PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve the capability of supplying chip parts by providing plural guide paths for guiding parts to a sucking position, and providing plural part storing portions for supplying parts through the respective guide paths. SOLUTION: A bulk case 20 for storing chips in bulk is removably installed in two portions in front and in rear of the upper part of a bulk cassette feeder 8. Whereupon, chip parts in the respective bulk cases 20 are dropped through first chambers 21, 22 and second chambers 23, 24 and aligned in a line in a first chute 25 and a second chute 26 respectively communicated with the second chambers 23, 24. Further, the chutes 25, 26 are extended in parallel to each other to guide the chip parts, so that a large-scale supply mechanism is not needed and the trouble required for replacement is reduced. Thus, while the strength of the parts feeder itself is kept, the space on a supply table can be effectively used. |
