Abstract

A component mounting system includes an execution procedure determination section for determining an execution procedure of multiple mounting jobs, and a job switching section for switching the mounting jobs. The job switching section holds, in the attachment target section, a feeder accommodating a component common to a component used in the subsequent mounting job among components used in the previous mounting job when the previous and subsequent successive mounting jobs in the execution procedure are switched, and mounts, on an empty attachment target section among the multiple attachment target sections, a feeder accommodating a component not common to a component used in the previous mounting job among components used in the subsequent mounting job.

Claims (13)

1 . A component mounting system comprising:

a component mounting machine configured to execute a mounting job taking out and mounting components supplied from a feeder mounted on any of multiple attachment target sections,

the component mounting system for managing multiple mounting jobs to be executed by the component mounting machine, the component mounting system further comprising: an execution procedure determination section configured to obtain a sum value or a lowest value of a ratio of components used in common between previous and subsequent successive mounting jobs when the component mounting machine respectively executes the multiple mounting jobs in multiple assumed procedures, and determine the execution procedure of the multiple mounting jobs based on the sum value or the lowest value respectively obtained in the multiple procedures; and

a job switching section configured to hold, in the attachment target section, a feeder accommodating a component common to a component used in the subsequent mounting job among components used in the previous mounting job when the previous and subsequent successive mounting jobs in the execution procedure determined by the execution procedure determination section are switched, and mount, on an empty attachment target section that is a attachment target section emptied among the multiple attachment target sections, a feeder accommodating a component not common to a component used in the previous mounting job among components used in the subsequent mounting job.

2 . The component mounting system according to claim 1 ,

wherein the execution procedure determination section determines the procedure in which the sum value or the lowest value is a maximum from the multiple procedures as the execution procedure of the mounting job.

3 . The component mounting system according to claim 1 ,

wherein the component mounting machine includes an imaging device for capturing an image of the component and mounts a component taken out from the feeder after capturing the image of the component by the imaging device, and

the job switching section mounts on the empty attachment target section closer to the imaging device, the feeder accommodating a component not common to a component used in the previous mounting job among components used in the subsequent mounting job.

4 . The component mounting system according to claim 1 ,

wherein the job switching section mounts during the execution of the previous mounting job, the feeder accommodating a component not common to a component used in the previous mounting job among components used in the subsequent mounting job, and when the execution of the previous mounting job is terminated and the execution of the subsequent mounting job is started, collects a feeder accommodating a component not used in the subsequent mounting job among components used in the previous mounting job during the execution of the subsequent mounting job, and changes a mounting position of the feeder accommodating a component used in the subsequent mounting job between multiple empty attachment target sections including the empty attachment target section generated by the collection.

5 . The component mounting system according to claim 1 ,

wherein the job switching section includes a feeder exchange device configured to individually exchange a feeder with respect to the multiple attachment target sections of the component mounting machine.
