A component placement system is provided. The component placement system includes: a first bond head array configured for simultaneously carrying a first plurality of electronic components; a second bond head array configured for simultaneously carrying a second plurality of electronic components; a first motion system for simultaneously carrying the first bond head array and the second bond head array along a first motion axis; and a second motion system for carrying the first bond head array independent of the second bond head array.

A work device includes: a movable work unit that performs a predetermined process on an object; a cable carrier that includes a first end, a second end, and a folded portion, and houses and holds a cable connected to the work unit; a fixing portion that fixes the first end of the cable carrier to a predetermined position above a movable region of the work unit; a movable section that moves together with the work unit, the second end of the cable carrier being fixed to the movable section; and an elastic member that biases the cable carrier upward in a region between the folded portion and the first end to prevent the cable carrier from sagging.

A component mounting system includes a plurality of component mounters, a characteristic inspection device, and a management device. Each of the component mounters transmits inspection area component information including identification information of the corresponding component mounter, information of a conveyed-in board, and identification information of an inspection-required component installed in an inspection area, to the management device. The characteristic inspection device determines whether or not the inspection-required component installed in the inspection area is an error component, and transmits the information on the determined inspection-required component to the management device as error information. The management device specifies the component mounter in which the inspection-required component determined to be an error component is installed in the inspection area as an error component mounter, based on the transmitted error information, and stops an operation of the identified component mounter.

An apparatus can include a support structure and a docking station, wherein the apparatus is configured to move the docking station relative to the support structure. The apparatus can further include a head among a plurality of heads. The apparatus can also include a first coupler configured to couple the head to the support structure and to decouple the head from the support structure and a second coupler configured to couple the head to the docking station and to decouple the head from the docking station. A method of using the apparatus can include coupling the head to the docking station and decoupling the first head from the support structure. The method can further include moving the docking station along the support structure. The method can also include coupling the head to the support structure and decoupling the head from the docking station.

An analysis device is a device for use for a component mounting device including a pickup member configured to be moved relative to a board by means of a moving device and a contact detection sensor configured to detect that a component picked up by the pickup member is brought into contact with the board to analyze a mounting state of the component mounting device. The analysis device includes a storage device configured to store multiple detection result data relating to detection results obtained by the contact detection sensor when the component is mounted on the board in association with mounting conditions when the detection results are obtained by the contact detection sensor, and an output device configured to count the multiple detection result data stored in the storage device by at least two conditions in the mounting conditions and output the multiple detection result data so counted.

A shaft drive device includes a plurality of shafts each retained in a raisable and lowerable manner; a return spring for urging each of the shafts upward; an actuating member contactable with a pressed part of any one of the shafts for raising and lowering a selected shaft; and a raising and lowering mechanism which changes a posture of the actuating member between a first posture of coming into contact with the pressed part of the shaft and pressing the pressed part to lower the shaft against an urging force of the return spring and a second posture of releasing the pressing. The pressed part of the shaft is made of ferromagnet, and the actuating member is given a magnetic force.
