Solution Overview

Problem

Existing control programs for board work machines may include operation instructions that are not appropriate for the quality requirements of the board products being produced, leading to potential issues in the production process.

Innovation Solution

A control program check device that includes a reference data storage section for manufacturer-set determination references and a condition data storage section for user-set higher-level determination conditions, allowing for a more reliable assessment of the control program's quality.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a dedicated check device uses determination references set by the manufacturer for each determination item, then the basic operation capability of the board work machine can be verified, but the quality requirements specific to different board products cannot be reliably determined

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvequality determination reliabilityVSAvoidadaptability to different board products
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The determination condition is made dynamic and adjustable through the storage section that holds multiple determination conditions with different determination items. Users can select and modify determination conditions based on specific board product requirements, transforming the static manufacturer-set reference into a dynamic, adaptable system that maintains reliability while achieving versatility across different products.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Measurement precision

If the determination reference is set by the manufacturer for general operation capability, then the check device can verify basic machine operations, but it cannot determine whether operation instructions are appropriate for specific board product quality requirements

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvequality assessment precisionVSAvoidcheck device complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

Multiple determination conditions are pre-configured and stored in the storage section, each with specific determination items tailored to different board product quality requirements. This preliminary preparation allows the determination section to quickly select and apply the appropriate determination condition without real-time complexity, achieving high measurement precision while maintaining manageable device complexity through advance setup.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Reliability

If only manufacturer-set determination references are used, then the control program can be checked for basic operational propriety, but more stringent quality requirements set by users cannot be enforced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvequality control reliabilityVSAvoidease of quality standard customization
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables self-service quality control by allowing users to select and configure determination conditions based on their specific board product requirements. The storage section holds multiple pre-prepared determination conditions that users can easily select and modify, empowering them to enforce their own quality standards without requiring manufacturer intervention, thus improving both reliability and ease of operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

AI summary

A control program check device including: a reference data storage section configured to store reference data in which a determination reference for an execution propriety of the production process using the control program is set by a manufacturer of the board work machine for each of multiple determination items; a condition data storage section configured to store condition data in which a determination condition that is set to a level higher than the determination reference for at least a part of the multiple determination items is set by a user of the board work machine for each of the determination items; and a determination section configured to determine good or bad quality of the control program based on the reference data and the condition data in the check process.
