METHOD FOR OPTIMIZING COMPONENT MOUNTING SEQUENCE WITH VARIABLE PITCH HEADS AND COMPONENT MOUNTING DEVICE USING THE SAME
First Claim
1. A method of determining a sequence of mounting a plurality of components on a board by using a plurality of variable pitch heads having a plurality of pitches, the method comprising:
- partitioning the board into a plurality of sectors, each of the sectors comprising a plurality of mounting points arranged in parallel with a direction in which the heads are arranged;
dividing the board into a plurality of sub-boards comprising first sub-boards based on the sectors, each of the first sub-boards comprising as many mounting points as the heads; and
determining a combination of a sequence of mounting the components on the board and at least one pitch among the pitches required to mount the components on the board in a shortest time, compared to another sequence or other sequences of mounting the components on the board and another pitch or other pitches among the pitches, based on the first sub-boards.

Abstract
A method is provided for determining a sequence of mounting a plurality of components on a board by using variable pitch heads having a plurality of pitches. The method includes: partitioning the board into a plurality of sectors, each of the sectors including a plurality of mounting points arranged in parallel with a direction in which the heads are arranged; dividing the board into a plurality of sub-boards including first sub-boards based on the sectors, each of the first sub-boards including as many mounting points as the heads; and determining a combination of a sequence of mounting the components on the board and at least one pitch among the pitches required to mount the components on the board in a shortest time, compared to another sequence or other sequences of mounting the components on the board and another pitch or other pitches among the pitches, based on the first sub-boards.

14. A device for mounting a plurality of components on a board, the device comprising:
-
a loader comprising a plurality of variable pitch heads having a plurality of pitches; and a controller which; partitions the board into a plurality of sectors, each of the sectors comprising a plurality of mounting points arranged in parallel with a direction in which the heads are arranged; divides the board into a plurality of sub-boards comprising first sub-boards based on the sectors, each of the first sub-boards comprising as many mounting points as the heads; and determines a combination of a sequence of mounting the components on the board and at least one pitch among the pitches required to mount the components on the board in a shortest time, compared to another sequence or other sequences of mounting the components on the board and another pitch or other pitches among the pitches, based on the first sub-boards. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26)
