Abstract:
1. A component mounting apparatus comprising a plurality of component mounting sections connected to each other so as to provide a board transfer path along which a board is to be transferred, each of said plurality of component mounting sections comprising: two component supply tables for accommodating components, said two component supply tables being arranged on both sides of the board transfer path, respectively; and two mounting heads each having component suction nozzles for picking up the components from said two component supply tables, respectively, and mounting the picked-up components onto the board, with each of said two mounting heads being linearly moveable in two directions that are perpendicular to each other, and with said component suction nozzles of each of said two mounting heads being rotatable around an axis, wherein one of said two mounting heads is operable to have said component suction nozzles thereof successively pick up the components from one of said two component supply tables and thereafter successively mount the picked-up components onto the board, and the other of said two mounting heads is operable to have said component suction nozzles thereof successively pick up the components from the other of said two component supply tables and thereafter successively mount these picked-up components onto the board.
