WORK MOUNTING APPARATUS

摘要

A work mounting apparatus according to the present invention comprises a rotating drum (4) arranged above a workbench and divided into upper and lower drums (26,28), a head unit (68) detachably mounted to the lower drum (28) of the rotating drum (4), a circular work head (70) attached to the head unit (68), a suction nozzle (78) protruding from the outer peripheral surface of the work head (70) toward the workbench, and a controller (69) housed in the upper drum (28) of the rotating drum (4) for controlling the turning motion of the work head (70) and the supply of suction pressure to the suction nozzle (78). While the lower drum (28) is rotating, the suction nozzle (78) of the work head (70) repeats cycloid motion along the workbench with its posture kept fixed with respect to the workbench. While repeating the cycloid motion, the nozzle (78) receives a work from a work feeder of the workbench by suction, and mounts the work on a printed board on the workbench.
