Method for inspecting a film carrier tape for mounting electronic components

A method for inspecting a film carrier tape for mounting electronic components in which a plurality of electronic component mounting portions is provided in multiple strips in a transverse direction, comprising the steps of:

• unwinding, from an unwinding device, the film carrier tape for mounting electronic components in multiple strips in which the individual film carrier tapes for mounting electronic components previously cut into strips are wound upon an unwinding reel, respectively;
• simultaneously inspecting the film carrier tapes for mounting electronic components, which are cut into strips, in an inspecting section while causing them to run in parallel with each other;
• and
• simultaneously taking up the film carrier tapes for mounting electronic components, which are cut into strips, which are inspected in the inspecting section, upon a plurality of take-up reels attached to separate take-up shafts of a take-up device in parallel, respectively.

• cutting the film carrier tapes for mounting electronic components in multiple strips, which are unwound from the unwinding device, into individual film carrier tapes for mounting electronic components in strips by a slit device;
• causing the film carrier tapes for mounting electronic components, which are cut into strips by the slit device, to run in parallel with each other and simultaneously inspecting them in an inspecting section;
• and
• simultaneously taking up the film carrier tapes for mounting electronic components cut into strips which are inspected in the inspecting section, upon a plurality of take-up reels attached to an identical take-up shaft of a take-up device in parallel, respectively.
