Patent ID: 7033842

Claim:
An electronic component mounting apparatus, for applying viscous liquid to multiple projecting electrodes formed on a projecting electrode formation face of an electronic component, and for mounting the electronic component on a work, comprising: a viscous liquid supply unit for supplying the viscous liquid that is spread out and evenly distributed during a flattening stage; an arrangement means including an inversion unit for holding, inversion, and arranging the electronic component on the evenly distributed viscous liquid while the projecting electrodes continue to contact the viscous liquid; a mounting unit having a mounting head that includes a mounting nozzle and used for the vacuum chucking of the electronic component, said mounting unit for extracting the electronic component arranged on the viscous liquid using the mounting nozzle and for mounting the electronic component on the work; an electronic component recognition unit having a camera for obtaining images of the electronic component held by the mounting nozzle, for employing an image obtained by the camera to identify the location of the electronic component; and a mounting controller for controlling the mounting unit based on the recognition results obtained by the electronic component recognition unit, and for positioning, on the work, the electronic component held by the mounting nozzle.
