Electronic parts mounting apparatus having memory equipped parts supply device

An electronic parts mounting apparatus comprising:

• a plurality of detachable parts supply devices each for holding a respective plurality of electronic parts, each said parts supply device having fixed thereto a respective one of a plurality of first storing means for storing data indicative of the plurality of electronic parts held therein;
• and means for moving each of said parts supply devices to a predetermined parts take-out position;
• a substrate positioning means for positioning a substrate, on which at least one of the plurality of electronic parts is to be mounted, at a predetermined substrate position;
• a substrate supply means for supplying the substrate to the substrate positioning means;
• a substrate discharge means for discharging the substrate from the substrate positioning means;
• a reading means for reading the data stored in the first storing means fixed to each parts supply device when each parts supply device moves relative to the reading means to the predetermined parts take-out position;
• and
• a mounting means for extracting an electronic part from each parts supply device positioned at the predetermined parts take-out position and for mounting the extracted electronic part on the substrate positioned at the predetermined substrate position by the substrate positioning means.
