PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain an apparatus capable of miniaturization of a swing drive mechanism to a wire bonding tool, smooth and high speed operation, and reduction of work time, by installing a lower clamper swinging mechanism and a swinging mechanism for swinging a capillary arm, as mutually independent bodies. SOLUTION: This apparatus is provided with the following: an apparatus main body 20, a wire feeder 21, a lower clamper 31 which clamps or relieves at a right time a wire 22 sent out from the wire feeder 21 and is pivotally supported in the wire sending direction, and a capillary arm 32 positioned in the vicinity of the lower clamper 31 which arm is pivotally supported in the wire sending direction and has a capillary 32 for inserting a wire 22 on one end. In this wire bonding apparatus, a lower clamper swinging mechanism 30 which swings the lower clamper 31, and a swinging mechanism 35 which swings the capillary arm 32 are installed as mutually independent bodies. |
