1. An electronic component mounting machine that is used in an electronic component mounting line for mounting an electronic component on a substrate so as to produce a mounted board and capable of performing a plurality of types of works by a single machine by replacing a work head to be built into a common platform based on a type of work to be performed by the machine, the electronic component mounting machine comprising:

  • a substrate conveyance mechanism conveys the substrate through an interior of the electronic component mounting machine and a head transfer mechanism which transfers the replaceably attached work head to perform the work, the substrate conveyance mechanism and the head transfer mechanism making up the common platform;

    a storage section that stores a plurality of types of work programs by means of which a mechanism control part that controls the work head and a work operation mechanism including the head transfer mechanism and the substrate conveyance mechanism so as to carry out working operations performs control processing commensurate with a plurality of types of working operations, and a plurality of types of computation processing programs by means of which a computation processing part that performs computation processing required to carry out the working operations performs computation processing commensurate with the plurality of types of working operations;

    an execution control part that controls the mechanism control part and the computation processing part, so as to let the mechanism control part and the computation processing part perform the control processing and the computation processing commensurate with the work type;

    an operation instruction input unit that has individual input parts for individually inputting an individual operation instruction of a machine operator to the execution control part according to instruction descriptions, wherein the individual operation instruction common to the plurality of types of works is displayed with common display arrangement regardless of the work type on each of the individual input parts and the individual operation instruction includes at least a work start/end instruction meaning start or end of working operation of the electronic component mounting machine; and

    a work head recognition unit for recognizing a type of a work head attached to the head transfer mechanism;

    wherein the execution control part determines a work program corresponding to the work head recognized by the work head recognition unit and a computation processing program, from among a plurality of types of stored work programs and computation processing programs, and lets the mechanism control part and the computation processing part perform control processing and computation processing commensurate with an operation instruction, which has been input by the individual input part, according to a determined work program and the determined computation processing program, and wherein a plurality of display panels (4a) each for displaying the individual operation instruction are arranged along the electronic component mounting line.
