A work system includes a mounting system which mounts a component on a board and an unmanned conveyance system having an unmanned conveyance vehicle. The unmanned conveyance system includes a first notifier which notifies the mounting system of an arrival notification indicating that the unmanned conveyance vehicle transfers the feeder carriage to a position where an operation of connecting the feeder carriage to the base starts, and a first processor which causes the unmanned conveyance vehicle to travel in a direction away from the base upon receiving, from the mounting system, a connection completion indicating that a connection of the feeder carriage is completed. The mounting system includes a second processor which causes the connection mechanism to connect the feeder carriage upon receiving the arrival notification, and a second notifier which notifies the unmanned conveyance system of the connection completion upon being informed of completion of the connection.

Work system and feeder carriage transfer method

There is provided a component mounter that conveys in a board having a product area in which a pattern electrode incorporated in an electrical product is disposed and an inspection area in which an inspection electrode for inspecting electrical characteristics is disposed, and conveys out the board after repeatedly executing an operation of picking up a component supplied by a component feeder and installing the component in the product area according to an installation sequence program, the device including: target event occurrence detector for detecting occurrence of an event that requires inspection of the electrical characteristics with respect to the component supplied by the component feeder; a determiner for determining whether or not the inspection area is vacant; and inspection-required component installer for installing the component picked up from the component feeder in the inspection area as an inspection-required component, in a case where the target event occurrence detector detects the occurrence of the event and the determiner determines that the inspection area is vacant.

Component mounting device and component mounting method

A component mounting system includes a plurality of component mounters, a characteristic inspection device, and a management device. Each of the component mounters transmits inspection area component information including identification information of the corresponding component mounter, information of a conveyed-in board, and identification information of an inspection-required component installed in an inspection area, to the management device. The characteristic inspection device determines whether or not the inspection-required component installed in the inspection area is an error component, and transmits the information on the determined inspection-required component to the management device as error information. The management device specifies the component mounter in which the inspection-required component determined to be an error component is installed in the inspection area as an error component mounter, based on the transmitted error information, and stops an operation of the identified component mounter.

Component mounting system

A work system includes a mounting system which mounts a component on a board and an unmanned conveyance system having an unmanned conveyance vehicle. The unmanned conveyance system includes a first notifier which notifies the mounting system of an arrival notification indicating that the unmanned conveyance vehicle arrives at a position where separating the feeder carriage from the base starts, and a first processor which causes the unmanned conveyance vehicle to travel in a direction away from the base upon receiving, from the mounting system, a release notification indicating that a connection of the feeder carriage is released. The mounting system includes a second processor which causes the connection mechanism to release the connection of the feeder carriage upon receiving the arrival notification, and a second notifier which notifies the unmanned conveyance system of the release notification upon being informed of completion of the release operation.

In an electronic component mounting systemconfigured by coupling electronic component mounting devices Mto MA each having a first substrate transport mechanismA and a second substrate transport mechanismB together, the electronic component mounting device MA includes a first tray feederA that stores an electronic component extracted by a first mounting headA of a component mounting mechanism as a first work operation mechanism, and a second tray feederB that stores an electronic component extracted by a second mounting headB of a component mounting mechanism as a second work operation mechanism.
