AUTOMATICALLY TAPING ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS

摘要

An apparatus for automatically taping electronic components is arranged such that when a timing belt 1 retaining lead terminals 6 of electronic components 5 in its retainer grooves 3 is engaged with a toothed pulley of a first rotary drum 10, the lead terminals are lifted to be transferred from the timing belt to the first rotary drum. For this purpose, the dedendum circle R1 of the retainer teeth 12a of the first rotary drum 10 passes above the bottom level of the retainer grooves 3 of the timing belt 1. The electronic components are transferred from the first drum to a third rotary drum 30 via a second rotary drum 20 being retained by their retainer teeth. A base tape T2 is fed to the periphery of the third rotary drum 30 and an adhesive tape T3 is applied on the base tape, thereby fixing the lead terminals.
