COMPONENT SUPPLY DEVICE AND COMPONENT SUPPLY METHOD

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a component supply device for peeling off a top tape from a carrier tape capable of preventing interference of a transfer head of a component mounting apparatus with a nozzle.SOLUTION: A component supply device 10 includes: an inclined path P2; a horizontal path P3 extending from the front end of the inclined path P2 through a component supply position Q; a sprocket 12 that engages with feeding holes 202b of a carrier tape 200 above the inclined path P2; a guide member 14 that performs a positioning of the carrier tape 200 on the horizontal path P3 in a width direction; and a top tape peeling mechanism 50 disposed in an inclined area 24 above the inclined path P2 for peeling off a top tape 204 from a base tape 202 on the inclined path P2 between the sprocket 12 and the horizontal path P3. The top tape peeling mechanism 50 has: a blade 52 for peeling off the top tape; and a guide member 54 for guiding the top tape 204 peeled off by the blade 52 in a direction away from the component supply position Q while preventing the top tape 204 from being lifted up.
