Abstract:
An electronic component mounting apparatus in which a plurality of electronic components preliminarily aligned in a mounting order at a prescribed position are picked up and held by suction with a plurality of nozzles provided on a mounting head and mounted in succession at prescribed mounting positions on a circuit board comprising:an electronic component feeding unit in which trays loaded with electronic components are stocked and a tray accommodating electronic components of desired type is successively transferred to a tray feeding position;a tray draw-out means having a draw-out arm for pulling out the tray which has been brought to the tray feeding position by coupling the tray to the draw-out arm and moving the draw-out arm forward and backward so that the electronic components desired to be picked up are brought to locate at a component pick-up position along a component transfer line;a component transfer mechanism which travels along one axis of the component transfer line for picking up by suction the electronic components located at the pick-up position and transferring them; anda temporary holder which is positioned on the component transfer line for holding a plurality of electronic components transferred by the transfer mechanism in a mounting order.
