ELECTRONIC COMPONENT MOUNTING APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR MANAGING NOZZLE MOUNTING HISTORY DATA

摘要

Provided are an electronic component mounting apparatus and a method for managing nozzle mounting history data, by which nozzle mounting history data can be correctly managed and data reliability can be ensured. The electronic component mounting apparatus mounts an electronic component on a substrate by a suction nozzle removably mounted on a mounting head. Whether there is a suction nozzle or not on the mounting head is detected by a judging section (27), based on flow volume measuring results obtained from a flow volume sensor (24). The electronic component mounting apparatus has a remounting detecting section (38) which detects that the suction nozzle is remounted by a machine operator after having been removed once, based on the nozzle existence detection results. Thus, when the suction nozzle is remounted by the machine operator by manual operation, readout operation of identification information of the suction nozzle can be performed by a substrate recognition camera (9) as needed, and data reliability is ensured by correctly updating and managing the nozzle mounting history data.
