PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an electronic-component mounting apparatus, by which a situation that chips housed in a bulk-type parts feeder becomes out of shock can be predicted on the side of a machine body. SOLUTION: A bulk-type parts feeder 20 is formed in such a way that a case 22 in which chips P are housed at random is mounted on a body 21. The chips P which are sent out in a row to a tunnel inside the body 21 from the case 22 are sucked out to a picking-up position, due to a negative pressure generated by a negative-pressure generator inside the body 21, and they are picked up by a nozzle 6 at a transfer head 5. A situation that the chips P at the parts feeder 20 becomes out of stock is detected by a sensor 40 installed at the inside of the body 21. Then, a control part 41 turns on a light-emitting element 42 which is installed on the surface of the body 21, a sensor 8 on the side of a machine body detected its light, and the side of the machine body predicts that the chips become out of stock soon. |
