Abstract
The present invention relates to a surface mounting apparatus installed with a tray feeder in which a mounter is, at its one side, installed with a tape reel feeder and is, at its other side, installed with a tray feeder so that various semiconductor device can be, easily and rapidly, supplied.
Claims17
A surface mounting apparatus, comprising:
- a surface mounting unit having an X-Y-Z range of motion for positioning components on a PCB;
- a tape feeder unit for supplying components to be mounted onto a PCB on at least one tape reel;
- a tray feeder unit for supplying components to be mounted onto a PCB in a plurality of component trays, wherein the tray feeder unit is configured to hold component trays at a plurality of different component pick-up positions, and wherein the tray feeder unit includes at least one elevator plate configured to raise and lower a component tray located at one of the plurality of pick-up positions;
- and
- a tray transfer device configured to move individual component trays between the plurality of different component pick-up positions, whereby the surface mounting unit picks up components from the at least one tape reel and the component tray and positions the components on a PCB.
