A feeder, which is used through installation in a mounting machine and which is configured to supply components that a mounting machine mounts on a printed circuit board. The feeder is a second type of feeder which is capable of performing a second aspect component supply operation, and is interchangeable with a first type of feeder which performs a first aspect component supply operation. The feeder is configured to transmit feeder information indicating that the feeder is the first type of feeder and perform the first aspect component supply operation when a request for feeder information is received from the mounting machine by a first command, and transmit feeder information indicating that the feeder is the second type of feeder and perform the second aspect component supply operation when a request for feeder information is received from the mounting machine by a second command.

Feeder and mounting machine

An electric-component mounting system including a component-holding device for holding an electric component, a board-supporting device for supporting a printed-wiring board on which the electric component is mounted, a first relative-movement device operable to move the component-holding device and the board-supporting device relative to each other in a first direction parallel to a surface of the board supported by the board-supporting device, a second relative-movement device operable to move the component-holding device and the board-supporting device relative to each other in a second direction which intersects the surface of the board; and a control device including a positioning portion operable to select one of a plurality of different control targets which is used for the first relative-movement device to establish a predetermined relative position between the component-holding device and the board-supporting device, and wherein the positioning portion selects one of the different control targets, depending upon a pattern of control of an operating speed of the first relative-movement device.

Electric-component mounting system for mounting electric component on a circuit substrate

A mounting system for an electric component operates by transferring the electric component from a component supply device to a suction nozzle of a component-holding head on a circuit substrate. A relative position between a sucking surface of the suction nozzle and an axis of rotation of the component-holding head is obtained. A component-holding head and the component supply device are moved relative to each other on the basis of the obtained relative position, so as to minimize an error of relative positioning between the sucking surface and a predetermined sucking position of the electric component positioned at the component-supply portion. The head and the component supply device are then moved toward each other, for transferring the electronic components from the component supply device to the suction nozzle.
