Feed pitch check method and program

Abstract

To determine whether a setting value of a feed pitch of a component supply tape is appropriate.SOLUTION: A feed pitch check method that checks a feed pitch setting value set for each component P in advance in order to create a production program for a component mounting apparatus 10 that includes a feeder 13 that supplies the components P while feeding a component supply tape 16 on which components P are held at regular intervals at a constant feed pitch, and determines whether the setting value is appropriate on the basis of component data 60 including the component size of the component P.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 6
