator 112 in a state in which the holding portion 111 is movable in the vertical direction and the rotational direction. The head unit 114 also holds the imaging unit 113.

[0033] (2.2.3) Control device The control device 13 controls each part of the mounting device 1. The control device 13 can be realized, for example, by a computer system having one or more processors and one or more memories. That is, the control device 13 functions as the control device 13 when one or more processors execute a program recorded in one or more memories of the computer system. Here, the program is pre-recorded in the memory of the control device 13, but it may also be provided via a telecommunications line such as the Internet, or may be recorded on a non-transitory recording medium such as a memory card and provided. The control device 13 includes, for example, an FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array).

[0034] The control device 13 is electrically connected to, for example, the mounting head 11, the drive device 12, the component supply device 14, the board transport device 15, the communication device 16, and the fixed camera 17. The control device 13 outputs control signals to the mounting head 11 and the drive device 12, and controls the mounting head 11 and the drive device 12 so that the component 100 is mounted at a predetermined position (component mounting position Po2) on the board 200. The control device 13 also outputs control signals to the component supply device 14, and controls the component supply device 14 so that the component 100 is positioned at the component supply port 145 (see FIG. 3 ). The control device 13 also outputs control signals to the board transport device 15, and controls the board transport device 15 so that the board 200 is positioned in the mounting space. The control device 13 also outputs control signals to the communication device 16, and controls the communication device 16 so that the communication device 16 communicates with the communication unit 22 of the management system 2. In addition, the control device 13 outputs control signals to the imaging unit 113 and the fixed camera 17 of the mounting head 11, controls each of the imaging unit 113 and the fixed camera 17, and acquires images captured by each of the imaging unit 113 and the fixed camera 17 from each of the imaging unit 113 and the fixed camera 17.

[0035] Furthermore, the control device 13 controls the component supply device 14 as described above. More specifically, the control device 13 controls the feeder 140 of the component supply device 14. That is, in this embodiment, the control device 13 corresponds to a control unit. Specifically, in a component mounting operation in which components 100 are mounted on a board 200, the control device 13 controls the feed mechanism 141 (described later) of the feeder 140 so that the feed speed of the carrier tape 7 by the feed mechanism 141 becomes a third speed. Furthermore, in the component mounting operation, the control device 13 controls the winding mechanism 143 (described later) of the feeder 140 so that the winding speed of the cover tape 72 by the winding mechanism 143 (described later) of the feeder 140 becomes a first speed.

[0036] Here, the control device 13 changes the winding speed of the cover tape 72 by the winding mechanism 143 from a first speed to a second speed that is slower than the first speed, based on the tape-out information. Specifically, the control device 13 changes the winding speed of the winding mechanism 143 from the first speed to the second speed, based on parameters (described below) included in data received through communication between the communication device 16 (described below) and the management device 2.

[0037] The tape break information is information relating to the number of times that a tape break occurs, which is an event in which the cover tape 72 wound by the winding mechanism 143 breaks. More specifically, the tape break information includes, for example, occurrence count information indicating that the number of times that a tape break occurs in one type of carrier tape 7 is equal to or greater than a threshold value (hereinafter also referred to as "first occurrence count information"). The tape break information also includes, for example, occurrence count information indicating that the number of times that a tape break occurs in one feeder 140 is equal to or greater than a threshold value (hereinafter also referred to as "second occurrence count information"). As described above, by changing the winding speed of the cover tape 72 by the winding mechanism 143 from the first speed to the second speed (i.e., slowing down the winding speed), it is possible to prevent tape breaks.

[0038] Specifically, the control device 13 changes the winding speed of the winding mechanism 143 in the feeder 140 to which one type of carrier tape 7 associated with the first occurrence count information included in the tape out information is attached from the first speed to the second speed. Here, it is assumed that the above-mentioned one type of carrier tape 7 is attached to multiple feeders 140. In this case, when the tape out information includes more than a specified number of first occurrence count information pieces that correspond one-to-one to more than a specified number of feeders 140 among the multiple feeders 140, the control device 13 changes the winding speed of the multiple winding mechanisms 143 in the multiple feeders 140 to which one type of carrier tape 7 is attached from the first speed to the second speed.

[0039] Furthermore, the control device 13 changes the winding speed of one winding mechanism 143 in one feeder 140 associated with the second occurrence count included in the tape-out information from the first speed to the second speed. Here, it is assumed that multiple types of carrier tapes 7 are attached to the above-mentioned single feeder 140. In this case, when the tape-out information includes a predetermined number or more of second occurrence count information that corresponds one-to-one with a predetermined number or more of the multiple types of carrier tapes 7, the control device 13 changes the winding speed of one winding mechanism 143 in one feeder 140 to which multiple types of carrier tapes 7 are attached from the first speed to the second speed.

[0040] Furthermore, the control device 13 changes the winding speed of the winding mechanism 143 from the first speed to the second speed, and also changes the feeding speed of the feeding mechanism 141 from the third speed to the fourth speed. More specifically, the control device 13 changes the feeding speed of the carrier tape 7 fed by the feeding mechanism 141 from the third speed to the fourth speed, which is slower than the third speed, based on the tape break information. In this way, by also slowing down the feeding speed of the carrier tape 7 by the feeding mechanism 141, it is possible to further prevent the tape from breaking when the cover tape 72 is wound up.

[0041] (2.2.4) Parts supply device The component supply device 14 is a device that supplies components 100 to the mounting head 11. The component supply device 14 has, for example, a feeder 140. A carrier tape 7 is attached to the feeder 140. As shown in FIG. 3, the carrier tape 7 has a bottom tape 71 and a cover tape 72. Although not shown, the bottom tape 71 has a plurality of component storage sections that are equally spaced along one direction (the longitudinal direction of the carrier tape 7) and that store a plurality of components 100. The cover tape 72 is adhered to the bottom tape 71 via an adhesive portion so as to cover the plurality of components 100 stored in the plurality of component storage sections. The adhesive portion is formed over the entire length of the carrier tape 7 along the longitudinal direction of the carrier tape 7. In other words, the carrier tape 7 has the bottom tape 71 and the cover tape 72 and holds a plurality of components 100 along one direction.

[0042] As shown in FIG. 2, the feeder 140 includes a feed-out mechanism 141, a peeling mechanism 142, and a winding mechanism 143. The feed-out mechanism 141 is configured to feed out the carrier tape 7 toward the component supply position Po1 (see FIG. 3). More specifically, the feed-out mechanism 141 feeds out the carrier tape 7 toward the component supply position Po1 at, for example, a third speed or a fourth speed. The peeling mechanism 142 is configured to peel the cover tape 72 from the bottom tape 71 when the feed-out mechanism 141 feeds out the carrier tape 7. The winding mechanism 143 is configured to wind up the cover tape 72 peeled off from the bottom tape 71 by the peeling mechanism 142. More specifically, the winding mechanism 143 winds up the cover tape 72 peeled off from the bottom tape 71 at, for example, a first speed or a second speed. Here, the first speed and the third speed may be the same or different. When the first speed and the third speed are different, it is preferable that the third speed is greater than the first speed. Furthermore, the second speed and the fourth speed may be the same or different. When the second speed and the fourth speed are different, it is preferable that the fourth speed is greater than the second speed.

[0043] In this embodiment, the control device 13 and the component supply device 14 (feeder 140) constitute the component supply system 3. That is, the component supply system 3 according to the first embodiment is a system that sequentially supplies a plurality of components 100 held on a carrier tape 7 to a component supply position Po1 (see FIG. 3), and includes the feeder 140 to which the carrier tape 7 is attached, and the control device 13 (control unit) that controls the feeder 140.

[0044] (2.2.5) Substrate transport device The board transfer device 15 is a device that transfers the board 200 received from an upstream device to a downstream device. For example, if the mounting device 1 is the mounting device M2, the board transfer device 15 transfers the board 200 received from the solder printing device M1, which is an upstream device, to the downstream device, the mounting device M3. Also, if the mounting device 1 is the mounting device M3, the board transfer device 15 transfers the board 200 received from the upstream device, the mounting device M2, to the downstream device, the reflow device M4. As shown in FIG. 3, the board transfer device 15 has a pair of conveyor mechanisms 151. The board transfer device 15 transfers the board 200 in one direction (the direction in which the devices are lined up) using the pair of conveyor mechanisms 151.

[0045] (2.2.6) Communications equipment The communication device 16 is configured to communicate with the communication unit 22 of the management device 2 directly or indirectly via a network, a repeater, or the like. This allows the mounting device 1 to exchange data with the management device 2. In the present embodiment, as an example, the communication device 16 transmits performance information to the management device 2. The performance information includes, in addition to the number of mounting boards produced by the mounting device 1, for example, identification information of the feeder 140 used in the production of mounting boards by the mounting device 1, product number information of the carrier tape 7, and the number of times the cover tape 72 has run out. The communication device 16 receives data (data related to parameters described below) from the management device 2 regarding the feed speed of the carrier tape 7 by the feed mechanism 141 of the feeder 140 and the take-up speed of the cover tape 72 by the take-up mechanism 143 of the feeder 140.

[0046] (2.2.7) Fixed Camera Fixed camera (component recognition camera) 17 captures an image of mounting head 11 from below as it moves between above component supply port 145 of feeder 140 and above board 200 positioned in the mounting space. Therefore, the image captured by fixed camera 17 shows component 100 captured by holder 111. In other words, the image captured by fixed camera 17 contains information about the relative positional relationship between holder 111 and component 100, in other words, information about the misalignment of component 100 with respect to holder 111.

[0047] It is preferable that the fixed camera 17 captures an image of the mounting head 11 moving from the component supply port 145 toward the board 200 from below. In this case, the fixed camera 17 does not capture images all the time, but captures an image when the holder 111 capturing the component 100 passes above the fixed camera 17. The fixed camera 17 may also be installed below the component supply port 145.

[0048] (2.3) Management device As described above, the management device (management system) 2 manages the mounting device 1. The mounting device 1 holds the components 100 sequentially supplied from the carrier tape 7 at the component supply position Po1, and mounts the held components 100 on the board 200. The carrier tape 7 has a bottom tape 71 and a cover tape 72, and holds a plurality of components 100 along one direction.

[0049] The management device 2 is, for example, a personal computer. The management device 2 can be realized, for example, by a computer system having one or more processors and one or more memories. That is, the management device 2 functions as a computer system when one or more processors execute a program recorded in one or more memories of the computer system. Here, the program is pre-recorded in the memory of the management device 2, but it may also be provided via a telecommunications line such as the Internet, or may be recorded on a non-transitory recording medium such as a memory card and provided.

[0050] As shown in FIG. 2, the management device 2 includes a processing unit 21, a communication unit 22, and a storage unit 23.

[0051] (2.3.1) Processing section The processing unit 21 performs overall control of the management device 2. The processing unit 21 is electrically connected to each of the communication unit 22 and the storage unit 23. The processing unit 21 outputs a control signal to the communication unit 22 and controls the communication unit 22 to communicate with the communication device 16 of the mounting device 1. The processing unit 21 outputs a control signal to the storage unit 23, and stores information in the storage unit 23 or reads information from the storage unit 23.

[0052] The processing unit 21 executes a generation process and a determination process. In the generation process, the processing unit 21 generates tape break information based on the performance information transmitted from the mounting device 1. As described above, the performance information includes the number of times that a tape break has occurred in the cover tape 72. Therefore, the processing unit 21 generates tape break information that includes occurrence count information indicating that the number of times that a tape break has occurred is equal to or greater than a threshold, based on the number of times that a tape break has occurred in the cover tape 72, which is included in the performance information.

[0053] Furthermore, in the determination process, the processing unit 21 determines parameters related to the feeder 140 based on the tape break information generated in the generation process so as to change the winding speed, which is the speed at which the cover tape 72 is wound by the winding mechanism 143 of the feeder 140, from a first speed to a second speed which is slower than the first speed. That is, the processing unit 21 determines parameters related to the feeder 140 to which the carrier tape 7 is attached. The parameters include, for example, the feed speed of the carrier tape 7 by the feed mechanism 141 of the feeder 140 and the winding speed of the cover tape 72 by the winding mechanism 143 of the feeder 140.

[0054] As described above, the tape break information includes first occurrence count information indicating that the number of times a tape break has occurred is equal to or greater than a threshold value for one type of carrier tape 7. Therefore, in the determination process, the processing unit 21 determines the parameters of the feeder 140 to which the one type of carrier tape 7 associated with the first occurrence count information included in the tape break information is attached.

[0055] As described above, the tape break information includes second occurrence count information indicating that the number of times that a tape break has occurred is equal to or greater than a threshold value in one feeder 140. Therefore, in the determination process, the processing unit 21 determines the parameters of one feeder 140 related to the second occurrence count information included in the tape break information.

[0056] Furthermore, processing unit 21 executes a prediction process and a notification process. In the prediction process, processing unit 21 predicts whether productivity of mounted boards will decrease when a mounted board (board 200 after components 100 are mounted) is produced by mounting apparatus 1 using the parameters determined in the determination process. In the notification process, if it is predicted in the prediction process that productivity of mounted boards will decrease, processing unit 21 notifies feeder information indicating feeders 140 related to the parameters. The feeder information includes identification information of feeders 140. This makes it possible to notify the worker of feeders 140 for which productivity of mounted boards is predicted to decrease.

[0057] (2.3.2) Communications section The communication unit 22 is configured to communicate with the communication device 16 of the mounting device 1 directly or indirectly via a network, a relay, or the like. This allows the management device 2 to exchange data with the mounting device 1. In the present embodiment, as an example, the communication unit 22 transmits data including the above parameters to the mounting device 1. The communication unit 22 also receives performance information from the mounting device 1. That is, the management system 2 according to the first embodiment further includes a communication unit 22 that transmits the above parameters determined by the processing unit 21 to the mounting device 1.

[0058] (2.3.3) Storage section The storage unit 23 includes, for example, a semiconductor memory such as a ROM (Read Only Memory), a RAM (Random Access Memory), or an EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory). Note that the storage unit 23 is not limited to a semiconductor memory, and may be a hard disk drive or the like.

[0059] The storage unit 23 stores, for example, for each feeder 140 or for each carrier tape 7, the number of times that the cover tape 72 has run out.

[0060] (3) Parts supply method The component supply method according to the first embodiment sequentially supplies a plurality of components 100 held on a carrier tape 7 to a component supply position Po1. The carrier tape 7 has a bottom tape 71 and a cover tape 72, and holds the plurality of components 100 along one direction (the longitudinal direction of the carrier tape 7). The component supply method includes a control step. In the control step, a feeder 140 to which the carrier tape 7 is attached is controlled. The feeder 140 includes a feed-out mechanism 141, a peeling mechanism 142, and a take-up mechanism 143. The feed-out mechanism 141 feeds out the carrier tape 7 toward the component supply position Po1. When the feed-out mechanism 141 feeds out the carrier tape 7, the peeling mechanism 142 peels off the cover tape 72, which is releasably adhered to the bottom tape 71 by an adhesive portion formed along one direction, from the bottom tape 71. The take-up mechanism 143 winds up the cover tape 72 peeled off from the bottom tape 71 by the peeling mechanism 142. In the control step, the winding speed, which is the speed at which the cover tape 72 is wound by the winding mechanism 143, is changed from a first speed to a second speed which is slower than the first speed, based on the tape break information. The tape break information is information regarding the number of occurrences of tape breakage, which is an event in which the cover tape 72 wound by the winding mechanism 143 breaks.

[0061] In the component supply method of embodiment 1, in the control step, the winding speed of the winding mechanism 143 is changed from the first speed to the second speed (slowed down) based on tape breakage information, thereby making it possible to prevent tape breakage when winding the cover tape 72.

[0062] (4) Management method Next, the management method according to the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS.

[0063] The management method according to the first embodiment is a management method for managing a mounting apparatus 1. The mounting apparatus 1 picks up components 100 sequentially supplied from a carrier tape 7 at a component supply position Po1 and mounts the picked-up components 100 on a substrate 200. The carrier tape 7 has a bottom tape 71 and a cover tape 72, and holds a plurality of components 100 along one direction (the longitudinal direction of the carrier tape 7). The management method includes a processing step. In the processing step, parameters related to a feeder 140 to which the carrier tape 7 is attached are determined. The feeder 140 includes a feed-out mechanism 141, a peeling mechanism 142, and a take-up mechanism 143. The feed-out mechanism 141 feeds out the carrier tape 7 toward the component supply position Po1. When the feed-out mechanism 141 feeds out the carrier tape 7, the peeling mechanism 142 peels off the cover tape 72, which is releasably adhered to the bottom tape 71 by an adhesive portion formed along one direction, from the bottom tape 71. The winding mechanism 143 winds up the cover tape 72 peeled off from the bottom tape 71 by the peeling mechanism 142. The processing steps include a first process and a second process. In the first process, tape break information is generated based on performance information transmitted from the mounting device 1. The tape break information is information regarding the number of times a tape break occurs, which is an event in which the cover tape 72 wound by the winding mechanism 143 breaks. In the second process, a parameter is determined based on the tape break information so as to change the winding speed, which is the speed at which the cover tape 72 is wound by the winding mechanism 143, from a first speed to a second speed which is slower than the first speed.

[0064] In the management method according to embodiment 1, a parameter is determined in the second processing step to set the winding speed of the winding mechanism 143 to the second speed, and by operating the rough winding mechanism 143 based on this parameter, it is possible to prevent the tape from breaking when winding the cover tape 72.

[0065] (4.1) First Example Fig. 4 is a flowchart showing a first example of a management method executed by the management system 2 according to the first embodiment. Note that the flowchart shown in Fig. 4 is merely an example, and the order of processes may be changed as appropriate, and processes may be added or deleted as appropriate. The first example focuses on one feeder 140 to which multiple carrier tapes 7 are attached, and is an example of a case where the winding speed of the winding mechanism 143 of this feeder 140 is slowed down.

[0066] First, the management system 2 executes step S1. More specifically, in step S1, the processing unit 21 of the management system 2 counts the number of times that the cover tape 72 has run out for each of a plurality of types of carrier tapes 7 carrying different components 100.

[0067] Next, the management system 2 executes step S2. More specifically, in step S2, the processing unit 21 of the management system 2 determines whether the number of carrier tapes 7 for which the number of times tape breaks have occurred is equal to or greater than a threshold is a specified number or not, among the multiple types of carrier tapes 7. If the number of carrier tapes 7 for which the number of times tape breaks have occurred is equal to or greater than the threshold is equal to or greater than the specified number (step S2: Yes), the processing unit 21 executes step S3. On the other hand, if the number of carrier tapes 7 for which the number of times tape breaks have occurred is not equal to or greater than the specified number (step S2: No), the processing unit 21 returns to step S1.

[0068] In step S3, processing unit 21 of management system 2 determines whether productivity of mounting boards will decrease if mounting boards are produced using the changed parameters. If productivity of mounting boards will decrease (step S3: Yes), processing unit 21 notifies the tablet terminal carried by the worker, for example, of the identification information of the one feeder 140 (step S4). On the other hand, if productivity of mounting boards will not decrease (step S3: No), processing unit 21 does not notify the tablet terminal of the identification information of the one feeder 140.

[0069] Finally, the management system 2 executes step S5. More specifically, the processing unit 21 of the management system 2 transmits data including the changed parameters to the mounting device 1 via the communication unit 22.

[0070] It is assumed that, after transmitting data including the changed parameters to the mounting device 1 in step S5 described above, maintenance is performed on the target feeder 140. In this case, the processing unit 21 of the management system 2 may determine parameters to change the winding speed of the winding mechanism 143 of the feeder 140 from the second speed to the first speed (i.e., return it to the original speed), and transmit data including the determined parameters to the mounting device 1.

[0071] (4.2) Second Example Fig. 5 is a flowchart showing a second example of the management method executed by the management system 2 according to the first embodiment. Note that the flowchart shown in Fig. 5 is merely an example, and the order of processes may be changed as appropriate, and processes may be added or deleted as appropriate. The second example focuses on one type of carrier tape 7 attached to multiple feeders 140, and is an example of a case where the winding speeds of multiple winding mechanisms 143 in the multiple feeders 140 to which this one type of carrier tape 7 is attached are slowed down.

[0072] First, the management system 2 executes step S11. More specifically, in step S11, the processing unit 21 of the management system 2 counts the number of times that the cover tape 72 has run out for each of the plurality of feeders 140 to which one type of carrier tape 7 is attached.

[0073] Next, the management system 2 executes step S12. More specifically, in step S12, the processing unit 21 of the management system 2 determines whether or not the number of feeders 140 in which the number of times a tape break has occurred is equal to or greater than a threshold is a specified number among the plurality of feeders 140. If the number of feeders 140 in which the number of times a tape break has occurred is equal to or greater than the threshold is the specified number (step S12: Yes), the processing unit 21 executes step S13. On the other hand, if the number of feeders 140 in which the number of times a tape break has occurred is equal to or greater than the threshold is not the specified number (step S12: No), the processing unit 21 returns to step S1.

[0074] In step S13, the processing unit 21 of the management system 2 determines whether productivity of mounting boards will decrease if mounting boards are produced using the changed parameters. If productivity of mounting boards will decrease (step S13: Yes), the processing unit 21 notifies, for example, a tablet terminal carried by a worker, the identification information of the plurality of feeders 140 to which one type of carrier tape 7 is attached (step S14). On the other hand, if productivity of mounting boards will not decrease (step S13: No), the processing unit 21 does not notify the tablet terminal of the identification information of the plurality of feeders 140.

[0075] Finally, the management system 2 executes step S5. More specifically, the processing unit 21 of the management system 2 transmits data including the changed parameters to the mounting device 1 via the communication unit 22.

[0076] It is assumed that, for example, the lot of the target carrier tape 7 is changed after data including the changed parameters is sent to the mounting device 1 in step S15 described above. In this case, the processing unit 21 of the management system 2 may determine parameters to change the winding speeds of the multiple winding mechanisms 143 in the multiple feeders 140 from the second speed to the first speed (i.e., return them to their original speeds), and send data including the determined parameters to the mounting device 1. Here, "changing the lot" includes, for example, using a lot of the same part produced in a different country, using a lot of the same part produced at a different time, and using a lot of an equivalent part produced by another manufacturer.

[0077] (4.3) Third Example Fig. 6 is a flowchart showing a third example of the management method executed by the management system 2 according to the first embodiment. Note that the flowchart shown in Fig. 6 is merely an example, and the order of the processes may be changed as appropriate, and processes may be added or deleted as appropriate. The third example focuses on the worker, and is an example of a case where the winding speed of the winding mechanism 143 of the feeder 140 is slowed down when a worker who has a predetermined number of splicing defects is working.

[0078] First, the management system 2 executes step S21. More specifically, in step S21, the processing unit 21 of the management system 2 tallies the number of splicing defects for each of the multiple workers. Here, a "defective splicing operation" refers to separation of the spliced ​​portion, which is the connection portion of two carrier tapes 7, during component supply when components 100 are supplied by feeder 140.

[0079] Next, the management system 2 executes step S22. More specifically, in step S22, the management system 2 determines whether the number of defects for each worker is equal to or greater than a threshold. If the number of defects is equal to or greater than the threshold (step S22: Yes), the processing unit 21 transmits to the mounting device 1 data including parameters for the winding speed of the winding mechanism 143 in the feeder 140 used when the corresponding worker works. On the other hand, if the number of defects is less than the threshold (step S22: No), the processing unit 21 does not transmit the data to the mounting device 1.

[0080] In addition, if the number of defects is less than the threshold value and the winding speed of the winding mechanism 143 in the feeder 140 used by the corresponding worker when working is set to the second speed, the processing unit 21 may send data to the mounting device 1 including a parameter for returning the winding speed to the first speed.

[0081] (5) Effects In the component supply system 3 of embodiment 1, the winding speed of the winding mechanism 143 is changed from a first speed to a second speed based on tape break information, which is information regarding the number of times tape breaks have occurred, thereby making it possible to prevent tape breaks when winding the cover tape 72.

[0082] Furthermore, in the component supply system 3 according to the first embodiment, by changing the winding speed of the winding mechanism 143 in the feeder 140 to which one type of carrier tape 7 is attached from the first speed to the second speed, it is possible to prevent breakage of the cover tape 72 caused by the carrier tape 7. In particular, when one type of carrier tape 7 is attached to multiple feeders 140, it is possible to prevent breakage of the cover tape 72 caused by the carrier tape 7 for the multiple feeders 140.

[0083] Furthermore, in the component supply system 3 according to the first embodiment, if the number of times tape breakage occurs in at least a specified number of carrier tapes 7 among the plurality of carrier tapes 7 attached to one feeder 140 is equal to or greater than a threshold value, the winding speed of one winding mechanism 143 in one feeder 140 is changed from a first speed to a second speed that is slower than the first speed. This makes it possible to prevent tape breakage of the cover tape 72 caused by the feeder 140.

[0084] In addition, in the component supply system 3 of embodiment 1, the feed speed of the carrier tape 7 fed by the feed mechanism 141 can be changed from the third speed to a fourth speed that is slower than the third speed, thereby further preventing the cover tape 72 from breaking.

[0085] Furthermore, according to the management system 2 of the first embodiment, the same effects as those of the above-described parts supply system 3 can be obtained.

[0086] (6) Variations The first embodiment is merely one of various embodiments of the present disclosure. Various modifications to the first embodiment are possible depending on the design, etc., as long as the object of the present disclosure can be achieved. Furthermore, functions similar to those of the component supply system 3 according to the first embodiment may be embodied in the above-described component supply method, (computer) program, or non-transitory recording medium on which the program is recorded, etc. Furthermore, functions similar to those of the management system 2 according to the first embodiment may be embodied in the above-described management method, (computer) program, or non-transitory recording medium on which the program is recorded, etc.

[0087] Below, we will list some modified examples of embodiment 1. The modified examples explained below can be applied in appropriate combinations.

[0088] The component supply system 3 or component supply method of the present disclosure includes a computer system. The computer system is primarily composed of a processor and memory as hardware. The processor executes a program stored in the computer system's memory to realize the functions of the component supply system 3 or component supply method of the present disclosure. The program may be pre-stored in the computer system's memory, provided via a telecommunications line, or provided on a non-transitory recording medium readable by the computer system, such as a memory card, optical disk, or hard disk drive. The processor of the computer system is composed of one or more electronic circuits, including a semiconductor integrated circuit (IC) or a large-scale integrated circuit (LSI). The integrated circuits, such as ICs and LSIs, are referred to by different names depending on the degree of integration, and include integrated circuits called system LSIs, very large-scale integrations (VLSIs), or ultra-large-scale integrations (ULSIs). Furthermore, field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), which are programmable after the LSI is manufactured, or logic devices capable of reconfiguring the connections within the LSI or the circuit partitions within the LSI, can also be used as processors. The electronic circuits may be integrated into one chip or distributed across multiple chips. The chips may be integrated into one device or distributed across multiple devices. The computer system referred to here includes a microcontroller having one or more processors and one or more memories. Therefore, the microcontroller is also composed of one or more electronic circuits including a semiconductor integrated circuit or a large-scale integrated circuit. The same applies to the entity that executes the management system 2 and management method in the present disclosure.

[0089] Furthermore, it is not essential for the component supply system 3 that multiple functions are concentrated in one housing, and the components of the component supply system 3 may be distributed across multiple housings. Furthermore, at least some of the functions of the component supply system 3, for example, the functions of the control device 13, may be realized by the cloud (cloud computing) or the like. The same applies to the management system 2 in the present disclosure.

[0090] In the first embodiment, the management device 2 is a personal computer, but the management device 2 is not limited to a personal computer and may be, for example, a tablet terminal, a smartphone, or a dedicated terminal.

[0091] In the first embodiment, when productivity of mounting boards decreases, the identification information of the corresponding feeder 140 is notified to a tablet terminal owned by the worker. Alternatively, for example, the identification information of the corresponding feeder 140 may be notified to the mounting device 1. Alternatively, the identification information of the corresponding feeder 140 may be notified to a server or the like.

[0092] (Embodiment 2) A component supply system 3A according to the second embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 7. Note that, with respect to the component supply system 3A according to the second embodiment, the same components as those in the component supply system 3 according to the first embodiment will be denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be omitted.

[0093] A component supply system 3A according to the second embodiment differs from the component supply system 3 according to the first embodiment in that a feeder 140A further includes a storage device 144 that stores the number of times that tape breakage has occurred.

[0094] As shown in Fig. 7, the component supply system 3A according to the second embodiment includes a control device 13 (see Fig. 2) and a component supply device 14A. The component supply device 14A has a feeder 140A. The feeder 140A includes a delivery mechanism 141, a peeling mechanism 142, a winding mechanism 143, and a memory device 144.

[0095] The storage device 144 includes, for example, a semiconductor memory such as a ROM, a RAM, or an EEPROM. Note that the storage device 144 is not limited to a semiconductor memory, and may be a hard disk drive or the like.

[0096] For example, the storage device 144 stores, for each production line L1, the number of times that the cover tape 72 has run out. The storage device 144 may also store the total number of times that the tape has run out in a certain period of time.

[0097] On the other hand, in the management system 2, the storage unit 23 stores the number of times that the cover tape 72 has run out, for example, for each feeder 140A or for each carrier tape 7.

[0098] Then, when the component supply device 14A is attached to the mounting device 1, the control device 13 of the mounting device 1 obtains the number of times the tape break has occurred from the storage device 144 of the feeder 140A, and transmits the number of times the tape break has occurred to the management system 2 via the communication device 16. The subsequent processing is the same as that of the management system 2 according to the first embodiment.

[0099] In the component supply system 3A according to the second embodiment, as in the component supply system 3 according to the first embodiment, it is possible to prevent the cover tape 72 from breaking when being wound up.

[0100] The various configurations described in the second embodiment can be adopted in appropriate combination with the various configurations (including modified examples) described in the first embodiment.

[0101] (Aspect) The present specification discloses the following aspects.

[0102] The component supply system (3; 3A) according to the first aspect is a component supply system (3; 3A) that sequentially supplies a plurality of components (100) held on a carrier tape (7) to a component supply position (Po1). The carrier tape (7) has a bottom tape (71) and a cover tape (72) and holds the plurality of components (100) in one direction. The component supply system (3; 3A) includes a feeder (140; 140A) to which the carrier tape (7) is attached, and a control unit (13) that controls the feeder (140; 140A). The feeder (140; 140A) includes a delivery mechanism (141), a peeling mechanism (142), and a winding mechanism (143). The delivery mechanism (141) delivers the carrier tape (7) toward the component supply position (Po1). When the delivery mechanism (141) delivers the carrier tape (7), the peeling mechanism (142) peels the cover tape (72), which is releasably adhered to the bottom tape (71) by an adhesive portion formed along the one direction, from the bottom tape (71). The winding mechanism (143) winds up the cover tape (72) peeled from the bottom tape (71) by the peeling mechanism (142). Based on the tape break information, the control unit (13) changes the winding speed, which is the speed at which the cover tape (72) is wound up by the winding mechanism (143), from a first speed to a second speed that is slower than the first speed. The tape break information is information regarding the number of times a tape break has occurred, which is an event in which the cover tape (72) being wound up by the winding mechanism (143) breaks.

[0103] According to this embodiment, it is possible to prevent the cover tape (72) from breaking when being wound up.

[0104] In the component supply system (3; 3A) according to the second aspect, in the first aspect, the tape break information includes occurrence count information indicating that the number of times that a tape break has occurred in one type of carrier tape (7) is equal to or greater than a threshold value. The control unit (13) changes the winding speed of the winding mechanism (143) in the feeder (140; 140A) to which the one type of carrier tape (7) related to the occurrence count information included in the tape break information is attached from a first speed to a second speed.

[0105] According to this aspect, it is possible to prevent the carrier tape (7) from breaking.

[0106] A component supply system (3; 3A) according to a third aspect includes a plurality of feeders (140; 140A) including a feeder (140; 140A) in the second aspect. The tape-out information includes one or more occurrence count information items that correspond one-to-one to one or more feeders (140; 140A) among the plurality of feeders (140; 140A) to which one type of carrier tape (7) is attached. When the number of one or more occurrence count information items included in the tape-out information is equal to or greater than a specified number, the control unit (13) changes the winding speeds of the plurality of winding mechanisms (143) in the plurality of feeders (140; 140A) from a first speed to a second speed.

[0107] According to this aspect, it is possible to prevent the cover tape (72) from breaking due to the carrier tape (7) for the plurality of feeders (140; 140A).

[0108] In the component supply system (3; 3A) according to the fourth aspect, in the first aspect, the tape break information includes occurrence count information indicating that the number of times that a tape break has occurred in one feeder (140; 140A) is equal to or greater than a threshold value. The control unit (13) changes the winding speed of one winding mechanism (143) in one feeder (140; 140A) related to the occurrence count information included in the tape break information from a first speed to a second speed.

[0109] According to this aspect, it is possible to prevent the tape from breaking due to the feeder (140; 140A).

[0110] In a component supply system (3; 3A) according to a fifth aspect, in the fourth aspect, the tape break information includes one or more occurrence count information items that correspond one-to-one to one or more types of carrier tape (7) among multiple types of carrier tape (7) attached to one feeder (140; 140A). When the number of one or more occurrence count information items included in the tape break information is equal to or greater than a specified number, the control unit (13) changes the winding speed of one winding mechanism (143) in one feeder (140; 140A) from a first speed to a second speed.

[0111] According to this aspect, it is possible to prevent tape breakage caused by the feeder (140; 140A) for a plurality of types of carrier tape (7).

[0112] In the component supply system (3; 3A) according to the sixth aspect, in any one of the first to fifth aspects, the control unit (13) changes the feed speed of the carrier tape (7) fed by the feed mechanism (141) from the third speed to a fourth speed that is slower than the third speed, based on the tape break information.

[0113] According to this embodiment, it is possible to further prevent the cover tape (72) from breaking when being wound up.

[0114] A management system (2) according to a seventh aspect is a management system (2) that manages a mounting device (1). The mounting device (1) holds components (100) sequentially supplied from a carrier tape (7) at a component supply position (Po1) and mounts the held components (100) on a substrate (200). The carrier tape (7) has a bottom tape (71) and a cover tape (72) and holds a plurality of components (100) along one direction. The management system (2) includes a processing unit (21). The processing unit (21) determines parameters related to a feeder (140; 140A) to which the carrier tape (7) is attached. The feeder (140; 140A) includes a feeding mechanism (141), a peeling mechanism (142), and a winding mechanism (143). The feeding mechanism (141) feeds the carrier tape (7) toward the component supply position (Po1). When the feeding mechanism (141) feeds out the carrier tape (7), the peeling mechanism (142) peels the cover tape (72), which is releasably adhered to the bottom tape (71) by an adhesive portion formed along the one direction, from the bottom tape (71). The winding mechanism (143) winds up the cover tape (72) peeled from the bottom tape (71) by the peeling mechanism (142).
