COMPONENT MOUNTING DEVICE AND COMPONENT MOUNTING METHOD

摘要

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a component mounting method, and a component mounting device provided with multiple mounting lanes wherein, when the substrate type is changed, the component mounting device is capable of performing a device type switching operation without stopping operation of the mounting lane in production and without compromising operator safety. A component mounting device (1) provided with a first mounting lane (L1) and a second mounting lane (L2) is capable of selecting an independent mounting mode and an alternating mounting mode, wherein, when a device type switching operation is performed accompanying a change in the substrate type to be mounted, the mounting head of said mounting lane is moved to and fixed in a position in which the operator can be blocked from inserting a body part through an opening (19) provided on a protective cover (18a), said position being a certain predetermined retracted position [P] such that operator safety is not compromised even upon collision with the mounting head of the opposite-side mounting lane.
