COMPONENT SUPPLY DEVICE, AND COMPONENT SUPPLY CONTROL METHOD

摘要

The present invention addresses the problem of providing: a component supply device (11) which forms a pool section (20) on which workpieces (12) are densely placed, and is capable of maintaining the length of the pool section (20) at an appropriate length; and a component supply control method therefor. Specifically, a component supply device (11), and a component supply control method therefor are characterised in that the device comprises: a rotating circular table (14); a bowl feeder (16) comprising a chute (17) that supplies workpieces (12) onto the table (14); and a pool section sensor (21) that detects the length of a pool section (20), which is an area where the workpieces (12) supplied onto the table (14) are placed, and in that the workpieces are supplied (12) onto the table (14) by moving or rotating the bowl feeder (16) only by a prescribed angle, and forming the area of the pool section (20) on the basis of the detection result of the pool section sensor (21).
