Abstract: A workpiece holding body holding a workpiece having a three-dimensional shape is swung around a lateral swing axis to position the workpiece so that one mounting surface of the workpiece faces a predetermined worked direction and a viscous substance is printed on the one mounting surface of the workpiece which is positioned. The workpiece holding body is swung around the swing axis to position the workpiece so that another mounting surface of the workpiece in which the viscous substance is printed on one mounting surface faces the worked direction and to print the viscous substance on the other mounting surface of the workpiece which is positioned.

Abstract: An object is to provide a substrate conveyance apparatus and a substrate detection device capable of improving flexibility in arrangement layout. The substrate detection device includes a projector 41 for projecting inspection light 40 so as to pass through a predetermined position on a path of a substrate 4 conveyed by conveyance belts 26, a light receiver 42 for receiving the inspection light 40 projected by the projector 41, and a detector (a control device 15) for detecting that the substrate 4 reaches the predetermined position based on a decrease in the amount of received light of the inspection light 40 received by the light receiver 42 when the substrate 4 conveyed by the conveyance belts 26 reaches the predetermined position and a portion of the inspection light 40 is blocked by the substrate 4.

Abstract: A service receiving method for receiving a component library generated from mounted component data, including component size and mounting conditions, via a communication system that includes the Internet. The method includes the service provider receiving mounted component data having mounting conditions actually realized by a fabrication of non-defective products. The method also includes the service provider deriving a component library from a mounted component database.

Abstract: A heating characteristic value at any measuring point of an object at any measuring location of a heating furnace is determined as a single invariable by using temperature (Tint and Ts) measured at the measuring point of the object and heating temperature (Ta) and heating time (t) at the measuring location of the heating furnace. The heating characteristic value (m-value) may be calculated without using physical characteristics of the object. By using the m-value, a temperature profile of the object heated under a modified heating condition may be simulated in a short period of time without actually heating and measuring the temperature of the object at a high accuracy level. By using such a simulation, an appropriate heating condition for heating an object in accordance with a desired heating condition may easily be determined.

Abstract: A service receiving method for receiving a component library including component size necessary for mount production, by inputting, via a service receiver, to a service provider, mounted component data having the results of fabrication of non-defective products, through the communication system that includes the Internet and deriving, by the service receiver, the component library from a mounted component database provided in the service provider, the mounted component database containing the input mounted component data accumulated for each type of component.

Abstract: A service receiving device is provided for in a production facility such as a component mounting apparatus. A service providing device is provided for on a manufacturer's side of the production facility. The service receiving device and service providing device are configured to communicate with each other through various communication systems including, for example, the Internet. The communication system can be operated by software to create and/or transmit service responses to problems or production matters, including productivity or quality of maintenance.

Abstract: A method for monitoring a mounting tact of a component mounting apparatus including a component supplier for supplying a component and a component holder for holding the component from the component supplying device and mounting the component onto a circuit board. The method includes collecting and monitoring a mounting tact result value of the component mounting apparatus during a mounting operation via a communication system. The method further includes calculating a tact loss corresponding to an amount by which the mounting tact result value is greater than a standard mounting tact and monitoring the calculated tact loss.
