Abstract
An electronic component mounting apparatus includes a feeding device for feeding a to-be-placed element including an electronic component, an anisotropic conductive film, or a paste, a holding device for holding the fed element, an element moving device for supporting and moving the holding device in a first direction and placing the element held by the holding device on a circuit board, and a board moving device for holding and moving the circuit board in a second direction generally at right angles to the first direction where the element moving device is moved.
Claims9
An electronic component mounting apparatus comprising:
- an uniaxial robot extending along a first direction said robot operating uniaxially along said first direction;
- a first feeding device, arranged on only one side of said uniaxial robot, for feeding a to-be-placed element including an electronic component, an anisotropic conductive film, or a paste;
- a plurality of independently movable component carrier heads supported on said uniaxial robot, wherein each of said independently movable component carrier heads is mounted on the one side of said uniaxial robot for holding the to-be-placed element from said first feeding device, and said component carrier heads are independently movable in said first direction by said uniaxial robot in order to place the element held by one of said component carrier heads on a circuit board;
- and
- a board moving device for holding and moving a circuit board along a second direction which is generally at a right angle to said first direction.
