Abstract

This foreign matter detection device comprises an acquisition unit and a determination unit. When a substrate work machine performs prescribed work on a substrate, the acquisition unit captures images of an inspection region of at least a portion of the substrate as the work on the substrate progresses, and acquires multiple pieces of image data resulting from capturing of images of the same inspection region. The determination unit determines the presence/absence of foreign matter adhered to the inspection region, on the basis of inspection region characteristic-amount differences, obtained by image processing: reference image data, which is a one piece of image data of said multiple pieces of image data; and inspection image data, which is image data to be inspected and acquired after the reference image data. Furthermore, if the work on the substrate stops after the acquisition of the reference image data but before the acquisition of the inspection image data, the acquisition unit acquires an image of the inspection region at the point in time when the work on the substrate stopped, to obtain image data, which is first image data.

Abstract

In a substrate production simulation method, production of a product substrate on which mounting of a component supplied from a component supply device is completed is simulated using a substrate production line including a mounting line in which multiple component mounters for mounting the component on a substrate are arranged. The method includes steps (a) to (c). In the step (a), a first result is obtained by simulation on the assumption that provision and collection of the component supply device with respect to the substrate production line are performed without delay. In the step (b), a second result is obtained by simulation on the assumption that provision and/or collection of the component supply device with respect to the substrate production line is performed by an automated facility and/or a worker. In the step (c), the first result and the second result are output to the same screen in a form indicating a transition of a production number of product substrates with respect to time.
