Mounting-related device and mounting system

1. A mounting-related device used in a mounting system, in which multiple mounting-related devices, each being configured to execute a mounting-related process related to a process of mounting a component to a mounting target, are arranged side by side along a conveyance direction of the mounting target, the mounting-related device comprising:

an execution unit housed in the mounting-related device configured to execute the mounting-related process to the mounting target;

a first interface on a first external surface of the mounting-related device in a direction perpendicular to the conveyance direction, the first interface configured to enable a mobile work device to supply a member related to the mounting-related process to the mounting-related device, the mobile work device moving in an automatic processing area outside of the first external surface of the mounting-related device; and

an operation panel disposed in a second interface, the second interface located on a second external surface of the mounting-related device on an opposite side of the mounting-related device with regards to the first interface and configured to allow an operator access to the operation panel without allowing access by the mobile work device.

2. The mounting-related device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the execution unit is at least one of a printing unit, a mounting unit, an inspection unit, a conveyance unit, and a reflow unit, and

wherein the execution unit is housed between the first external surface and the second external surface.

3. A mounting system comprising multiple mounting-related devices according to claim 1 ,

wherein multiple of the first interfaces are arranged on a first side, and multiple of the second interfaces are arranged on a second side thereby constituting a mounting line, and

wherein the first side is adjacent to the automatic processing area for automatic processing by the mobile work device, and the second side is adjacent an operator area in which an operator performs work without the mobile work device entering the operator area.

4. The mounting system according to claim 3 , wherein the mounting line has one or more member access sections where a member is moved between the automatic processing area and the operator area.

5. The mounting system according to claim 3 ,

wherein the mounting system further comprises a management processor configured to exchange information with the multiple mounting-related devices and manage information on the multiple mounting-related devices,

wherein the mounting line has one or more operator access sections that allow the operator to enter between the automatic processing area and the operator area, and

wherein the management processor executes one or more modes from a regulation mode which causes the operator access section to regulate entry of the operator into the automatic processing area, and a mode-changing mode which changes an operation mode of the mobile work device to a safe mode upon a detection of entry of the operator from the operator access section into the automatic processing area.

6. The mounting system according to claim 3 ,

wherein the mounting system further comprises a management processor configured to exchange information with the multiple mounting-related devices and manage information on the multiple mounting-related devices,

wherein in the automatic processing area, the management processor sets an area other than an area where the operator enters as the automatic processing area, when an operation by the operator on the mounting-related device is required from the first side.

7. The mounting system according to claim 3 , wherein the mobile work device is an automated guided vehicle that moves between a storage container external to the mounting line, for storing the member related to the mounting-related process, and the mounting line.

8. The mounting system according to claim 3 , wherein the mobile work device is an automatic collection and replenishment device that moves along the first external surface the multiple mounting-related devices to collect or replenish the member related to the mounting-related process.
