<p>A method is disclosed for supplying components to an electronic component mounting or insertion machine, the machine having first and second component supply tables each having a plurality of component supply units, the method comprising steps of: (a) supplying components to be mounted from the supply units to a component mounting device in a predetermined order; (b) sensing for exhaustion of a component from a supply unit of one said table; and (c) continuing with the supply of subsequent components from the other said table while said one table is moved to a replenishment station. Other features are disclosed which allow the machine to continue to supply subsequent components from the table containing the exhausted component prior to replenishment and for skipping components to be taken from a table that is being replenished and inserting the skipped components subsequently.</p> |
