  • Publication number: 20210124856
    Abstract: A method for optimizing component type arrangement in which multiple component types are optimally disposed on multiple installation positions when an automatic feeder device which automatically loads the component storage tape, a manual feeder device which does not automatically load the component storage tape, and a reel holding device are installed into the installation positions on a common pallet, the method includes a step of determining a portion of the multiple installation positions as a fixed position and fixing the determined automatic feeder device to the fixed position; and an optimizing step of performing a simulation optimally disposing the multiple component types on the multiple installation positions under a condition that the manual feeder device can be moved to an arbitrary installation position other than the fixed position without moving the automatic feeder device from the fixed position.

  • Patent number: 10869420
    Abstract: A method for optimizing component type allocation in which multiple component types of components are optimally allocated to an automatic feeder device which automatically loads the component storage tape and a manual feeder device which does not automatically load when the automatic feeder device and the manual feeder device are installed installation positions on a common pallet, the method including: a workability evaluating step of evaluating a magnitude of labor in a splicing work for replenishing and connecting a new component storage tape in the manual feeder device for each of component types; and an automatic side allocating step of preferentially allocating component type having large labor in the splicing work to the automatic feeder device. Accordingly, the splicing work can be reduced by effectively using the automatic feeder device, and it can contribute to the improvement of the production efficiency of the board.
