Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A component mounting method includes independent mounting and cross lane alternate mounting. The independent mounting performs an operation of mounting a component on a first board carried in a first board transport lane from a first component supplier, and an operation of mounting a component on a second board carried in a second board transport lane from a second component supplier. The cross lane alternate mounting alternately performs an operation of mounting the component on the first board carried in the first board transport lane from the second component supplier, and an operation of mounting the component on the second board carried in the second board transport lane from the first component supplier.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A component mounting method in a component mounting apparatus including a first board transport lane, a first mounting head, a second board transport lane which is disposed along the first board transport lane, a second mounting head, a first component supplier which is disposed closer to the first board transport lane than to the second board transport lane, and a second component supplier which is disposed closer to the second board transport lane than to the first board transport lane, the method comprising: independent mounting of independently performing an operation of sucking a component from the first component supplier by the first mounting head, and mounting the component on a first board carried in the first board transport lane, and an operation of sucking a component from the second component supplier by the second mounting head, and mounting the component on a second board carried in the second board transport lane; and cross lane alternate mounting of alternately performing an operation of sucking a component from the second component supplier by the second mounting head, and mounting the component on the first board carried in the first board transport lane, and an operation of sucking a component from the first component supplier by the first mounting head, and mounting the component on the second board carried in the second board transport lane. 2. The component mounting method of claim 1 , wherein in a case where the independent mounting is capable of being executed, the independent mounting is executed, and wherein in a case where the independent mounting is not capable of being executed and the cross lane alternate mounting is capable of being executed, the cross lane alternate mounting is executed. 3. The component mounting method of claim 2 , wherein for each mounting turn in which the first mounting head and the second mounting head mount the components on the first board and the second board, determining which of the independent mounting and the cross lane alternate mounting is executed. 4. The component mounting method of claim 2 , further comprising: normally alternate mounting that alternately performs, for any one of the first board and the second board, an operation of sucking and mounting a component from the first component supplier by the first mounting head, and an operation of sucking and mounting a component from the second component supplier by the second mounting head. 5. The component mounting method of claim 1 , wherein for each mounting turn in which the first mounting head and the second mounting head mount the components on the first board and the second board, determining which of the independent mounting and the cross lane alternate mounting is executed. 6. The component mounting method of claim 1 , further comprising: normally alternate mounting that alternately performs, for at least any one of the first board and the second board, an operation of sucking and mounting a component from the first component supplier by the first mounting head, and an operation of sucking and mounting a component from the second component supplier by the second mounting head.
