Electronic component mounting machine and operating instruction method for the same

Abstract

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.
