A board work system includes a moving device configured to move over an XY-plane, a lighting device attached to the moving device, a monochromatic camera attached to the moving device, and an image processing device. The image processing device selects one or multiple monochromatic lights based on a target object and, when the image processing device selects one monochromatic light, the image processing device causes the lighting device and the monochromatic camera to capture a monochromatic image of the target object which is illuminated with the one monochromatic light and sets the monochromatic image of the target object as a target object inspection image. When the image processing device selects multiple monochromatic lights, the image processing device captures monochromatic images of the target object illuminated with the monochromatic lights and sets a composite image where the monochromatic images are combined as a target object inspection image.

A component mounting machine includes a mark imaging camera that images a board mark of a circuit board and has a function of identifying an identification target, such as a character attached to an upper surface of a component supplied by a component supply device. An illumination light source illuminates the identification target on the upper surface of the component imaged by the mark imaging camera and is attached to a lower portion of an electric component holding frame provided to protrude to the side of the mounting head. As the identification target on the upper surface of the component, which is illuminated by the illumination light source from obliquely above, is imaged by the mark imaging camera from above and the image is processed, the identification target on the upper surface of the component is identified.

A component mounting system includes multiple component mounting lines where multiple component mounters and a feeder storage are aligned along a board conveyance direction, a feeder exchange device configured to move along the board conveyance direction to exchange the feeder between the component mounter and the feeder storage of the component mounting line in charge, and a memory device. The feeder exchange device is configured to store an in-process feeder in the feeder storage of the component mounting line in charge, when it is determined, based on production information and feeder information, that there is the in-process feeder that was used in the component mounting line in charge and is scheduled to be used in another component mounting line.

Component mounting system

A component mounting system that includes a component mounter in which multiple component supply units are detachably arranged in a supply area and mounts components on a board based on a job. The system performs a preparatory arrangement control for dividing the component supply units required for the job into multiple, and controlling the unit exchange device to make an arrangement of the component supply units in each group match an arrangement order in the supply area, and a supply arrangement control for controlling the unit exchange device to automatically exchange the component supply units, and to arrange the component supply units required for the job after switching in the supply area.

The control device is configured to acquire board information including at least a weight of the circuit board and to control the clamping force of the board clamp device based on the acquired board information.

Electronic component mounting machine

A component mounting includes an external monitoring camera that images an outside work area that is an area outside of the component mounting machine at which an operator performs work with respect to the component mounting machine. The outside work area of the component mounting machine includes at least an area where a feeder is set, and a monitoring target is at least a state during and after completion of setting the feeder on the component mounting machine and during and after completion of setting component supply tape on the feeder. By looking at a recorded image or a real time image displayed on a display device by using the external monitoring camera to capture an outside work area of the component mounting machine, it is possible to check the state of the monitoring target on which an operator performed work in the outside work area of the component mounter.

A component mounting machine includes multiple component supplying devices, a head, a head moving device, and a nozzle lifting and lowering device. The component supplying device feeds out a component to a component supply position. The head includes multiple nozzles configured to suction a component. The head moving device moves the head to cause the nozzles to face the respective component supply positions with two or more thereof. The nozzle lifting and lowering device lifts and lowers the nozzle located to face the component supply positions. In positioning the nozzles to face the respective component supply positions, the head is moved so as to prioritize a positional correction of a nozzle facing a smallest sized component over positional corrections of the other nozzles, and in this state, the nozzles facing the respective component supply positions are lifted and lowered simultaneously to suction corresponding components.
