Label feeder for hybrid irregular component insertion robot

A label feeder for a hybrid irregular component insertion robot, the label feeder comprising:

• a label printer configured to print a label to be attached to a printed circuit board or an electronic component to a hybrid irregular component insertion robot, and to enable the printed label to be published;
• and
• a label supply unit configured to take over the label being published from the label printer and supply the label to the hybrid irregular component insertion robot,
• wherein the label printer is configured to be installed on the hybrid irregular component insertion robot,
• wherein the label printer further comprises a label publishing sensor, the label publishing sensor configured to enable the label printer to publish the label in conjunction with an operation of the label supply unit,
• wherein the label publishing sensor detects whether the label is present on an upper surface of a label saddle of the label supply unit when the label saddle of the label supply unit is moved to a label publishing position provided on a lower side of a label publishing opening,
• wherein, when the label is not detected on the upper surface of the label saddle by the label publishing sensor, the label printer publishes a new label and settles the label on the upper surface of the label saddle, and
• wherein, when a sensor interruption cylinder of the label supply unit blocks an area between the label publishing sensor and the label saddle, the label publishing sensor determines that the label is settled on the upper surface of the label saddle, and the label printer stops publishing the label.
