COMPONENT MOUNTING LINE AND COMPONENT MOUNTING METHOD

摘要

A component mounting line has a screen printing apparatus and component mounting apparatuses. Each component mounting apparatus includes a first substrate carrying lane and a second substrate carrying lane, carries a first type substrate on which a first pattern has been printed in the first substrate carrying lane, performs a component mounting-relevant operation on the first type substrate, carries a second type substrate on which a second pattern has been printed in the second substrate carrying lane, and performs a component mounting-relevant operation on the second type substrate. The screen printing apparatus selects a type of the substrate to be carried in depending on whether a substrate is carried in the second component mounting apparatus downstream from the screen printing apparatus.

1. A component mounting line comprising:
a screen printing apparatus that prints paste on a substrate; and a plurality of component mounting apparatuses that are arranged in series on a downstream side of the screen printing apparatus and perform a component mounting-relevant operation on the substrate on which the paste has been printed by the screen printing apparatus, wherein the screen printing apparatus includes
a mask in which a first pattern-forming area in which a first pattern corresponding to a first type substrate is formed and a second pattern-forming area in which a second pattern corresponding to a second type substrate is formed are arranged in a predetermined pattern arrangement direction,a substrate support unit moving mechanism that moves a substrate support unit supporting a substrate in the pattern arrangement direction below the mask and that selectively brings the substrate into contact with one of the first pattern-forming area and the second pattern-forming area, anda print head that prints the paste on the substrate selectively brought into contact with one of the first pattern-forming area and the second pattern-forming area by moving over the mask, wherein each of the plurality of component mounting apparatuses includes a first substrate carrying lane and a second substrate carrying lane which are arranged in the pattern arrangement direction, carries the first type substrate on which the first pattern has been printed in the first substrate carrying lane, performs a component mounting-relevant operation on the first type substrate, carries the second type substrate on which the second pattern has been printed in the second substrate carrying lane, and performs a component mounting-relevant operation on the second type substrate, and wherein the screen printing apparatus selects a type of the substrate to be carried in depending on whether a substrate is carried in the second component mounting apparatus downstream from the screen printing apparatus.
