ABSTRACT:
An automated pick-and-place apparatus for assembling a printed circuit board includes a housing portion for housing a plurality of electronic component dispensing mechanisms. A packaging portion is included in which selected component dispensing units are placed from which components are individually picked by a mounting device and mounted on the printed circuit board in predetermined locations. Each of the component dispensing units is provided with a data storage unit for reading and writing type and quantity information concerning the respective electronic components. A production manager determines the types and quantities of electronic components needed for production of a variety of printed circuit boards and generates a production schedule depending upon the type of board to be assembled. A control device controls operation of the mounting device, read write means and transfer means for controlling assembly of the printed circuit board in accordance with the production manager. By automating generating of the production schedule and coupling the controlling device and the production manager, changer-over from one type of printed circuit board to another occurs in a completely automated fashion without any manual intervention. Additionally, a robotic conveying means may be controlled to transfer component dispensing means from a remote storage means to the assembly device.
