Patent Description:
A storage cabinet described in Patent Literature <NUM> stores a mounting head and a feeder device. In addition, in an exchange supporting apparatus described in Patent Literature <NUM>, when a setup change is carried out to change the types of boards to be produced, the exchange supporting apparatus determines a mounting head and a feeder device which are to be mounted on a component mounter from mounting heads and feeder devices which are stored in the storage cabinet based on production job information and maintenance information. The exchange supporting apparatus searches for a feeder device which holds a reel accommodating a type of components needed for a production after the setup change. Further, a guide section of the exchange supporting apparatus informs an operator of a mounting head and a feeder device which are to be delivered from the storage cabinet.

In a nozzle managing machine of Patent Literature <NUM>, a setting control section sets a suction nozzle required by a component mounter on a nozzle tray based on information received from at least one of the component mounter and a management device.

<CIT> discloses a storage device that comprises an acquisition unit and a management unit. When a case that houses multiple housable items enters a storage facility, the acquisition unit uses a radio device provided at the entrance of the storage facility and effects radio communication with a first wireless tag attached to the case and a second wireless tag attached to each of the multiple housable items. The acquisition unit then acquires identification information retained in the first wireless tag for identifying the casing and discrimination information retained in the second wireless tag for discriminating among the multiple housable items. The management unit associates the identification information and the discrimination information acquired by the acquisition unit and manages the association therebetween.

It is therefore the object of the present invention to provide a storage cabinet to enhance management of elements to be supplied to a board machine.

This object is solved by the subject matter of independent claim <NUM>.

For production of board products using a board work machine, both a supply component such as an article or the like which is mounted on a board by the board work machine and a device which is detachably provided on the board work machine for use in board work are necessary. In addition, since a combination of supply component and device necessary for production of board products changes as the type of board products to be produced changes, a supply component and a device which match a type of board products to be produced become necessary. Further, when a supply component and a device are stored in such a state that the supply component is incorporated in the device as with the reel and the feeder device described above, combinations of a supply component and a device for delivery are limited.

In view of these situations, according to the present description, there is disclosed a storage cabinet which can store a supply component and a device separately and which can deliver a supply component and a device for use for a unit production which specifies a production of an identical type of board products in an associated fashion.

The present description discloses a storage cabinet including a first storage section, a second storage section, a delivery section, and a moving section. The first storage section stores a supply component which is at least one of an article which is provided on a board by a board work machine configured to perform predetermined board work on the board and the board before the article is provided thereon. The second storage section stores a device which is detachably provided on the board work machine for use in the board work. The delivery section delivers the supply component and the device in an associated fashion which are used for a predetermined unit production included in a production plan which prescribes an order of unit productions which each specify a production of an identical type of board products using the board work machine. The moving section moves the supply component stored in the first storage section to the delivery section and moves the device stored in the second storage section to the delivery section. The device and the supply component are accommodated together in an accommodation case.

With the configuration of the storage cabinet described above, the storage cabinet includes the first storage section, the second storage section, the delivery section, and the moving section. As a result, the storage cabinet can store the supply component in the first storage section and the device in the second storage section. In addition, with the storage cabinet described above, the moving section moves the supply component stored in the first storage section to the delivery section and moves the device stored in the second storage section to the delivery section, whereby the delivery section can deliver the supply component and the device in the associated fashion for use in the predetermined unit production.

As shown in <FIG>, storage cabinet <NUM> of an embodiment of the present description is provided in board production facility <NUM>. Board production facility <NUM> includes board working line <NUM>, arrival section <NUM>, conveyance vehicle <NUM>, and storage cabinet <NUM>.

In board working line <NUM>, predetermined board work is performed on board <NUM>. The type and number of board work machines <NUM> constituting board working line <NUM> are not limited. As shown in <FIG>, board working line <NUM> of the present embodiment includes multiple (five) board work machines <NUM> such as printer 10a, printing inspection machine 10b, component mounter 10c, reflow furnace 10d, and appearance inspection machine 10e, and board <NUM> is conveyed sequentially in this order by a board conveyance device.

Printer 10a prints solder in multiple component mounting positions on board <NUM>. Solder that is printed on board <NUM> has a predetermined viscosity, and the solder so printed functions as a bonding material for bonding board <NUM> and a component that is mounted on board <NUM> together. As shown in <FIG>, solder is accommodated in solder accommodation container 91c. For example, a bottomed cylindrical or tubular sealable container can be used as solder accommodation container 91c.

Printing inspection machine 10b inspects a print state of solder which is printed by printer 10a. Component mounter 10c mounts multiple components on board <NUM> on which solder is printed. Component mounter 10c may be provided one, or multiple component mounters 10c may be provided. In the case that multiple component mounters 10c are provided, those multiple component mounters 10c can share a mounting operation for mounting multiple components on board <NUM>.

Component mounter 10c includes a component supply device for supplying components which are mounted on board <NUM>. The component supply device can supply components using, for example, feeder 95b including reel 91a, tray 91b, and the like which are shown in <FIG>. A component tape (a carrier tape) which accommodates components thereon is wound around reel 91a. Reel 91a is rotatably and detachably provided in feeder 95b, and a distal end portion of the component tape is drawn out to a component take-out or pickup section provided in feeder 95b, whereby components are sequentially supplied. Reel 91a can supply, for example, a relatively small component such as a chip component.

Multiple components are arranged on tray 91b. Tray 91b can supply a relatively large component such as, for example, a Quad Flat Package (QFP), a Ball Grid Array (BGA), and the like. The component supply device can also supply, for example, components accommodated in parts accommodating container 91d. Multiple components are accommodated in parts accommodating container 91d without being arranged.

Further, mounting head 95a is detachably (in an exchangeable fashion) provided on component mounter 10c. At least one holding member 95c is provided detachably (in an exchangeable fashion) provided on mounting head 95a. For example, a suction nozzle, a chuck, or the like can be used as holding member 95c. Component mounter 10c picks up and holds a component supplied by the component supply device and mounts the component on board <NUM>, which is positioned, by use of mounting head 95a and holding member 95c.

Holding member 95c can be changed as required in accordance with the type of a component to be mounted in a mounting process of mounting a component on board <NUM>. For example, in the case that holding member 95c for use for a mounting process to be executed is not attached to mounting head 95a of component mounter 10c, holding member 95c accommodated in holding member accommodating device 95d can be attached to mounting head 95a. Holding member accommodating device 95d is capable of accommodating multiple holding members 95c in a detachable (exchangeable) fashion and is installed in a predetermined position inside component mounter 10c in a detachable (exchangeable) fashion.

Reflow furnace 10d heats board <NUM> on which multiple components are mounted by component mounter 10c to melt the solder printed thereon for soldering. Appearance inspection machine 10e inspects the mounting state or the like of the multiple components mounted on board <NUM> by component mounter 10c. In this way, in board working line <NUM>, board <NUM> is conveyed sequentially so that the production processes including the inspection process can be executed thereon for production of board product <NUM> by use of multiple (five) board work machines <NUM>. Board working line <NUM> can also include, as required, board work machines <NUM> such as, for example, a function inspection machine, a buffer device, a board supply device, a board flipping device, a shield mounting device, an adhesive application device, an ultraviolet ray irradiation device, and the like.

Multiple (five) board work machines <NUM> and management device <NUM>, which make up board working line <NUM>, are provided so as to be capable of communicating with each other by a wired or wireless communication section. Management device <NUM> controls multiple (five) board work machines <NUM>, which make up board working line <NUM>, to monitor operation situations of board working line <NUM>. Management device <NUM> stores various control data for controlling multiple (five) board work machines <NUM>. Management device <NUM> transmits the control data to each of multiple (five) board work machines <NUM>. On the other hand, each of multiple (five) board work machines <NUM> transmits an operation situation and a production situation to management device <NUM>.

In the present description, at least one of article <NUM> which is provided on board <NUM> by board work machine <NUM>, which is configured to perform predetermined board work on board <NUM>, and board <NUM> on which any article <NUM> has not yet been mounted will be referred to as supply component <NUM>. In addition, a thing which is detachably provided on board work machine <NUM> for use for board work will be referred to as device 9F.

As has been described above, board working line <NUM> includes printer 10a. In this case, for example, solder accommodated in solder accommodation container 91c corresponds to article <NUM>. In addition, for example, in the case of printer 10a configured to execute a printing process on board <NUM> by moving solder along a mask by a squeegee, the squeegee and the mask correspond to device 9F. Further, for example, in the case of a printer configured to apply solder on each of multiple printing positions on board <NUM> by a printing head, the printing head and a dispense head correspond to device 9F.

In addition, board working line <NUM> includes component mounter 10c. In this case, for example, a component accommodated in a component tape wound around reel 91a corresponds to article <NUM>. A component accommodated on tray 91b corresponds to article <NUM>. A component accommodated in parts accommodating container 91d corresponds to article <NUM>. Mounting head 95a which is detachably provided on component mounter 10c corresponds to device 9F. Feeder 95b which is detachably provided in component mounter 10c corresponds to device 9F. Holding member 95c which is detachably provided on component mounter 10c via mounting head 95a corresponds to device 9F. Holding member accommodating device 95d which is detachably provided in component mounter 10c corresponds to device 9F.

Further, board working line <NUM> includes printing inspection machine 10b. In addition, board working line <NUM> includes appearance inspection machine 10e. In these cases, for example, an inspection head for inspecting an inspection target object (solder or a component) corresponds to device 9F. Board <NUM> on which any article <NUM> has not yet been mounted is conveyed to printer 10a shown in <FIG>. That board <NUM> is included in supply component <NUM>.

When supply component <NUM> arrives at arrival section <NUM>, predetermined landing work is performed. Then, supply component <NUM> is accommodated in accommodation case <NUM>, and this accommodation case <NUM> is mounted on conveyance vehicle <NUM> and is conveyed to storage cabinet <NUM>. Once supply component <NUM> is stored in storage cabinet <NUM>, supply component <NUM> is then supplied to board working line <NUM> as required.

As shown in <FIG>, identification code <NUM> is provided on supply component <NUM>. Identification code <NUM> stores identification information for identifying supply component <NUM>. For example, a one-dimensional code, a two-dimensional code, a wireless tag, or the like can be used for identification code <NUM>. When supply component <NUM> arrives at arrival section <NUM>, an operator at arrival section <NUM> issues identification information using, for example, the management device. In addition, the operator reads a barcode or the like which is provided on supply component <NUM> by a supplier (a vendor) using a barcode reader or the like. Then, the operator can also obtain supply component information for supply component <NUM> from a database in which the supply information for supply component <NUM> is registered. The operator stores at least the identification information of the identification information and the supply component information in identification code <NUM> using the management device.

The operator at arrival section <NUM> attaches identification code <NUM> which stores at least the identification information therein to supply component <NUM> and accommodates that supply component <NUM> in accommodation case <NUM>. Accommodation case <NUM> need only accommodate at least one supply component <NUM> and hence can take various forms. Specific code <NUM> is provided on accommodation case <NUM>. Specific code <NUM> stores specific information for specifying accommodation case <NUM>. For example, a one-dimensional code, a two-dimensional code, a wireless tag, or the like can be used for specific code <NUM>.

When accommodating supply component <NUM> in accommodation case <NUM>, the operator reads specific code <NUM> using the reader and reads identification code <NUM> provided on that supply component <NUM> using the reader. As a result, a correspondence between the specific information which specifies accommodation case <NUM> accommodating supply component <NUM> and the identification information which identifies that supply component <NUM> is generated, and the correspondence so generated is transmitted to and stored in a storage section of management device <NUM>. What is described above on supply component <NUM> also applies to a case in which device 9F arrives at arrival section <NUM>.

<FIG> is a plan view showing an example of an accommodation state in which supply component <NUM> and device 9F are accommodated in accommodation case <NUM>. Specifically speaking, <FIG> shows an example of a state in which reel 91a around which a component tape accommodating a component corresponding to article <NUM> is wound is accommodated in accommodation case <NUM>. In addition, <FIG> shows an example of a state in which trays 91b each accommodating a component corresponding to article <NUM> are accommodated (loaded) in accommodation case <NUM>. Tray 91b is accommodated in a packaging bag, and identification code <NUM> is attached to the packaging bag of tray 91b. Further, <FIG> shows an example of a state in which solder accommodation containers 91c each accommodating solder corresponding to article <NUM> are accommodated in accommodation case <NUM>. In addition, <FIG> shows an example of a state in which substrate <NUM> on which any article <NUM> has not yet been provided is accommodated d in accommodation case <NUM>.

Further, <FIG> shows an example of a state in which mounting head 95a, feeder 95b, holding member 95c, and holding member accommodating device 95d, which each correspond to device 9F, are accommodated individually in corresponding accommodation cases <NUM>. Mounting head 95a and feeder 95b are individually accommodated in corresponding accommodation cases <NUM>. Holding member 95c can be accommodated in an accommodation space which accommodates detachably holding member 95c and can also be accommodated detachably in holding member accommodating device 95d.

Accommodation case <NUM> can also accommodate supply component <NUM> and device 9F together. For example, parts accommodating containers 91d, each accommodating a component corresponding to article <NUM>, and holding member accommodating device 95d and holding members 95c, each corresponding to device 9F, are accommodated together in accommodation case <NUM> shown in <FIG>. In either of the cases, a shock absorbing member is provided in accommodation case <NUM>, whereby vibration or the like which would be applied to supply components <NUM> and device 9F during conveyance or the like is reduced.

The operator at arrival section <NUM> mounts accommodation case <NUM> which accommodates therein at least one of supply component <NUM> and device 9F on conveyance vehicle <NUM>. For example, the operator can pull conveyance vehicle <NUM>. In addition, for example, a self-propelled unmanned conveyance vehicle (an automated guided vehicle (AGV) ), which does not have to be pulled by the operator, can also be used for conveyance vehicle <NUM>. In the present embodiment, conveyance vehicle <NUM> adopts an unmanned conveyance vehicle.

Board working line <NUM>, arrival section <NUM>, conveyance vehicle <NUM>, and storage cabinet <NUM> are provided so as to be capable of communicating with each other by a wired or wireless communication section. When accommodation case <NUM> which accommodates at least one of supply component <NUM> and device 9F is mounted on conveyance vehicle <NUM>, management device <NUM> transmits a conveyance command to conveyance vehicle <NUM>. The conveyance command includes a conveyance destination of that accommodation case <NUM>. Management device <NUM> selects storage cabinet <NUM> which can store that accommodation case <NUM> and determines a conveyance destination. When receiving the conveyance command, conveyance vehicle <NUM> conveys that accommodation case <NUM> to storage cabinet <NUM> which is designated as the conveyance destination.

Conveyance vehicle <NUM> can also convey at least one of supply component <NUM> and device 9F without using accommodation case <NUM>. In addition, the operator can convey at least one of supply component <NUM> and device 9F without using conveyance vehicle <NUM>. Further, at least a part of the work described as being performed by the operator can be automated using a conveyance device (for example, a belt conveyor), an actuator (for example, a robot arm and the like. ), the management device, or the like.

In this way, at least one of supply component <NUM> and device 9F that have arrived at arrival section <NUM> is conveyed to storage cabinet <NUM>. In addition, at least one of supply component <NUM> and device 9F which become unnecessary in board working line <NUM> is conveyed to storage cabinet <NUM>. Supply component <NUM> and device 9F which are conveyed to storage cabinet <NUM> are stored in storage cabinet <NUM> and are then conveyed to board working line <NUM> as required.

Storage cabinet <NUM> need only store supply component <NUM> and device 9F, and hence, storage cabinet <NUM> can take various forms. As shown in <FIG>, storage cabinet <NUM> of the present embodiment is formed in, for example, an octagonal prism shape. As shown in <FIG>, storage cabinet <NUM> includes first opening section 41a, second opening section 41b, storage section <NUM>, delivery section <NUM>, control device 40a, and moving device 40b. Storage section <NUM> includes first storage section 42a and second storage section 42b and can further include third storage section 42c. Delivery section <NUM> includes first delivery section 43a and second delivery section 43b. Delivery portion <NUM> can be formed into, for example, wheeled table <NUM> or rack <NUM>.

Further, as shown in <FIG>, when taken as a control block, control device 40a includes moving section <NUM>. Control device 40a can further include guide section <NUM>. In addition, storage cabinet <NUM> can include at least one of work space 40c, acquisition device 40d, display device 40e, and delivery space 40f. As shown in <FIG> and <FIG>, in the present embodiment, storage cabinet <NUM> includes all the parts and devices described above. Delivery section <NUM> is formed into rack <NUM>.

As shown in <FIG>, first opening section 41a is provided in a front surface of storage cabinet <NUM>, and second section 41b is provided in a side surface of storage cabinet <NUM>. Supply component <NUM> and device 9F are received in and delivered out from first opening section 41a. First opening section 41a is formed larger than supply component <NUM> and device 9F so that supply component <NUM> and device 9F can be received in and delivered out from first opening section 41a.

At least one of supply component <NUM> and device 9F can be received in and delivered out via first opening section 41a while being accommodated in accommodation case <NUM>. In this case, first opening section 41a is formed larger than accommodation case <NUM> so that accommodation case <NUM> can be received in and delivered out from first opening section 41a. Supply component <NUM> and device 9F are delivered out from second opening section 41b. What is described above about first opening section 41a will be true with second opening section 41b.

In addition, acquisition device 40d is provided in first opening section 41a. Acquisition device 40d reads identification code <NUM> provided on supply component <NUM> and acquires the identification information for identifying supply component <NUM>. Similarly, acquisition device 40d reads identification code <NUM> provided on device 9F and acquires the identification information for identifying device 9F. A known reader (for example, a code reader for reading a one-dimensional code and a two-dimensional code, a wireless reader for performing wireless communication with a wireless tag, or the like) can be used for acquisition device 40d.

As shown in <FIG>, acquisition device 40d is set above work space 40c provided in the vicinity of first opening section 41a. Acquisition device 40d reads identification code <NUM> provided on supply component <NUM> to acquire at least the identification information of the identification information and the supply component information when supply component <NUM> is received in via first opening section 41a. Similarly, acquisition device 40d reads identification code <NUM> provided on device 9F to acquire at least the identification information of the identification information and the device information on device 9F when device 9F is received in via first opening section 41a.

Acquisition device 40d can read specific code <NUM> provided on accommodation case <NUM> to acquire the specific information when accommodation case <NUM> is received in via first opening section 41a. In this case, acquisition device 40d can acquire the identification information of at least one of supply component <NUM> and device 9F which is accommodated in accommodation case <NUM> based on the correspondence between the specific information and the identification information.

As a result, with storage cabinet <NUM> of the present embodiment, acquisition device 40d is provided only in first opening section 41a. In addition, first opening section 41a functions both as the receiving section and the delivery section through which supply component <NUM> and device 9F can be received in or delivered out, while second opening section 41b functions exclusively as the delivery section through supply component <NUM> and device 9F can be delivered out.

Storage section <NUM> need only store both supply component <NUM> and device 9F and hence can take various forms. As shown in <FIG>, storage section <NUM> of the present embodiment is disposed in a circular shape when viewed in a vertical direction (a Z-axis direction). As shown in <FIG>, storage section <NUM> includes first storage sections 42a each configured to store supply component <NUM> and second storage sections 42b each configured to store device 9F.

The numbers and arrangements of first storage sections 42a and second storage sections 42b are changed as required. For example, at least one storage section <NUM> of multiple storage sections <NUM> can include only first storage section 42a, while at least one storage section <NUM> of the other storage sections <NUM> of multiple storage sections <NUM> can include only second storage section 42b. As shown in <FIG>, in storage cabinet <NUM> of the present embodiment, a part of first storage sections 42a or second storage sections 42b is eliminated so as to secure work space 40c and delivery space 40f.

Further, the shape and size (width, depth, and height) of first storage section 42a can be set so as to match supply component <NUM> to be stored therein, and the shape and size (width, depth, and height) of second storage section 42b can be set so as to match device 9F to be stored therein. In addition, storage section <NUM> can also store accommodation case <NUM> which accommodates at least one of supply component <NUM> and device 9F therein.

In this case, the shapes and sizes (width, depth, and height) of first storage section 42a and second storage section 42b can be set so as to match accommodation case <NUM>. On the contrary, the shape and size (width, depth, and height) of accommodation case <NUM> can be set so as to match the shapes and sizes of first storage section 42a and second storage section 42b.

As shown in <FIG>, storage section <NUM> can also include third storage sections 42c which each store both supply component <NUM> and device 9F. Accommodation case <NUM> which accommodates both supply component <NUM> and device 9F (in which device 9F and supply component <NUM> are accommodated together) is stored in third storage section 42c. In addition, supply component <NUM>, device 9F, and accommodation case <NUM> can also be stored in suitable storage sections <NUM>. In this case, storage section <NUM> where supply component <NUM> is stored is first storage section 42a. Storage section <NUM> where device 9F is stored is second storage section 42b. Storage section <NUM> where both supply component <NUM> and device 9F are stored is third storage section 42c. In the case that board production facility <NUM> includes multiple storage cabinets <NUM>, supply component <NUM>, device 9F, and accommodation case <NUM> may be stored in any storage cabinets <NUM>, as long as those storage cabinets <NUM> include suitable storage sections <NUM>.

A production plan prescribes an order of unit productions UJO which each specify a production of an identical type of board products <NUM> using board work machines <NUM>. For example, the production plan prescribes a production of multiple types (for example, three types) of board products <NUM> as in a production order of a production of a first type of board products <NUM>, a production of a second type of board products <NUM>, a production of a third type of board products <NUM>, and the like. In addition, the production plan can also include a production number of board product <NUM> to be produced, a production period, a delivery time, supply component <NUM> and device 9F which are to be used, and the like. Further, in the case that there exist multiple board working lines <NUM> which can be used for production, the production plan can also include board working line or lines <NUM> for use for production. The production plan may be a production plan for one type of board products <NUM>.

Delivery section <NUM> delivers out supply component <NUM> and device 9F in associated fashion which are to be used for a predetermined unit production UJ0 included in the production plan. In the present embodiment, delivery section <NUM> includes first delivery section 43a and second delivery section 43b. Supply component <NUM> for use for unit production UJ0 is delivered to first delivery section 43a. Device 9F for use for unit production UJ0 which uses supply component <NUM> delivered out from first storage section 43a is delivered to second delivery section 43b.

First delivery section 43a and second delivery section 43b can be formed into, for example, wheeled table <NUM> or rack <NUM> which can hold supply component <NUM> and device 9F. Wheeled table <NUM> or rack <NUM> need only hold supply component <NUM> and device 9F, and hence, wheeled table <NUM> and rack <NUM> can take various forms. As shown in <FIG>, in the present embodiment, first delivery section 43a and second delivery section 43b are formed into rack <NUM> which includes multiple storage spaces.

For example, first storage section 43a is formed in an upper space of rack <NUM>, while second delivery section 43b is formed in a lower space of rack <NUM>. A door portion is provided in second opening section 41b shown in <FIG>. The upper space and the lower space of rack <NUM> can communicate with delivery space 40f via second opening section 41b. Specifically speaking, the door portion is caused to be in an open state by control device 40a when supply component <NUM> and device 9F are delivered out. Then, supply component <NUM> and device 9F which are used for identical unit production UJ0 are delivered out in an associated fashion by way of second opening section 41b. When supply component <NUM> and device 9F are so delivered out, the door portion is caused to be in a closed state by control device 40a.

Control device 40a includes a known arithmetic unit and a storage device, as well as a control circuit which is configured therein. Control device 40a is provided so as to be capable of communicating with moving device 40b, acquisition device 40d, and display device 40e and can control these devices. In addition, control device 40a can also cause a door portion provided in first opening section 41a and the door portion provided in second opening section 41b to be opened and closed. Further, control device 40a can store supply information on supply component <NUM> and can also notify management device <NUM> of the supply component information.

For example, in the case that supply component <NUM> is reel 91a, the supply information can include a type of a component accommodated in reel 91a, the number of components (the number of remaining components), a reel diameter, a reel model type, and a reel supplier (vendor), an expiration date, and the like. Similarly, control device 40a can store device information on device 9F and can also notify management device <NUM> of the device information. For example, in the case that device 9F is mounting head 95a, the device information can include the number of times of use of mounting head 95a, the duration of use of mounting head 95a, component mounter 10c which uses mounting head 95a, the maintenance time of mounting head 95a, and the like.

When supply component <NUM> is received in storage cabinet <NUM> via first opening section 41a, moving device 40b moves supply component <NUM> so received to predetermined first storage section 42a, and when supply component <NUM> is delivered out, moving device 40b moves supply component <NUM> stored in first storage section 42a to delivery space 40f. Similarly, when device 9F is received in storage cabinet <NUM> via firs opening section 41a, moving device 40b moves device 9F so received to predetermined second storage section 42b, and when device 9F is delivered out, moving device 40b moves device 9F stored in second storage section 42b to delivery space 40f.

The same applies when accommodation case <NUM> which accommodates at least one of supply component <NUM> and device 9F is received in storage cabinet <NUM> by way of first opening section 41a. That is, when accommodation case <NUM> is received in by way of first opening section 41a, moving device 40b moves accommodation case <NUM> so received to predetermined first storage section 42a, second storage section 42b or third storage section 42c. In addition, when accommodation case <NUM> is delivered out, moving device 40b moves accommodation case <NUM> stored in first storage section 42a, second storage section 42b or third storage section 42c to delivery space 40f.

As shown in <FIG>, moving device 40b of the present embodiment is provided radially inwards of storage section <NUM> as viewed in the vertical direction (the Z-axis direction). Moving device 40b need only be able to move a target object (supply component <NUM> and device 9F or accommodation case <NUM>) and hence can take various forms. For example, a robot arm (an articulated robot), a lifting and lowering slide mechanism, and the like can be used for moving device 40b.

Moving device 40b can include, for example, a raising/lowering section 40b1 and gripping section 40b2. Raising/lowering section 40b1 can rotate around an axis extending along the vertical direction (the Z-axis direction) and can raise or lower gripping section 40b2 along the vertical direction (the Z-axis direction). Gripping section 40b2 can advance or retreat and can hold or release a hold of a target object. As a result, moving device 40b can store a target object that is received in by way of first opening section 41a in storage section <NUM> and can move the target object to delivery space 40f. In addition, moving device 40b can also move the target object moved to delivery space 40f to delivery section <NUM>. Further, moving device 40b can include a conveyance device (that is, a belt conveyor or the like) in delivery space 40f. In this case, the conveyance device can move the target object moved to delivery space 40f to delivery section <NUM>.

When delivering supply component <NUM>, moving device 40b can also move supply component <NUM> stored in first storage section 42a to work space 40c provided in first opening section 41a. Similarly, when delivering device 9F, moving device 40b can move device 9F stored in second storage section 42b to work space 40c provided in first opening section 41a. In addition, when delivering both supply component <NUM> and device 9F, moving device 40b can move supply component <NUM> and device 9F which are stored in third storage section 42c to work space 40c provided in first opening section 41a. What is described above applies to a case in which at least one of supply component <NUM> and device 9F is accommodated in accommodation case <NUM>.

With storage cabinet <NUM> of the present embodiment, at least one of supply component <NUM> and device 9F is stored while being accommodated in accommodation case <NUM> and is delivered out while being accommodated in accommodation case <NUM>. As a result, at least one of supply component <NUM> and device 9F which is accommodated in accommodation case <NUM> can easily be moved, and hence, irrespective of types of supply component <NUM> and device 9F, gripping section 40b2 of moving device 40b can easily be shared with. In addition, at least one of supply component <NUM> and device 9F can easily be managed to thereby reduce a risk of being lost or the like by storing and delivering at least one of supply component <NUM> and device 9F while being accommodated in accommodation case <NUM>.

As has been described above, accommodation case <NUM> can accommodate various types of supply components <NUM> and can accommodate various types of devices 9F. In addition, accommodation case <NUM> accommodates both supply component <NUM> and device 9F (can accommodate device 9F and supply component <NUM> together). For example, let's assume a case in which board work machine <NUM> is component mount 10c for mounting a component, which is supply component <NUM>, on board <NUM>, which is supply component <NUM>. In this case, for example, since there exists a case in which the use of holding member 95c for holding a component is limited depending on a type of component, there may be a case in which a component and holding member 95c for holding the component are preferably managed together. In this case, holding member 95c, which is device 9F for picking up to hold a component and mounting the component on board <NUM>, and a component which can be held by holding member 95c need only be accommodated together in accommodation case <NUM>. In this way, device 9F and supply component <NUM> need only be accommodated together in accommodation case <NUM> as the degree at which supply component <NUM> and device 9F are related to each other (the degree of association) becomes higher.

As shown in <FIG>, storage cabinet <NUM> includes display device 40e. A know display device can be used for display device 40e, and this display device 40e displays various types of data in such a way that the operator can visually recognize them. Display device 40e displays, for example, supply component information on supply component <NUM> stored in first storage section 42a, device information on device 9F stored in second storage section 42b, and the like in response to an operation by the operator.

In addition, control device 40a can store positional information, receiving and delivery information and storage information on supply component <NUM> and device 9F in storage section <NUM>, and display device 40e can also display these pieces of information. The positional information indicates storage locations of supply component <NUM> and device 9F. The receiving and delivery information indicates receiving date and time and delivery date and time of each of supply component <NUM> and device 9F. The storage information includes, for example, information on the ambient temperature in storage section <NUM>, the humidity in storage section <NUM>, and the like. Control device 40a stores positional information and receiving date and time of each of supply component <NUM> and device 9F when that supply component <NUM> and that device 9F are received to be stored. Control device 40a stores storage information on supply component <NUM> and device 9F while that supply component <NUM> and that device 9F are being stored. Control device 40a stores delivery date and time of each of supply component <NUM> and device 9F when that supply component <NUM> and that device 9F are delivered out.

Display device 40e of the present embodiment is made up of a touch panel, and display device 40e also functions as an input device for receiving various types of operations by the operator. For example, the operator can also specify supply component <NUM> and device 9F which are desired to be delivered out from storage cabinet <NUM> by use of the touch panel (display device 40e functioning as the input device). In this case, storage cabinet <NUM> delivers out supply component <NUM> and device 9F which are so specified.

<NUM>-<NUM>-<NUM>. Control Example of Supply Component <NUM> and Device 9F for Receiving and Delivery.

As shown in <FIG>, when taken as control blocks, control device 40a includes moving section <NUM> and guide section <NUM>. Control device 40a executes control programs in accordance with flowcharts shown in <FIG>.

<FIG> shows an example of a control procedure for a receiving operation of supply component <NUM> and device 9F. Control device 40a acquires identification information of supply component <NUM> using acquisition device 40d when supply component <NUM> is received in via first opening section 41a (Step S11). Similarly, control device 40a can also acquire identification information of device 9F using acquisition device 40d when device 9F is received in via first opening section 41a.

In addition, control device 40a can also acquire specific information of accommodation case <NUM> using acquisition device 40d when accommodation case <NUM> is received in via first opening section 41a. In this case, control device 40a acquires the identification information of at least one of supply component <NUM> and device 9F which is accommodated in accommodation case <NUM> based on the correspondence between the specific information and the identification information. In any of the cases, control device 40a causes the storage device to store the acquired identification information.

Next, moving section <NUM> causes moving device 40b to move supply component <NUM> to predetermined first storage section 42a for storage therein (Step S12). Similarly, moving section <NUM> can also cause moving device 40b to move device 9F to predetermined second storage section 42b for storage therein. In addition, moving section <NUM> can also cause moving device 40b to move supply component <NUM> and device 9F to predetermined third storage section 42c for storage therein. Further, moving section <NUM> can also cause moving device 40b to move accommodation case <NUM> to predetermined storage section <NUM> for storage therein. In any of the cases, control device 40a causes the storage device to store the positional information and the receiving dates and times of supply component <NUM> and device 9F.

Next, control device 40a determines whether all supply components <NUM> and devices 9F that are scheduled to be received in storage cabinet <NUM> have been so received (step S13). If all supply components <NUM> and devices 9F that are scheduled to be received in storage cabinet <NUM> have been so received (if Yes in Step S13), control device 40a ends temporarily the control for the receiving operation. If all supply components <NUM> and devices 9F that are scheduled to be received in storage cabinet <NUM> have not yet been so received (if NO in Step S13), control device 40a returns to the operation in Step S <NUM> for the receiving operation. Then, control device 40a repeats the operations shown in Steps S11 to S13 until all supply components <NUM> and devices 9F that are scheduled to be received in storage cabinet <NUM> have been so received.

<FIG> shows an example of a control procedure for a delivery operation of supply component <NUM> and device 9F. The production plan is managed by, for example, management device <NUM>, and management device <NUM> transmits a delivery command of delivering supply component <NUM> and device 9F which are to be used for identical unit production UJ0 to storage cabinet <NUM> based on the production plan. When receiving the delivery command, storage cabinet <NUM> associates supply component <NUM> and device 9F with each other for use for specified identical unit production UJ0 and then delivers that supply component <NUM> and that device 9F which are so associated with each other.

Specifically speaking, moving section <NUM> moves supply component <NUM> stored in first storage section <NUM> to delivery section <NUM> and moves device 9F stored in second storage section 42b to delivery section <NUM>. In addition, moving section <NUM> can also move supply component <NUM> stored in first storage section 42a to first delivery section 43a and move device 9F stored in second storage section 42b to second delivery section 43b. In the present embodiment, moving section <NUM> causes moving device 40b to move supply component <NUM> stored in first storage section 42a to delivery space 40f and then to move that supply component <NUM> moved to delivery space 40f to first delivery section 43a.

In addition, moving section <NUM> causes moving device 40b to move device 9F stored in second storage section 42b to delivery space 40f and then to move that device 9F moved to delivery space 40f to second delivery section 43b (step S21). Moving section <NUM> can also cause moving device 40b to move accommodation case <NUM> stored in storage section <NUM> to delivery space 40f and then to move that accommodation case <NUM> moved to delivery space 40f to delivery section <NUM>. In any of the cases, control device 40a causes the storage device to store the delivery dates and times of supply component <NUM> and device 9F.

Next, control device 40a determines whether all supply components <NUM> and devices 9F that are scheduled to be delivered out from storage cabinet <NUM> have been so delivered out (Step S22). If control device 40a determines that all supply components <NUM> and devices 9F that are scheduled to be delivered out from storage cabinet <NUM> have been so delivered out (Yes in Step S22), control device 40a ends temporarily the control for delivery operation. If control device 40a determines that all supply components <NUM> and devices 9F that are scheduled to be delivered out from storage cabinet <NUM> have not yet been so delivered out (No in Step S22), control device 40a returns to the operation in Step S21. Then, control device 40a repeats the operations shown in Steps S21 and S22 until all supply components <NUM> and devices 9F that are scheduled to be delivered out from storage cabinet <NUM> have been so delivered out.

Here, one unit production UJ0 in which board products <NUM> are produced by board work machine <NUM> is referred to as first unit production UJ1. In addition, as shown in <FIG>, at least one unit production UJ0 which is carried out after first unit production UJ1 on is referred to as second unit production UJ2. In first unit production UJ1, since board products <NUM> are produced by board work machine <NUM>, device 9F has already been mounted in board work machine <NUM>. Therefore, there are fewer delivery requests for device 9F in first unit production UJ1 than in second unit production UJ2.

Then, as a mode in which delivery section <NUM> delivers out supply component <NUM> and device 9F in an associated fashion, a case is assumed in which supply component <NUM> and device 9F are delivered out for use for second unit production UJ2. In this case, moving section <NUM> can move supply component <NUM> and device 9F which are used for second unit production UJ2. Specifically speaking, moving section <NUM> causes moving device 40b to move supply component <NUM> and device 9F which are used for second production UJ2 based on a delivery command received from management device <NUM>.

Storage cabinet <NUM> of the present embodiment includes guide section <NUM>. Guide section <NUM> notifies the operator of first delivery section 43a from which supply component <NUM> for use for second unit production UJ2 is delivered out and second delivery section 43b from which device 9F for use for second unit production UJ2 is delivered out. As a result, the operator can easily recognize supply component <NUM> and device 9F which are used for second unit production UJ2.

Guide section <NUM> need only notify the operator of first delivery section 43a and second delivery section 43b, and hence, guide section <NUM> can take various forms. For example, guide section <NUM> can display the positions of those first delivery section 43a and second delivery section 43b which are formed into rack <NUM> by use of display device 40e shown in <FIG>. In addition, as shown in <FIG>, guide section <NUM> can also display the positions of those first delivery section 43a and second delivery section 43b which are formed into rack <NUM> by use of a display device which is provided on rack <NUM>.

Specifically speaking, guide section <NUM> displays an indicator in the vicinity of the upper space of rack <NUM> indicating that the upper space is a delivery location for supply component <NUM>, whereby guide section <NUM> notifies that that first delivery section 43a is formed in the upper space of rack <NUM>. Similarly, guide section <NUM> displays an indicator in the vicinity of the lower space of rack <NUM> indicating that the lower space is a delivery location for device 9F, whereby guide section <NUM> notifies that that second delivery section 43b is formed in the lower space of rack <NUM>.

In first unit production UJ1, since board products <NUM> are produced by board work machine <NUM>, there is a possibility of, for example, occurrence of a shortage of components accommodated in reel 91a (a shortage of supply components <NUM>). In the case that a shortage of supply components <NUM> occurs, or in the case that there is a possibility of a shortage of supply components <NUM>, management device <NUM> transmits a delivery command of delivering supply components <NUM> required to storage cabinet <NUM>. Upon receipt of the delivery command, storage cabinet <NUM> delivers out supply components <NUM> so required.

In this case, moving section <NUM> causes moving device 40b to move supply component <NUM> which is used for first unit production UJ1 to first delivery section 43a. Specifically speaking, moving section <NUM> causes moving device 40b to move supply component <NUM> which is used for first unit production UJ1 to first delivery section 43a based on a delivery command received from management device <NUM>. In this case, guide section <NUM> need only notify of first delivery section 43a from which supply component <NUM> which is used for first unit production UJ1 is delivered out and first delivery section 43a from which supply component <NUM> which is used for second unit production UJ2 is delivered out in a distinguishable fashion.

Specifically speaking, guide section <NUM> can notify through display that a part of the upper space of rack <NUM> shown in <FIG> is allocated for the current production to thereby notify the operator that supply component S9 which is used for first unit production UJ1 is delivered to the space so allocated. In addition, guide section <NUM> can notify through display that the remainder of the upper space of rack <NUM> shown in <FIG> is allocated for a subsequent production to thereby notify the operator that supply component <NUM> which is used for second unit production UJ2 is delivered to the space so allocated. As a result, the operator can identify to distinguish first delivery section 43a from which supply component <NUM> which is used for first unit production UJ1 is delivered out from first delivery section 43a from which supply component <NUM> which is used for second unit production UJ2 is delivered out.

As has been described above, although there are fewer delivery requests for device 9F in first unit production UJ1 than in second unit production UJ2, there is also a possibility of occurrence of a necessity of new device 9F in first unit production UJ1 due to, for example, a failure of device 9F currently in use. Therefore, as in the case with supply component <NUM>, moving section <NUM> can also causes moving device 40b to move device 9F which is used for first unit production UJ1 to second delivery section 43b. In this case, guide section <NUM> need only notify the operator of second delivery section 43b from which device 9F which is used for first unit production UJ1 is delivered out and second delivery section 43b from which device 9F which is used for second unit production UJ2 is delivered out in a distinguishable fashion.

Specifically speaking, guide section <NUM> can notify through display that a portion of the lower space of rack <NUM> shown in <FIG> is allocated for the current production to thereby notify the operator that device 9F which is used for first unit production UJ1 is delivered to the space so allocated. In addition, guide section <NUM> can notify through display that the remainder of the lower space of rack <NUM> shown in <FIG> is allocated for a subsequent production to thereby notify the operator that device 9F which is used for second unit production UJ2 is delivered to the space so allocated. As a result, the operator can identify to distinguish second delivery section 43b from which device 9F which is used for first unit production UJ1 is delivered out from second delivery section 43b from which device 9F which is used for second unit production UJ2 is delivered out.

In addition, partition plate <NUM> can be provided in rack <NUM>. Partition plate <NUM> provided in first delivery section 43a shown in <FIG> divides first delivery section 43a into first delivery section 43a from which supply component <NUM> which is used for first unit production UJ1 is delivered out and first delivery section 43a from which supply component <NUM> which is used for second unit production UJ2 is delivered out. In addition, partition plate <NUM> provided in second delivery section 43b divides second delivery section 43b into second delivery section 43b from which device 9F which is used for first unit production UJ1 is delivered out and second delivery section 43b from which device 9F which is used for second unit production UJ2 is delivered out. What is described about guide section <NUM> similarly applies wheeled table <NUM> shown in <FIG> and also similarly applies to forms shown in <FIG>.

There may be a case in which the operator has difficulty in distinguishing supply component <NUM> which is used for last unit production UJ0 from supply component <NUM> which is used for unit production UJ0 which is carried out after the last unit production UJ0 on. Then, guide section <NUM> need only notify the operator of first delivery section 43a from which supply component <NUM> which is used for unit production UJ0 occurring subsequent to first unit production UJ1 is delivered out and first delivery section 43a from which supply component <NUM> which is used for unit production UJ0 occurring subsequent to unit production UJ0 occurring subsequent to first unit production UJ1 is delivered out in a distinguishable fashion.

Specifically speaking, guide section <NUM> notifies through display that the remainder of the upper space of rack <NUM> shown in <FIG> is allocated for a subsequent production and a production after the subsequent production on instead of notifying that the remainder of the upper space of rack <NUM> is allocated for the subsequent production. As a result, the operator can identify to distinguish first delivery section 43a from which supply component <NUM> which is used for unit production UJ0 subsequent to first unit production UJ1 is delivered out from first delivery section 43a from which supply component <NUM> which is used for unit production UJ0 occurring subsequent to unit production UJ0 occurring subsequent to first unit production UJ1 is delivered out. Partition plate <NUM> can also be provided in each of these first delivery sections 43a.

What is described on supply component <NUM> similarly applies to device 9F. Then, guide section <NUM> need only notify the operator of second delivery section 43b from which device 9F which is used for unit production UJ0 occurring subsequent to first unit production UJ1 is delivered out and second delivery section 43b from which device 9F which is used for unit production UJ0 occurring subsequent to unit production UJ0 occurring subsequent to first unit production UJ1 is delivered out in a distinguishable fashion.

Specifically speaking, guide section <NUM> notifies through display that the remainder of the lower space of rack <NUM> shown in <FIG> is allocated for a subsequent production and a production after the subsequent production on instead of notifying that the remainder of the lower space of rack <NUM> is allocated for the subsequent production. As a result, the operator can identify to distinguish second delivery section 43b from which device 9F which is used for unit production UJ0 subsequent to first unit production UJ1 is delivered out from second delivery section 43b from which device 9F which is used for unit production UJ0 occurring subsequent to unit production UJ0 occurring subsequent to first unit production UJ1 is delivered out. Partition plate <NUM> can also be provided in each of these second delivery sections 43b.

In addition, there may be a case in which the operator wants to identify to distinguish supply component <NUM> which is used for a predetermined production time slot (for example, a morning production for board products <NUM>) from supply component <NUM> which is used for a production time slot (for example, an afternoon production for board products <NUM>) occurring after the predetermined production time slot. Then, guide section <NUM> need only notify of first delivery section 43a from which supply component <NUM> which is used for first production time slot TM1 is delivered out and first delivery section 43a from which supply component <NUM> which is used for second production time slot TM2 is delivered out in a distinguishable fashion. In first production time slot TM1, at least one unit production UJ0 of second unit production UJ2 is performed. As shown in <FIG>, second production time slot TM2 occurs later than first production time slot TM1, and in second production time slot TM2, at least one unit production UJ0 of the other unit productions UJ0 of second unit production UJ2 is performed.

In this mode, guide section <NUM> notifies that the remainder of the upper space of rack <NUM> shown in <FIG> is allocated for a production in first production time slot TM1 and a production in second production time slot TM2 instead of notifying that the remainder of the upper space of rack <NUM> is allocated for a subsequent production. As a result, the operator can identify to distinguish first delivery section 43a from which supply component <NUM> which is used for first production time slot TM1 is delivered out from first delivery section 43a from which supply component <NUM> which is used for second production time slot TM2 is delivered out. Partition plate <NUM> can also be provided in each of these first delivery sections 43a.

What is described on supply component <NUM> similarly applies to device 9F. Then, guide section <NUM> need only notify of second delivery section 43b from which device 9F which is used for first production time slot TM1 is delivered out and second delivery section 43b from which device 9F which is used for second production time slot TM2 is delivered out in a distinguishable fashion.

In this mode, guide section <NUM> notifies that the remainder of the lower space of rack <NUM> shown in <FIG> is allocated for a production in first production time slot TM1 and a production in second production time slot TM2 instead of notifying that the remainder of the lower space of rack <NUM> is allocated for a subsequent production. As a result, the operator can identify to distinguish second delivery section 43b from which device 9F which is used for first production time slot TM1 is delivered out from second delivery section 43b from which device 9F which is used for second production time slot TM2 is delivered out. Partition plate <NUM> can also be provided in each of these second delivery sections 43b.

In the present embodiment, first delivery section 43a and second delivery section 43b are formed into rack <NUM> which can hold supply component <NUM> and device 9F. For example, first delivery section 43a and second delivery section 43b can be formed into wheeled table <NUM> which can hold supply component <NUM> and device 9F. As shown in <FIG>, wheeled table <NUM> includes a similar configuration to that of rack <NUM> described above. In addition, wheeled table <NUM> can adopt, for example, a conveyance vehicle similar to conveyance vehicle <NUM>, which may be an unmanned conveyance vehicle or may be pulled by the operator.

First delivery section 43a and second delivery section 43b can also be formed into multiple wheeled tables <NUM> or multiple racks <NUM>. In addition, in one wheeled table <NUM> or one rack <NUM>, multiple first delivery sections 43a may be formed, or multiple second delivery sections 43b may be formed, respectively. In either of the cases, first delivery section 43a needs to be identified, and second delivery section 43b needs to be identified. Then,first identification section 48a for identifying first delivery section 43a and second identification section 48b for identifying second delivery section 43b need only be provided on wheeled table <NUM> or rack <NUM>.

First identification section 48a need only identify first delivery section 43a and hence can take various forms. Similarly, second identification section 48b need only identify second delivery section 43b and hence can take various forms. First identification section 48a and second identification section 48b can each adopt, for example, a one-dimensional code, a two-dimensional code, a wireless tag, or the like. First identification section 48a and second identification section 48b may be a form of notification by guide section <NUM>.

In addition, as shown in <FIG>, first delivery section 43a may be formed into first wheeled table 46a which can hold supply component <NUM>, and second delivery section 43b may be formed into second wheeled table 46b which can hold device 9F. In this case, first identification section 48a for identifying first delivery section 43a need only be provided on first wheeled table 46a, and second identification section 48b for identifying second delivery section 43b need only be provided on second wheeled table 46b.

Further, as shown in <FIG>, first delivery section 43a may be formed into first rack 47a which can hold supply component <NUM>, and second delivery section 43b may be formed into second rack 47b which can hold device 9F. In this case, first identification section 48a for identifying first delivery section 43a need only be provided on first rack 47a, and second identification section 48b for identifying second delivery section 43b need only be provided on second rack 47b. In either of the cases, storage cabinet <NUM> and the operator can identify first delivery section 43a and can identify second delivery section 43b.

With storage cabinet <NUM> of the embodiment, supply component <NUM> and device 9F are delivered out while being associated with each other by way of second opening section 41b. However, with storage cabinet <NUM>, supply component <NUM> and device 9F can also be delivered out while being associated with each other by way of first opening section 41a. For example, moving section <NUM> can cause moving device 40b to deliver out accommodation case <NUM> which accommodates supply component <NUM> and device 9F by way of first opening section 41a. In addition, a conveyance device can also be provided outside storage cabinet <NUM>. In this case, the conveyance device conveys supply component <NUM> delivered out by way of first opening section 41a to delivery section <NUM>. The conveyance device conveys device 9F delivered out by way of first opening section 41a to delivery section <NUM>. In addition, the conveyance device can convey supply component <NUM> delivered out by way of first opening section 41a to first delivery section 43a. The conveyance device can convey device 9F delivered out by way of first opening section 41a to second delivery section 43b. In addition, the conveyance device can convey accommodation case <NUM>, accommodating at least one of supply component <NUM> and device 9F, which is delivered out by way of first opening section 41a to delivery section <NUM>.

In addition, delivery section <NUM> is not limited to the form in which the exclusive delivery sections are defined as with first delivery section 43a and second delivery section 43b. Delivery section <NUM> may take, for example, a form in which a location corresponding to first delivery section 43a and a location corresponding to second delivery section 43b are mixed together. In this case, storage cabinet <NUM> may adopt a configuration in which delivery section <NUM> is divided for each identical unit production UJ0 and supply component <NUM> and device 9F which are used for identical unit production UJ0 are delivered individually to the divided sections. In addition, delivery section <NUM> may be configured so that only supply component <NUM> and device 9F which are used for one unit production UJ0 are delivered out, while supply component <NUM> and device 9F which are used for another unit production UJ0 are not delivered out at the same time.

With storage cabinet <NUM>, storage cabinet <NUM> includes first storage section 42a, second storage section 42b, delivery section <NUM>, and moving section <NUM>. As a result, with storage cabinet <NUM>, supply component <NUM> can be stored in first storage section <NUM>, and device 9F can be stored in second storage section 42b. In addition, with storage cabinet <NUM>, moving section <NUM> causes supply component <NUM> stored in first storage section 42a to be delivered to delivery section <NUM> and causes device 9F stored in second storage section 42b to be delivered to delivery section <NUM>, and delivery section <NUM> can deliver out supply component <NUM> and device 9F which are used for predetermined unit projection UJ0 therefrom in an associated fashion.
