METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR INSERTING ELECTRONIC COMPONENT

摘要

Insertion guides are mounted to slide blocks supported by a guide to be close to or away from each other. The slide blocks are meshed with nut parts of a ball screw threaded in both directions. When the ball screw is rotated via a driving pulley, a belt, and a driven pulley by a rotating/driving device set in an insertion head, the slide blocks and insertion guides mounted to the slide blocks are moved, so that an insertion pitch is changed. When the insertion head is rotated by a rotating/driving device via a driving pulley, a belt, and a driven pulley, an insertion direction is changed as well.
