Abstract:
An apparatus for forming external electrodes on component chips, comprising:an endless component conveyer belt arrangement including a plurality of component holding holes for resiliently holding the component chips;a belt driving mechanism for intermittently driving said component conveyer belt arrangement through a given distance each time the belt is driven;a component-inserting machine for inserting the component chips into the component holding holes, the component inserting machine including first pressure pins for projecting a first end portion of each component chip from one surface of said component conveyer belt arrangement;paste-coating machinery for coating with electrode paste the projection of each component chip held within each component holding hole; anda position misalignment detection apparatus for detecting relative misalignment between said component conveyer belt and a point while the belt is stopped; anda position correction apparatus connected to be responsive to the detection apparatus for correcting the misalignment between said component conveyer belt and said point before the component chips are forced into the component holding holes.
