[0001] The present invention relates to a component mounting apparatus and a component mounting system, and more particularly to a component mounting apparatus and a component mounting system that mount components on a board. [Background technology]

[0002] 2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a component mounting system for mounting components on a board is known (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

[0003] The above-mentioned Patent Document 1 discloses a component mounting system for mounting components on a board. This component mounting system includes a plurality of component mounting lines. In this component mounting system, the plurality of component mounting lines include a printer, a plurality of mounting machines, and a reflow furnace. In this component mounting system, a bypass conveyor is provided that connects one component mounting line to the other component mounting line. In addition, this component mounting system is configured such that, when a failure occurs in a mounting machine of one component mounting line, one component mounting line is connected to the other component mounting line via the bypass conveyor to produce boards.

[0004] [Patent Document 1] JP 2013-8930 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] However, in the component mounting system described in Patent Document 1, if a failure occurs in a mounting machine on one component mounting line, the one component mounting line can be connected to the other component mounting line via a bypass conveyor to produce boards, thereby reducing the time that board production is stopped due to the failure. However, there is a problem in that the configuration of the component mounting lines becomes complicated because it is necessary to provide a bypass conveyor that connects one component mounting line to the other component mounting line.

[0006] The present invention has been made to solve the problems described above, and one object of the present invention is to provide a component mounting device and a component mounting system that, even if a malfunction occurs in the component mounting device, can reduce the amount of time that board production is stopped due to a malfunction, while preventing the configuration of the component mounting line from becoming complicated. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] A component mounting device according to a first aspect of the present invention includes a substrate transport unit that transports a substrate, a head unit that mounts components on the substrate, a component supply unit that supplies components to the head unit, and a control unit that, when a failure occurs in the device, determines whether the substrate can be produced by relocating the component supply unit related to the failure within the device or to another component mounting device on the same component mounting line, and, when it is determined that the substrate can be produced, notifies relocation information for relocating the component supply unit.

[0008] In the component mounting device according to the first aspect of the present invention, as described above, when a failure occurs in the own device, a control unit is provided that determines whether or not a board can be produced by relocating a component supply unit related to the failure to another component mounting device in the own device or the same component mounting line, and notifies relocation information for relocating the component supply unit when it is determined that the board can be produced. As a result, since the component supply unit can be relocated to another component mounting device in the own device or the same component mounting line to produce the board, there is no need to provide a bypass conveyor to the other component mounting line. As a result, it is possible to suppress the configuration of the component mounting line from becoming complicated. In addition, since the board can be produced by relocating the component supply unit to another component mounting device in the own device or the same component mounting line, the time during which the production of the board is stopped can be reduced compared to the case where the production of the board is stopped until the failure is repaired. As a result, even when a failure occurs in the component mounting device, the time during which the production of the board is stopped due to the failure can be reduced while suppressing the configuration of the component mounting line from becoming complicated.

[0009] In the component mounting device according to the first aspect, the control unit is preferably configured to determine whether the board can be produced by relocating the component supply unit when the board can be transported by the board transport unit. With this configuration, it is possible to determine whether the board can be produced by relocating the component supply unit when the board can be transported by the board transport unit, and therefore it is possible to avoid unnecessary processing of determining whether the board can be produced by relocating the component supply unit when the board cannot be transported by the board transport unit (when the board cannot be produced even if the component supply unit is relocated).

[0010] In the component mounting device according to the first aspect, the control unit is preferably configured to determine whether the board can be produced by relocating the component supply unit within the device itself, and, if it is determined that the board cannot be produced by relocating the component supply unit within the device itself, to determine whether the board can be produced by relocating the component supply unit to another component mounting device. With this configuration, it is possible to determine with priority that the component supply unit should be relocated within the device itself, so that the component supply unit can be relocated within the device itself as much as possible. As a result, it is possible to reduce the labor required to relocate the component supply unit compared to relocating the component supply unit to another component mounting device. In addition, if the component supply unit cannot be relocated within the device itself, it is possible to determine that the component supply unit should be relocated to another component mounting device, so that the board can be produced as much as possible.

[0011] In the component mounting device according to the first aspect, preferably, a plurality of head units are provided, and the control unit is configured to determine whether or not the board can be produced by relocating the component supply unit associated with the head unit designated by the user as being faulty from among the plurality of head units to within the device itself or to another component mounting device. With this configuration, it is possible to determine to relocate the component supply unit associated with the head unit designated by the user as being faulty from among the plurality of head units, so that it is possible to cope with the failure of some of the head units from among the plurality of head units. In addition, since it is only necessary to cope with the failure of some of the head units from among the plurality of head units, the number of component supply units to be relocated can be reduced. As a result, it is possible to increase the possibility that the board can be produced by relocating the component supply unit, and it is possible to reduce the effort required for relocating the component supply unit when the board can be produced by relocating the component supply unit.

[0012] In the component mounting device according to the first aspect, preferably, the device further includes a plurality of carts on which the component supply units are arranged, and the control unit is configured to determine whether or not the board can be produced by relocating the component supply unit associated with the cart designated by the user as being faulty from among the plurality of carts to within the device itself or to another component mounting device. With this configuration, it is possible to determine to relocate the component supply unit associated with the cart designated by the user as being faulty from among the plurality of carts, so that the failure of some of the carts can be dealt with. In addition, since it is only necessary to deal with the failure of some of the carts from among the plurality of carts, the number of component supply units to be relocated can be reduced. As a result, the possibility that the board can be produced by relocating the component supply unit can be increased, and the labor required for relocating the component supply unit can be reduced when the board can be produced by relocating the component supply unit.

[0013] In the component mounting device according to the first aspect, the control unit is preferably configured to display on the display unit whether to relocate the component supply unit within the device itself or to relocate the component supply unit to another component mounting device when the board can be produced by relocating the component supply unit. With this configuration, it is possible to easily confirm whether to relocate the component supply unit within the device itself or to relocate the component supply unit to another component mounting device, based on the information displayed on the display unit.

[0014] In the component mounting device according to the first aspect, the control unit is preferably configured to display, on the display unit, relocation information including information representing the component supply unit to be relocated and information representing an empty slot at the relocation destination in which the component supply unit to be relocated is to be placed. With this configuration, the relocation information displayed on the display unit makes it easy to confirm the component supply unit to be relocated and the empty slot at the relocation destination in which the component supply unit to be relocated is to be placed, so that the task of relocating the component supply unit can be easily performed.

[0015] In the component mounting device according to the first aspect, the control unit is preferably configured to perform a transportability confirmation operation for confirming whether the board can be transported by the board transport unit. With this configuration, the user does not need to perform an operation of confirming (inspecting) whether the board can be transported by the board transport unit, and therefore the user can save the trouble of confirming whether the board can be transported by the board transport unit.

[0016] In this case, the control unit is preferably configured to perform a transport feasibility confirmation operation based on a user's operation. With this configuration, the user can decide whether or not to perform the transport feasibility confirmation operation, so that when it is clear that the substrate can be transported by the substrate transport unit, the transport feasibility confirmation operation can be avoided unnecessarily, and when it is not clear that the substrate can be transported by the substrate transport unit, the transport feasibility confirmation operation can be effectively used to confirm whether the substrate transport unit can transport the substrate while saving the user's effort.

[0017] A component mounting system according to a second aspect of the present invention includes a component mounting device including a board transport unit that transports a board, a head unit that mounts components on the board, and a component supply unit that supplies components to the head unit, and a control device that, when a failure occurs in the component mounting device, determines whether the board can be produced by relocating the component supply unit related to the failure within the component mounting device or to another component mounting device on the same component mounting line, and, when it is determined that the board can be produced, notifies relocation information for relocating the component supply unit.

[0018] In the component mounting system according to the second aspect of the present invention, as described above, a control device is provided that determines whether the board can be produced by relocating the component supply unit related to the failure within the component mounting device or to another component mounting device in the same component mounting line, and notifies relocation information for relocating the component supply unit if it is determined that the board can be produced. This makes it possible to provide a component mounting system that, like the component mounting device according to the first aspect, can reduce the time that board production is stopped due to a failure while preventing the configuration of the component mounting line from becoming complicated even when a failure occurs in the component mounting device. Effect of the Invention

[0019] According to the present invention, as described above, it is possible to provide a component mounting device and a component mounting system that, even if a malfunction occurs in the component mounting device, can reduce the time that board production is stopped due to the malfunction while preventing the configuration of the component mounting line from becoming complicated.

The production management device 20 is a personal computer configured to be capable of performing various calculations.

[0032] (Configuration of component mounting equipment) Next, the configuration of the component mounting apparatus 13 will be described with reference to Fig. 2 and Fig. 3. In the following description, the board transport direction is defined as the X direction, the direction perpendicular to the X direction in a horizontal plane is defined as the Y direction, and the up-down direction perpendicular to the X direction and Y direction is defined as the Z direction.

[0033] 2 and 3, component mounting apparatus 13 includes a base 1, a board transport section 2, a head unit 3, a head horizontal movement mechanism section 4, a component imaging section 5, a board imaging section 6, a control section 7, a display section 8, and a storage section 9. Note that control section 7 is an example of a "control device" in the claims.

[0034] The base 1 is a base on which each component is arranged in the component mounting device 13. A board transport unit 2, a nozzle stocker 3a, a rail unit 42, and a component imaging unit 5 are provided on the base 1. A control unit 7 is also provided inside the base 1. The base 1 is also provided with a plurality of setting units 101 for setting a dolly 120 on which the component supply unit 110 can be arranged. Specifically, the base 1 is provided with the setting units 101 on both sides in the Y direction (the Y1 direction side and the Y2 direction side).

[0035] The component supply unit 110 is a tape feeder that supplies the components E to be mounted on the board P. Specifically, the component supply unit 110 is configured to supply the components E by feeding a component supply tape (not shown) that stores the components E. The component supply unit 110 is configured to intermittently feed the component supply tape in response to a component holding operation by the head unit 3.

[0036] The component supply units 110 are arranged in a line on the cart 120 and are configured to be set in the setting unit 101. The cart 120 is provided with a plurality of slots 120a in which the component supply units 110 are arranged. The plurality of slots 120a may have an empty slot 120a (indicated by a broken line) in which the component supply unit 110 is not arranged, for example, for preparation of the next type of board P. The cart 120 is also provided with a connector electrically connected to the connector of the component supply unit 110 and a connector electrically connected to the connector of the base 1. The component supply unit 110 is connected to the control unit 7 in the base 1 via the cart 120 so as to be able to communicate with each other, and is configured to perform an operation of supplying the components E under the control of the control unit 7. In the example shown in FIG. 2, two carts 120 are set on the base 1.

[0037] The board transport section 2 is configured to carry in the board P before mounting, transport it in the board transport direction (X direction), and carry out the board P after mounting. The board transport section 2 is configured to transport the carried-in board P to the board fixing position Pa, and fix it at the board fixing position Pa by a board fixing mechanism (not shown). The board transport section 2 includes a pair of transport belts. The board transport section 2 is configured to transport the board P in the board transport direction while supporting both ends of the board P in the width direction (Y direction) from the lower side (Z2 direction side) by the pair of transport belts. The board transport section 2 also includes a board detection section 21 for detecting the board P on the pair of transport belts. The board detection section 21 is configured to include, for example, a photosensor, and detect the presence or absence of the board P by utilizing a change in the optical path caused by the board P.

[0038] The head unit 3 is a head unit for mounting components. A plurality of (two) head units are provided. The head unit 3 mounts components E on the substrate P fixed at the substrate fixing position Pa. The head unit 3 includes a plurality of (five) mounting heads 31. A nozzle (not shown) for holding (sucking) the component E is attached to the tip of the mounting head 31. The nozzle is replaced in a nozzle stocker 3a that holds a plurality of types of nozzles according to the type of component E to be mounted. The mounting head 31 is also configured to be able to hold (suck) the component E on the nozzle by negative pressure supplied from a negative pressure supply unit (not shown). The mounting head 31 is also configured to be able to move in the vertical direction between a lowered position for holding the component E or for mounting the held component E, and an elevated position for transporting the held component E to the substrate P.

[0039] The head unit 3 also includes a Z-axis motor 32 that moves the mounting head 31 in the vertical direction (Z direction), and an R-axis motor 33 that rotates the mounting head 31 about a rotation axis that extends in the vertical direction. The mounting head 31 is configured to be movable in the vertical direction between a predetermined lowered position and a predetermined raised position by the Z-axis motor 32. The mounting head 31 is also configured to be rotated by the R-axis motor 33 while holding the component E, thereby allowing the orientation of the component E that is being picked up to be adjusted.

[0040] The head horizontal movement mechanism 4 is configured to move the head unit 3 in the horizontal direction (X direction and Y direction). The head horizontal movement mechanism 4 includes a support part 41 that supports the head unit 3 movably in the X direction, and a rail part 42 that supports the support part 41 movably in the Y direction. A plurality (two) of the support parts 41 are provided to correspond to a plurality (two) of the head units 3. The support part 41 is configured to move the head unit 3 in the X direction, for example, by an X-axis motor 41a and a ball screw shaft mechanism. The rail part 42 supports both ends of the support part 41 in the X direction movably in the Y direction. The rail part 42 is configured to move the support part 41 in the Y direction, for example, by a Y-axis motor 42a and a ball screw shaft mechanism.

[0041] The two head units 3 are configured to be able to move horizontally independently of each other on the base 1 by the two support parts 41 and the rail parts 42 of the head horizontal movement mechanism part 4. This allows the head unit 3 to move above the component supply part 110 and hold (suck) the component E supplied from the component supply part 110. The head unit 3 can also move above the substrate P fixed at the substrate fixing position Pa and mount the held (sucked) component E on the substrate P. The head unit 3 on the Y1 direction side is configured to obtain the component E from the component supply part 110 on the Y1 direction side. The head unit 3 on the Y2 direction side is configured to obtain the component E from the component supply part 110 on the Y2 direction side.

[0042] The component imaging unit 5 is a camera for component recognition. The component imaging unit 5 images the component E held (sucked) by the nozzle of the mounting head 31 while the head unit 3 is transporting the component E to the board P. The component imaging unit 5 is fixed on the upper surface of the base 1, and images the component E held (sucked) by the nozzle of the mounting head 31 from the lower side (Z2 direction side) of the component E. Based on the image of the component E captured by the component imaging unit 5, the control unit 7 acquires (recognizes) the holding state of the component E (rotational attitude and holding position relative to the mounting head 31).

[0043] The board imaging unit 6 is a camera for board recognition. Before the head unit 3 starts mounting the components E on the board P, the board imaging unit 6 captures an image of a position recognition mark F (fiducial mark) attached to the upper surface of the board P, fixed at the board fixing position Pa, from above. The position recognition mark F is a mark for recognizing the position of the board P. Based on the image of the position recognition mark F captured by the board imaging unit 6, the control unit 7 acquires (recognizes) the accurate position and attitude of the board P fixed at the board fixing position Pa. The board imaging unit 6 is also attached to the head unit 3. The board imaging unit 6 is configured to be movable in the horizontal direction together with the head unit 3.

[0044] The control unit 7 is a control circuit that controls the operation of the component mounting device 13. The control unit 7 includes a CPU (Central Processing Unit), a ROM (Read Only Memory), and a RAM (Random Access Memory). The control unit 7 is configured to control the board transport unit 2, the component supply unit 110, the X-axis motor 41a, the Y-axis motor 42a, and the like based on a component mounting program, thereby causing the head unit 3 to mount components E on the board P, thereby controlling the production of the board P.

[0045] The display unit 8 includes a monitor such as a liquid crystal monitor and is configured to be able to display information. The display unit 8 displays various information related to component mounting. The storage unit 9 includes a recording medium such as a hard disk drive and is configured to be able to store information. The storage unit 9 stores resource information 91. The resource information 91 includes information on the component supply units 110 used in the multiple component mounting devices 13 in the component mounting line 10. Specifically, the resource information 91 includes information on the component supply units 110 for each slot 120a of the cart 120 (information on the presence or absence, component type, and position of the component supply unit 110). Based on the resource information 91, the component mounting device 13 can grasp information on not only the component supply units 110 in its own device, but also the component supply units 110 of other component mounting devices 13 in the same component mounting line 10.

[0046] Here, if a malfunction occurs in component mounting device 13 on component mounting line 10, if production of board P is stopped until the malfunction of component mounting device 13 is repaired, the time that production of board P is stopped will increase, and the operating rate of component mounting line 10 will decrease.

[0047] 4 to 10, in this embodiment, the control unit 7 of the component mounting device 13 where a failure has occurred is configured to determine whether the board P can be produced by relocating the component supply unit 110 related to the failure within the device itself or to another component mounting device 13 of the same component mounting line 10 when the board P can be transported by the board transport unit 2, and to notify relocation information 130 for relocating the component supply unit 110 when it is determined that the board P can be produced, as shown in FIG. 4 to FIG. 10. Specifically, the control unit 7 is configured to display on the display unit 8 the relocation information 130 including information representing the component supply unit 110 to be relocated and information representing the empty slot 120a of the relocation destination in which the component supply unit 110 to be relocated is to be placed.

[0048] The control unit 7 is also configured to determine whether or not the board P can be produced by relocating the component supply unit 110 based on the resource information 91. Specifically, the control unit 7 is configured to extract the component supply unit 110 to be relocated that needs to be relocated based on the resource information 91, extract the empty slot 120a that can be relocated, and determine whether or not the empty slot 120a required for relocating the component supply unit 110 to be relocated exists. The control unit 7 is configured to determine that the board P can be produced by relocating the component supply unit 110 when it is determined that the empty slot 120a required for relocating the component supply unit 110 to be relocated exists. The control unit 7 is also configured to determine that the board P cannot be produced by relocating the component supply unit 110 when it is determined that the empty slot 120a required for relocating the component supply unit 110 to be relocated does not exist.

[0049] In addition, in this embodiment, when it is determined that the board P can be produced by relocating the component supply unit 110, the control unit 7 is configured to display on the display unit 8 the result of the determination as to whether to relocate the component supply unit 110 within its own device or to relocate the component supply unit 110 to another component mounting device 13.

[0050] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the control unit 7 is configured to give priority to judging whether or not the board P can be produced by relocating the component supply unit 110 within its own device. That is, the control unit 7 is configured to judge whether or not the board P can be produced by relocating the component supply unit 110 within its own device, and, if it is judged that the board P cannot be produced by relocating the component supply unit 110 within its own device, to judge whether or not the board P can be produced by relocating the component supply unit 110 to another component mounting device 13.

[0051] Moreover, in this embodiment, the control unit 7 is configured to determine whether or not the board P can be produced by relocating the component supply unit 110 associated with a head unit 3 designated by the user (worker) as being faulty from among the multiple head units 3, to within the own device or another component mounting device 13. Moreover, in this embodiment, the control unit 7 is configured to determine whether or not the board P can be produced by relocating the component supply unit 110 associated with a cart 120 designated by the user (worker) as being faulty from among the multiple carts 120, to within the own device or another component mounting device 13.

[0052] Specifically, the control unit 7 is configured to display a setting screen 140 operated by a user (operator) on the display unit 8. The setting screen 140 has a fault location designation field 140a, a production feasibility determination button 140b, a result display field 140c, a relocation information display button 140d, and a confirmation operation designation field 140e.

[0053] The fault location designation field 140a displays the head unit 3 and the carriage 120 included in the own device as fault designable locations. When a user (worker) is notified of an abnormality from the component mounting device 13, the user (worker) inspects the component mounting device 13. Then, based on the results of the user (worker) inspecting the component mounting device 13, the user (worker) designates the faulty head unit 3 or carriage 120 from among the head units 3 and carriages 120 displayed in the fault location designation field 140a.

[0054] If the cart 120 breaks down, for example, communication with the component supply unit 110 via the cart 120 cannot be performed, and component mounting using the component supply unit 110 arranged on the cart 120 cannot be performed. Also, if the head unit 3 breaks down, component mounting using the broken head unit 3 cannot be performed. For this reason, the broken head unit 3 or cart 120 can be specified in the failure location specification field 140a to skip component mounting using the broken head unit 3 or cart 120.

[0055] The production feasibility determination button 140b is a display button for causing the control unit 7 to perform a process of determining whether or not the board P can be produced by transferring the board P to the control unit 7's own device or to another component mounting device 13. The user (operator) operates the production feasibility determination button 140b in a state where the fault location (head unit 3, cart 120) is specified in the fault location specification field 140a. Then, when the production feasibility determination button 140b is operated, the control unit 7 performs a process of determining whether or not the board P can be produced by transferring the component supply unit 110 related to the fault location (head unit 3, cart 120) specified by the user (operator) to the control unit 7's own device or to another component mounting device 13.

[0056] The result display field 140c displays the result of the determination made by the control unit 7 as to whether production is possible. Specifically, the result display field 140c displays information indicating whether the board P is producible by relocating the component supply unit 110 and information indicating whether the relocation is to within the own device or to another component mounting device 13, as the determination result.

[0057] The relocation information display button 140d is a display button for displaying the relocation information 130 when production is possible by relocating the component supply unit 110. When the words "producible" are displayed in the result display field 140c, the user (worker) operates the relocation information display button 140d. Then, when the relocation information display button 140d is operated, the control unit 7 transitions the screen from the setting screen 140 to display the relocation information 130 indicating the component supply unit 110 to be relocated and the empty slot 120a of the relocation destination on the display unit 8. Then, the user (worker) performs the work of relocating the component supply unit 110 based on the relocation information 130 displayed on the display unit 8.

[0058] The confirmation operation designation field 140e displays information for designating whether or not a transport feasibility confirmation operation for confirming whether or not the board P can be transported by the board transport unit 2 is to be performed by the component mounting device 13. When the user designates that the transport feasibility confirmation operation is to be performed by the component mounting device 13, the control unit 7 performs the transport feasibility confirmation operation based on the operation of the production feasibility determination button 140b. That is, the control unit 7 performs the transport feasibility confirmation operation based on the operation of the user (operator). Note that, when the control unit 7 determines that the board P can be transported by the board transport unit 2 as a result of the transport feasibility confirmation operation, the control unit 7 performs a process for determining whether or not the board P can be produced by relocating the component supply unit 110. On the other hand, when the control unit 7 determines that the board P cannot be transported by the board transport unit 2 as a result of the transport feasibility confirmation operation, the control unit 7 notifies the display unit 8 that the board transport unit 2 is broken without performing a process for determining whether or not the board P can be produced by relocating the component supply unit 110. Furthermore, when the user specifies that the component mounting device 13 should not perform the transport feasibility checking operation, the control unit 7 does not perform the transport feasibility checking operation based on the operation of the production feasibility determination button 140b.

[0059] In the transport feasibility confirmation operation, the control unit 7 is configured to perform control processing to transport the substrate P by the substrate transport unit 2 to a predetermined position (such as a discharge position) that can be detected by the substrate detection unit 21, and to detect the substrate P by the substrate detection unit 21. The control unit 7 is configured to determine that the substrate P can be transported by the substrate transport unit 2 when the substrate detection unit 21 is able to detect the presence of the substrate P. The control unit 7 is also configured to determine that the substrate P cannot be transported by the substrate transport unit 2 (the substrate transport unit 2 is broken) when the substrate detection unit 21 is unable to detect the presence of the substrate P despite having performed control processing to transport the substrate P by the substrate transport unit 2.

[0060] <Cart skip: When moving to own device> Next, a case where a user (operator) determines that one of the multiple (two) carts 120 has broken down and the control unit 7 determines that the component supply unit 110 should be moved into its own device will be described with reference to Fig. 4 and Fig. 5. Note that Fig. 4 and Fig. 5 describe a case where a user specifies that the transport feasibility confirmation operation should not be performed.

[0061] In this case, as shown in FIG. 4, the user (operator) designates "cart 1" as the fault location in the fault location designation field 140a of the setting screen 140, designates that the transport feasibility confirmation operation is not to be performed in the confirmation operation designation field 140e, and operates the production feasibility determination button 140b. Then, the control unit 7 determines whether the board P can be produced by relocating the component supply unit 110 within the own device or to another component mounting device 13 without performing the transport feasibility confirmation operation. At this time, the control unit 7 determines with priority whether the board P can be produced by relocating the component supply unit 110 within the own device. Specifically, the control unit 7 determines whether the board P can be produced by relocating the component supply unit 110 from "cart 1" to "cart 2" of the own device. Information on the part supply units 110 of the “cart 1” and “cart 2” of the own device (information on the presence or absence of the part supply unit 110, the part type, and the location) can be acquired based on the resource information 91.

[0062] In the example shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, five component supply units 110 corresponding to five components E, "AA", "BB", "CC", "DD", and "EE", are arranged on "cart 1". Also, five component supply units 110 corresponding to five components E, "AA", "FF", "GG", "HH", and "II", are arranged on "cart 2". In this case, for the component E, "AA", which is overlapped between "cart 1" and "cart 2", it is possible to mount the component using "cart 2", so there is no need to relocate the component supply unit 110. Therefore, of the five component supply units 110 on "cart 1", four component supply units 110 corresponding to the four components E, "BB", "CC", "DD", and "EE", other than "AA", are extracted by the control unit 7 as component supply units 110 to be relocated that need to be relocated.

[0063] Furthermore, since there are four slots 120a in "cart 2" in which a component supply unit 110 is not arranged, the control unit 7 extracts the four slots 120a as vacant slots 120a to which a component supply unit 110 can be relocated.

[0064] Then, since the number of empty slots 120a available for relocation is equal to or greater than the number of component supply units 110 to be relocated that need to be relocated (here, the same number), the control unit 7 determines that there are empty slots 120a required for relocating the component supply units 110 to be relocated. Then, the control unit 7 determines that the board P can be produced by relocating the component supply units 110 within its own apparatus.

[0065] Then, the control unit 7 displays in the result display field 140c as a judgment result that the board P can be produced by relocating the component supply unit 110 and that the relocation is to the own device. Then, when the user (operator) operates the relocation information display button 140d, the control unit 7 displays the relocation information 130 on the display unit 8. As shown in FIG. 5, the relocation information 130 includes information representing the component supply unit 110 to be relocated (the component supply units 110 in "slot 102", "slot 103", "slot 104" and "slot 105" of "cart 1") and information representing the empty slots 120a to which the component supply unit 110 is to be relocated (the component supply units 110 in "slot 206", "slot 207", "slot 208" and "slot 209" of "cart 2").

[0066] <Cart skip: When moving to another component mounting device> Next, a case will be described with reference to Fig. 6 and Fig. 7 in which a user (operator) determines that one of the multiple (two) carts 120 has broken down and the control unit 7 determines that the component supply unit 110 should be moved to another component mounting device 13. Note that Fig. 6 and Fig. 7 will describe a case in which the user specifies that the transport feasibility confirmation operation should not be performed.

[0067] 6, the user (operator) designates "cart 1" as the fault location in fault location designation field 140a of setting screen 140, designates that the transport feasibility check operation is not to be performed in check operation designation field 140e, and operates production feasibility determination button 140b. Then, control unit 7 determines whether board P can be produced by relocating component supply unit 110 within its own device or to another component mounting device 13 without performing the transport feasibility check operation.

[0068] At this time, the control unit 7 determines first whether the board P can be produced by relocating the component supply unit 110 to the own device, but in the example shown in FIG. 6 and FIG. 7, since there is no free slot 120a in the "cart 2" of the own device, the control unit 7 determines that the board P cannot be produced by relocating the component supply unit 110 to the own device. Then, the control unit 7 determines whether the board P can be produced by relocating the component supply unit 110 to another component mounting device 13. Note that information on the component supply units 110 of the "cart 1" and "cart 2" of the own device and information on the component supply units 110 of the "cart 1" and "cart 2" of the other component mounting device 13 can be acquired based on the resource information 91.

[0069] In the example shown in Fig. 6 and Fig. 7, five component supply units 110 corresponding to five components E, "AA", "BB", "CC", "DD", and "EE", are arranged on "cart 1" of the own device. Furthermore, nine component supply units 110 corresponding to nine components E, "AA", "FF", "GG", "HH", "II", "JJ", "KK", "LL", and "MM", are arranged on "cart 2" of the own device. Furthermore, five component supply units 110 corresponding to five components E, "BB", "PP", "QQ", "RR", and "EE", are arranged on "cart 1" of another component mounting device 13.

[0070] In this case, for the component E of "AA" that overlaps between "cart 1" and "cart 2" of the own device, the component can be mounted using "cart 2" of the own device, so there is no need to relocate the component supply unit 110. Similarly, for the component E of "BB" that overlaps between "cart 1" of the own device and "cart 1" of another component mounting device 13, the component can be mounted using "cart 1" of the other component mounting device 13, so there is no need to relocate the component supply unit 110. Therefore, of the five component supply units 110 of "cart 1" of the own device, three component supply units 110 corresponding to the three components E of "CC", "DD", and "EE" other than "AA" and "BB" are extracted by the control unit 7 as component supply units 110 to be relocated that need to be relocated.

[0071] In addition, since there are three slots 120a in the "cart 1" of another component mounting device 13 in which a component supply unit 110 is not placed, the control unit 7 extracts the three slots 120a as vacant slots 120a that can be relocated.

[0072] Then, since the number of empty slots 120a available for relocation is equal to or greater than the number of component supply units 110 to be relocated that need to be relocated (here, the same number), the control unit 7 determines that there are empty slots 120a required for relocating the component supply units 110 to be relocated. Then, the control unit 7 determines that the board P can be produced by relocating the component supply units 110 to another component mounting apparatus 13.

[0073] Then, the control unit 7 displays in the result display field 140c as a judgment result that the board P can be produced by relocating the component supply unit 110 and that the component supply unit 110 is to be relocated to another component mounting apparatus 13. Then, when the user (operator) operates the relocation information display button 140d, the control unit 7 displays the relocation information 130 on the display unit 8. As shown in FIG. 7, the relocation information 130 includes information representing the component supply unit 110 to be relocated (the component supply units 110 in "slot 103", "slot 104" and "slot 105" of "cart 1" of the own apparatus) and information representing the empty slot 120a to be relocated (the "slot 106", "slot 107" and "slot 108" of "cart 1" of the other component mounting apparatus 13).

[0074] In the examples shown in Figures 4 to 7, for convenience, we have described the case where "cart 1" fails, but the same applies to the case where "cart 2," "head 1," or "head 2" fails.

[0075] <Equipment skip: When the board transport unit is broken> Next, referring to Figure 8, we will explain a case where a user (operator) determines that a component mounting device 13 including multiple head units 3 and multiple (two) carts 120 has broken down, the user specifies that a transport feasibility check operation should be performed, and the control unit 7 determines that the board transport unit 2 has broken down.

[0076] 8, the user (operator) specifies "Cart 1", "Cart 2", "Head 1" and "Head 2" as the fault locations in the fault location specification field 140a of the setting screen 140, specifies that a transport feasibility confirmation operation is to be performed in the confirmation operation specification field 140e, and operates the production feasibility determination button 140b. Then, the control unit 7 performs the transport feasibility confirmation operation.

[0077] 8, even though a control process was performed to transport substrate P to a predetermined position by substrate transport unit 2, substrate detection unit 21 was unable to detect the presence of substrate P at the predetermined position, and so control unit 7 determines that substrate P cannot be transported by substrate transport unit 2 (substrate transport unit 2 has broken down). Then, control unit 7 displays in result display field 140c as a determination result that substrate P cannot be produced by relocating component supply unit 110, and that substrate transport unit 2 has broken down.

[0078] <Equipment skip: When transferring to another component mounting equipment> Next, a case will be described with reference to Figures 9 and 10 in which a user (operator) determines that a component mounting device 13 including multiple head units 3 and multiple (two) carts 120 has broken down, and the control unit 7 determines that the component supply unit 110 should be moved to another component mounting device 13. Note that Figures 9 and 10 describe a case in which a user specifies that a transport feasibility check operation should be performed, and the control unit 7 determines that the board P can be transported by the board transport unit 2.

[0079] 9, the user (operator) specifies "Cart 1", "Cart 2", "Head 1" and "Head 2" as the fault locations in the fault location specification field 140a of the setting screen 140, specifies that a transport feasibility confirmation operation is to be performed in the confirmation operation specification field 140e, and operates the production feasibility determination button 140b. Then, the control unit 7 performs the transport feasibility confirmation operation.

[0080] In the example shown in FIG. 9, as a result of performing a control process to transport the board P to a predetermined position by the board transport unit 2, the board detection unit 21 can detect the presence of the board P at the predetermined position, and the control unit 7 determines that the board P can be transported by the board transport unit 2. Then, the control unit 7 determines whether the board P can be produced by relocating the component supply unit 110 in the own device or to another component mounting device 13. In the example shown in FIG. 9 and FIG. 10, since all of the "cart 1", "cart 2", "head 1" and "head 2" of the own device are broken, the control unit 7 determines whether the board P can be produced by relocating the component supply unit 110 to another component mounting device 13. Note that information on the component supply units 110 of the "cart 1" and "cart 2" of the own device and information on the component supply units 110 of the "cart 1" and "cart 2" of the other component mounting device 13 can be acquired based on the resource information 91.

[0081] Although detailed description will be omitted, similarly to the examples shown in FIGS. 3 to 7, the control unit 7 extracts the component supply units 110 that are to be relocated and are targets for relocation, and also extracts vacant slots 120a into which the relocation can be made.

[0082] Then, since the number of empty slots 120a available for relocation is equal to or greater than the number of component supply units 110 to be relocated that need to be relocated (here, the same number), the control unit 7 determines that there are empty slots 120a required for relocating the component supply units 110 to be relocated. Then, the control unit 7 determines that the board P can be produced by relocating the component supply units 110 to another component mounting apparatus 13.

[0083] Then, the control unit 7 displays in the result display field 140c as a determination result that the board P can be produced by relocating the component supply unit 110 and that the relocation is to another component mounting apparatus 13. Then, when the user (operator) operates the relocation information display button 140d, the control unit 7 displays the relocation information 130 on the display unit 8. As shown in Fig. 10, the relocation information 130 includes information representing the component supply unit 110 to be relocated and information representing the empty slot 120a of the relocation destination.

[0084] (Control process for component mounting device failure) Next, a control process regarding a failure of the component mounting device 13 will be described based on a flowchart with reference to Fig. 11. Note that each process in the flowchart is performed by the control unit 7 of the component mounting device 13 in which the failure has occurred.

[0085] When a user (operator) inputs information into the fault location specification field 140a and the check operation specification field 140e and operates the production feasibility determination button 140b, the control process is started.

[0086] 11, first, in step S101, it is determined whether or not to perform a transport feasibility checking operation. If the user (operator) has specified in the checking operation specification field 140e that the transport feasibility checking operation is not to be performed, it is determined that the transport feasibility checking operation is not to be performed, and the process proceeds to step S105. If the user (operator) has specified in the checking operation specification field 140e that the transport feasibility checking operation is to be performed, it is determined that the transport feasibility checking operation is to be performed, and the process proceeds to step S102.

[0087] Then, in step S102, a control process is performed in which substrate P on substrate transport section 2 is transported to a predetermined position (such as a discharge position) by substrate transport section 2. Then, a detection operation of substrate P by substrate detection section 21 is performed.

[0088] Then, in step S103, it is determined whether or not the substrate P has been detected by the substrate detection unit 21. If it is determined that the substrate P has not been detected by the substrate detection unit 21, the process proceeds to step S104.

[0089] Then, in step S104, a notice of a malfunction of the board transport unit 2 is issued. Specifically, the result display field 140c displays that the board P cannot be produced by relocating the component supply unit 110, and that the board transport unit 2 has malfunctioned. Then, the control process is terminated.

[0090] Moreover, in step S103, if it is determined that the substrate P has been detected by the substrate detection unit 21, the process proceeds to step S105.

[0091] Then, in step S105, it is determined whether or not the device is skipped. Specifically, it is determined whether or not all of the head units 3 and the carriages 120 are specified by the user (operator) in the failure location specification field 140a. If all of the head units 3 and the carriages 120 are specified by the user in the failure location specification field 140a, it is determined that the device is skipped, and the process proceeds to step S108. If not all of the head units 3 and the carriages 120 are specified by the user in the failure location specification field 140a, it is determined that the device is not skipped, and the process proceeds to step S106.

[0092] Then, in step S106, it is determined whether or not it is an individual skip. Specifically, it is determined whether or not any of the multiple head units 3 and the multiple carts 120 are specified by the user (operator) in the failure location specification field 140a. If all of the multiple head units 3 and the multiple carts 120 are not specified by the user (operator) in the failure location specification field 140a, it is determined that it is not an individual skip, and the control process is terminated. Also, if any of the multiple head units 3 and the multiple carts 120 are specified by the user in the failure location specification field 140a, it is determined that it is an individual skip, and the process proceeds to step S107.

[0093] Then, in step S107, it is determined whether or not the board P can be produced by relocating the component supply unit 110 within the own device. If an empty slot 120a necessary for relocating the component supply unit 110 to be relocated exists within the own device, it is determined that the board P can be produced by relocating the component supply unit 110 within the own device, and the process proceeds to step S110. If an empty slot 120a necessary for relocating the component supply unit 110 to be relocated does not exist within the own device, it is determined that the board P cannot be produced by relocating the component supply unit 110 within the own device, and the process proceeds to step S108.

[0094] Then, in step S108, it is determined whether or not the board P can be produced by relocating the component supply unit 110 to another component mounting apparatus 13. If an empty slot 120a necessary for relocating the component supply unit 110 to be relocated exists in the other component mounting apparatus 13, it is determined that the board P can be produced by relocating the component supply unit 110 to the other component mounting apparatus 13, and the process proceeds to step S110. If an empty slot 120a necessary for relocating the component supply unit 110 to be relocated does not exist in the other component mounting apparatus 13, it is determined that the board P cannot be produced by relocating the component supply unit 110 to the other component mounting apparatus 13, and the process proceeds to step S109.

[0095] Then, in step S109, a message is displayed in result display field 140c indicating that board P cannot be produced due to the relocation of component supply unit 110. Then, the control process is terminated.

[0096] Furthermore, when the process proceeds to step S110, in step S110, the result display field 140c displays, as a judgment result, that the board P can be produced by relocating the component supply unit 110, and that the relocation is within the own apparatus or to another component mounting apparatus 13. Furthermore, when the user (operator) operates the relocation information display button 140d, relocation information 130 including information representing the component supply unit 110 to be relocated and information representing the empty slot 120a at the relocation destination is displayed on the display unit 8. Then, the control process is terminated.

[0097] (Effects of this embodiment) In this embodiment, the following effects can be obtained.

[0098] In this embodiment, as described above, when a failure occurs in the own device, the control unit 7 is provided to determine whether the board P can be produced by relocating the component supply unit 110 related to the failure to another component mounting device 13 in the own device or the same component mounting line 10, and to notify relocation information 130 for relocating the component supply unit 110 when it is determined that the board P can be produced. As a result, since the component supply unit 110 can be relocated to another component mounting device 13 in the own device or the same component mounting line 10 to produce the board P, it is not necessary to provide a bypass conveyor to the other component mounting line 10. As a result, it is possible to suppress the configuration of the component mounting line 10 from becoming complicated. In addition, since the board P can be produced by relocating the component supply unit 110 to another component mounting device 13 in the own device or the same component mounting line 10, it is possible to reduce the time during which the production of the board P is stopped compared to the case where the production of the board P is stopped until the failure is repaired. As a result, even when a failure occurs in the component mounting device 13, it is possible to reduce the time during which the production of the board P is stopped due to the failure while suppressing the configuration of the component mounting line 10 from becoming complicated.

[0099] Furthermore, in this embodiment, as described above, the control unit 7 is configured to determine whether or not the substrate P can be produced by relocating the component supply unit 110 when the substrate P can be transported by the substrate transport unit 2. This makes it possible to determine whether or not the substrate P can be produced by relocating the component supply unit 110 when the substrate P can be transported by the substrate transport unit 2, thereby making it possible to avoid the unnecessary process of determining whether or not the substrate P can be produced by relocating the component supply unit 110 when the substrate P cannot be transported by the substrate transport unit 2 (when the substrate P cannot be produced even if the component supply unit 110 is relocated).

[0100] In addition, in this embodiment, as described above, the control unit 7 is configured to determine whether the board P can be produced by relocating the component supply unit 110 to its own device, and, if it is determined that the board P cannot be produced by relocating the component supply unit 110 to its own device, to determine whether the board P can be produced by relocating the component supply unit 110 to another component mounting device 13. This allows the control unit 7 to determine with priority the relocation of the component supply unit 110 to its own device, so that the component supply unit 110 can be relocated to its own device as much as possible. As a result, the labor required to relocate the component supply unit 110 can be reduced compared to the case of relocating the component supply unit 110 to another component mounting device 13. In addition, if the component supply unit 110 cannot be relocated to its own device, it can determine the relocation of the component supply unit 110 to another component mounting device 13, so that the board P can be produced as much as possible.

[0101] In addition, in this embodiment, as described above, a plurality of head units 3 are provided. The control unit 7 is configured to determine whether or not the board P can be produced by relocating the component supply unit 110 associated with the head unit 3 designated by the user as being faulty from among the plurality of head units 3 to within the own device or another component mounting device 13. This allows the control unit 7 to determine that the component supply unit 110 associated with the head unit 3 designated by the user as being faulty from among the plurality of head units 3 is to be relocated, so that the control unit 7 can also respond to the failure of some of the head units 3 among the plurality of head units 3. In addition, since it is only necessary to respond to the failure of some of the head units 3 among the plurality of head units 3, the number of component supply units 110 to be relocated can be reduced. As a result, the possibility that the board P can be produced by relocating the component supply unit 110 can be increased, and when the board P can be produced by relocating the component supply unit 110, the labor required for relocating the component supply unit 110 can be reduced.

[0102] In the present embodiment, as described above, the component mounting device 13 includes a plurality of carts 120 on which the component supply units 110 are arranged. The control unit 7 is configured to determine whether or not the board P can be produced by relocating the component supply unit 110 associated with the cart 120 designated by the user as being faulty from among the plurality of carts 120 to the control unit 7's own device or to another component mounting device 13. This allows the control unit 7 to determine that the component supply unit 110 associated with the cart 120 designated by the user as being faulty from among the plurality of carts 120 should be relocated, so that the control unit 7 can also respond to the faults of some of the carts 120 among the plurality of carts 120. In addition, since it is only necessary to respond to the faults of some of the carts 120 among the plurality of carts 120, the number of the component supply units 110 to be relocated can be reduced. As a result, the possibility that the board P can be produced by relocating the component supply unit 110 can be increased, and the labor required for relocating the component supply unit 110 can be reduced when the board P can be produced by relocating the component supply unit 110.

[0103] Furthermore, in this embodiment, as described above, when the board P can be produced by relocating the component supply unit 110, the control unit 7 is configured to display on the display unit 8 whether to relocate the component supply unit 110 within its own apparatus or to relocate the component supply unit 110 to another component mounting apparatus 13. This makes it possible to easily confirm, based on the information displayed on the display unit 8, whether to relocate the component supply unit 110 within its own apparatus or to relocate the component supply unit 110 to another component mounting apparatus 13.

[0104] Furthermore, in this embodiment, as described above, the control unit 7 is configured to display relocation information 130 including information representing the component supply unit 110 to be relocated and information representing the empty slot 120a of the relocation destination in which the component supply unit 110 to be relocated will be placed, on the display unit 8. As a result, the relocation information 130 displayed on the display unit 8 makes it possible to easily confirm the component supply unit 110 to be relocated and the empty slot 120a of the relocation destination in which the component supply unit 110 to be relocated will be placed, and therefore the task of relocating the component supply unit 110 can be easily performed.

[0105] Furthermore, in this embodiment, as described above, the control unit 7 is configured to perform a transport feasibility confirmation operation to confirm whether or not the substrate P can be transported by the substrate transport unit 2. This eliminates the need for the user to perform the task of confirming (inspecting) whether or not the substrate P can be transported by the substrate transport unit 2, thereby eliminating the need for the user to perform the task of confirming whether or not the substrate P can be transported by the substrate transport unit 2.

[0106] In this embodiment, as described above, the control unit 7 is configured to perform a transport feasibility confirmation operation based on a user's operation. This allows the user to decide whether or not to perform the transport feasibility confirmation operation, so that when it is clear that the substrate P can be transported by the substrate transport unit 2, the transport feasibility confirmation operation can be avoided unnecessarily, and when it is not clear that the substrate P can be transported by the substrate transport unit 2, the transport feasibility confirmation operation can be effectively used to confirm whether the substrate transport unit 2 can transport the substrate while saving the user's effort.

[0107] [Variations] The embodiments disclosed herein should be considered to be illustrative and not restrictive in all respects. The scope of the present invention is indicated by the claims, not by the description of the embodiments above, and further includes all modifications (variations) within the meaning and scope of the claims.

[0108] For example, in the above embodiment, an example was shown in which the control unit of the component mounting device performs the control process of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to this. In the present invention, the production management device may perform the control process of the present invention. That is, when a failure occurs in the component mounting device, the production management device may be configured to determine whether or not a board can be produced by relocating a component supply unit related to the failure within the component mounting device or to another component mounting device on the same component mounting line, and to notify relocation information for relocating the component supply unit if it is determined that the board can be produced. In this case, the production management device is an example of a "control device" in the claims.

[0109] In the above embodiment, an example is shown in which the component supply unit is relocated when a failure occurs in the component mounting device, but the present invention is not limited to this. In the present invention, when a failure occurs in the component mounting device, the component supply unit and the nozzle stocker may be relocated.
