The feeder management device is a device that manages selection of a tape feeder to be set at each set position defined for each component in a component feeding unit of a component-mounting device. The feeder management device includes a memory unit and a feeder selection management unit. The memory unit stores list information indicating, for each component, whether or not to use a tape feeder of a special type among a plurality of tape feeders different in method of supplying the component storage tape, the tape feeder of the special type supplying the component storage tape easily. The feeder selection management unit refers to the list information stored in the memory unit, and manages selection of the tape feeder for each component, the selection corresponding to each set position in the component feeding unit of the component-mounting device.

A part verification system includes sensors for detecting tapes, a reader which reads identification information from a recording part provided to a reel, and a memory part which stores part verification information. The system further includes a part verification part which performs verification updating processing for determining whether or not the tape is mounted on the tape feeder at the set position corresponding to the identification information, and updating tape presence or absence information at the set position when the tape is mounted, a tape monitoring part for determining whether or not the tape is mounted with respect to each tape feeder during a period which differs from a period where the verification updating processing is performed, and a notification part which performs notification to request reading of the identification information relating to the tape from the recording part when the tape is mounted on the tape feeder.

A management device causes a mobile work device to execute a pre-replacement process of detaching a pre-served feeder from a mounting attachment portion before a component shortage of a feeder and attaching a replacement feeder corresponding to a feeder predicted to be subjected to the component shortage to the mounting attachment portion from which the pre-served feeder is detached when the feeder attached to the mounting attachment portion is predicted to be subjected to the component shortage and the mounting attachment portion is in a predetermined serving state such that there is no vacancy in the mounting attachment portion and the pre-served feeder to be used in the next and subsequent productions is attached to a part of the mounting attachment portion.

A tray is automatically mounted on a pallet. A tray handling device, which handles a tray collected from a component mounting device configured to mount a component held in a tray on a substrate, includes: a pallet collecting unit configured to take out a pallet on which the tray is mounted from a magazine collected from the component mounting device; and a tray unloading unit configured to unload the tray from the collected pallet.

A method and a system for providing operator information in an Surface Mount Technology (SMT) system comprising an SMT information database, a SMT pick and place machine and an identity tag scanner, the method comprising: receiving a bin in said SMT pick and place machine, wherein said bin is adapted to comprise vertically oriented bin load units, wherein said bin load unit has an pallet identity tag attached to the bin load units upwards facing surface; starting SMT production on said SMT pick and place machine; scanning individual identity tags attached to bin load units comprising component tape reels to obtain bin load units IDs.

A component supply device including a main body provided with an introducing region into which a component supply tape holding components is introduced and configured to supply the components by sending the component supply tape introduced into the main body via the introducing region in a longitudinal direction of the component supply tape. The device comprises a tape supporter insertable into the introducing region while supporting the component supply tape, and a clamping mechanism configured to sandwich and hold at least a part of a supported part of the component supply tape supported by the tape supporter with respect to the tape supporter. The component supply tape is introduced into the main body by inserting the tape supporter into the introducing region with the component supply tape held by the clamping mechanism.
