Abstract:
1. A component feeder system comprising: a wafer feeding plate for feeding wafer feed components to be mounted on a board; a tray feeding plate for feeding tray feed components to be mounted on the board, the tray feeding plate configured to have a component feeding tray having a plurality of the tray feed components placed thereon and the wafer feeding plate configured to have a wafer having a plurality of the wafer feed components placed thereon, while allowing the wafer feed components and tray feed components to be mounted; and a plate placing device configured to selectively place and hold the wafer feeding plate and the tray feeding plate and allowing a wafer feed component and a tray feed component to be fed from the wafer feeding tray and the component feeding tray, respectively, the wafer feed component and the tray feed component being fed during different modes, the plate placing device for placing and holding either the wafer feeding plate or the tray feeding plate so that a feeding height of the wafer feed component on the wafer feeding plate and a feeding height of the tray feed component on the tray feeding plate are approximately equal to each other.
