Patent ID: 8001678

Claim:
A component mounting apparatus for mounting a plurality of components of semiconductor chips fed from a diced wafer on a board, comprising: a board holding device for holding the board fed to the component mounting apparatus releasably at a board holding position; a first mounting head for holding and taking out the component fed from a first component feeding position and mounting the component on the board held at the board holding position; a second mounting head for holding and taking out the component fed from a second component feeding position and mounting the component on the board held at the board holding position; and a component feeding device which is provided with a wafer holding table for holding the wafer and a table moving device for moving the wafer holding table reciprocally between the first component feeding position and the second component feeding position, so as to feed the component from the wafer to each moving head at each component feeding position, wherein the board holding device has a first board holding position where the board on which the component is mounted by the first mounting head is held, and a second board holding position where the board on which the component is mounted by the second mounting head is held, as the board holding positions, further comprising: a first head moving device for moving the first mounting head roughly along a surface of the board independently so as to move between the first board holding position and the first component feeding position; and a second head moving device for moving the second mounting head roughly along the surface of the board independently so as to move between the second board holding position and the second component feeding position.
