Patent ID: 6986195

Claim:
An electronic component mounting apparatus comprising: a first guide rail and a second guide rail, the first rail being disposed along a first side of an apparatus base, the second rail being disposed along a second side of the apparatus base, and the first side and the second side being approximately parallel to each other; a movable beam moving along the first guide rail and the second guide rail; a first driving source and a second driving source driving the movable beam, the first driving source being disposed at the first side, and the second driving source being disposed at the second side; a mounting head moving along the movable beam driven by a third driving source; and a suction nozzle disposed on the mounting head, the suction nozzle picking up an electronic component by vacuum suction and mounting the electronic component on a print board, wherein a first end of the movable beam is rotatably supported on the first guide rail so as to be rotatable within a plane defined by the first and second guide rails, and a second end of the movable beam is rotatably supported on the second guide rail so as to be rotatable within the plane defined by the first and second guide rails and is movable in a direction approximately perpendicular to the first and second guide rails.
