A board work management device manages a production line having multiple board work machines that produces electronic-component-mounted-boards by the multiple work machines each being set to perform specified work with respect to the board, with each of multiple of the boards being conveyed sequentially to each of the multiple board work machines, and each of the multiple board machines performing their respective work on each of the multiple boards. The device includes: a board work quantity reset switch; a board work quantity counting section that counts each board on which, from among the multiple board work machines, at least one board work machine has performed work, for each of the at least one board work machines; a board work quantity memory section that memorizes the board work quantity of the board work machine counted by the board work quantity counting section; and a board work quantity resetting section that, when the board work quantity reset switch is operated, resets the board work quantity of a specified board work machine among the at least one board work machines memorized by the board work quantity memory section while the multiple board work machines are operating.

A method for equipping printed circuit boards on an equipping machine, the printed circuit boards being of a first length, and the equipping machine being realized to equip printed circuit boards of a second length, the second length being more than twice as great as the first length. The equipping machine has an input section (1) and an equipping section (2), the equipping section (2) being disposed after the input section (1) in a direction of conveyance (F) of the printed circuit boards, disposed after the input section (1) in a direction of conveyance of the printed circuit boards, the printed circuit boards of the first length and the printed circuit boards of the second length being transportable, in their longitudinal direction, from the input section (1) into the equipping station (2).

A management apparatus of the present disclosure is an apparatus used in a mounting system including multiple mounting-related devices each having an attachment portion to which a second member used in combination with a first member is attached and related to a process of mounting a component on a processing target object, and a moving work device that is moved between the mounting-related devices and automatically attaches and detaches the second member to and from the attachment portion. The management apparatus is configured to, when cancelation information indicating that the second member has been detached from the attachment portion of the mounting-related device is acquired and collecting information indicating that the moving work device has detached the second member from the attachment portion is not acquired, execute a process of setting the second member as a restriction target.

A mounting device includes a control device. The control device images an imaging range which includes an illuminant of a light emitting component and acquires a light emitting component image when mounting the light emitting component which includes the illuminant onto a board. Next, the control device detects coordinates (illuminant detected center coordinates) of a center of the illuminant based on the light emitting component image. The control device performs the mounting of the light emitting component such that the light emitting component is held, the light emitting component moves over the board, and a center of the illuminant is positioned at predetermined coordinates on the board based on the illuminant detected center coordinates, without using information relating to an outer shape of the light emitting component which is based on the light emitting component image.

A production system includes a first production line and a second production line arranged in parallel with each other, and a first feeder exchange device and a second feeder exchange device respectively provided in each production line at an interval with which the first feeder exchange device and the second feeder exchange device can pass by each other. When the production is stopped, the first feeder exchange device and the second feeder exchange device stop at intervals of a predetermined distance or more in a board conveyance direction.

A component mounting method is provided for mounting a light emitting component on a board by picking up the light emitting component from a pocket formed in a carrier tape by a mount head. The method includes recognizing a reference part formed in the board, recognizing a light emitting part of the light emitting component by imaging the light emitting component from above in a state where the light emitting component is held within the pocket by a holder from below, picking up the light emitting component by the mount head in the state where the light emitting component is held within the pocket by the holder from below, and mounting the picked up light emitting component on the board based on a recognition result of the reference part and a recognition result of the light emitting part.

There is provided technology which is a component mounting machine which mounts electronic components onto a circuit substrate and is capable of displaying a movable region of an inner portion of the component mounting machine within a same image. The component mounting machine is provided with a fixed camera which monitors the inner portion of the component mounting machine and a display section which is capable of displaying a captured image of the fixed camera. The fixed camera is capable of imaging a range from a pickup position at which the suction nozzle picks up the electronic component which is supplied from the component feeder to a mounting position at which the electronic component is mounted onto the circuit substrate within the same image.

In some examples, a system derives a first representation of an assembly of components based on a first source of information, and derives a second representation of the assembly of components based on a second source of information that is of a different type than the first source of information, where the second representation includes any or a combination of an indication of a source of a respective component of the assembly of components, or placement location information of a component in the assembly. The system compares the first representation to the second representation to identify a deviation between the first representation and the second representation, the deviation corresponding to an alteration of the assembly of components.

A component mounting device includes a head unit including a mounting head configured to mount a component on a substrate, a component feeder configured to feed the component to the mounting head, and an imager provided on the head unit and configured to be able to image a component feeding location of the component feeder from a plurality of directions. The component mounting device further includes a controller configured to acquire a horizontal position and a vertical height position of the component at the component feeding location based on images of the component feeding location captured from the plurality of directions by the imager.

A component mounting machine includes a tool station and a determination section. The tool station detachably accommodates a holding member including a main body section which can hold a component to be mounted on a board and multiple identification sections which can identify multiple accommodation angles. The determination section determines an angle difference in which the accommodation angle of the holding member differs from a predetermined accommodation angle. At least one identification section of the multiple identification sections is defined as a first identification section, the at least one identification section being exposed when the accommodation angle of the holding member is the predetermined accommodation angle in a close state in which the multiple identification sections are partially covered by a shielding member. When the determination section cannot recognize the first identification section in the close state, the determination section attempts to recognize a second identification section.
