A component feeder that is provided with a feeding mechanism (70) that feeds, at a designated feeding pitch, a component tape wherein components are held on a carrier tape at a designated arrangement pitch. The component feeder supplies one component at a time from a designated supply position. The component feeder is also provided with a feed verification mechanism (170) that is for verifying whether the component tape has been fed by the feed mechanism at the feeding pitch. For example, a pin (172) is inserted at a designated position into a feed hole that is provided in the carrier tape, and a sensor (176) detects whether the pin has actually been inserted. The feeder is highly reliable because the feeder verifies whether a component will be or has been properly fed to the supply position. |
