Abstract
In a component mounting machine including a tape feeder removing a top tape from a carrier tape of a component supply tape so as to expose a component on the carrier tape so that the component is sucked by a suction nozzle; and a waste tape collection box collecting the top tape removed from the carrier tape, a top-tape drawing member for catching and drawing out the top tape is drawably provided at a place where the top tape removed from the carrier tape is hanging down from the tape feeder into the waste tape collection box (for example, a top opening portion of the waste tape collection box).
Claims2
A component mounting machine comprising:
- a tape feeder feeding a component supply tape made by attaching a top tape removably to a carrier tape containing many components at predetermined pitches to a component suction position, and removing the top tape from the carrier tape before the component suction position to expose each component on the carrier tape so that the component is sucked by a suction nozzle of the component mounting machine at the component suction position;
- a waste tape collection box collecting the top tape removed from the carrier tape;
- and
- a top-tape drawing member for catching and drawing out the top tape, the top-tape drawing member being drawably provided at a place where the top tape removed from the carrier tape is hanging down from the tape feeder into the waste tape collection box.
