Abstract
A component mounting line includes a component mounting apparatus and a board distributing apparatus. The component mounting apparatus includes two transport lanes, each having a carry-in area where a board is carried and a mounting area where a component is mounted onto the board received from the carry-in area. The board distributing apparatus distributes the board to any one of the two transport lanes. The board distributing apparatus distributes the board to any one of the two transport lanes based on a presence or absence of boards in the carry-in area and the mounting area.
