AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

The setup time for nozzle feeders in component mounters increases significantly as the number of suction nozzles housed in the nozzle station increases, due to the need to acquire and store information related to each nozzle each time the feeder is equipped.

Method used

A nozzle information management device and method that acquires and stores feeder, station, and nozzle identification information outside the substrate work line, allowing for centralized management of nozzle information.

🎯Benefits of technology

Reduces setup time by eliminating the need to repeatedly acquire and store nozzle information each time a feeder is equipped, improving operational efficiency.

Abstract

This nozzle information management device includes an acquisition unit and a storage unit. The acquisition unit acquires, in a work area outside a substrate work line in which a component mounting machine is disposed, feeder identification information, which is information that allows identification of a nozzle supply feeder including a nozzle station in which suction nozzles for sucking components can be contained by being arranged in a planar configuration, station identification information, which is information that allows identification of the nozzle station, and nozzle identification information, which is information that allows identification of the suction nozzles contained in the nozzle station. The storage unit stores the nozzle identification information, station identification information and feeder identification information acquired by the acquisition unit in association with each other.
