<p>The invention relates to an apparatus for supplying electronic components to a pick-up position, for example for automatically picking up and mounting said components on a printed circuit board by means of a mounting device, at least two supply carriers (8a,8b) being movable towards said pickup-position (7) by transport means, which carriers are each provided with recessed portions (9a,9b) containing respective electronic components, while said recessed portions are shielded off by means of a covering (10a,10b) which is removable during use. The invention aims to provide a tape-feeder of this kind with multiple tape supplies, wherein the mounting device can handle more electronic components whilst maintaining the width of the apparatus. The apparatus according the invention is characterized in that the supply carriers (8a,8b) overlap each other in lateral direction near the pick-up position (7), but such that at least the recessed portions (9a,9b) of an overlapped supply carrier (8a,8b) are freely accessible to the component mounting device in the pickup position (7).</p> |
