<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a component supply method for accurately carrying out the production lot control of electronic components mounted onto a circuit board without deteriorating the operating efficiency in component mounting, and to provide a component mounting apparatus by embodying and applying the component supply method. <P>SOLUTION: A component supplying apparatus 3 has a component accommodation section 4 where a plurality of electronic components are accommodated. When a plurality of component supplying apparatus 3 are arranged at a component supply section 2, and a desired electronic component is successively supplied from the component accommodation section 4 of each component supplying apparatus 3, component change timing when the component accommodation section 4 that is being used for supplying components is changed to another accommodation section 4 is detected and stored for each component supplying apparatus 3, and the component change timing is controlled for each component supply apparatus 3. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2003,JPO |
