  • Patent number: 8086338
    Abstract: A service providing method for monitoring a mounting tact of a component mounting apparatus includes collecting, from the service receiver, mounting tact information including a mounting tact result value of the component mounting apparatus from the service receiver by use of a service provider via a communication system. The method additionally includes judging whether a mounting operation of the component mounting apparatus has a tact loss corresponding to an amount by which a mounting tact is greater than a standard mounting tact as a result of analysis of the collected mounting tact information and determining and feeding back, to the service receiver via the communication system, NC data for allowing the component mounting apparatus to be operated.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7885718
    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.

  • Patent number: 7536236
    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.

  • Patent number: 7440812
    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.

  • Patent number: 7142939
    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.
