  • Patent number: 10806037
    Abstract: A component mounting system includes a plurality of component supply devices (tape feeders) each of which supplies components from a component supply position and a component mounter that sucks the components from the component supply position of each of the plurality of component supply devices with a plurality of nozzles (suction nozzles) to install the components onto a board. A suction position correction value for correcting a suction position shift from a regular suction position when each of the nozzles sucks the components from the component supply position is calculated. The suction position is corrected based on the suction position correction value to suck the components. A suction position shift amount from the regular suction position is calculated. A feeder evaluation value, which is a sum of the suction position correction value and the suction position shift amount, is calculated for each of the plurality of component supply devices.
