Abstract:
1. A chip component carrying method for carrying a chip component by using a first rotary disc that rotates on a horizontal plane and a second rotary disc that rotates on the horizontal plane in a direction opposite to a rotational direction of the first rotary disc, a part of a circumferential surface of the second rotary disc being positioned between on outer edge of a chip mounting surface on the horizontal plane of the first rotary disc and an axis of the first rotary disc, a gap between the part of the circumferential surface of the second rotary disc and the chip mounting surface of the first rotary disc being narrower than a height of a chip component, the method comprising: carrying the chip component by the rotation of the first rotary disc while holding the chip component by the chip mounting surface of the first rotary disc; abutting the chip component to a part of the circumferential surface of the second rotary disc, at a time when the chip component is positioned between the axis of the first rotary disc and an outer periphery of the chip mounting surface of the first rotary disc; suctioning and holding the chip component by the circumferential surface of the second rotary disc; and carrying the chip component carried by the rotation of the second rotary disc.
