PURPOSE:To contrive to reduce the manhour of a component mounting work by a method wherein an electronic component mounting work region is partitioned into 3 areas along a substrate transfer direction, mounting work heads are respectively arranged at the areas only at both ends of the 3 areas and the central area is used as a standby area. CONSTITUTION:A working region is partitioned into 3 pieces of areas W1 to W3 along a substrate transfer direction and the individual areas W1 and W3 at both ends excluding the central area W2 among 3 pieces of the areas W1 to W3 are provided with each substrate supporting means U for supporting a transferred substrate in such a way as to freely move vertically between a transfer path Sb and a mounting work position Pp. In this case, while a mounting of an electronic component is executed at one side of two places of the work stations W1 and W3, a continuous mounting preparation operation for stopping, pushing up and positioning the printed board Pb is executed at the other work station. Thereby, a wasteful time for making mounting work heads stand by until a mounting preparation operation is completed can be dissolved and it becomes possible to reduce an electronic component mounting time. |
