Abstract

PURPOSE:To enable conversion to a target package data to be made easily and eliminate the need for individual conversion between models by converting the packaging data of the conversion source to a standard packaging data once and then retrieving a packaging data generation library which is registered previously. CONSTITUTION:When converting a packaging data 1 of a conversion source (model A) to that of a conversion destination (model B) using a standard packaging data 3 and a conversion destination data generation library 4, the model A packaging data 1 is converted to the standard packaging data 3 in a standard packaging data conversion process 5. When the model A packaging data does not include parts name, the parts name is input the for each parts cassette number separately. Then, the standard packaging data 3 is converted to the model B packaging data 2 at an exchange destination packaging data conversion process 6. In this exchange destination packaging data conversion process 6, data is retrieved from the exchange destination packaging data generation library 4 with the parts name of each packaging position as a key and the retrieved packaging data and the packaging position data are synthesized to the model B packaging data 2 which is the exchanged destination packaging data.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a method for converting mounting data between different types of mounting machines.

(Conventional technology) In recent years, various models of component mounting machines have appeared on the market, but the representation format of mounting data is often unique to each model, and the representation format of mounting data differs between different models. . Therefore, there is a desire in the market to be able to convert mounting data between different types of mounting machines.

Conventionally, as shown in FIG. 2, the method of converting mounting data between different types of mounting machines involves converting data individually between the machines. For example, mounting data 21 of the mounting machine of model A
When converting the data into mounting data 22 and 23 for mounting machines of B type and C type, a conversion process 24 from A type to B type and a conversion process 25 from A type to C type are carried out separately. , a conversion method that was applicable to only one combination of conversions was applied.

(This is a problem that the invention is trying to solve!) However, with the conversion method described above, every time a new model of mounting machine comes out or a new market arises, the Therefore, it was necessary to develop a method for converting data individually, which caused problems such as a decrease in development ability, an increase in development cost, and poor usability due to the individuality.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the above problems, it is an object of the present invention to provide a mounting data conversion method that does not require individual conversion between models.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to achieve the above object, the present invention includes a step of converting source mounting data into standard mounting data including the mounting position and component name of each component, and converting the standard mounting data into standard mounting data. The present invention is characterized by comprising the steps of: searching a conversion destination mounting data generation library using a component name as a key and converting the conversion destination mounting data into conversion destination mounting data.

Preferably, the conversion destination implementation data generation library has the same representation format as the conversion destination implementation data.

(Function) With the above-described configuration, the present invention registers in advance the mounting data generation library of the model to be data converted, and then converts it to standard mounting data, and then uses this standard mounting data as an intermediary to perform arbitrary processing. can be easily converted into mounting data for different models.

(Example) Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows an example of converting mounting data for a mounting machine of model A into mounting data for a mounting machine of model B. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 indicates mounting data of a mounting machine of type A, which is the source mounting data, and mounting data 2 of a mounting machine of model B, which is destination mounting data. Mounting data 1 of model A has data content 1) consisting of mounting position, cassette number, and mounting method data, and mounting data 2 of model B has mounting position, cassette number, part name, part shape data, and mounting method data. , and has data content 12 consisting of recognition data, each of which has an expression format unique to the mounting machine.

Reference numeral 3 indicates standard mounting data, which has data contents 13 including coordinate values X and Y for specifying the mounting position, mounting angle θ, component name, and others.

4 is a conversion destination mounting data generation library, in this case an 8-model mounting data generation library. In this 8-model mounting data generation library 4, each part has data content 14 consisting of a part name, part shape data, mounting method data, and recognition data, and is expressed in the same way as the data content of the mounting data of model B. It has a format.

Next, a process of converting the mounting data l of the replacement destination (model A) into mounting data of the replacement destination (model B) using the standard mounting data 3 and the replacement data generation library 4 will be explained. First, A model mounting data 1 is converted into standard mounting data 3 in a standard mounting data conversion step 5. Here, if the A model mounting data does not include a component name, a separate step of inputting a component name for each component cassette number is required. next,
Standard mounting data 3 is converted to 8 in exchange destination mounting data conversion process 6.
Convert to model mounting data 2. This exchange destination mounting data conversion step 6 includes a search step 7 of searching data from the exchange destination mounting data generation library 4 using the component name of each mounting position as a key, and converting the searched mounting data and mounting position data into the exchange destination mounting data. It consists of a synthesis step 8 for synthesizing the eight model mounting data 2.

According to the above mounting data conversion method between different types of mounting machines,
Mounting data generation library 4 for mounting machine to be converted
By registering in advance, mounting data can be easily converted between mounting machines of the required model.

Note that if the standard mounting data can be converted from the CAD system, it becomes possible to import data from the CAD system and generate mounting data specific to each type of mounting machine, which is even more effective.

(Effects of the Invention) As described above, according to the mounting data conversion method of the present invention, after converting source mounting data to -H standard mounting data,
By searching the pre-registered mounting data generation library, it is possible to easily convert to the destination mounting data, and even if there are many models to be converted or new models are added, a conversion method can be developed individually. There is no need for this, it can easily handle mounting data conversion between a wide range of different types of mounting machines, and it is advantageous in terms of cost and usability.
