PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an electronic component mounting apparatus and method, in which a empty tape is accommodated depending on the type thereof and which does not require classification work after collection. SOLUTION: In an electronic component mounting apparatus for picking up electronic components with a shifting head 13 from a supply part 16 and then moving the components to a substrate 12, a plurality of feeder bases 17 loading a tape feeder 18 for supplying electronic components to a pickup position through pitch feeding of the tape holding the electronic components to the supply part 16 are installed, and each feeder base 17 is provided with a collection box, which is provided with the tape feeder 18 of the same type for discriminating and collecting the empty tape ejected from the tape feeder 17 depending on the type of vacant tape. Thereby, the discriminating work for discriminating the various types of vacant tape after the vacant tape being cut can be dispensed with. |
