ELECTRONIC COMPONENT SUPPLY APPARATUS

摘要

An electronic component supply apparatus transports a component supply tape which has accommodation sections and sprocket holes formed at regular intervals and which accommodates electronic components in the accommodation sections and is covered with a cover tape, to a component picking-up position and supplies each of the electronic components accommodated in each of the accommodation sections to a component mounting apparatus. The electronic component supply apparatus includes an electronic component detecting unit that detects the electronic component accommodated in the accommodation section of the component supply tape which has yet to pass the cover tape processing unit on a transport path; a determination unit that determines presence or absence of an electronic component in the accommodation section based on information from the electronic component detecting unit; and a control unit that controls a component supply tape transport unit based on a determination result of the determination unit.

主权项

1. An electronic component supply apparatus that transports a component supply tape which has a plurality of accommodation sections and which accommodates electronic components in the accommodation sections and is covered with a cover tape, to a component picking-up position and that supplies each of the electronic components accommodated in each of the accommodation sections to a component mounting apparatus, the electronic component supply apparatus comprising:
a main body unit which is provided with a transport path that guides the component supply tape from an insertion port, through which the component supply tape is inserted, to a discharge port, through which the component supply tape is discharged; a component supply tape transport unit that transports the component supply tape inserted through the insertion port toward the discharge port and that positions the accommodation section at the component picking-up position on an upstream side from the discharge port; a cover-tape processing unit that peels off or cuts open the cover tape of the component supply tape which has yet to reach the component picking-up position and that exposes the electronic component accommodated in the accommodation section; an electronic component detecting unit that detects the electronic component accommodated in the accommodation section of the component supply tape which has yet to pass the cover tape processing unit on the transport path; a determination unit that determines presence or absence of an electronic component in the accommodation section based on information from the electronic component detecting unit; and a control unit that controls the component supply tape transport unit based on a determination result of the determination unit.
