An electronic parts automatic mounting apparatus is disclosed in which a plurality of suction nozzles are provided on the peripheral edge of an intermittently rotating turntable. Electronic parts are delivered to the turntable from a part supply portion, with the parts suctioned and held by the suction nozzles. The electronic parts are then transferred, positioned and mounted on a print substrate placed on an X-Y table. The apparatus is provided with part adjustment means for subjecting the electronic parts suctioned and held by the suction nozzle to various stepwise adjustments at a plurality of working stations provided during the part transfer. The part adjusting means comprise a plurality of positioning working units for positioning electronic parts arranged in correspondence to one part positioning station of the working units, each of the positioning working units being selectively actuated according to the size and shape of the electronic parts. Thus, the positioning of the electronic parts prior to mounting on the print substrate can be carried out with high accuracy, eliminating the necessity for replacing the apparatus according to the size and shape of the tipped parts.
An electronic parts automatic mounting apparatus having a plurality of suction nozzles provided on the peripheral edge of an intermittently rotating turntable, the electronic parts being delivered from a parts supply portion, said parts suctioned and held by said suction nozzles, said electronic parts being transferred, positioned and mounted on a print substrate placed on an X-Y table by the intermittent rotation of said turntable, said apparatus being provided with part adjusting means for subjecting the electronic parts suctioned and held by said suction nozzles, to various stepwise adjusting means at a plurality of working stations through which the suctioned parts pass during transfer of the part to the print substrate, at least one of said part adjusting means comprising a base disposed adjacent the working stations, a plurality of positioning working units arranged in succession on said base, said working units being slidably movable in an arrangement direction, a plurality of positioning pawls disposed on each positioning working unit and having different sizes and shapes, and, moving means for reciprocating said plurality of positioning working units in their arrangement direction;
