A feeder maintenance apparatus that acquires feeder information from a feeder which is mounted on a feeder mounting section, and controls a cleaning section to clean a sprocket section of the feeder, a feeding roller, a first gear mechanism, and a second gear mechanism, based on the feeder information. The feeder maintenance apparatus controls lubricant supply sections to supply a lubricant to a driving section of the feeder based on the acquired feeder information.

A maintenance management device comprises: an inspection device configured to inspect an exchangeable element in a component mounting machine configured to mount a component on a circuit board; and an information management section configured to store statistical information in which results of multiple inspections with the inspection device are linked to identification information for each of multiple exchangeable elements targeted for inspection.

A nozzle cleaning period management device is provided with a cleaning device that cleans suction nozzles that are used in order to perform vacuum retention of an electronic component, a flow rate measurement device for measuring a flow rate that flows through the suction nozzles, a reduction amount calculation device for calculating a unit flow rate reduction amount of the flow rate of the suction nozzle per a number of times of mounting of electronic components on the basis of a flow rate difference before and after cleaning, which is measured by the flow rate measurement device, and an estimation device for estimating a cleaning period, which subsequently cleans the suction nozzles, on the basis of the unit flow rate reduction amount, which is calculated by the reduction amount calculation device, and a flow rate after cleaning.

An equipment element maintenance management method for managing a maintenance operation for an equipment element that is attached to manufacturing equipment for manufacturing a product includes: acquiring operation history information of the manufacturing equipment at a predetermined timing; analyzing a tendency of a state of the equipment element based on the acquired operation history information; performing the maintenance operation for the equipment element of which the state is worse than a predetermined state; creating maintenance result information which is a result of the maintenance operation; and creating a repair operation instruction for performing an instruction of a repair operation for the equipment element of which the state after the maintenance operation is not more improved than the predetermined state based on the maintenance result information.

The present invention provides a maintenance board that can be used for a maintenance process other than removing static electricity from a component mounting device by being conveyed by a conveyance device of the component mounting device. The maintenance board is conveyed to the conveyance device of the component mounting device. The maintenance board includes at least one of: a brush configured to brush a maintenance target object; a cleaning nozzle configured to be held in an attachable manner to a work head of the component mounting device and to blow air to the maintenance target object; a pressure sensor configured to measure a detachable load of a component to a suction nozzle attached to the work head and a mounting load of a component to a board; and a blower configured to blow air toward the work head.

A mounted board manufacturing system that manufactures a mounted board, which is a board mounted with a component. The mounted board manufacturing system includes: at least one component loading device that executes a component loading operation for loading the component on a board; a rule base with which at least one machine parameter for executing the component loading operation performed by the at least one component loading device can be calculated; an operation information aggregator that aggregates, for each component data, results of processing executed by the at least one component loading device, together with operation information; and a calculation processor that selects, as actual training data, component data corresponding to an operation result that exceeds a predetermined reference, from the operation information aggregator, and estimates at least one machine parameter of a new component, using the actual training data, the rule base, and basic information of the new component.

An abnormality of a gear is more appropriately predicted. An abnormality prediction device of the present disclosure is used in a feeding device including a driving section, a gear connected to the driving section, and a detection section configured to detect a position of a medium fed in accordance with driving of the gear, and intermittently feeding the medium. The abnormality prediction device acquires detection information regarding a feed amount of the medium based on the position of the medium detected over time by the detection section, decomposes the acquired detection information into a trend component regarding a moving average of the gear, a cycle component based on a cycle of the gear, and a random component obtained by excluding the trend component and the cycle component, obtains an abnormality level of the gear based on the cycle component obtained by the decomposition, and outputs the obtained abnormality level.
