Description

部品実装システムおよび部品実装方法Component mounting system and component mounting method
　この発明は、部品実装システムおよび部品実装方法に関し、特に、部品供給部を搬送する部品実装システムおよび部品実装方法に関する。 The present invention relates to a component mounting system and a component mounting method, and more particularly to a component mounting system and a component mounting method for conveying component supply units.
　従来、部品供給部を搬送する部品実装システムが知られている。このような部品実装システムは、たとえば、国際公開第２０１９／１５９３１９号に開示されている。 Conventionally, a component mounting system that transports a component supply unit is known. Such a component mounting system is disclosed, for example, in WO2019/159319.
　上記国際公開第２０１９／１５９３１９号には、フィーダ（部品供給部）を搬送する無人搬送車と、フィーダが配置される実装装置と、を備える基板作業システム（部品実装システム）が開示されている。この基板作業システムでは、実装装置で使用されているフィーダがメンテナンス時期であるか否かが判別されるとともに、フィーダがメンテナンス時期であると判別された場合、メンテナンス時期であると判別されたフィーダが無人搬送車により実装装置から回収される。 The above International Publication No. 2019/159319 discloses a board working system (component mounting system) including an automatic guided vehicle that transports a feeder (component supply unit) and a mounting device on which the feeder is arranged. In this board working system, it is determined whether or not the feeder used in the mounting apparatus is due for maintenance, and if it is determined that the feeder is due for maintenance, the feeder determined to be due for maintenance is It is collected from the mounting device by an automatic guided vehicle.
国際公開第２０１９／１５９３１９号WO2019/159319
　しかしながら、上記国際公開第２０１９／１５９３１９号の基板作業システムでは、フィーダがメンテナンス時期であると判別された場合、メンテナンス時期であると判別されたフィーダが無人搬送車により実装装置から個別に回収されるため、メンテナンスが必要な部品供給部の使用に起因したエラーの発生を未然に防止することができる一方、無人搬送車（搬送ロボット）によるフィーダの回収の回数が増加するという問題点がある。 However, in the board working system of International Publication No. 2019/159319, when it is determined that the feeder is due for maintenance, the feeder determined to be due for maintenance is individually collected from the mounting apparatus by an unmanned guided vehicle. Therefore, while it is possible to prevent the occurrence of errors due to the use of a parts supply unit that requires maintenance, there is a problem that the number of times feeders are collected by an automatic guided vehicle (transport robot) increases.
　この発明は、上記のような課題を解決するためになされたものであり、この発明の１つの目的は、搬送ロボットによる部品供給部の回収の回数が増加することを抑制しつつ、メンテナンスが必要な部品供給部の使用に起因したエラーの発生を未然に防止することが可能な部品実装システムおよび部品実装方法を提供することである。 SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and one object of the present invention is to suppress an increase in the number of times a transport robot collects parts from a parts supply unit, while at the same time reducing the need for maintenance. It is an object of the present invention to provide a component mounting system and a component mounting method capable of preventing the occurrence of an error due to use of a component supply unit that is not suitable.
　上記目的を達成するために、この発明の第１の局面による部品実装システムは、部品供給部を使用して基板に部品を実装する部品実装装置と、部品実装装置から部品供給部を回収して搬送する搬送ロボットと、搬送ロボットにより回収した部品供給部が返却される返却装置と、回収対象の部品供給部のうち、メンテナンスが必要な部品供給部と、メンテナンスが不必要な部品供給部とを判別した状態で、メンテナンスが必要な部品供給部と、メンテナンスが不必要な部品供給部とを同時に回収して返却装置に返却することが可能なように、搬送ロボットを制御する制御装置と、を備える。 In order to achieve the above object, a component mounting system according to a first aspect of the present invention includes a component mounting apparatus that uses a component supply section to mount a component on a board, and a component supply section that collects the component supply section from the component mounting apparatus. A transport robot that transports, a return device that returns the parts supply unit collected by the transport robot, a parts supply unit that requires maintenance among the parts supply units to be collected, and a parts supply unit that does not require maintenance. a control device for controlling the transport robot so that, in the determined state, the parts supply unit requiring maintenance and the parts supply unit not requiring maintenance can be simultaneously collected and returned to the return device; Prepare.
　この発明の第１の局面による部品実装システムでは、回収対象の部品供給部のうち、メンテナンスが必要な部品供給部と、メンテナンスが不必要な部品供給部とを判別した状態で、メンテナンスが必要な部品供給部と、メンテナンスが不必要な部品供給部とを同時に回収して返却装置に返却することが可能なように、搬送ロボットを制御する制御装置を設ける。これにより、メンテナンスが必要な部品供給部と、メンテナンスが不必要な部品供給部とを同時に回収することができる。その結果、メンテナンスが必要な部品供給部のみを独立して回収する場合と異なり、搬送ロボットによる部品供給部の回収の回数が増加することを抑制することができる。また、メンテナンスが必要な部品供給部が判別されて回収されるので、メンテナンスが必要な部品供給部の使用に起因したエラーの発生を未然に防止することができる。これらの結果、搬送ロボットによる部品供給部の回収の回数が増加することを抑制しつつ、メンテナンスが必要な部品供給部の使用に起因したエラーの発生を未然に防止することが可能な部品実装システムを提供することができる。 In the component mounting system according to the first aspect of the present invention, among the component supply units to be collected, the component supply units that require maintenance and the component supply units that do not require maintenance are discriminated. A control device for controlling the transport robot is provided so that the component supply unit and the component supply unit requiring no maintenance can be simultaneously collected and returned to the return device.

It is possible to easily determine whether it is a part or not. Further, since the parts supply unit requiring maintenance and the parts supply unit not requiring maintenance are returned to the first return position and the second return position different from each other in the return device, the parts supply unit requiring maintenance and the parts supply unit requiring maintenance are returned. The number of return devices can be reduced compared to the case where unnecessary component supply units are returned to different return devices.

Since the state of wear (deterioration) of the rail portion 60b of the component supply unit 60 can be determined from the number of insertions/removals, the number of insertions/removals can be used as an indicator of whether maintenance of the component supply unit 60 is required. Further, when the rail portion 60b is worn, insertion/removal errors may occur due to increased resistance during insertion/removal. The information on the insertion/removal error is the number of insertion/removal errors (the total number of insertion errors and removal errors) of the component supply section 60 in the component mounting apparatus 13, or the number of insertion/removal errors of the component supply section 60 in the component mounting apparatus 13. The number of insertion errors and the number of removal errors of the component supply section 60 from the component mounting apparatus 13 .
