Abstract
An automatic backup pin arrangement operation includes a backup plate facing a lower surface of circuit board where backup pins stored in a stock areas are picked up with an XY-robot to be automatically arranged at positions of the backup plate designated in a production job. In a case where there is no free space in the stock areas for an unnecessary backup pin removed from the backup plate to be placed when a production job for changing the arrangement of the backup pins is switched, at least a part of a region of the backup plate facing a lower surface of the circuit board, which does not interfere with a mounted component on a lower surface side of the circuit board, is used as retraction area, and the unnecessary backup pin that cannot be retracted to the stock area is retracted to the retraction area.
