Abstract:
1. A component mounting apparatus having a plurality of vacuum pick-up nozzles attached to a mount head so as to revolve about a main shaft, causing one of said vacuum pick-up nozzles to move to a location to be driven by an actuator that is provided at a designated location in the direction of revolution, and causing said vacuum pick-up nozzle to make a forward movement by said actuator for vacuum pick-up and/or mounting of a component; wherein each of said vacuum pick-up nozzles is provided with a pushed plate of a designated size in the direction of revolution of said vacuum pick-up nozzle at a driven portion thereof, said designated size being approximately equal to the distance between adjacent vacuum pick-up nozzles, wherein said actuator comprises: an up/down plate in communication with an up/down motor; a swing lever pivotally provided at an end portion of said up/down plate; and a pushing roller disposed at an end of said swing lever for pushing an end of at least one of said vacuum pick-up nozzles to cause said vacuum pick-up nozzle to make a forward movement simultaneously as said mount head revolves about said main shaft.
