PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a part feeder which is reduced in number of parts to device reduction in manufacturing cost and improve operating reliability. SOLUTION: A part feeder 100 is equipped with an air cylinder 60, which serves as a power source that carries out a reciprocating operation for feeding a tape 3 where electronic components 2 are arranged toward objects to be fed, and magnetic sensors 62 and 63 which are provided as detecting means for detecting the reciprocating operation of a shaft 61 included in the air cylinder 60 are provided integrally to the air cylinder 60. With this setup, the part feeder 100 can be reduced in the number of its component parts, so that overall cost can be reduced. Operating parts which may cause troubles are reduced in number, so that the feeder is improved in operating reliability and restrained in maintenance cost. |
