PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an electronic component crimping apparatus and an electronic component crimping method capable of effectively and economically using a crimping sheet.SOLUTION: A control unit 30 determines whether a crimping work which is carried out based on a next operation sequence is possible by using only crimping heads 14 the number of crimping times of which has not reached a limit value based on a piece of crimping work information. When the crimping work is determined as possible, the control unit 30 selects crimping heads 14 to be used for the crimping work from the crimping heads 14 having not reached the limit value. Contrarily, when the crimping work is determined as impossible, the control unit 30 selects the crimping heads 14 to be used in the next operation sequence from all crimping heads 14. After selecting the crimping heads 14, the control unit 30 feeds a crimping sheet 21 one pitch in a Y1 direction. After feeding of the crimping sheet 21 by one pitch, the control unit 30 resets the number of crimping times of the respective crimping heads 14. |
