Publication number: 20140090244Abstract: The present invention relates to a setup method for deciding component feeding apparatuses to be attached to each of mounting machines in a component mounting system. The setup method includes a first step of deciding component feeding apparatuses to be attached to each of the mounting machines based on substrate data defining components to be mounted by each of the mounting machines; a second step of determining whether or not there is within the components included in the substrate data a sole mounted component to be mounted by only one mounting machine among the multiple mounting machines; and a third step of deciding, when the determination is made that the sole mounted component exists, to attach component feeding apparatuses feeding the sole mounted component or an alternative component capable of replacing the sole mounted component onto at least one mounting machine other than the only one mounting machine.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 8, 2012Publication date: April 3, 2014Applicant: YAMAHA HATSUDOKI KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventor: Masaru Sakamoto
