Whether a spare component for the lacking component to be mounted is present in a spare component feed area of the component feed part is determined, and supply of the component to be mounted from a designated component arrangement position of the component feed part is switched to supply of the spare component from the spare component feed area.
detecting an occurrence of a lack of a component at a designated component arrangement position of a component feed part, wherein the component and the designated component arrangement position are designated by a mounting program; using a first reading device to read component information from a memory feature in the component feed part; based on the component information read from the memory feature, determining whether a spare component is in a spare component feed area of the component feed part; judging whether the spare component is located in the spare component feed area at a spare component arrangement position; and when the spare component is judged to be located at the spare component arrangement position within the spare component feed area, switching from supply of the component from the designated component arrangement position to supply of the spare component from the spare component arrangement position. 2. The component feed method according to claim 1, wherein
judging whether the spare component is located within the spare component feed area comprises judging whether the spare component is located within a component feed area other than a component feed area designated by the mounting program. 3. The component feed method according to claim 1, wherein
determining, based on the component information read from the memory feature in the component feed part, whether the spare component is in the spare component feed area of the component feed pair comprises determining, based on spare component information previously stored and read from the memory feature in the component feed part, whether the spare component is in the spare component feed area of the component feed part. 4. The component feed method according to claim 1, further comprising:
using the first or another reading device to read previously stored spare component information from a memory feature in the component feed part; and based on the spare component information read from the memory feature, determining a component arrangement state of the spare component when judged to be in the spare component feed area. 5. A component feed method for supplying a component to be mounted onto a printed circuit board, comprising:
detecting an occurrence of a lack of a component at a designated component arrangement position of a component feed part, wherein the component and the designated component arrangement position are designated by a mounting program; determining whether a spare component is in a spare component feed area of the component feed part; and when the spare component is judged to be located in the spare component feed area, switching from supply of the component from the designated component arrangement position to supply of the spare component from the spare component feed area.
a component lack detection process of detecting a lack of a component to be mounted, which is designated by the mounting program, at a component arrangement position of the component feed part; a spare component detection judgment process of determining whether or not a spare component for a lacking component to be mounted is loaded in a spare component feed area of the component feed part, and judging whether or not the spare component is located within the spare component feed area; and a spare component switch process of switching supply of the component to be mounted from a designated component arrangement position of the component feed part to supply of the spare component from the spare component feed area, when the spare component is judged to be present in the spare component feed area during the spare component detection judgment process. According a second aspect of the present invention, there is provided a component feed method according to the first aspect, wherein the spare component feed area of the component feed part during the spare component detection judgment process is an area other than a component feed area at which component supply is designated in the mounting program designed for mounting a component to a printed board of an optional type. Accordingly, supply of the component, to be mounted, from the component feed area of the component feed part is switched during the spare component switch process to supply of the spare component from the spare component feed area when the spare component is judged to be present in the spare component feed area during the spare component detection judgment process.
a component lack detection device for detecting lack of a component to be mounted at the component arrangement position of the component feed part designated by the mounting program, a spare component detection judgment device for determining whether or not a spare component for a lacking component to be mounted is loaded in a spare component feed area of the component feed part, and judging whether or not the spare component is located within the spare component feed area, and a spare component switch device for switching supply of the component to be mounted from the designated component arrangement position of the component feed part to supply of the spare component from the spare component feed area when the spare component is judged to be present within the spare component feed area by the spare component detection judgment device. According to an eighth aspect of the present invention, there is provided a component feeding apparatus according to the seventh aspect, wherein the spare component feed area of the component feed part judged by the spare component detection judgment device is an area other than a component feed area at which component supply is designated in the mounting program designed for mounting the component to a printed board of an optional type, so that supply of the component to be mounted from the component feed area of the component feed part is switched by the spare component switch device to supply of the spare component from the spare component feed area when the spare component is judged to be present in the spare component feed area by the spare component detection judgment device.
During the component lack detection process step (S3) in FIG. 1, if the component feed control part 22 judges that a component of the same type as the component 5 to be mounted is absent from component data 20 b, or in other words, as shown in FIGS. 5A-5C, if, for example, a P1-type component arranged at component arrangement position Z1 on a left end of the component feed part 16, is absent, spare component detection judgment process (S10) and spare component switch process (S11), which characterize the component mounting method of the first embodiment (named �a free alternate� operation), are adopted, which will be detailed hereinbelow. Specifically, in the free alternate operation, there is a known device, as a component detecting device, for reading by a reading device a memory feature, such as a bar code or the like, installed in the component feed part, for storing types of components, as is disclosed in Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 4-164398, during the spare component detection judgment process (S10) of FIG. 1, thereby obtaining stored information to detect components. Referring to FIG. 3, for instance, component information detection part 18, which reads or writes component information from or to a component information memory 17, such as IC or the like arranged in the parts cassette 16 a as one example in the prior art, is adapted to set as a spare component feed area 16 s, component arrangement positions Zn, Zn+1, Zn+2, Zend, other than the component arrangement positions Z1-Zm of a component feed area 16 n generally used at the component feed part 16, in component arrangement data of the mounting program 20 a and component data 20 b. Component type information PX, P1, P1, . . . , PY at component arrangement positions of the spare component feed area 16 s are sequentially read out, whether or not the P1-type spare component for the component P1 to be mounted next is present is judged, and the parts cassette 16 a storing the P1-type spare component is detected within the spare component feed area 16 s of the component feed part 16. In a case where the spare component of the type is not detected, production is stopped at once at the component mounting apparatus 201 under control of the CPU 202 until an operator of the apparatus 201 supplements the P1-type components to the component feed part 16. On the other hand, when the P1-type spare component for the component P1 to be mounted next is detected at arrangement position Zn+1 of the spare component feed area 16 s, during the spare component switch process (S11) of FIG. 11 the CPU 202 temporarily stores in the memory part 20 the P1-type spare component, at the spare component arrangement position Zn+1 in the spare component feed area 16 s, as spare component information 20 c, in place of the P1-type component at arrangement position Z1. Thereafter, component arrangement positions of component arrangement data of the mounting program 20 a and the component data 20 b are switched to a spare component arrangement position in the spare component feed area 16 s for a lacking P1-type component, so that production is continued under a switched condition. Later again, if P1-type spare components at component arrangement position Zn+1 are depleted, the same procedures at (S10) and (S11) are executed, whereby a P1-type spare component at component arrangement position Zn+2 is used to continue production.
