The roll body taking-out unit includes a separation unit that separates the roll body from the reel, and a roll body storage unit that stores the roll body separated from the reel by the separation unit in a case. Further, the roll body storage unit includes a case holding part that holds an empty case, and a chute part that stores the roll body separated from the reel by the separation unit one by one in the empty case held by the case holding part.

A component mounting system for handling a carrier tape roll body to be extracted from a reel and housed in a case, the carrier tape roll body including a roll body formed by winding a carrier tape in a roll shape and a memory that is provided on the carrier tape and enables reading and writing by wireless communication, includes: an identification information generator that generates identification information to be used to distinguish a component sealed in the carrier tape of the carrier tape roll body housed in the case from a component sealed in another carrier tape; and a writing unit that writes the identification information generated by the identification information generator into a memory.

Provided are a roll body extractor that extracts roll bodies from reels and store the roll bodies in cases having radio tags, respectively, and a storage warehouse that includes a plurality of storage positions for storing the cases storing the roll bodies. Furthermore, provided are a reading unit that acquires component information, an identification information generator that generates identification information for identifying a component, a writing unit that writes the component information and the identification information in the radio tag, and a contactless reader that reads the identification information written in the radio tag. Further, the component information written in the radio tag and the identification information are stored in association with each other, and storage position information generated by specifying the storage position and the identification information read by the contactless reader are stored in association with each other.

Component-mounting system includes multiple component mounting machines disposed along a board conveyance direction; feeder storage container for storing multiples of feeders, which are capable of being attached/detached to and from component mounting machines, in each stage among multiple stages; first feeder moving robot capable of exchanging feeder between the lowest stage among multiple stages of feeder storage container and component mounting machine; and second feeder moving robot capable of exchanging feeder between the lowest stage among multiple stages of feeder storage container and the other stages.

A feeder operation inspection device includes an image processing section configured to deduce a position of a brightness change point group, which is a set of brightness change points where an amount of change in brightness relative to a periphery in an image datum is equal to or larger than a specified value, for each of multiple image data, a calculating section configured to calculate an actual conveyance amount of a carrier tape which is actually conveyed through a conveyance process based on the position of the brightness change point group of each of the multiple image data, and a determination section configured to determine whether the feeder operates normally in the conveyance process based on a designated conveyance amount and an actual conveyance amount in the conveyance process.

An image processing device for processing an image of a tape in which multiple cavities for accommodating a component are provided along a predetermined feeding direction includes a generation section configured to extract brightnesses of pixels of a line along the feeding direction from the image and to generate a brightness waveform of the line, and a recognition section configured to execute a periodic analysis of a brightness change from the brightness waveform and to recognize a pitch of the cavities based on a wavelength obtained by the periodic analysis.

An electronic component reel set includes a first electronic component reel and a second electronic component reel. The first electronic component reel includes first electronic components each having a first characteristic value falling in a predetermined range above a reference characteristic value, a first electronic component package that stores the first electronic components linearly, a first reel body in which the first electronic component package is wound, and a first indicator portion indicating the first characteristic value. The second electronic component reel includes second electronic components each having a second characteristic value falling in a predetermined range below the reference characteristic value, a second electronic component package that stores the second electronic components linearly, a second reel body in which the second electronic component package is wound, and a second indicator portion indicating the second characteristic value.

A tape feeder that feeds a carrier tape constituted of a bottom tape accommodating multiple components and a cover tape adhered to the bottom tape to supply the components includes a peeling section configured to peel the cover tape from the bottom tape at a position in front of a supply position of the component, a tension applying section configured to pull the cover tape into a predetermined location by driving a motor to collect the cover tape peeled from the bottom tape, and a holding section configured to hold the cover tape between the peeling section and the tension applying section when a power supply of the tape feeder is turned off and to release the holding of the cover tape when the power supply of the tape feeder is turned on.

A component shortage detection device detects a component shortage of a tape feeder installed in a component mounting device. The component shortage detection device includes a sensor, configured to detect the tape, and provided at a position that is a midpoint of a tape transportation path of the tape feeder and upstream of a component extraction position by a component mounting head in a tape transportation direction. The component shortage detection device further includes a residual quantity calculation unit configured to calculate a component residual quantity of the tape during a mounting operation; and a determination unit configured to determine whether a component shortage occurs on a basis of output information from the sensor and the component residual quantity when the head fails in extraction of the component.
