<p>A parts feeding apparatus includes a parts feeding table (9, 10) detachably supporting parts cassettes (24). A working area (16) wherein a rail is laid and a standby area (17, 18) are arranged in parallel with each other. A box or frame constituting a table positioning unit (11) is movably supported on the rail. In feeding parts, the table is loaded on the box by a table transport unit (12, 13) provided between the working area and the standby area, and the box is moved on the rail, whereby the table is positioned such that the parts cassette can be brought at a parts taking-out position (7). The table transport unit unloads the table being laid on the box and transports the table thus unloaded to the standby area, and transports the table from the standby area to a charge station or transports the table from the charge station to the standby area.</p> |
