Abstract

A component mounting system includes: a component mounter that moves a mounting head and allows a suction nozzle mounted in the mounting head to suck a component supplied by a parts feeder to mount the component on a substrate; a head maintenance device that executes maintenance of the mounting head; an inspection section that inspects a state of the mounting head undergone the maintenance; a use suitability determination section that determines whether or not use of the mounting head undergone the maintenance is suitable based on a result of the inspection; and a registration section that registers the mounting head determined to be not suitable for use.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A component mounting system comprising:
a component mounter that moves a mounting head by a head moving mechanism and allows a suction nozzle mounted in the mounting head to suck a component supplied by a parts feeder to mount the component on a substrate;
a head maintenance device that executes maintenance of the mounting head;
an inspection section that inspects a state of the mounting head after undergone undergoing the maintenance by the head maintenance device;
a use suitability determination section that determines whether or not use of the mounting head after undergoing maintenance by the head maintenance device is suitable based on a result of the inspection by the inspection section; and
a registration section that registers the mounting head determined to be not suitable for use by the use suitability determination section,
wherein use of the mounting head registered by the registration section is restricted in the component mounter,
the mounting head has a shaft member and a sliding member slidably attached to the shaft member,
the inspection section comprises a load cell and a control unit, the load cell detects a pressing load of the sliding member onto the load cell, and the control unit determines a quality of a sliding state of the sliding member with respect to the shaft member based on the detected pressing load.

2. The component mounting system according to claim 1 , wherein
the mounting head has a plurality of shaft members and sliding members slidably attached to the shaft members,
the maintenance which is executed by the head maintenance device is cleaning of an outer circumferential surface of the shaft member, and
the inspection which is performed by the inspection section is inspection of sliding states of the sliding members with respect to the shaft members.

3. The component mounting system according to claim 1 ,
wherein the component mounter further comprises a feeder base that holds the parts feeder, and wherein the head maintenance device is replaced with the parts feeder and attached to the feeder base.

4. The component mounting system according to claim 2 ,
wherein the component mounter further comprises a feeder base that holds the parts feeder, and wherein the head maintenance device is replaced with the parts feeder and attached to the feeder base.
