Abstract:
1. An electronic component mounting apparatus comprising: a component feeding device supplying electronic components; a first beam and a second beam that are movable in a first direction and elongated in a second direction; a first mounting head movable along the first beam in the second direction and comprising a first suction nozzle; and a second mounting head movable along the second beam in the second direction and comprising a second suction nozzle, wherein the first and second beams and the first and second mounting heads are configured to take a horizontally overlapping position where the first and second mounting heads are placed between the first and second beams in a horizontally overlapping manner above the component feeding device such that uncontrolled movement of the first and second mounting heads would result in a collision between the first and second mounting heads, and in the horizontally overlapping position, a distance between the first and second beams in the first direction is smaller than a sum of a length of the first mounting head in the first direction and a length of the second mounting head in the first direction.
