MAINTENANCE METHOD AND COMPONENT MOUNTER

摘要

Provided is a maintenance method which makes it possible to collectively and quantitatively detect maintenance timings of parts included in respective devices in a component mounter. A management apparatus determines a position of an equipped device using a RF-tag reader/writer (S1001). Then, from the RF tag, the RF-tag reader/writer obtains maintenance information regarding parts in the device (S1002). Then, the determination unit determines a maintenance timing of each of the parts, by comparing maintenance information recorded in a maintenance reference information storage unit to the maintenance information of each part which has been obtained at S1002 (S1003). Next, if it is not yet the maintenance timing (N0 at S1003), then the determination unit (608) ends the determining processing. On the other hand, if it is the maintenance timing (YES at S1003), then the determination unit (608) instructs a warning unit to provide warning (S1004) and stops driving of the component mounter.
