A substrate process system which includes a plurality of arranged process machines, and in which a circuit substrate is transported from an upstream process machine to a downstream process machine is provided. One process machine inspects small electronic components, and another process machineinspects large electronic components. The small mounted components are inspected in detail. When the large mounted components are inspected, it is not necessary to inspect the large electronic components in detail to the degree that the small electronic components are inspected. It is possible to reliably inspect the small mounted components even though the inspection process requires a certain length of time, and it is possible to inspect the large components in less detail than the inspection process for the small components. Accordingly, it is possible to reliably perform an inspection process, and to decrease an inspection time at the same time.

Substrate process system, process procedure optimization program, and program for determining number of process machines

A board work system operable by a plurality of operators assigned in turn to operate. The system includes (a) at least one device changeable to each one of a plurality of different modes; (b) a control device which controls the changeable device, and receives operator ID data identifying each operator, so as to recognize which one of the operators is currently assigned to operate the system; and (c) an ID-data input device operable to input the operator ID data to the control device. The control device includes: (b-) a suitable-mode-establishing-data storing portion which stores suitable-mode-establishing data representative of one of the different modes which is to be established during operation of the system by each operator; and (b-) a suitable-mode establishing portion which establishes one of the different modes on the basis of the suitable-mode establishing data and according to the operator ID data inputted to the control device.

Board work system having provision for establishing operating environment suitable for operator, and process of establishing the suitable operating environment

An apparatus for moving an operative suction nozzle which holds an electric component. The apparatus mounts the electric component held by the operative suction nozzle on a circuit board. The apparatus includes a device which supplies the electric component to the operative suction nozzle; a device which supports the circuit substrate; a nozzle storing device which stores normal suction nozzles; and a nozzle moving device. A nozzle-defect detecting device which detects a defeat of the operative suction nozzle is provided. Also provided is a nozzle exchanging device which automatically operates the nozzle moving device to move the defective suction nozzle having the detected defect, to the nozzle storing device so that the defective suction nozzle is exchanged with the normal suction nozzle stored by the nozzle storing device.
