Abstract:
A component mounting apparatus, comprising:a tray parts feeder accommodating stacked trays on which components are stocked in rows; a substrate transfer section for transferring a substrate, said substrate transfer section including guide rails on which the substrate is carried and positioned at a predetermined fixed mounting position, said guide rails being laterally spaced apart from said tray parts feeder by a given distance, said selected tray being movable laterally outward of said tray parts feeder in a direction of said guide rails over a distance exceeding said given distance, said guide rails being disposed at a higher position than a selected tray drawn out from the tray parts feeder such that when the selected tray is drawn out from the tray parts feeder farther than said given distance, at least a part of the tray passes directly underneath the guide rails; a mount head that is movable in X and Y directions for picking up components supplied from the tray parts feeder and for mounting the components onto the substrate at the mounting position on the guide rails; and a tray draw-out driver capable of pulling out a tray from the tray parts feeder and of positioning the tray at a predetermined location.
