A component mounting method of mounting a component onto a board by a component mounting apparatus which includes a transportation device having a plurality of rails capable of transporting a plurality of boards in parallel is provided. The method includes positioning the rails so that a center of a mounting area in a forward-backward direction is at an intermediate position between corresponding parts of two component supply units, the mounting area covering an area in which two mounting heads mount components on one or more of the boards which are transported by the transportation device, and the intermediate position being equally distant in the forward-backward direction from the two component supply units; and alternately mounting the components in the mounting area between the two mounting heads.

Component mounting method and component mounting apparatus

A challenge to be met by the invention is to provide an electronic component mounting machine that makes up an electronic component mounting line and that standardizes an operation input method, to thus enable lessening of work load on an operator during performance of operation input action, and an operation instruction method for use with the electronic component mounting machine. In electronic component mounting machines that make it possible for a single machine to perform a plurality of types of works by replacement of a work head to be built into a common platform according to a type of work, a production start button to a model change button are provided as common individual input parts in a basic operation command input part of a display panel of an operation unit regardless of a work type. Control processing and computation processing commensurate with an operation instruction entered by way of the individual input part are performed according to a work program and a computation processing program corresponding to the work head recognized by a plug-in function.

Electronic component mounting machine and operating instruction method for the same

An object is to provide an electronic component mounting method in which an adequate component mounting work to which a check result is correctly reflected is enabled and it is possible to satisfy both reduction of the failure occurrence rate and improvement of the working efficiency. An electronic component mounting apparatus in which an appearance checking section which checks a board to detect existence or non-existence of a failure item, and a component mounting section which transfers and mounts an allocated mounting object component to the board in which the check is ended are integrally disposed includes a mounting availability determination processing sectionwhich determines an availability of an execution of an operation of mounting the mounting object component, based on a result of detection of a failure item. In a mounting availability determining process, an availability of an execution of a mounting operation for the mounting object component is automatically determined based on preset failure patterns of the detection result.

Device and method for mounting electronic components

It is an objective to provide a part-mounting method that, even when parts are extremely small, makes it possible to mount the parts at a repair-requiring location without fail, to thus enhance a percentage of a non-defective substrate. In a part-mounting method, inspection is made as to whether or not a parts-missing location exists on a substrate Pb reloaded between a solder printerand a first part-mounting machineA after having undergone manual repair by an operator OP, or the like, in connection with a repair-requiring location found through inspection performed after mounting of parts Pt, by use of an inspection cameraA of a first part-mounting machineA. When a parts-missing location on the substrate Pb is found, the parts-missing location is identified. Subsequently, a mounting headA of the first part-mounting machineA and a mounting headB of a second part-mounting machineB mount a part Pt at the parts-missing location on the thus-identified substrate Pb.

Part-mounting, inspecting and repairing method

A mount state of components is inspected in a mounting apparatusat total two divisions of a component mounting division b where the mounting apparatusperforms mounting and a component mounting division a where a mounting apparatusdisposed on an upstream side performs the mounting; the mount state of components is inspected in a mounting apparatusat total three divisions of a component mounting division c where the mounting apparatusperforms the mounting and the component mounting divisions a and b where the mounting apparatusanddisposed on the upstream side perform the mounting; and the mount state of components is inspected in a mounting apparatusat total four divisions of a component mounting division d where the mounting apparatusperforms the mounting and the component mounting divisions a, b, and c where the mounting apparatus,, anddisposed on the upstream side perform the mounting. In this way, since a step in which abnormal mounting occurs can be easily specified and an effective solution can be established at a predetermined location or item, the abnormality can be easily solved.
