Abstract:
A component mounting apparatus comprising:a component feeding section for feeding components to a predetermined location; a mounting surface handling device for handling and positioning a mounting surface at a predetermined location for component mounting and for transferring the mounting surface to other places; a component handling device having a component handling tool for picking up the component fed from the component feeding section, bringing a bonding face of the component into tight contact with a bonding face of the mounting surface, and pressing the component onto the mounting surface; an ultrasonic vibration device for applying ultrasonic vibration to the component held by the component handling tool through this tool; a controller, wherein the controller performs controlling of said sections and devices such that a metallic electrical bonding area of the component is located to face a metallic electrical bonding area of the mounting surface at the component mounting position, and both are tightly pressed to each other, so that a sealant that is supplied in advance to one of the bonding faces of the component and the mounting surface is compressed and filled between both bonding faces in a required area, and at the same time the ultrasonic vibration device is activated so as to ultrasonically bond the electrical bonding areas of the component and the mounting surface together; and a sealant feeder for supplying the sealant to one of the bonding faces of the component and the mounting surface before the component and the mounting surface are located to face each other, the sealant feeder being activated by the controller.
