Abstract

A component verification method includes a component ID reading process of reading a component ID corresponding to a stored component of a subsequent tape, a tape insertion detecting process of detecting that the subsequent tape has been inserted into a tape feeder, a feeder specifying process of specifying a tape feeder in which the insertion of the subsequent tape has been detected, and a component verifying process of verifying whether or not a correspondence relationship between the read component ID and the specified tape feeder is correct.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A component verification method for verifying whether or not a stored component of a subsequent tape subsequently inserted into a tape feeder, in a state where a preceding tape precedingly sent out of two carrier tapes sequentially sent one after another is set, for component replenishment is correct, in a component mounting apparatus that picks up components, which are supplied from carrier tapes tape-fed by a plurality of tape feeders arrayed in a component supply unit, by a mounting head to mount the components on a substrate,
the component verification method comprising:
a component ID reading process of reading a component ID corresponding to the stored component of the subsequent tape;
a tape insertion detecting process of detecting that the subsequent tape has been inserted into the tape feeder;
a feeder specifying process of specifying a tape feeder in which the insertion of the subsequent tape has been detected; and
a component verifying process of verifying whether or not a correspondence relationship between the read component ID and the specified tape feeder is correct.

2. The component verification method according to claim 1 , wherein, if the tape feeder specified in the feeder specifying process is wrong, a fact is visually notified.

3. The component verification method according to claim 2 ,
wherein, if the component ID read in the component ID reading process is correct, visual notification for specifying a tape feeder into which a carrier tape corresponding to the component ID is to be inserted is performed.

4. The component verification method according to claim 1 ,
wherein in the tape insertion detecting process, the subsequent tape insertion is detected based on a fact that a sprocket provided in a tape feed mechanism that tape-feeds the subsequent tape rotates in accordance with the insertion of the subsequent tape.

5. A component verification system that verifies whether or not a stored component of a subsequent tape subsequently inserted into a tape feeder, in a state where a preceding tape precedingly sent out of two carrier tapes sequentially sent one after another is set, for component replenishment is correct, in a component mounting apparatus that picks up components, which are supplied from carrier tapes tape-fed by a plurality of tape feeders arrayed in a component supply unit, by a mounting head to mount the components on a substrate,
the component verification system comprising:
a component ID reading unit that reads a component ID corresponding to the stored component of the subsequent tape;
a tape insertion detecting unit that detects that the subsequent tape has been inserted into the tape feeder;
a feeder specifying unit that specifies a tape feeder in which the insertion of the subsequent tape has been detected; and
a component verifying unit that verifies whether or not a correspondence relationship between the read component ID and the specified tape feeder is correct.

6. The component verification system according to claim 5 , further comprising
a notification unit that visually notifies, if the tape feeder specified by the feeder specifying unit is wrong, a fact to that effect.

7. The component verification system according to claim 6 , further comprising
a notification unit that performs, if the component ID read by the component ID reading unit is correct, visual notification for specifying a tape feeder into which a carrier tape corresponding to the component ID is to be inserted.

8. The component verification system according to claim 5 ,
wherein the tape insertion detecting unit detects the subsequent tape insertion based on a fact that a sprocket provided in a tape feed mechanism that tape-feeds the subsequent tape rotates in accordance with the insertion of the subsequent tape.
