There is. Therefore, the loader 50 may automatically exchange the individual feeders before the switching of the supply area 20A and the individual feeders after the switching of the buffer area 20B so as to be switched up and down.
- the loader 50 can take out the switched individual feeder from the buffer area 20B and quickly place it in the appropriate position Sa of the supply area 20A without moving in the X direction (horizontal direction). Further, since the loader 50 only needs to replace the individual feeders and does not need to replace the common feeders, it is possible to reduce the number of feeders 30 to be automatically exchanged at the time of job switching and reduce the time required for automatic exchange. ..

- FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing an example of a group setting processing routine.
- the CPU 80a first sets the set number k corresponding to the number of contained jobs in the group to an initial value (for example, a value 1) (S200), and acquires the feeder information of the feeder 30 necessary for the job Jk.
- the feeder information of the feeder 30 necessary for the job J(k+1) is acquired (S220).
- the feeder 30 having a common component type for each job is set as a common feeder, and the feeders 30 for other component types required for each job are set as individual feeders (S230).
- the total number of combinations of common feeders and individual feeders of each job that can be arranged in the supply area 20A and the total number of combinations of individual feeders of each job that can be arranged in the buffer area 20B are calculated (S240). ..
- the set number k is 1, the combination of the common feeder of jobs J(1) and J(2) and the individual feeder of job J(1) and job J(1), in the supply area 20A, There is a combination in which the common feeder for J(2) and the individual feeder for job J(2) are placed.
- the set number k is incremented to reach a value of 3, for example, a combination in which the common feeder of jobs J(1) to J(4) and the individual feeder of job J(1) are arranged in the supply area 20A ( 9A) and a combination (see FIG. 9B) in which the common feeder for jobs J(1) to J(4) and the individual feeder for job J(2) are arranged.
- a combination in which individual feeders of jobs J(2) to J(4) are arranged in the buffer area 20B and individual feeders of jobs J(1), J(3), and J(4) are provided.
- the CPU 80a calculates the total number of feeders for each of these combinations.
- the CPU 80a determines whether or not the total number of combinations of the feeders 30 arranged in the supply area 20A is within the range that can be accommodated in the supply area 20A (S250), and the total number of combinations of the feeders 30 arranged in the buffer area 20B. Is within a range that can be accommodated in the buffer area 20B (S260). If it is determined in S250 and S260 that both are within the range, the set number k is incremented by the value 1 (S270), and the process returns to S220 to repeat the process. On the other hand, when the CPU 80a makes a negative determination in S250 or S260, it sets k jobs up to job Jk in one production group (S280).
- the CPU 80a can set a production group having as many jobs as possible.
- each production group has a large number of jobs, it is possible to reduce the number of production groups and suppress the number of times production groups are switched. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the number of executions of the initial placement process of the feeders 30 required when the production group is switched, and improve the production efficiency of the entire job.
- the CPU 80a determines whether or not all the jobs to be executed have been set in any of the production groups (S290), and when determining that they have not been set, returns to S200 and repeats the processing. For example, when one production group up to job J(4) is set, a value 5 is set to the initial value of the set number k in S200 and a new production group is set from job J5. If the CPU 80a determines in S290 that all jobs to be executed have been set in any production group, the CPU 80a ends the production group setting processing routine.
- the buffer area 20B is arranged below the supply area 20A, and the range corresponding to the arrangement area of the individual feeders in the supply area 20A is illustrated as the lower range.
- the present invention is not limited to this, and the upper area of the supply area 20A is not limited thereto.
