Abstract
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 (NO 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.

31. A maintenance method for maintaining a component mounter which mounts a component onto a board, said method comprising steps of:
-
determining a position of a device included in the component mounter, using a signal received from a radio frequency (RF) tag attached to the device; reading maintenance information regarding maintenance for each of the devices or each of parts included in the device, from the RF tag attached to the device located at the position determined in said determining; and determining whether or not maintenance is necessary for the part, based on the read maintenance information. - View Dependent Claims (32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46)

49. A program realizing a maintenance method of maintaining a component mounter which mountes a component onto a board, said program causing a computer to execute steps of:
-
determining a position of a device included in the component mounter, using a signal received from a radio frequency (RF) tag attached to the device; reading maintenance information regarding maintenance for each of the devices or each of parts included in the device, from the RF tag attached to the device located at the position determined in said determining; and determining whether or not maintenance is necessary for the part, based on the read maintenance information.
