Abstract:
An object is to provide a nozzle management device and a control method of a nozzle management device capable of shortening a time required for an exchange operation of suction nozzles. In an exchange operation, a control device of the nozzle management device transfers some of multiple suction nozzles serving as storage targets to an empty first socket, and thereafter, controls an operation of a nozzle transfer device so as to alternately and repeatedly perform a loading operation for transferring the suction nozzle designated corresponding to a socket of the nozzle station which is emptied out by the transferred suction nozzle, from the pallet, and an unloading operation for transferring the suction nozzles serving as the storage targets from the nozzle station to the socket which is emptied out by the loading operation.

Claim (Index 5):
The nozzle management device according to  claim 1 , further comprising:\n a stocker that accommodates the plurality of pallets, wherein the stocker has a carrier which moves the pallets between a position where the plurality of pallets are accommodated and a position where the nozzle transfer device is capable of unloading the suction nozzle, and wherein in a case where the plurality of pallets accommodated in the stocker are required to transfer the plurality of the suction nozzles designated in the exchange operation to the nozzle station, the control device sets a combination of the plurality of pallets required for the exchange operation so as to minimize at least one of a movement number, a movement time, and a movement distance of the pallets, which are involved in a movement operation of the carrier.
