BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a component assembling apparatus having a plurality of component mounting portions capable of mounting different components, and an assembling portion for taking out components from each component mounting portion and assembling them on a base material. The present invention relates to an article manufacturing system provided and an article manufacturing method using the same.

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, with the mechanization of articles, a parts assembling apparatus for automatically assembling a plurality of parts at a predetermined position on a base material has been widely used. For example, in the field of mounting electronic circuit boards, component assembling devices such as mounters and inserters for automatically assembling a plurality of electronic components on a board are widely used. These mounters and inserters are equipped with a plurality of removable cassettes (hereinafter simply referred to as cassettes) such as reel cassettes and bulk cassettes, and these cassettes are equipped with different types of electronic components. The electronic components before mounting are picked up one by one from the detachable cassette by a suction nozzle or the like, and then mounted on the solder paste printed on the board, or their lead wires are provided with minute through holes provided on the board. It is inserted into and assembled to the board.

[0003]

By the way, a plurality of cassettes for mounting different kinds of electronic components must be mounted on the mounter and the inserter at predetermined positions. Since this mounting is done manually, there are often cases where the mounting position of the cassette is wrong, or the wrong cassette is mounted when the cassette is replaced for component replacement. When such an error occurs, different types of electronic components from the original ones are assembled by a mounter or an inserter to a predetermined position on the substrate, resulting in mass production of unusable defective electronic circuit boards. Will be Such mass production is more likely to occur due to a mistake in the cassette when exchanging the cassette, rather than a mistake in the mounting position of the cassette during the initial setting of the mounter or inserter. At the time of initial setting, after mounting all cassettes in sequence, it is common to check the product obtained by the trial run of the mounter or inserter, whereas the cassette that replaces only the cassette that has run out of parts This is because the product does not check at the time of replacement.

The above are the problems that arise in the manufacture of electronic circuit boards that use mounters and inserters as component assembly equipment. However, also in the manufacturing of articles using other parts assembling apparatus, the same problem will occur if the wrong setting of the parts such as the wrong setting position of the parts or the wrong parts at the time of replenishment occurs.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and it is an object of the present invention to suppress a situation in which defective products are mass-produced due to erroneous mounting of components on a component assembly apparatus. The object of the present invention is to provide an article manufacturing system and an article manufacturing method which can be performed.

[0006]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the invention of claim 1 has a plurality of component mounting portions on which different components can be mounted respectively, and a component is taken out from each component mounting portion and used as a base material. In an article manufacturing system including a parts assembling device having an assembling unit for assembling, product type information that is identification information of the types of parts, or parts identification information for each packing unit for collectively identifying the parts for each packing unit. And a host computer that stores the mounting portion information, which is the information of the component mounting portion corresponding to the information, in association with each other, and a terminal device having a reading unit that reads identification information. Based on the read result of the component identification information for each packing unit and the mounting part information associated with the read result, it is determined whether or not a component is erroneously mounted on the component mounting part, and the determination result The data processing for generating a false mounting alarm from the terminal in response, is characterized in that it has to be realized by cooperation between the terminal and the host computer.

In this article manufacturing system, the host computer stores data in which product type information or packing unit-specific part identification information and mounting part information corresponding thereto are associated with each other. This host computer is capable of data communication with a terminal operated by an operator, and this terminal can read identification information from a label or the like attached to a packaging container for parts. Therefore, the host computer can specify, from the above data, the mounting section information associated with the type information or the type association information read by the terminal. Then, based on this identification result, either the host computer or the terminal determines whether or not there is an error in the component setting position (error in the component mounting portion). In order to realize such a determination, it is not always necessary for the host computer to perform processing, such as acquiring information on the component mounting portion, which is a component setting target among the plurality of component mounting portions in the component mounting apparatus, from the operator via the terminal. Not. For example, the host computer designates the component mounting portion to which the component is to be set based on predetermined mounting work instruction information and the like, and at the same time outputs the type information or the component information for each packaging unit regarding the component to be mounted. If the operator is instructed to read the information via the terminal, the component mounting portion can be grasped without acquiring special information from the operator. Then, the mounting unit information associated with the type information or the component identification information for each packing unit read by the terminal device is compared with the component mounting unit that is known in advance, or if the terminal device is compared, Such judgment can be realized. If it is judged by this comparison that there is an error in the set position of the parts,
Alarm generation information is issued from the terminal. With the above configuration, the operator can be made aware of an error in the setting position of the component with respect to the component assembling apparatus.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the article manufacturing system according to the first aspect, the product type information read by the terminal or the component identification information for each packing unit and the product type read at a different timing. Based on the information or the component identification information for each packing unit, the identity of the component type corresponding to the former information and the component type corresponding to the latter information is determined, and the component mounting described above is performed based on this determination result. Data processing for determining whether or not a component is erroneously mounted on a unit is also realized by the cooperation of the terminal device and the host computer.

In this article manufacturing system, an operator performs the following work to determine the types of components that have been mounted in the component mounting unit and the types of components that are about to be replenished in the component mounting unit. It is possible to make the host computer or the terminal judge the identity of That is, the terminal device is made to read the type information or the packing unit-specific component identification information for the former part, and then the type information or the packing unit-specific component identification information for the latter part is read. At this time, when the component identification information for each packing unit is read, the product type information associated therewith is specified from the data stored by the host computer. Then, if the two pieces of information to be compared are unified into product type information and the identities of the two pieces of information are judged, the identities of the types of both parts can be judged. If they are not the same (if the types of both parts are different), an erroneous mounting alarm is sent from the terminal, so that the user can notice the mistake in the supplementary parts.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, in the article manufacturing system according to the second aspect, there is provided label issuing means for issuing a label on which identification information is formed based on a signal from the host computer. The host computer is configured so as to perform data processing for issuing a label having the packaging unit-specific component identification information formed thereon.

In this article manufacturing system, the label issuing means issues a label in which the parts identification information for each packing unit for collectively identifying the received parts for each packing unit is issued, and the packing container for the parts is issued. It becomes possible to manage parts information for each packing unit.

A fourth aspect of the present invention is the article manufacturing system according to the third aspect, wherein the component assembling apparatus is configured to be capable of mounting a plurality of components of the same type and detachable from the component mounting portion. Using a plurality of detachable mounters, the host computer stores the component identification information for each packing unit and the device type information corresponding to the identification information of the type of the detachable mounter in association with each other and stores them. The host computer and the terminal cooperate with each other to identify the type of the component and the type of the detachable mounter based on the device type information associated with the component identification information for each packing unit read by the terminal. It is characterized in that the data processing for determining the compatibility with the above and executing a combination incompatibility alarm from the terminal is executed according to the determination result.

In this article manufacturing system, a detachable mounter such as a bulk cassette or a reel cassette is attached to and detached from the component mounting portion as a component assembling device.
The apparatus main body is provided with a set of parts. In general, detachable mounters such as bulk cassettes and reel cassettes are limited in the types of components that can be mounted depending on their types, so malfunctions such as malfunctions will occur if the wrong type of component is mounted. Will end up. Therefore, in this article manufacturing system, the host computer stores a data table in which the component identification information for each packaging unit and the corresponding device type information (installed device type) are associated with each other. Then, the terminal unit is made to read the part identification information for each packing unit attached to the packing container of parts, and the host computer is made to specify the device type information associated with the read result, and based on the specified result, the type of the part and Let them judge the compatibility with the type of removable mounting device. In order to realize such a determination, it is not always necessary for the host computer to perform processing such as acquiring information on the detachable mounter, which is a component set target, from the operator via the terminal. The host computer gives instructions on the parts set for a specific removable mounting device in advance.
This is because there are also cases where workers are made to work through terminals.
When the host computer determines that the combination of the type of parts and the type of the detachable mounting device is inappropriate, the terminal device issues a combination inappropriate alarm. Therefore, the worker can notice the combination incompatibility by issuing the combination incompatibility alarm from the terminal.

A fifth aspect of the present invention is the article manufacturing system according to the fourth aspect, wherein each of the plurality of removable mounters holds mounter identification information which is identification information corresponding to each of them. The host computer stores the mounted device identification information and the corresponding device type information in association with each other, and the host computer and the terminal device cooperate with each other and read by the terminal device. And the device type information associated with the packaging unit-specific component identification information,
The compatibility is determined based on a comparison with the device type information associated with the mounting device identification information read by the terminal, and the packaging unit-specific component identification information and the mounting device identification information are determined according to the determination result. Is stored in the host computer in association with each other, and based on the mounting unit information further associated with the packaging unit component identification information associated with the mounting device identification information read by the terminal, the component It is characterized in that data processing is executed to determine whether or not a component is erroneously mounted on the mounting portion.

In this article manufacturing system, when the terminal unit reads the identification information for each packaging unit attached to the label of the packaging container, the host computer specifies the corresponding equipment type information. on the other hand,
When the terminal device reads the mounting device identification information attached to the detachable mounting device, the host computer specifies the corresponding device type information. Then, based on the comparison of both specified device type information, after the compatibility between the type of parts and the type of removable mounting device is determined, the previously read parts identification information for each packaging unit and mounting It is stored in the host computer in association with the vessel identification information. By this association, data processing of the host computer such as identification of identification information for each packaging unit of the components mounted on the removable mounter from the read result of the mounter identification information becomes possible. Generally, in order to determine the suitability of the mounting position of the component with respect to the component mounting apparatus, it is necessary to compare the type information of the component to be mounted, the component identification information for each packaging unit, and the mounting portion information. However, in a component assembling apparatus using a detachable mounter, the worker strongly recognizes that the detachable mounter is mounted rather than mounting the component in the component assembling apparatus. I am concerned about the correctness of the mounting position of. Therefore, in this article manufacturing system, the host computer is made to perform the above-described data processing. By such data processing, the worker causes the terminal device to read the mounting device identification information of the detachable mounting device to be mounted on the component mounting apparatus, and Let the host computer identify the part identification information for each packing unit. Then, it becomes possible to identify the mounting portion information associated with the component identification information for each packing unit and determine whether or not the component is erroneously mounted based on the identification result. In the above configuration, rather than mounting the component on the component mounting apparatus, the worker attaches the detachable mounter to the operator according to the recognition of the worker that the detachable mounter is mounted. By performing the reading operation of the mounted device identification information, it is possible to determine whether or not the component is erroneously mounted on the component mounting portion.

The invention of claim 6 is the invention of claims 1, 2, 3, 4
Alternatively, in the article manufacturing system of item 5, the host computer stores the storage position information, which is the identification information of the storage position of the component corresponding to the product type information, and the product type information or the component identification information for each packing unit in association with each other. The host computer and the terminal cooperate with each other to determine the compatibility between the component and its storage location based on the storage location information, product type information, or packaging unit-specific component identification information read by the terminal. Is performed, and data processing for issuing a storage position inadequacy alarm from the terminal is performed according to the determination result.

In this article manufacturing system, it is possible to prevent the work from being complicated due to an error in the storage position of the component for the reason described below. That is, it is assumed that there is a storage position where a component of a different type from the original one is stored due to a wrong storage position of the component. The operator takes out the parts from this storage position without noticing the difference in type, and
If an attempt is made to mount it on the target component mounting portion of the component assembling device without noticing it, a mistaken mounting alarm will be issued from the terminal device, and the user can notice the mistake. Then, they try to mount the original correct component again, but since the component is not at hand, they have to perform the extra work of going back to the storage position and picking up the component. Furthermore, if all the parts are stored in the wrong storage position, a very inefficient operation of randomly checking all the storage positions to find the storage position is forced. Therefore, in this article manufacturing system, data associating the storage position information with the product type information or the component identification information for each packing unit is stored in the host computer. Then, the host computer is caused to judge the compatibility between the component and its storage position based on this data and the reading result of the storage position information, the product type information or the product type association information by the terminal. Regarding this judgment, for example, when the host computer is configured to issue a storage work instruction based on previously stored in-stock component information to the operator via the terminal, the following processing is performed. It can be realized by implementing it.
That is, for example, the storage position information read by the terminal device at the storage position of the parts, the storage position information associated with the product type information or product type association information read by the terminal device, and the storage work previously transmitted. This is a process of comparing the storage position information corresponding to the instruction. Also, for example, the reading result of the storage position information attached to the packaging of the parts, the product type information or the product type association information by the terminal, and the storage position information attached to the storage position, the product type information or the product type association information May be compared. If the read result is not the storage position information, the storage position information associated with the read result is specified prior to this comparison. In the above configuration, by making the operator aware of the mistake in the storage position of the parts and suppressing the occurrence of the mistake,
It is possible to prevent the work from becoming complicated due to the mistake in the storage position.

According to a seventh aspect of the present invention, in the article manufacturing system according to the sixth aspect, the host computer stores instruction information for instructing an operator to take out a part from the storage position. , The host computer and the terminal cooperate with each other to identify the parts to be taken out based on the instruction information transmitted from the host computer and the type information or the packing unit-specific parts identification information read by the terminal. It is characterized in that the suitability of the type is judged, and data processing for issuing a product type unsuitability alarm from the terminal is executed according to the judgment result.

In this article manufacturing system, it is possible to prevent the work from becoming complicated due to an error in taking out a component from the storage position for the reason described below. That is, even if the component is stored in the original correct storage position, it is not always correctly taken out by the operator. Occasionally, a worker may make the mistake of removing the wrong part from the wrong storage location. If such a mistake is caused and the component is mounted as it is on the target component mounting portion of the component assembling apparatus, the erroneous mounting alarm is issued from the terminal. Therefore, the operator can notice the mistake in the parts. However, since the original correct parts are not at hand, it is necessary to go to the storage position again to take out the parts. Therefore, in this article manufacturing system, the operator is made to acquire the instruction information for the work of taking out the parts by the host computer via the terminal. Then, the host computer is made to acquire the product type information read by the terminal device or the product type information associated with the read package unit-specific component identification information by the operation of the operator according to the instruction information. Further, the product type information and the product type information corresponding to the instruction information from the host computer are compared with the host computer or the terminal device to judge the suitability of the type of the taken-out parts, and the terminal device sends the product type unsuitable alarm according to the judgment result. Generate. In such a configuration, the worker takes out the parts to be taken out from the storage position and performs the kind of information on the parts or the packing container or the identification of the parts by the packing unit in order to perform the picking work instructed by the host computer. In response to the information being read by the terminal device, the terminal device issues an unsuitable takeout type warning, thereby making it possible to notice a mistaken takingout process. Then, this makes it possible to prevent the work from becoming complicated due to an error in taking out the component from the storage position. Further, in this article manufacturing system, it is possible to smooth the flow of the parts in the facility and reduce the time from the receipt to the assembly by suppressing the mistaken removal of the parts in addition to the wrong storage position.

The invention of claim 8 relates to claim 2, 3, 4,
In the article manufacturing system of 5, 6 or 7, the host computer stores the packaging unit-specific component identification information and the additional information added to the packaging unit-specific component identification information for each packaging unit in association with each other. It is characterized by doing.

In this article manufacturing system, different parts information for each packing unit is associated with the parts identification information for each packing unit as additional information and stored in the host computer, so that different parts information can be managed for each packing unit. become.

According to a ninth aspect of the present invention, in the article manufacturing system according to the eighth aspect, the additional information is different for each of the packing units depending on a difference of an assembly work to be assembled by the component assembly apparatus. It is the component characteristic information that comes in, and the host computer stores the workpiece information that is the information of the assembled workpiece, and the host computer and the terminal cooperate to read it. Based on the part characteristic information associated with the packing unit-specific part identification information and the processed product information, the compatibility between the part to which the packing unit-specific part identification information is given and the assembled processed product is determined. It is characterized in that data processing is performed to make a judgment and to issue a component characteristic inadequate alarm from the terminal according to the judgment result.

In this article manufacturing system, it is possible to suppress the mass production of defective articles due to assembling of the same type of article, which does not exhibit desired characteristics, on the base material. Specifically, for example, in the field of electronic component mounting, even if the same standard (type) such as a 150 [μF] capacitor is used,
The products manufactured by company B can be used with almost no problem, but the products manufactured by company B can only be used for specific electronic circuit board products, and when used for other products, problems may occur. If such electronic components are used for products other than the specific electronic circuit board product, defective products will be mass-produced. In view of this, in this article manufacturing system, the component characteristic information that varies depending on the packaging unit due to the different assembled products is stored in the host computer as the additional information in association with the packaging unit-specific component identification information. Further, it also stores workpiece information, which is information on the assembled workpiece to be assembled by the component assembling apparatus. Then, the host computer or the terminal is made to judge the compatibility between the part and the assembled work piece based on the part characteristic information associated with the result of reading the part information for each packing unit by the terminal and this work piece information. I have to. Therefore, when mounting a component on the component assembly device, the worker causes the terminal device to read the component information by packaging unit of the component so that the system can determine the compatibility between the component and the assembled workpiece. When it is not suitable, the terminal device can issue a component characteristic inadequate alarm. Thus, it is possible to suppress the mass production of defective products due to assembling the components of the same type, which do not exhibit desired characteristics, to the base material.

The invention according to claim 10 is the article manufacturing system according to claim 8 or 9, wherein the additional information is packing mode information which is information on a packing mode of parts different for each packing unit. In association with the terminal, the packaging mode information associated with the packaging unit-specific component identification information read by the terminal and the packaging unit-specific component identification information read by the terminal at another timing It is characterized in that data processing for issuing a packing mode inconsistency alarm from the terminal is carried out based on the comparison with the packing mode information.

In this article manufacturing system, even parts of the same kind are replenished in the parts mounting section of the parts assembling apparatus with parts in a packing mode different from the parts previously mounted, and the parts are mounted. It is possible to suppress the mass production of defective products due to a false recognition that the assembly device is replenished with the same parts as the previous parts. Specifically, for example, a reel cassette, which is a removable mounter for electronic components, uses a reel around which a carrier tape that holds electronic components of the same type at a predetermined pitch is wound, and this reel is attached to the cassette body. Electronic parts are replenished by being replaced. One reel serves as a packing unit for electronic components. On the other hand, some electronic components have lead terminals to which specific functions are assigned, such as 1-pin, 2-pin, ... If such electronic components are held on the carrier tape in random directions, they will be mounted on the substrate in different directions by the mounter or inserter. For this reason, all are held in the same direction on the carrier tape, but some reels have a special specification that mounts a carrier tape that holds all electronic components in the opposite direction to the normal direction. . It is a so-called reverse-wound reel. If such reverse-wound products are handled in the same manner as ordinary reels, defective products will be mass-produced with all of their electronic components assembled in the reverse direction. Therefore, in this article manufacturing system, different packaging mode information such as reverse winding is stored in the host computer in association with the packaging unit component identification information as additional information. Then, based on the comparison of the packing mode information associated with each of the packing unit-specific component identification information read by the terminal at different timings, the terminal generates a packing mode mismatch alarm. In such a configuration, the worker performs an operation as described below so that even if a component in a packaging mode different from the previously mounted component is mounted on the component mounting device, the component is mounted on the board. The attachment can be normally performed on the component assembling device. That is, the terminal device is made to read the packing unit-specific component identification information of the previously mounted component, and then the packing unit-specific component identification information of the component to be mounted for replenishment is read. The packing mode information associated with each other is compared. If the two are different, the terminal device issues a packing mode mismatch warning. Therefore, when it is issued, if the information for making the parts assembling apparatus recognize that the packing mode is different from the previous parts is input and then the parts assembling apparatus is operated, the parts are It is possible to avoid mass production of defective products by assembling the base material in a proper orientation.

The invention of claim 11 relates to claim 8, 9 or 1.
In the article manufacturing system of No. 0, the additional information is unit remaining number information which is information of the remaining number of parts per packaging unit, and the host computer outputs the unit remaining number information based on an input operation by an operator. It is characterized by updating the value of.

In this article manufacturing system, the following operations are performed to allow the computer to manage the inventory of parts in a packing unit such as a packing container, so that the stock of individual parts in the facility can be accurately determined. It will be possible to grasp. That is, an input operation is performed on the host computer in order to update the unit remaining number information associated with the packaging unit-specific component identification information such as a packaging container that has exhausted the component to zero, or the component remains. It suffices to perform an input operation for updating the unit remaining number information associated with the packing unit-based component identification information such as a packaging container. Since the part identification information for each packing unit is also associated with the product type information, it is possible to accurately grasp the inventory of various parts in the facility by counting the remaining number of units for each new type information. It will be. Also, in this article manufacturing system, by accurately grasping the inventory of various parts,
It is possible to reduce the number of inventories by suppressing the arrival of goods more than necessary. Further, in this article manufacturing system, it is possible to effectively suppress the mass production of defective products due to various work mistakes, and to reduce the mistakes in the storage position and removal of parts to shorten the time from receipt to assembly. And the accurate understanding of the inventory of various parts,
The following effects can also be exhibited. That is, even if a small amount and a large variety of products, such as frequently changing the types of parts to be mounted on the parts assembling device, do not easily cause mass production of defective products, and reduce the time from receipt to assembly. By accurately grasping the inventory of various parts and reducing the number of parts in inventory while shortening, it is possible to flexibly respond to so-called on-demand type production demands of small quantity, many kinds, and short delivery time.

The invention of claim 12 is based on claims 1, 2, 3,
In the article manufacturing system of 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 or 12, data communication is performed wirelessly as data communication means for enabling data communication between the host computer and the terminal. It is characterized by the provision of what to do.

In this article manufacturing system, data communication with the host computer can be performed without connecting a cable to the terminal. Therefore, the movement of the terminal is not restricted by the cable from the host computer, and the mobility of the terminal can be enhanced.

According to a thirteenth aspect of the present invention, there is used a component assembling apparatus having a plurality of component mounting portions capable of mounting different components, respectively, and an assembling portion for taking out components from each component mounting portion and assembling them on a base material. In the article manufacturing method of manufacturing an article with a product, the product type information that is identification information of the type of the part, or the part identification information for each packing unit for collectively identifying the parts for each packing unit, and the part corresponding to the information. A host computer that stores the mounting portion information, which is information of the mounting portion, in association with each other, and a terminal device that has a reading unit that reads identification information are prepared, and the product type is created by the cooperation of the host computer and the terminal device. Based on the reading result of the information or the parts identification information for each packing unit by the terminal and the mounting part information associated with the reading result, the erroneous mounting of the part on the parts mounting part is detected. To determine non, it is characterized in that to perform data processing for generating a false mounting alarm from the terminal according to the judgment result.

In this article manufacturing method, for the same reason as in the article manufacturing system according to the first aspect, it is possible to make the worker notice an error in the setting position of the component with respect to the component assembling apparatus.

Specifically, the wireless terminal 29 receives data wirelessly transmitted from a plurality of wireless terminals 29 and sends the data wirelessly to the host computer 20, or wirelessly transmits the data wirelessly transmitted from the host computer 20. To send to. Therefore, the wireless terminal 29 also includes a wireless data communication unit.
The wireless terminal 29 has a scanner (not shown) capable of reading a bar code, and the bar code information thus read can be sent to the host computer 20 via the SS wireless LAN 28. Further, in the figure, the host computer 20 is shown as one for the sake of convenience, but the number is not limited to one, and a plurality of host computers may be connected by a LAN or the like. In the present invention, all computers that can communicate with the terminal device via the data communication means or another computer are host computers. Also, wireless LAN
Rather than letting a terminal or terminal perform data communication by SS radio, PHS (personal handy phone
Data communication may be performed by other wireless such as a system).

In the facility where the board manufacturing system is provided, each electronic component is given a different child part number for each type in advance. This type is, for example, 150 [μ
Its function (capacitor, resistance, etc.) such as F] electrolytic capacitor and 200 [μF] electrolytic capacitor
And electrical standards (F, Ω, etc.). Therefore, even if manufactured by any manufacturer, if the function and the standard are the same, the same child part number is given, and the manufacturer cannot be specified from the child part number. In order to manufacture electronic circuit board products, if electronic parts can be identified at least by their type, it is necessary to mount the parts as designed in order not to manage part numbers such as assigning child part numbers that differ for each manufacturer. This is because (assembly) can be performed. Nevertheless, if a different child part number is assigned to each manufacturer, data processing for implementation will be complicated. However, in order to mount electronic parts by the mounter or inserter, it is also necessary to manage information such as model-specific information that is part characteristic information that cannot be specified from this child part number, and reverse winding information that is packaging mode information. Come on.

Here, the model limitation means that the use (electronic circuit board product that can be mounted) is limited depending on the manufacturer of electronic components of the same type. Specifically, for example, it is assumed that the electronic component a manufactured by the company A makes all of the electronic circuit board products X, Y, and Z function normally. On the other hand, despite being of the same type, the electronic component b manufactured by the company B and the electronic component c manufactured by the company C are the electronic circuit boards Y and Z, respectively.
Occasionally, a situation occurs in which only normal operation can be performed. Although the cause is often unknown, the types of electronic circuit board products to be mounted on the electronic components b and c are limited. In manufacturing all the electronic circuit boards X, Y, and Z, it is advantageous for component management that only the electronic component a with no model limitation is prepared and used for all the substrates. However, if it becomes difficult to receive the electronic component a due to various circumstances,
Electronic components b and c are temporarily received and electronic circuit boards Y and Z are received.
Need to be used for manufacturing. Since the electronic components b and c that have been temporarily received need to be used only for the limited electronic circuit boards Y and Z, it is necessary to manage them by adding the model limitation information in addition to the child part numbers. Occurs.

Reverse winding means that all the electronic components are held on the carrier tape in a direction opposite to the normal direction. For example, as shown in FIG. 4, usually, a reel around which a carrier tape 12 is wound so as to hold the electronic component 11 in such a posture that the first lead and the fifth lead are positioned on the tip side in the tape pull-out direction. Suppose it is a roll. On the other hand, the reel around which the carrier tape 12 is wound so as to hold the electronic component 11 in 180 [°] reverse posture so that the 4th lead and the 8th lead are positioned on the tip side is reversely wound. is there. The reason why such a reverse winding reel is received is that the reverse winding reel was intentionally ordered because the forward winding reel could not be arranged, or the reverse winding was delivered due to a mistake of the supplier. And so on. Electronic component 1 mounted on such a reversely wound reel
For item 1, it is necessary to add reverse winding information to these and manage them.

FIG. 5 is a flow chart showing the flow of electronic components in the facility in which this board manufacturing system is installed. In FIG. 5, electronic parts are first ordered by classifying them into the same type and assigning an order number (step 1,
Hereinafter, the step will be referred to as S). This order number is associated with the child part number of the electronic component and the ordered quantity, and
The data is input to the data table of the host computer 20 (hereinafter referred to as a parts management table) via the inspection information input personal computer 30 shown in FIG. The ordered electronic components are received and received at the facility (S2), and then inspected for each order number (S3). By this inspection, the number of packages (number of parts per reel), number of reels (number of packing units), number of deliveries, pitch, unit price (unit price per part), model limitation, reverse winding, special preservation method, conform The type of reel cassette is confirmed. The confirmed items are entered in the parts management table so as to be associated with the order number, and the delivery key number corresponding to the order number is automatically added to the order number by the host computer 20 to manage the parts. Entered in the table. At this point, the parts management table in the host computer 20 associates the items listed below. The above-mentioned pitch is the arrangement pitch of electronic components on the carrier tape. The storage method is information that is input when a special storage method such as sealed storage is required for the electronic component.・ Parts management table (1) Order number (2) Child part number (3) Order quantity (4) Packaging quantity (5) Reel quantity ((6) ÷ (4) is rounded up) (6) Delivery quantity (7) Unit price (8) Tape width (9) Pitch (10) Part name (type name) (11) Model limited information (12) Reverse winding information (13) Special preservation method (14) Arrival date (15) Delivery key number

In FIG. 3 shown above, the host computer 20 is connected to a printer (not shown), and each data of (1) to (15) described above is converted into characters or symbols based on an instruction from the operator. The receipt slip marked by is output from the printer. At this time, the delivery key number of (15) is output in the bar code format in addition to the letters and symbols.

The reel carrying the inspected electronic component is stored and stocked in a storage room (not shown) prepared according to the type of the electronic component to be in stock (S4). Then, after the goods have been unloaded as necessary (S5), the work of setup for setting them on the mounter shown in FIG. 1 is performed (S6), and then mounted on the board to become an electronic circuit board product ( S7). The electronic circuit board products are collectively inspected (S8) and then shipped to a predetermined destination (S9). When the mount routine for mounting is completed, only the reels used for the reels having the remaining electronic components are subjected to the counting operation to inspect the remaining component number (S10). In the counting operation, the counting is performed using the counting machine 26 shown in FIG. 3, and the label printing the printed numerical value is output from the label issuing machine 35. After the label has been affixed, the numbered reels are either stored again in the storage room or used as they are for other setups.

In the above flow, the steps from S1 to S4 are classified into control areas, and the remaining steps are classified into production areas. Since FIG. 5 shows the flow focusing only on the flow of electronic components, the steps required for the actual production of electronic circuit board products are omitted. The omitted steps include, for example, manufacturing a printed circuit board, printing a solder paste pattern on the printed circuit board, soldering the leads of the electronic component after mounting by reflow prior to the mounting step (S7). This is a process of fixing the paste on the substrate by melting and solidifying the paste.

FIG. 15 is a schematic view for explaining the label issuing work in the stocking process of the conventional board manufacturing system. In the figure, a plurality of reels are usually associated with the above-mentioned receipt slip. For example, for electronic parts of the same type, there are 10,000 in-stock items, and the number of packages of reels mounting the electronic parts (the number of parts per reel) is 1.
If the number is 000, the number of incoming reels will be 10. Ten reels correspond to one receipt slip (delivery key number). The operator manually inputs the child part number, the number of parts mounted, and the arrival date into the inspection information input personal computer while checking the receipt slip and those reels, and then the label on which this information is printed is the number of reels. Only the minute is issued from the label issuing machine. However, at the time of this manual input, the child part number, the number of parts loaded, or the arrival date on the receipt slip was misread, or an input error was made, and a label with incorrect data was issued. There was something that happened.

On the other hand, in the board manufacturing system according to this embodiment, the host computer 20 stores a child part number related information table (data table) in which the items listed below are associated with each other.・ Child part number related information table Child part number Storage area number Cassette module number In this data table, the storage area number () is
The position number in the storage rack prepared for storing the electronic component corresponding to the child part number () is shown. Also,
The cassette module number () is information about a reel cassette on which an electronic component corresponding to the child part number () can be mounted, and specifically, device type information according to the type of the reel cassette. This cassette module number ()
Is the tape width (8), pitch (9), tape material,
The number corresponds to the size of the reel.

The host computer 20 also stores a data table called a reel management table for individually managing each reel, which is associated with the items listed below. -Reel management table (A) Reel serial number (B) Delivery key number (C) Child part number (D) Number of packages (E) Storage area number (F) Remaining number of parts (G) Status information (H) Limited to models Information (I) Reverse winding information (J) Production instruction number (K) Production line number (L) Equipment number (M) Loading sequence number (N) Z-axis number In this data table, reel serial numbers (A) are individual It is a unique serial number assigned to each reel. The remaining number of parts (F) is the remaining number of electronic parts on the reel corresponding to the reel serial number (A), and has a property as unit remaining number information. The status information (G) is information indicating where and in what state the facility corresponding to the reel corresponding to the reel serial number (A) exists. In addition,
The data of (J) to (N) will be described in detail later.

FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram for explaining the label issuing work in the stocking process of the substrate manufacturing system according to this embodiment. The label issuing work only needs to be performed by the operator to cause the scanner 24 of the label issuing personal computer 22 shown in FIG. 3 to read the barcode of the receipt slip. This bar code indicates the delivery key number (15) as described above, and the data of the delivery key number (15) is sent to the host computer 2 via the label issuing personal computer 22.
Sent to 0. The host computer 20 first identifies the child part number, the number of packages, the number of reels, the model limitation information, and the reverse winding information corresponding to the delivery key number from the parts management table ((15) to (2), ( 4), (5), (1
1) and (12) are specified). Next, a data group consisting of the specified data (excluding the number of reels), the delivery key number, and the status information "01" indicating that the inspection has been completed is temporarily stored as "reel basic data". Keep it. In addition, from the parts management table, the delivery key number of the "reel basic data" is associated with (1) to
(14) is specified and these are temporarily stored as "label basic data" together with the delivery key number. Then, the label issuing process is performed each time a reel serial number is generated in the same number as the reel number (5) in sequence.

The contents of this label issuing process are as follows. That is, first, the reel serial number (A) is input to the reel management table, and the delivery key number (B), child part number (C), number of packages (D), which are associated with the reel serial number, are input.
Information of "reel basic data" is input as status information (G), model limitation information (H), and reverse winding information (I).
Then, the same value as the number of packages (D) is input to the remaining number of parts (F). This is because the electronic components mounted on the reel have not been used yet. Next, the storage area number corresponding to the child area number of the "reel basic data" is specified from the child area number related information table (is specified), and the identification result is the storage area number (E) of the reel management table. Enter as. Then, the "label basic data" is transmitted to the label issuing personal computer 22 together with the reel serial number (A). By the above label issuing processing, after a data group including the newly generated reel serial number (A) and each data associated with this is added to the reel management table, the data required for label issuing is It is transmitted to the label issuing personal computer 22. The data group added to the reel management data table is (A)-
Specific information is entered only in (I), and the remaining (J) to (N) are defaults. Specific information is input to these in the setup step (S6) and the like.

Upon receiving the data from the host computer 20, the label issuing personal computer 22 prints the label on which the "label basic data", the delivery key number, and the reel serial number (A) are printed, on the number of reels (5). Is output from the label issuing machine 23. The reel serial number (A), which is the identification information for each packing unit, is also printed in the barcode format.

In the label issuing work for issuing the label as described above, the label can be issued only by reading the bar code of the receipt slip with the scanner, so the child part number (2) and the number of packages (4 ), It is possible to avoid a situation in which the arrival date (14) or the like is erroneously read or input incorrectly and a label on which incorrect information is printed is issued.

FIG. 16 is a schematic diagram for explaining a stocking operation in the conventional board manufacturing system. In the figure, an operator carries the reel to which the above label is attached to a storage room by a trolley. In this storage room, a plurality of storage shelves for storing reels are arranged, and each of the storage shelves is lined with storage areas divided into predetermined spaces. One storage area corresponds to one type of electronic component (one child part number), and is a storage position for storing a dedicated type of electronic component. A shelf sticker with the child part number of the corresponding electronic component is affixed to each storage area, and the worker writes it on the child part number shown on the receipt slip and the shelf sticker of each storage area. The storage area corresponding to the reel (electronic component) that was carried is found while checking the child part number that is stored. However, at this time, the child part number written on the receipt slip or the child part number written on the shelf sticker may be misread and the reel may be put in the wrong storage area. Further, conventionally, the above-mentioned parts management table and the data relating to the electronic components after being stored have been separately managed, and the data relating to the electronic components already stored have been input to another computer dedicated to the storage management. However, there was a case where an input error occurred when making this input. Of course, if there is an input error, accurate inventory management will not be possible.

FIG. 7 is a perspective view showing the wireless terminal 29. In the figure, this wireless terminal is provided with an arithmetic processing unit (not shown), an input operation unit 31 for inputting data into the processing unit, and a screen display unit 3 including a liquid crystal display or the like.
2. A transmission / reception unit 33 that transmits / receives SS radio waves, a scanner unit 34 that reads a barcode by a known technique, and the like are provided. Since the whole is palm-sized, each worker can carry it with ease. This transmitting / receiving unit 33 and the SS shown in FIG.
In this board manufacturing system for realizing wireless data communication between the wireless terminal 29 and the host computer 20 by the wireless LAN 28, the wireless terminal 29 is allowed to perform data communication with the host computer 20 without connecting a cable. You can Therefore, the movement of the terminal is not restricted by the cable from the host computer.

FIG. 8 is a schematic diagram for explaining the warehousing operation in the substrate manufacturing system according to this embodiment. In the figure, the operator inputs information indicating that the warehousing process is to be performed to the wireless terminal 29, causes the operator to read the bar code of the delivery key number described on the warehousing slip, and further attaches it to the storage area. Have the reader read the bar code on the shelf sticker. Then, when the reel corresponding to the receipt slip is not suitable for the storage area, a storage area difference alarm, which is an inadequate storage location alarm, is displayed on the image display unit 32 of the wireless terminal 29. Conventionally, the child part number was written on the shelf sticker, but in this system, instead of the child part number which is the product type information,
The storage area number, which is the type association information and the storage position information, is described in the barcode format.

The above-mentioned storage area difference alarm is issued as follows, that is, first, the host computer 20
When the delivery key number data is sent from the wireless terminal 29 through the SS wireless LAN 28, the storage area number associated with the delivery key number is specified from the reel management table ((B) to (E). ) Specified). Next, when the data of the storage area number is sent from the wireless terminal 20,
This is collated with the previously specified storage area number, and if they match, an OK signal is emitted to the wireless terminal device 20. Further, the status information (G) is changed from “Inspected (01)” to Shelf inventory (02) for all the association data groups including the delivery key number for the reel management table.
Process to update to. On the other hand, if the storage area numbers do not match, a NO signal, which is alarm generation information, is issued to the wireless terminal 20 to display the storage area difference alarm. In such a warehousing operation, the reel is erroneously stored due to a misreading of the child part number described in the warehousing slip and the child part number described in the shelf sticker (in this embodiment, the storage section number instead). It is possible to avoid the situation of entering the ward.

In FIG. 3 described above, the host computer 20 stores various data necessary for manufacturing electronic circuit board products. It is a parent part number assigned to each type of electronic circuit board product, child part numbers of all electronic components used in the electronic circuit board product, NC data for operating the mounter 1, and the like. A plurality of production lines are installed in the facility, and different types of electronic circuit board products can be manufactured. In addition, each production line is provided with a mounter personal computer 21 and one or more mounters 1 corresponding thereto, and by passing one substrate through a plurality of mounters 1, all of the mounters required for manufacturing are provided. Electronic components are mounted on the board. Further, each production line manufactures different electronic circuit board products for each time zone in order to carry out on-demand type production.

The host computer 20 is also connected to a work instruction computer (not shown) provided in each production line, and a printer is further connected to this computer. Before starting the work, the worker working on the production line prints out the production instructions necessary for the work of the day from this computer. This production instruction document is divided into a plurality of lists such as a parts preparation list, a reel cassette preparation list, a setup instruction list, a mounter setting list, and a first product (a product manufactured first in response to a production instruction) checklist. By advancing the work according to these lists, the worker can perform each work for manufacturing different electronic circuit board products for each time zone. The component preparation list is printed out in the conventional system, but is not printed out in the board manufacturing system according to the present embodiment because it is unnecessary.

In order to set the electronic parts on the mounter 1, first, the required reels are taken out of the storage room, or the required reel cassettes are picked up from a cassette shelf (not shown) arranged beside the production line. I have to come and go. Therefore, conventionally, the reels and the reel cassettes are prepared while looking at the parts preparation list and the reel cassette preparation list.

FIG. 17 is a schematic diagram for explaining a shipping operation in the conventional board manufacturing system. The worker
First, check each child part number listed in the above parts preparation list against the child part number on the label attached to the reel of the reel cassette that was used up to the previous manufacturing, and check if there is a reel required on that day. Check. If there is a required reel, the tape remaining amount (roll amount) of that reel
Check from the side to roughly estimate the remaining number of parts,
It will be described in the above parts preparation list. Usually, the number of insufficient parts is insufficient, so the number of missing parts is calculated manually. In addition, the reel is checked for model limitations and whether or not there is reverse winding. As for the model-restricted or reverse-wound reels, a dedicated label is preliminarily attached at the time of the above-described inspection work, and therefore the presence or absence of this label is checked.
After finishing the parts confirmation work in the production line, next, go to the above storage room, reels of the kind that were not in the line,
The additional reels are shipped to compensate for the missing parts.

Also in this delivery, the remaining number of parts is roughly estimated from the remaining tape amount for each electronic part,
We will pick up the reels until the total number of remaining parts exceeds the required number. At this time, since the remaining number of each component is not an accurate value, an error will inevitably occur between the total value and the true total number of components. When the former is much smaller than the latter, the number of delivered parts is less than the required number of parts, and the shortage of reels occurs, and it takes time to go to the storage room during line operation. Further, in the production line, electronic components may be damaged due to various mistakes. For this reason, the worker tends to estimate the total value to a small extent and issue more reels than necessary. Also, when unloading various electronic parts, the child part numbers of the electronic parts listed in the parts preparation list, the child part numbers of the shelf seals described in the shelf seals, and the reels taken out from the shelves It is necessary to check the child part number printed on the attached label. At the time of this collation, a wrong reel may be misread and the wrong reel may be delivered. For electronic components that were not delivered in time from the storage room, it is necessary to go to another storage location, an automated warehouse, and take them out. In addition, delivery is performed in the order of loading. The order of loading refers to the order of loading substrates for various electronic circuit board products into the production line, and is a type unit of electronic circuit board products to be manufactured.

FIG. 9 is a schematic diagram for explaining a shipping operation in the substrate manufacturing system according to this embodiment. In this board manufacturing system, an instruction from the host computer 20 is sent without issuing the above-mentioned parts preparation list.
S By sending to the wireless terminal 29 via the wireless LAN 28,
It is designed to allow the worker to carry out the leaving work. Also,
Conventionally, all the reels required for the work of the day were delivered in one delivery operation, but in this system, the delivery operation is performed in two stages: assembly delivery and replacement delivery. There is. The assembling shipping is a shipping operation for shipping only the required number of reels in the corresponding loading order.
As many reels as the required number of reel cassettes are delivered. Further, the exchange shipping is a shipping operation for shipping the remaining replacement reels. As described above, by separately performing the assembling delivery and the exchange delivery, the number of handling reels at the time of setup can be reduced and the work can be facilitated. Further, it is possible to start the operation of the line more quickly by preparing only the reels that can operate the line.

First, the worker will carry out the assembly and delivery. Specifically, after inputting the information to the effect that the assembling / discharging is performed to the wireless terminal 29, the production instruction number and the production line number bar code printed in the setup instruction list are sequentially read. Then, the host computer 20
Specifies the required child part number for each feeding order based on these numbers. And one room for workers
After rearranging the order of child part numbers (pickup order of reels) so that all reels corresponding to those child part numbers can be picked up only by making a turn, first the first child part number is specified. Further, after the storage section number corresponding to the child part number is specified from the child part number related information table (identified from), these child part numbers and storage area numbers are input together with the required number of parts and the image display section 32. Data to be displayed on the wireless terminal 29. The operator moves to the position of the storage area number () displayed on the wireless terminal 29 and picks up the reel from the position, and then the bar code (reel serial number) of the label attached to the reel is wireless terminal. Let machine 29 read it. The host computer 20 identifies the child part number corresponding to the reel serial number sent from the wireless terminal 29 from the reel management table (identifies (A) to (C)). Then, the identification result is collated with the child part number identified from the child part number related information table.

If the two match, an OK signal is sent to the wireless terminal 29, and then the reel serial number (A) sent from the wireless terminal 29 in the reel management table is sent. The data of the status information (G) associated with () is updated from “shelf inventory (02)” to “preparation (50)”. With this update, the production manager can grasp that the reel corresponding to the reel serial number has been delivered, based on the reel management table of the host computer 20. In addition, the host computer 20 specifically specifies (J) to (N) in the reel management table based on the production instruction number, the production line number, the reel serial number, etc. sent from the wireless terminal 29 in advance. Enter the desired numerical value. By this input, in which production instruction number the reel is,
It becomes possible to later specify which production line, which equipment (mounter, etc.), which Z-axis number was picked up in what order and in what order.
The Z-axis number (N) in the reel management data table is the reel cassette mounting position of the mounter 1 with respect to the cassette moving table 3, and has the nature of mounting portion information.

On the other hand, if they do not match, a warning indicating that the picked-up type is unsuitable and a child part number difference warning is issued.
A NO signal is sent to the display. By displaying this child part number error alarm on the image display unit 32 of the wireless terminal 29, the operator can avoid the situation of noticing the error and leaving the wrong reel type. can do. If the sub-number difference warning is not issued,
The reels are placed in a box corresponding to the loading order among the boxes prepared in advance for the loading order. The above-mentioned work is performed for all the assembling reels, whereby the assembling / discharging is completed.

In such a shipping operation, it is possible to avoid an incorrect shipping of the reel due to an erroneous reading of the information written on the shelf sticker or the information written on the label attached to the reel. Host computer 20
Stores the accurate remaining quantity of components in each reel in association with the reel serial number for the reason described below,
When the reel of the electronic component instructed to the operator is picked up without fail, the remaining component number is subtracted from the required component number to calculate the remaining required component number. Then, the data of the remaining amount of the component and the calculated remaining number of required components are provided to the wireless terminal 2
It is transmitted so as to be displayed on the image display unit 32 of 9. Therefore, the worker can accurately grasp the number of remaining necessary parts by displaying the image display unit 32 of the wireless terminal 29 when leaving the warehouse. Then, as a result, it is possible to avoid the situation in which the total value of the electronic components that have been delivered is estimated to be small and the reels are delivered more than necessary as in the conventional case. Note that the exchange shipping is almost the same as the assembly shipping, and thus the description thereof is omitted.

FIG. 18 is a schematic diagram for explaining the cassette preparation work and the assembly work in the setup process of the conventional substrate manufacturing system. The worker divides the collected reels into piles in the order of loading so that they can be distinguished, and arranges them on the work desk, and then first prepares the above-mentioned setup instruction list for the order of loading 1. As shown in the figure, this setup instruction list includes Z axis numbers indicating the mounting positions of the reel cassettes on the mounter, corresponding child part numbers, required parts set numbers (quantities), parts names, and the like. . First, the worker specifies, for example, a child part number corresponding to the Z-axis number 1 from the list, and finds a reel corresponding to the child part number from the pile of the reels in the loading order 1 arranged on the work desk. At this time, the child part number specified from the list and the child part number of the label attached to the reel are collated and searched for, but the wrong reel may still be picked up due to misreading. In addition, the reels found are set in the reel cassette,
You must select a cassette that matches the type of electronic component. This cassette selection required a lot of experience and knowledge. Therefore, the cassette selection may be mistaken and the reel cassette or the mounter may malfunction. Incidentally, it is general that the reel cassettes are prepared by the number corresponding to the required Z-axis numbers, and the reel cassette is replaced when the electronic components are used up. This is to avoid complication of the work due to preparing a huge amount of reel cassettes.

On the other hand, the host computer 20 of the board manufacturing system according to this embodiment stores all reel cassettes in the facility as a cassette management table in association with the following items. -Cassette management table (a) Cassette serial number (b) Cassette module number (c) Reel serial number of the set reel (d) Applicable facility number The applicable facility number in (d) above is the facility number. Among equipments such as a mounter, equipments to which the reel cassette can be attached are shown, and usually a plurality of numbers are input. Even if a reel cassette having the same cassette module number cannot be used depending on the equipment, this application equipment number is prepared for each reel cassette.

FIG. 10 is a schematic diagram for explaining the cassette preparation work in the setup process of the substrate manufacturing system according to this embodiment. First, the operator causes the wireless terminal device 29 to read one of a plurality of bar codes printed in the above-mentioned setup instruction list which is output in advance, which corresponds to the setup to be performed. Specifically, the bar code is a bar code of the production instruction number, the production line number, the order of introduction, and the equipment number. Next, the operator picks up one of the reels corresponding to the insertion order and causes the reel serial number of the label attached to the reel to be read in a bar code format. Then, the wireless terminal 29
Sends the read result to the host computer 20 together with the previous bar code read result (production instruction number, etc.). The host computer that receives these reading results
The child part number and the Z-axis number associated with the received reel serial number are specified from the reel management table ((A) to (C), (N) are specified). Further, the cassette module number associated with the specified child part number is specified from the child part number related information table (specify from). Then, the child part number, Z-axis number and cassette module number are transmitted to the wireless terminal 29. The wireless terminal 29 that receives them receives the production instruction number, the production line number, the loading sequence number, the reel serial number, the child part number,
The equipment number, Z-axis number and cassette module number are displayed on the image display section 32. It should be noted that the production instruction number, the production line number, the input sequence number, and the equipment number each have a character as instruction information. In addition, since the type of electronic circuit board product is specified by the combination of the production instruction number, the production line number, and the loading sequence number, the combination of these has the character as the processed product information.

If the cassette module number () is "0804SP", for example, "tape width = 08 mm,
Pitch = 04 mm, reel size = small, tape material =
"Paper" is given according to a rule that allows the operator to functionally identify the type of cassette. Based on the display of this cassette module number, the operator
A reel cassette which may correspond thereto is prepared, and the wireless terminal device 29 is made to read the barcode of the cassette serial number which is the mounting device identification information of the label attached to the cassette. Upon receiving the read result, the host computer 20 specifies the cassette module number and the applicable equipment number associated with the read result from the cassette management table ((a) to (b) and (d)), The cassette module number of these is sent to the wireless terminal 29. If the cassette module number sent at this time and the cassette module number (E) sent earlier do not match, the wireless terminal 29 displays the above-mentioned warning of improper combination as "cassette module gait mass". It is displayed on the display unit 32.

In this cassette preparation work, unlike the conventional cassette preparation work, the child part number corresponding to the desired Z-axis number is specified from the setup instruction list, and the reel corresponding to this is searched from the reel pile. There is no work to do. Therefore, it is possible to avoid a situation in which the wrong reel is selected due to the misreading of the child part number of the list and the child part number of the reel. Further, since the reel cassette suitable for the reel is displayed on the image display unit 32 of the wireless terminal 29 as the cassette module number, it is possible to select the reel cassette suitable for the reel without abundant experience and knowledge. it can. Further, if a combination of a reel and a reel cassette that does not match the reel is mistakenly selected, an inappropriate combination warning is issued from the wireless terminal device 29, so that the reel cassette or the mounter can be prevented from malfunctioning due to an improper combination. When the combination of the reel cassette and the reel is appropriate, the wireless terminal 29 sends an OK signal to the host computer 20. The host computer 20 having received this judges whether or not the equipment number based on the production instruction plan is included in the above-mentioned applicable equipment number, and if not, the cassette is not suitable. A signal for displaying an alarm is sent to the wireless terminal 29. As a result, even if the cassette module number is the same, if the reel cassette does not match the equipment (mounter), a cassette inadequate alarm is displayed. If included (if applicable), after the reel serial number is input to the cassette management table, the status information (G) associated with the reel serial number is changed from "preparation (50)" to "preparation (50)". Assembly (51) "
Will be updated. As a result, the cassette serial number of the reel cassette and the reel serial number of the reel set in the cassette are associated with each other, and it is possible to specify that the reel is in the assembled state in the setup process.

FIG. 19 is a schematic diagram for explaining the cassette mounting operation in the setup process of the conventional board manufacturing system. For example, the operator specifies the child part number corresponding to the Z-axis number (PU) 1 from the above-mentioned setup instruction list, and prepares a reel cassette (a cassette in which reels are already set) corresponding to the child part number. Find out from. Then, a series of operations for mounting it on the Z-axis number 1 of the mounter is performed for all Z-axis numbers.

At the time of this work, the child part number of the list or the child part number of the label attached to the reel set in the reel cassette is erroneously read, and the child part numbers corresponding to different Z-axis numbers are selected from the list. There was a case where a wrong reel cassette was attached to the Z-axis number for reasons such as identification.

Further, although the child part number corresponds to the Z-axis number, the reel that should have been originally shipped for another facility may be set in the reel cassette. If the reels are set in this way, the consumption of the reels will not proceed as planned, and there is a risk that extra work will be forced. Specifically, for example, for the same type of electronic component, a set of 5 reels that approximately satisfies the required number of required components of 500 and a set of two reels that approximately satisfies the required number of required components of 1900 are issued. And The former set is a collection of reels where the remaining parts are almost exhausted, whereas the latter set has the remaining parts almost close to the initial state (1000).
It consists of two reels. Both sets were issued for the same production line on the same production line, but for different facilities (mounters). Here, it is assumed that the reels included in the latter set are erroneously mounted on the mounter as the reels included in the former set. Then, for the required number of parts of 500,
Since nearly 1000 electronic components are mounted, the mounter never runs out of the electronic components. On the other hand, in another mounter, even if all the remaining reels are put in with the operation of the line, there will be insufficient electronic parts. For this reason, an extra work of having to go out a new reel occurs.

FIG. 11 is a schematic diagram for explaining the cassette mounting operation in the setup process of the substrate manufacturing system according to this embodiment. After the operator inputs information to the wireless terminal 29 that the cassette mounting work is to be performed, the bar code of the production instruction number, the production line number, the loading sequence number, and the equipment number printed on the setup instruction list. Read sequentially. Then, select an arbitrary reel cassette from the multiple reel cassettes (reel set already) that correspond to the insertion order, and select the barcode of the cassette serial number on the label attached to it and the reel attached to it. The wireless terminal 29 is caused to read the bar code of the reel serial number of the attached label. Then, the cassette serial number, the reel serial number, and the equipment number previously read are transmitted to the host computer 20. The host computer 20, after recognizing the equipment number sent from the wireless terminal 29 as the "planned equipment number", identifies the equipment number associated with the sent cassette serial number from the reel management table ( (A) to (L)
Specified). Then, the identification result is compared with the "planned equipment number", and if they do not match, an equipment unsuitable signal is sent to the wireless terminal 2
Then, the image display section 32 is caused to display an equipment inadequate alarm such as “SHIRUSUTSUTSU BIGIGAU”.
By this display, the worker notices that the reel set in the reel cassette has been put out for another mounter, and can search again for the reel cassette in which the original reel is set. Therefore, it is possible to avoid a situation in which the reels are not consumed as planned and extra work is forced.

When the comparison results of the equipment numbers match, the host computer 20 specifies the Z-axis number associated with the reel serial number sent from the wireless terminal 29 together with the cassette serial number from the reel management table. (Specify (A) to (N)). Then, the identification result is transmitted to the wireless terminal 29 and displayed on the image display unit 32. The operator can easily know the mounting position of the reel cassette to the mounter and mount the cassette simply by referring to the Z-axis number displayed on the image display unit 32. In such a cassette mounting, unlike the conventional board manufacturing system, the child part number of the setup instruction list or the child part number of the reel is misread, and the child part number corresponding to the different Z-axis number is specified from the list. It is possible to avoid a situation where the wrong reel cassette is attached to the Z-axis number due to the mistake. The host computer 20 stores a Z-axis confirmation table in which the Z-axis number and the cassette serial number are associated with each other for all mounters.
The cassette serial number used to specify the Z-axis number from the reel management table is input as the cassette serial number associated with the Z-axis number in the Z-axis checking table.

FIG. 20 is a schematic diagram for explaining the Z-axis confirmation work in the setup process of the conventional substrate manufacturing system. Two workers are required for this Z-axis confirmation work. For this reason, an operator who has completed the task of mounting the cassette by himself has to take the trouble of searching for another operator who has a free hand in order to perform the Z-axis confirmation operation. When a worker is found to help, one of the Z-axis numbers listed in the setup instruction list
Read the numbers in the order of axis number, child part number, and part name.
Then, another worker checks whether the reel of the read contents is set for the reel cassette actually set in the mounter. At this time, there was a situation in which the equipment was noisy and difficult to hear, so that the user repeatedly listened to it. The Z-axis number is determined by the mounting position of the cassette on the mounter, and the child part number is determined by the description on the label attached to the reel set in the cassette. It is judged by the description of the sticker that is attached to the reel in advance by the manufacturer. At this time, if the manufacturer describes the part name in a format different from that of the facility, the confirmation operator will be confused.

FIG. 12 is a schematic diagram for explaining the Z-axis confirmation work in the setup process of the substrate manufacturing system according to this embodiment. The operator inputs information indicating that the Z-axis confirmation work is to be performed to the wireless terminal 29, and then the production instruction number, the production line number, the loading sequence number, and the equipment number printed on the setup instruction list are input. Read barcodes one after another. Then, the cassette serial numbers of all reel cassettes mounted on the corresponding mounter are sequentially read from the reel cassette on one end side of the mounter. The host computer 20 collates the reading results of the cassette serial numbers sequentially sent from the wireless terminal device 29 with the corresponding cassette serial numbers in the Z-axis confirmation table, and if they match, an OK signal is sent to the wireless terminal device. Send to 29. If they do not match, a signal is sent to the image display unit to display a mismatch warning such as "PU Gachigau". In such a Z-axis confirmation work, unlike the conventional board manufacturing system, the Z-axis number can be confirmed by one operator, so it is troublesome to go to find another operator who has a free hand. It can be avoided. Also, the labor of having two workers collate the Z-axis number, child part number, and part name listed in the setup instruction list with the Z-axis number, child part number, and part name in the actual mounter is omitted. can do. Further, it is possible to avoid the confusion of the confirmation operator due to the manufacturer sticking the component name to the reel in a format different from that of the facility when collating the component name.

The host computer 20 performs the reverse winding check process in parallel with the confirmation of the Z-axis number. Specifically, with respect to a plurality of cassette serial numbers sequentially sent from the wireless terminal device 29, the reel serial numbers respectively associated with the cassette serial numbers are specified from the cassette management table ((a) to (c) are specified). The reverse winding information associated with the specifying result is specified from the reel management table ((A) to (I) are specified). Then, when the identification result is the data “present”, the reverse winding signal is transmitted to the wireless terminal 29. Upon receiving this signal, the wireless terminal 29 displays a reverse winding alarm, and the operator changes the NC data of the mounter based on this reverse winding alarm, so that the electronic components can be oriented in the normal direction even if the reverse winding reel cassette is used. Mounted.

When the Z-axis confirmation work is completed normally, the host computer 20 sets the status information (G) in the reel management table for each of the reel serial numbers specified in the Z-axis check. "Assemble (51)" is updated to "Use (52)". This update makes it possible to identify that each reel is mounted on the mounter and contributes to the mounting.

FIG. 21 is a schematic diagram for explaining the reel exchange work in the mounting process of the conventional board manufacturing system. The mounter is configured to notify that fact when a reel cassette with no electronic components is generated, and interrupt the operation. Based on this notification, the operator removes the reel cassette from the mounter, and then further removes the reel from the cassette. Then, the child part number of the label attached to the reel is read, the corresponding reel is specified and picked up from the pile of reels in the same loading order, and then this is set in the reel cassette. At this time, a wrong reel may be set by misreading the child part number of either reel. In addition, when reels are replaced, it is necessary to confirm reverse winding of both reels in addition to the child part number. If the reels before replacement and the reels for refilling have different winding directions, the NC data for the Z-axis number must be changed so that the electronic components are mounted 180 degrees inverted. This is because it must be done. Further, regarding the reel for replenishment, it is necessary to further check the model limitation information, and if there is a limitation, it is necessary to check whether the limitation is for the electronic circuit board under production.

FIG. 13 is a schematic view for explaining the reel exchange work in the mounting process of the board manufacturing system according to the present embodiment. After removing the reel cassette from the mounter, the worker further removes the reel from the reel cassette. Then, after inputting information to the effect that the reel replacement work will be performed to the wireless terminal device 29, the barcode of the reel serial number of the reel removed from the cassette is read. Next, a reel having the same child part number as the child part number printed on the label of the reel is searched for from the pile of the reels prepared by the exchange shipping, and the bar code of the reel serial number is read. The host computer first identifies the equipment number associated with each reel serial number from the reel management table (identifies (A) to (L)), and if both equipment numbers do not match, the setup is performed. In the same manner as at the time, a facility inadequate alarm such as "Short-spotted glutton" is displayed on the image display unit 32. Therefore, even during the replacement work, it is possible to avoid a situation in which the reels for different mounters are replaced and the consumption of the reels does not proceed as planned.

When both equipment numbers match, the host computer 20 then specifies the child part number and the reverse winding information associated with each reel serial number from the reel management table (for each reel serial number). (Specify (A) to (C) and (I)). Then, both child part numbers (C) are compared, and if they match, an OK signal is transmitted to the wireless terminal 29. On the other hand, if they do not match, a signal for displaying an erroneous mounting warning, such as "Kobubangachigau", is transmitted to the image display unit.
Therefore, based on this display, the worker can avoid the occurrence of mass production of defective products due to mounting the wrong reel on the mounter by replacement.

Further, the host computer 20 collates both the specified results of the reverse winding information, and if they do not match, it is necessary to change the NC data of the Z-axis number on which the reel should be mounted. Information of the wireless terminal 2
9 is displayed on the image display unit 32. Therefore, the operator can avoid mass production of defective products due to overlooking the difference in winding direction between the old reel and the new reel by changing the NC data based on this display.

Further, the host computer 20 specifies the model restriction information associated with the reel serial number of the new reel from the parts management table (specifies (A) to (H)), and uses the information indicating the restricted model. If so, it is determined whether or not it is limited to the electronic circuit board products in the order of introduction. Then, if the determination result is “No”, the image display unit 32 of the wireless terminal 29 warns that the model is not compatible.
To display. Therefore, by changing the replacement reel based on this display, the worker can avoid mass production of defective products by assembling the electronic component on the electronic circuit board that does not conform to the model limitation of the electronic component. .
After confirming the model limitation in this way, the host computer 20 obtains the status information (G) of the reel management table corresponding to the reel serial number of the new reel.
Update to "Use (52)".

For the used reels that are unlikely to be used in the subsequent production, it is necessary to carry out the returning work by carrying the reels to the storage room by a dolly and storing them in a predetermined storage area. In the conventional board manufacturing system, at the time of this return work, as in the case of storage immediately after arrival, wrong storage due to misreading of the child part number of the label attached to the reel or the child part number of the shelf label in the storage area I sometimes put reels in the ward.

FIG. 14 is a schematic diagram for explaining the counting operation in the counting step of the substrate manufacturing system according to this embodiment. In this board manufacturing system, for the reels that have been used up, the remaining number of parts is counted by the counting machine 26 shown in FIG. The counting machine 26 counts electronic components on a carrier tape by sequentially passing a carrier tape wound from a reel to a temporary winding reel through a transmissive photosensor. The count result is sent to the count information input personal computer 25.
It is necessary for the personal computer 25 for inputting the count information to recognize which reel serial number the sent count result corresponds to. The scanner 27 is used for this recognition.
Read the reel label by. Therefore,
It is possible to avoid a situation in which an incorrect reel serial number is input and the remaining number of parts corresponding thereto is updated to an incorrect value. The personal computer 25 for inputting the counting information is a counting machine 26
The count result sent from the device is sent to the host computer 20 together with the reel serial number read by the scanner 27. Further, the counting result is printed on the label by the label issuing machine 35 and output. The worker attaches the issued label to the reel. With this attachment, the remaining number of parts on the reel can be seen at a glance. The host computer 20 updates the remaining part number (F) of the reel management table corresponding to the reel serial number sent from the count information input personal computer 25 to the value of the count result, and then manages the reel. The status information (G) in the table is updated to "count (70)".

As described above, with respect to the used reel, the inventory of various electronic components in the facility can be accurately grasped by updating the remaining component number. Further, by accurately grasping the inventory, it is possible to reduce the number of inventories by suppressing unnecessary receipts. It should be noted that the reel that has used up all the electronic components cannot be put on the counting machine 26. Although the status information (G) has been updated to "use (52)", the host computer 20 uses the status information (G) in the reel management table as "use" for reels that are not counted. Completed (99) ".

For the reels that have been counted, the future use schedule is confirmed. Specifically, after inputting information to the wireless terminal to execute the usage schedule confirmation process, the bar code (reel serial number) on the label attached to the reel is read and transmitted to the host computer 20. Then, after identifying the child part number (C) from the reel management table, the host computer 20 confirms whether or not there is a plan to use the electronic component corresponding to the child part number based on each data of the production plan. To do. If there is, the planned production line number is transmitted to the wireless terminal device 29, and if there is no, data to that effect is transmitted to the wireless terminal 29. The operator confirms the display of the wireless terminal 29 based on this transmission,
If you do not plan to use it, return the reel to the storage area. If there is a plan to use the reel, put the reel on a temporary storage shelf near the displayed production line.

The returning operation in the substrate manufacturing system according to this embodiment is performed as follows. That is, after inputting information to the effect that the device is returned to the wireless terminal device 29, the bar code (reel serial number) on the label attached to the reel and the bar code (storage area number) on the shelf sticker are read. Then, the host computer 20 is made to judge the suitability of the return position based on these. The host computer 20 determines the suitability thereof by the same processing as the above-described processing for warehousing. Then, when it is appropriate, the status information (G) of the reel management table corresponding to the reel serial number is set to "return (8
0) ”.

In the board manufacturing system having the above-described structure, while suppressing the mass production of defective products due to various work mistakes such as erroneous mounting, it is possible to suppress the difference in the storage section of electronic components and the error in taking them out, and to finish mounting from receipt. By flexibly responding to on-demand type production demands, by shortening the time to market and further reducing the inventory of various electronic parts and realizing orders that can effectively use even rare kinds of electronic parts be able to.

The substrate manufacturing system provided with a mounter for mounting / removing the reel cassette as the detachable mounter has been described so far. Can be applied. Further, the component manufacturing system including the wireless terminal 29 that reads the barcode as the identification information formed as an image has been described, but the terminal may read the invisible identification information that is magnetically or electronically formed. . Furthermore, the present invention can be applied to an article manufacturing system including not only a mounter or an inserter but another component assembling apparatus for assembling a component on some base material.
