Patent ID: 8376012

Claim:
A component press-bonding apparatus including a press-bonding tool for press-bonding components, which are placed on a panel so as to be arrayed in a first direction, to the panel via a sheet, wherein the component press-bonding apparatus has a sheet conveyance unit comprising: a plurality of feed reels which are arrayed in the first direction and which feed a plurality of sheets in a second direction orthogonal to a press-bonding direction of the press-bonding tool and the first direction; a plurality of path members which form, in parallel with the first direction, a plurality of sheet paths extending in the second direction that is a direction extending from the individual feed reels and passing through above their corresponding components; and a common feed roller which is driven and rotated in a state of being in contact with the plurality of sheets on the plurality of sheet paths arrayed in the first direction, whereby the common feed roller feeds the plurality of sheets simultaneously in the second direction along the individual sheet paths so as to make the sheets pass from the individual feed reels through above the components, and wherein the plurality of feed reels and path members are movable in the first direction so that placement of the plurality of sheet paths arrayed in parallel in the first direction can be changed in the first direction in correspondence to positions above the components arrayed in the first direction, and the common feed roller is removably fitted to the sheet conveyance unit so as to go separate from the sheets.
