摘要:
The invention discloses that when parts are mounted on a single board in a plurality of identical patterns, parts mounting can be effieciently performed by changing the sequence of mounting the parts for each pattern in accordance with the arrangement state of the pattern, and a blank portion on the board can be minimized and hence patterning can be effectively performed by arbitrarily setting the directions of the mounting patterns to be mounted on the printed board in accordance with its form. In addition, the invention discloses that when chip parts are mounted on a board in a plurality of patterns including identical patterns and independent pattern having no correlation therewith, parts mounting can be easily and collectively performed, and when a plurality of types of parts having different shapes and sizes are mounted on a board together, a group of parts which are less subject to a positional error due to the movement speed of an X-Y table are repeatedly mounted first on the board at a high movement speed, and a group of parts which are subject to a positional error are repeatedly mounted in the same manner at a low movement speed, thereby preventing a positional error due to an inertial force upon high-speed movement of the X-Y table.

An automatic mounting apparatus mounts chip-type electronic components on a printed circuit board. A plurality of chip-type electronic components are held at nearly equal intervals in the longitudinal direction of a tape, and this tape is drawn out from a tape reel to a feedout unit accommodated in a reel cassette together with the tape reel. The chip-type components are picked up one by one in sequence from the tape at the position of the feedout unit by a vacuum chuck, being placed on a predetermined position on the printed circuit board by this vacuum chuck. In the vicinity of the end of the tape holding the chip-type electronic components, a residual quantity indicator capable of mechanical detection is formed. When this residual quantity indicator is detected, the controller drives an alarm device such as, for example, a buzzer or a light emitter to inform that the chip-type electronic components on the tape will soon run out. Accordingly, the operator can prepare another new reel cassette before the chip-type electronic components on the tape run out.
