Patent ID: 8366864

Claim:
A component press bonding apparatus for press bonding components onto a substrate by bringing a plurality of press bonding heads from above into contact with side edge parts of the substrate having undergone positioning by a substrate positioning unit holding the substrate, the component press bonding apparatus comprising: a frame which supports the plurality of press bonding heads so that the press bonding heads are movable upward and downward, the press bonding heads being arranged side by side, a plurality of link mechanisms which respectively move up and down the press bonding heads, the link mechanisms being provided corresponding to the press bonding heads, and a press bonding head driving unit which collectively actuates the link mechanisms thereby collectively moving the press bonding heads upward and downward, wherein the link mechanisms each comprising: a first link member having one end pivotably connected to an upper end of the press bonding head, a second link member having one end pivotably connected to the other end of the first link member and having the other end pivotably connected to the frame above the press bonding head, and a connection slide part connected to a connection part between the first and second link members, wherein the frame comprises: a first frame which supports the press bonding heads so that the press bonding heads are movable upward and downward, and a second frame configured separately from the first frame, the second frame supporting the press bonding head driving unit and pivotably supporting the other ends of the second link members, the press bonding head driving unit comprises: a first slider which is reciprocated in a direction of the side-by-side arrangement of the press bonding heads, and a second slider connected to the connection slide parts of the link mechanisms, the second slider being driven by the first slider through a cam mechanism so as to move the connection slide parts in a direction orthogonal to the direction of the side-by-side arrangement, wherein the press bonding head driving unit drives the first slider reciprocately in the direction of the side-by-side arrangement, thereby driving the connection slide parts of the link mechanisms in the direction orthogonal to the direction of the side-by-side arrangement, thereby opening and closing the first and second link members in the vertical direction, thereby collectively moving the press bonding heads downward and upward.
