A mounting head is configured to be detachably attached to a mounting device main body. This mounting head includes a storage section having multiple storage areas, and a storage control section configured to acquire multiple operation data relating to an operation of the mounting head individually at different timings and store the multiple operation data individually in the multiple storage areas in such a state that the mounting head is attached to the mounting device main body.

A component mounting machine includes a mark imaging camera that images a board mark of a circuit board and has a function of identifying an identification target, such as a character attached to an upper surface of a component supplied by a component supply device. An illumination light source illuminates the identification target on the upper surface of the component imaged by the mark imaging camera and is attached to a lower portion of an electric component holding frame provided to protrude to the side of the mounting head. As the identification target on the upper surface of the component, which is illuminated by the illumination light source from obliquely above, is imaged by the mark imaging camera from above and the image is processed, the identification target on the upper surface of the component is identified.

A management device for a board work machine includes a storage device storing version information in which a current version of software executed by a constitutive device of a board work machine in a production process is associated individually with the multiple constitutive devices and a version designation section configured to designate a version of the software which is to be applied to the production process based on a type of the production process and the version information.

A work head including a head main body, multiple movable bodies held to be approachable to or separatable from each other by the head main body, and an air passage formed, being open between the multiple movable bodies, in the head main body, in which by gripping a holding tool configured to hold a component by approach of the multiple movable bodies, the holding tool communicates with the air passage and holds the component by supply of air to the holding tool via the air passage.

A component mounting machine including a mounting head configured to pick up and mount a component; a component camera to image the component from below the mounting head; a board camera to image the circuit board from above; an imaging position memory to memorize imaging position coordinates during imaging, based on images acquired by the component camera; a relative position memory to memorize relative position coordinates that are a relative position of the mounting head with respect to the board camera; and a correction necessity determining section to perform imaging of the mounting head by the component camera when the moving device has arrived at the imaging position coordinates, and determine whether it is necessary to correct the relative position coordinates memorized in the relative position memory, based on a position of the mounting head understood from the images acquired from the imaging.

A work machine and a mounting method by which end portions of a wire member can be mounted on connecting sections which are arranged variously are provided. A work head includes a first holding section configured to hold a first end portion and a second holding section configured to hold a second end portion. A control device includes a first mounting section configured to mount the first end portion held by the first holding section on a first connecting section, a moving section configured to cause a work head moving device to move the work head in accordance with a position of the second connecting section after having mounted the first end portion on the first connecting section, and a second mounting section configured to mount the second end portion held by the second holding section on a second connecting section.

An automatic insertion apparatus includes an actuator, a clamping device, and a light shielding device. The clamping device is connected to the actuator for clamping an electronic component, and the light shielding device is movably connected to the actuator to shield a part of the electronic component, and the light shielding device and the clamping device horizontally moves together with the actuator.

An apparatus includes a first substrate including a first adhesive layer, a second substrate including a second adhesive layer, a first drum that is rotatable, and a third adhesive layer located on the first drum. The first drum moves to a first location to separate device chips from the first adhesive layer of the first substrate and adheres the device chips to the third adhesive layer by rotating the first drum, and moves to a second location to separate the device chips from the third adhesive layer by rotating the first drum. The adhesive force of the first adhesive layer is less than the adhesive force of the third adhesive layer, and the adhesive force of the third adhesive layer is less than the adhesive force of the second adhesive layer.

In mounter, work using multiple suction nozzles is executed by executing an exchange of suction nozzles between nozzle station and mounting head. In addition, placement positions of suction nozzles at nozzle station are set so that the distance between accommodation section at the nozzle station and part camera is shorter for the suction nozzle to be exchanged more times at the nozzle station. Then, for exchange of suction nozzles during mounting work, the suction nozzle attached to the mounting head is returned to a placement section corresponding to a set placement position. As a result, placement positions at the nozzle station are rearranged into the set placement positions, so that the distance that the mounting head moves for nozzle exchange can be made shorter, which makes it possible to reduce the time required for nozzle exchange.

A moving work management device is used in a mounting system including a mounting device having a supply section, configured to load a feeder having a holding member configured to hold a component, to one or more loading sections, and a mounting section configured to mount the component supplied from the supply section to a mounting target; and a moving work device having a moving control section, configured to move the feeder, for collecting the feeder from or replenishing the feeder to the supply section. After acquiring the component depletion notification notifying of a component depletion of a feeder, the moving work management device creates arrangement execution information of moving work device for moving and loading the feeder for exchanging to a loading section in the vicinity of the component depleted notification feeder.
