<p>The purpose of the present invention is to provide a feeder control device configured such that only in cases involving components requiring supply precision are sprockets made to engage with a component supply tape after deriving starting positions of the sprockets. Accordingly, the present invention is provided with a controller which (steps (106-114)) supplies components to component suction positions. In cases when a component supply tape (12) accommodating components smaller than a prescribed size is set in a tape feeder (11), the controller supplies the components to the component suction positions by rotationally driving sprockets (42) until starting points thereof are detected by starting-point detection means (87, 87a), and subsequently maneuvering the sprockets into engagement positions. In cases when a component supply tape accommodating components larger than the prescribed size is set in the tape feeder, the controller supplies the components to the component suction positions by maneuvering the sprockets from retracted positions into the engagement positions, and subsequently rotationally driving each of the sprockets by a prescribed angle, regardless of pitch error, until the starting points of the sprockets are detected.</p> |
