A distribution system is linked to a delivery vehicle delivering a product stored in a warehouse to a delivery destination and includes an automatic conveyance device and an automatic conveyance device server. An automatic conveyance device server transmits a release instruction to an automatic conveyance device when receiving a request for delivery, transmits a loading instruction for loading of a product to a delivery vehicle to the automatic conveyance device when receiving loading permission, and transmits a release completion notification to a transmitter of a delivery request when receiving information indicating the releasing is completed. An automatic conveyance device picks up a designated product in a warehouse when receiving a release instruction, loads the picked-up product to a delivery vehicle standing by at a standby position when receiving a loading instruction, and transmits information indicating that release is completed to the automatic conveyance device server when loading work is completed.

Distribution system

A component mounting machine, includes a mounting base provided in a component mounting machine main body and movable at least in the horizontal direction; a mounting/demounting tool, detachably mounted on the mounting base and movable in the up-down direction while holding a component; a tool moving mechanism configured to move the mounting/demounting tool in the up-down direction; a mounting base moving mechanism configured to move the mounting base at least in the horizontal direction; and a control device configured to perform a seating improvement process for applying a force in a predetermined direction, including the horizontal direction, to the mounting base on which the mounting/demounting tool is mounted after the mounting/demounting tool is mounted on the mounting base and before the mounting/demounting tool holds the component, by a moving operation different from a moving operation for holding the component on the mounting/demounting tool in the mounting base moving mechanism.

Component mounting machine

A mounter capable of curtailing interference between a mounting head that has a component holding section, and an exchange-use component holding section and a storage section that holds the exchange-use component holding section. A controller of the mounter reads head identification information for identifying the mounting head from the mounting head. Also, different quantities of protruding sections are formed on nozzle tray in accordance with the height in the Z-axis direction. Also, pressure switches that are pressed by protruding sections so as to turn on and off are provided on loading plate on which nozzle tray is loaded. By this, the controller is able to determine whether interference will occur between the mounting head and nozzle tray based on the detection signal of the pressure switches before the mounting head is moved.

Mounter

A load measuring device is provided with load sensor, data logger, and measurement start switch on body. When switch section is pressed down by a suction nozzle, load sensor outputs detection voltage to data logger in accordance with the size of the pressing load. Data logger records detection voltage for a specified time only from the time it starts receiving high level start recording signal from measurement start switch. By this, data logger does not record detection voltage until high level start recording signal is received from measurement start switch, thus does not incorrectly record vibrations and the like during conveyance as the load.

Load measuring device and load measuring method

A component mounting apparatus is provided with a controller that controls a mounting head. The mounting head is provided with a nozzle holder, a nozzle that is elastically supported to be movable up and down with respect to the nozzle holder, a flange that is provided at a position that is offset from the central axis of the nozzle, and a second engaging section that is able to move the nozzle downward by engaging with the flange and pressing down the flange against the elastic force of a nozzle spring. The controller measures in advance the deviation amount of the tip position of the nozzle between before and after the second engaging section moves the nozzle downward and controls the mounting head so as to suck the component and mount the component on the board taking the deviation amount into account.
