Feeder Editing Control Based on Component Loading State
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Electronic components may remain on feeders during type changes, leading to incorrect component types being supplied when management information is updated, risking the wrong components being used in the manufacturing process.
Innovation Solution
A feeder management device that controls editing of management information based on the loading state of electronic components, ensuring that only accurate updates are made to prevent incorrect component types from being supplied.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If management information is updated when electronic components remain on the feeder, then the component type information can be changed, but incorrect component types may be supplied
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary detection of electronic components on the feeder before allowing management information updates. The editing control section checks whether components are present, and only permits updates when the feeder is empty, preventing incorrect component type registration
2Ease of operation
If electronic components remain on the feeder during type changes, then component exchange is flexible, but wrong components may be used
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements feedback by detecting the presence of electronic components on the feeder and using this information to control whether management information can be updated. The editing control section receives feedback about component presence and accordingly permits or blocks updates to prevent wrong component usage

AI summary
Provided is a feeder management device that appropriately controls editing of management information related to feeders so as to prevent electronic components of an incorrect type being supplied. The feeder management device includes: a data management section including management data in which a component type of an electronic component loaded on each of the feeders is linked to an identification code that specifies each of the multiple feeders; and an editing control section configured to determine whether editing is allowable based on a loading state of the electronic component on the feeder in a case in which editing of the management information is attempted to be performed in accordance with a change to the component type linked to the identification code of the feeder.
