Axial type electronic component inserting method and apparatus

摘要

An axial type electronic component inserting apparatus inserts into specified holes of a board an axial type electronic component having a pair of lead wires. The apparatus includes chucks constructed so that the chucks can move forward and backward while grasping end portions of the axial type electronic component, a component carrying device which is provided with the chucks arranged at regular intervals in a circular form, a component supplying device which is provided with a cutter for cutting the tape connecting the assembly of axial type electronic components and operates to supply each axial type electronic component to each chuck located in the component supplying position, a component transferring device which receives each axial type electronic component from each chuck located in the component transferring position and transfers the axial type electronic component to a component inserting position, and a component inserting device inserts both the ends of the lead wires into the specified holes of the board, and bends the lead wires underneath the board so as to fix the axial type electronic component to the board.
