Abstract:
1. An operating time reducing method for a component mounter, the method comprising: an operation loss identifying step of identifying an operation loss to be resolved in the component mounter; a processing procedure selecting step of selecting, based on the identified operation loss, a processing procedure for reducing an operating time of the component mounter; and a processing procedure executing step of executing the selected processing procedure, wherein the component mounter is provided with a rotary head which, while rotating about an axis, picks up components and mounts the components onto a board, wherein the selected processing procedure is a component mounting order determination method for the component mounter, wherein a board mark provided on the board for board positioning or a point included in component mounting points where a first component is mounted is defined as a start point, wherein for an arbitrary two points among a plurality of component mounting points and the start point, a distance between the two points or a time duration necessary from completion of mounting of a component on one of the two points until completion of mounting of a component on the other of the two points is defined as a cost for the two as points, wherein a point set up hypothetically as a last movement point is defined as a dummy point, wherein the component mounting order determination method includes: wherein the dummy point is a hypothetical point where a cost relative to each component mounting point is greater than a cost for every two points among the plurality of component mounting points and the start point, and where a cost relative to the start point is smaller than a cost for every two points among the plurality of component mounting points and the start point.
