<p>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide method and apparatus for dividing a rectangular board constituted by continuously connecting small boards in one row into the small boards, without applying a pressure to component parts placed on the board. SOLUTION: A rectangular board 4 is clamped by feed rollers 2a, 2b from a side, fed forward, and simultaneously fixed. And, the board 4 is clamped at its forward end by oblique rollers 3a, 3b from the side, applied by a downward force, and divided into small boards. The board is clamped from the side, no pressure is hence applied onto the board, and a situation that a mounting component part is damaged can be avoided. An irregularity of the pressure due to an irregularity of heights of the parts is eliminated as compared with a method for applying the pressure to a board surface. And, a crack of an unnecessary portion of the board due to the irregularity of the pressure or a burr of the divided portion can be suppressed to a minimum limit.</p> |
