Abstract:
An electronic-component mounting system, comprising:a printed-circuit-board supporting device which positions and supports a printed circuit board;a movable table which is movable, relative to the printed-circuit-board supporting device, in at least one of an X direction and a Y direction which are perpendicular to each other and cooperate with each other to define an X-Y plane parallel to a board-support plane on which the printed circuit board is supported by the supporting device;an electronic-component supplying device which is mounted on the movable table and which includes a component-supply portion from which electronic components are supplied one by one;an electronic-component mounting device which is mounted on the movable table together with the electronic-component supplying device and which comprises a component mounting head which receives at a component receiving position the electronic components one by one from the component-supply portion of the electronic-component supplying device and mounts at a component mounting position at least one of the electronic components on the printed circuit board positioned and supported on the board-support plane by the printed-circuit-board supporting device, the electronic-component mounting device further comprising a head moving device which is connected to the component mounting head and which moves the mounting head relative to the movable table to the component receiving position and to the component mounting position, the component receiving position and the component mounting position being distant from each other in one of the X and Y directions; anda manual table moving device which is connected to the movable table and which is manually operated to move the movable table in said at least one of said X direction and said Y direction, wherein the electronic-component mounting device further comprises a head guide which extends between the component-supply portion of the electronic-component supplying device and the printed-circuit-board supporting device along a straight line parallel to said one of the X and Y directions, the component mounting head is supported by the head guide and is movable relative to the head guide, and the head moving device comprises a fluid-pressure-operated cylinder device which moves the component mounting head, along the head guide, to the component receiving position and to the component mounting position.
