Parts feeder.

摘要

A parts feeder (20) for feeding parts (14) that are disposed on a carrier tape (10) consisting of a base tape (11) and an adhesive tape (15), wherein the parts (14) are disposed above holes (13) which are formed at equal intervals on the base tape (11), and wherein the parts (14) are held by the adhesive tape (15) adhered to a lower surface of the base tape (11). The feeder (20) includes a pitched feeding mechanism (31) for intermittently feeding the carrier tape (10) at a predetermined pitch, and a separating mechanism (32) for separating the adhesive tape (15) from the base tape (11) in synchronization with the feeding of the carrier tape (10) at an adhesive tape separating stage (62). Furthermore, a pressing mechanism (30) is provided for pressing the parts (14) disposed on the base tape (11) against the base tape prior to the separation of the adhesive tape (15) from the base tape (11) at the adhesive tape separating stage (62).
