A setup support device that improves the efficiency of setup of a component mounter by guiding supplying of feeders to a component supply device as preparation for setting of the feeders. The support setup device includes: a preparation cart on which are loaded multiple of the feeders used to perform multiple production jobs; and a feeder identifying section configured to identify multiple of the feeders to be set on a component supply device among the multiple feeders loaded on the preparation cart. The preparation cart includes a guidance section configured to issue guidance all at once for the identified multiple feeders to an operator performing the setup so as to supply the identified multiple feeders to the component supply device as preparation for setting the identified multiple feeders on the component supply device.

A nozzle station installation device capable of installing multiple nozzle stations, which hold multiple suction nozzles that are used in an electronic component mounting machine, in a nozzle cleaning device or the like, is provided. The nozzle station installation device is provided with multiple reference bases, and intermediate bases that are provided to be attachable and detachable on each of the multiple reference bases and on which multiple nozzle stations are capable of being placed, positioning sections which position intermediate bases are provided at a common position on the multiple reference bases, a positioning and fixing device that positions and fixes each of the multiple nozzle stations to be attachable and detachable is provided on each of the multiple intermediate bases, and 2D codes are disposed in a fixed positional relationship with the positioning sections in each of the multiple nozzle stations.

A component mounting device mounts an electronic component on a printed circuit board, and includes a sideview camera which takes an image of a side surface of a target, a mounting head having a nozzle shaft, and a driving device which moves the mounting head to a planar direction on a base. The nozzle shaft includes a shaft main body movably supported to a vertical direction with respect to the mounting head, and a suction nozzle attached at a tip of the shaft main body to suction and hold the electronic component, and an identification mark which identifies the suction nozzle is provided on a side surface of the suction nozzle.

Before using a load cell to measure a load (nozzle load) arising during relative movement between a suction tube and a pipe of a suction nozzle, the suction nozzle and a metal contact tool are moved towards each other by a set load with the metal contact tool contacting the tip section of the suction tube. When the suction tube and the pipe has moved relatively by set amount due to the suction nozzle and metal contact tool being moved towards each other, the nozzle load of the suction nozzle is measured using the load cell. Nozzle load is measured only for a suction nozzle for which relative movement of the suction tube and the pipe has been confirmed, and nozzle load is measured appropriately without damaging the load sensor.

A case includes a case body including an accommodation space to accommodate electronic components and a discharge portion to accommodate and discharge the electronic components in and from the accommodation space. A label is attachable to the case body. A shutter is slidable relative to the case body to open and close the discharge port. The case body includes, on at least a portion on a surface thereof, a label attaching region including protruding portions to which an attaching surface of the label is attachable.

A mounter capable of curtailing interference between a mounting head that has a component holding section, and an exchange-use component holding section and a storage section that holds the exchange-use component holding section. A controller of the mounter reads head identification information for identifying the mounting head from the mounting head. Also, different quantities of protruding sections are formed on nozzle tray in accordance with the height in the Z-axis direction. Also, pressure switches that are pressed by protruding sections so as to turn on and off are provided on loading plate on which nozzle tray is loaded. By this, the controller is able to determine whether interference will occur between the mounting head and nozzle tray based on the detection signal of the pressure switches before the mounting head is moved.

A feeder management device and method for managing feeders when producing a board based on a production plan including a board conveyance device; a component supply device in which multiple feeders are detachably mounted at multiple installation positions; and an electronic component mounter including a component transfer device. The method including a current state memory step of linking and storing a current component type of the electronic components, being supplied by the currently mounted feeder, and a position of the mounted feeder; a plan memory step of linking and storing required component types of the electronic components, being mounted on the multiple types of boards, and a position of the feeder of supplying the required components; and a reel removal guide step to remove a first reel from a first feeder of supplying the electronic components of which current state component type does not match the required component types.

Before using a load cell to measure a load (nozzle load) arising during relative movement between a suction tube and a pipe of a suction nozzle, the suction nozzle and a metal contact tool are moved towards each other by a set load with the metal contact tool contacting the tip section of the suction tube. When the suction tube and the pipe has moved relatively by set amount due to the suction nozzle and metal contact tool being moved towards each other, the nozzle load of the suction nozzle is measured using the load cell. Nozzle load is measured only for a suction nozzle for which relative movement of the suction tube and the pipe has been confirmed, and nozzle load is measured appropriately without damaging the load sensor.

After a reel of a Moisture Sensitive Device is dispatched from a component keeping area and setup to a tape feeder is performed in an external setup area, exposure time for which the Moisture Sensitive Device is in an atmospheric exposure state is timed in a reel unit, and the exposure time is compared with exposure limit time set for the Moisture Sensitive Device and stored in a storage part. An electronic component mounting apparatus equipped with the reel of the Moisture Sensitive Device whose exposure time exceeds the exposure limit time is specified, and work by the apparatus is stopped.

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.
