A component mounting line includes a plurality of component mounting apparatuses, each of which mounts solder and a component other than the solder on a substrate. The component mounting line includes: a time limit management unit configured to manage an elapsed time period of a member; and a usability determiner that determines whether the member is usable based on the elapsed time period of the member. The elapsed time period is a time period that has elapsed after the member is exposed to the air, and the member comprises at least one of a substrate, solder, and a component other than the solder.

Component mounting line

An electronic component mounting system configured by joining together a plurality of electronic component mounting apparatuses (M) to (M*), each of which has a first mounting lane (L) and a second mounting lane (L), is configured so as to be able to carry out any one selected from a first operation mode of letting one operation performance mechanism carry out operation performance while taking as a target only a substrate of a substrate conveyance mechanism corresponding to the operation performance mechanism and a second operation mode in which one operation performance mechanism can carry out operation performance while taking as targets all of a plurality of substrates conveyed by a plurality of substrate conveyance mechanisms, and only the two electronic component mounting apparatuses (M*) each of which is equipped with a tray feeder () is brought into the second operation mode.

Electronic component mounting method

Electronic component mounting system

An electronic component mounting system and method is disclosed that can provide accurate operation instruction to a machine operator. The electronic component mounting system comprises a plurality of machines interlinked in series. A main screen, making up an operation instruction screen, is displayed on a display panel belonging to an operation target machine to be operated by the machine operator while a first sub-screen and a second sub-screen of the operation instruction screen are respectively displayed on display panels belonging to two adjacent machines placed adjacently on both sides of the operation target machine among the plurality of machines. Thus, even when a unit device has a small width such that a size restriction is imposed a display panel, accurate operation instruction, with a sufficient amount of information, can be provided by displaying the operation instruction screen on multiple display panels.

Operation instruction display technique for an electronic component mounting system

An component mounter including a warning notification apparatus, which includes a warning generating unit which generates a warning for notifying that an action involving human resource is required, by referring to warning generation information, a warning level judging unit which judges a level of the warning indicating difficulty of an action to be taken in response to the warning by referring to warning level judgment information, and a warning notification unit which specifies an operator permitted to perform the action in response to the warning by referring to execution permission authentication information, and outputs the warning notifying the specified operator of the warning.
