Abstract

Multiple tape feeders are installed in one row on a feeder setting base of a component mounting apparatus. The tape feeder is a variable tape feeder that is displaceable in a tape width direction to a predetermined displacement amount with respect to a feeder main body in which a reel holder has a wider width than the feeder main body. A mounting management device is a device that performs management of the component mounting apparatus, and sets an installation position considering an amount of displacement of the tape feeder such that the adjacent tape feeders do not interfere with each other.

Claims (12)

1. A mounting management device managing a component mounting apparatus which includes component mounting means for picking up and mounting a component on a board using a nozzle from a component supply tape that is fed out to a component supply position, tape feeders each including a reel holding section that rotatably holds a reel around which the component supply tape is wound and a feeder section that feeds out the component supply tape that is unwound from the reel to the component supply position, and a feeder setting base on which a plurality of slots into which the tape feeders are installable, the mounting management device comprising:

installation position setting means for setting the tape feeders having a same or different width to be installed on the feeder setting base,

wherein at least one of the tape feeders is a variable tape feeder in which the reel holding section of the variable tape feeder is displaceable in a tape width direction to a predetermined displacement amount with respect to the feeder section of the variable tape feeder, the reel holding section of the variable tape feeder having a wider width than the feeder section of the variable tape feeder, and

the installation position setting means sets an installation position considering an amount of displacement of the variable tape feeder such that the variable tape feeder and adjacent tape feeders do not interfere with each other.

2. The mounting management device according to claim claim 1 ,

wherein the installation position setting means sets the installation position such that clearance between the reel holding sections of the adjacent tape feeders is a predetermined width.

3. The mounting management device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the installation position setting means determines whether or not there is an interference between the reel holding sections of the variable tape feeder and the adjacent tape feeders without displacement in a state where a temporary installation position is set such that the feeder sections of the variable tape feeder and the adjacent tape feeders do not interfere with each other, if there is no interference, sets the temporary installation position as the installation position, if there is interference, displacing the reel holding section of the variable tape feeder, and if the interference is avoided by the displacing reel holding section of the variable tape feeder, sets the temporary installation position as the installation position.

4. The mounting management device according to claim 3 ,

wherein, initially, the installation position setting means sets the temporary installation position of each of the tape feeders, and sets the feeder sections of the variable tape feeder and the adjacent tape feeders in a range without interfering with each other.

5. The mounting management device according to claim 3 ,

wherein the installation position setting means modifies any number of the tape feeders that are set to be installed on the feeder setting base if there is the interference between the reel holding sections of the variable tape feeder and the adjacent tape feeders.
