Abstract:
Where a result of operations to mount electronic components is inspected, for example, an operating procedure of an inspecting operation is determined on the basis of mounting-condition information such as used-device information relating to used suction nozzles, feeders and other devices, and mounting-result information such as information relating to recovery actions. The operating procedure may be determined on the basis of device-usage hysteresis information as well. For instance, the inspection operation is performed on inspecting objects selected from the mounting objects, such as mounting objects mounted with nozzles of high mounting defect ratios, mounting objects mounted with feeders of long use, etc. Additional inspecting objects are selected such that each mounting object is inspected at a predetermined frequency or such that the inspection can be effected within a predetermined time. The inspecting order may be determined so as to complete the inspection in a shortest possible time.
Abstract:
A method of fabricating an electric circuit, including first and second working processes of performing respective first and second working operations on a circuit substrate, wherein the first working process includes a first substrate-identifying step of obtaining substrate identifying information identifying the substrate on which the first working operation is to be performed, a specific-information obtaining step of recognizing a specific-information providing portion of the substrate, to obtain specific information indicating at least one specific characteristic of the substrate, a first working step of performing the first working operation on the basis of the obtained specific information, and a specific-information storing step of storing the specific information in relation to the substrate identifying information, and the second working process includes a second substrate-identifying step of obtaining the substrate identifying information identifying the substrate on which the second working operation is to be performed, and a second working step of performing the second working operation on the basis of the specific information stored in relation to the substrate identifying information. Also disclosed are electric-circuit fabricating system and control program suitable to practice the method.
Abstract:
An electric-circuit fabricating system for fabricating an electric circuit, by performing a working operation on a circuit substrate, including a substrate holding device to hold the substrate, an imaging device to image a surface of the substrate on which the working operation is to be performed, an imaging control device to control the imaging device to take an image of a substrate-position fiducial mark provided on the substrate, and obtaining substrate-position information on the basis of the image, and a working device to perform the working operation on the substrate, on the basis of the substrate-position information, and wherein the imaging control device is operable to control the imaging device to take an image of a substrate ID mark provided on the substrate as held by the substrate holding device, for obtaining substrate identifying information identifying the substrate, on the basis of the image of the substrate ID mark. Also disclosed are a method and a control program for fabricating an electric circuit by performing the working operation on the substrate.
