Patent ID: 7219823

Claim:
An electronic component mounting apparatus comprising: an electronic component feeding device feeding an electronic component to a component feeding position, and comprising a sprocket which intermittently rotates so that a plurality of feeding teeth provided at a peripheral portion thereof engage sequentially with a plurality of feeding holes provided in a storage tape storing the electronic component therein, a plurality of marks being provided on a side face of the sprocket and corresponding to the feeding teeth; a memory storing positional data of the feeding teeth resting at the component feeding position in association with feeding tooth identification data based on the marks so as to correlate each of the feeding teeth to a corresponding portion of the positional data; a control device correcting a position where the electronic component is picked up by a suction nozzle based on the positional data and the feeding tooth identification data; a checking window formed in a frame supporting the sprocket, through which the marks are recognized; and a human-interface input device inputting the feeding tooth identification data based on the marks recognized through the checking window for storing in association with the positional data.
