Abstract: An object of the present invention is to easily, quickly and precisely measure an insulation resistance of an capacitor. An insulation resistance measurement apparatus of the present invention includes a variable/constant-voltage power source, voltmeter, intermittent circuit and constant-current supply circuit, constant-current sink circuit, test capacitor, current amplifier, and A/D converter and calculation processor. The intermittent circuit and constant-current supply circuit intermittently output a current based on a voltage supplied from variable/constant-voltage power source. When a constant voltage is intermittently applied to the test capacitor, the current flowing through the test capacitor is amplified by the current amplifier, and subsequently inputted to the A/D converter and calculation processor.

Abstract: An object of the present invention is to enable the orientations of chip components accommodated in groove portions of an index table to be assuredly uniformized. When a polarity judgment device finds that the orientation of the chip component accommodated in the groove portion of the index table is opposite, the polarity inversion apparatus according to the present invention moves the chip component to the component accommodating inversion portion by using compressed air and the intake air from air inlet/outlet ports. Since the bottom surface of the inlet of the inversion portion is set so as to be lower than the base surface under the index table and the width of the inlet of the inversion portion is set so as to be wider than the width of the groove portion, the chip component can move to the inversion portion without getting stuck in the vicinity of the boundary.

Abstract: An electrode forming apparatus for electric parts has a tape and a driving mechanism. The tape has holding holes for holding board-shaped electric parts therein at regular intervals and feeding holes for feeding the tape at regular intervals. The driving mechanism can feed the tape by engaging with the feeding holes of the tape. A pasting unit applies electric conductive paste to the electric parts held by the holding holes of the tape fed by the driving mechanism, in order to form a electrode. Each of the holding holes has a pair of abutting edges for abutting on both opposite surfaces of the board-shaped electric parts and at least one cutout portion formed from the butting edges. Due to the above constitution, the board-shaped electric parts can be held and conveyed by the abutting edges of the holding hole.

Abstract: The present invention prevents from occurring a measurement error of electrical capacitance based on variance of a voltage applied to capacitors. An apparatus of measuring capacitance has a power supply for applying a voltage to capacitors, a voltmeter of measuring the voltage applied to the capacitors W, and an amperemeter of measuring a current flowing through the capacitors. A capacitance measuring part is connected to the voltmeter and the amperemeter, and measures electrical capacitance and electrical positive electrode of the capacitors based on the voltage and the current applied to the capacitor. A determining part determines whether or not the voltage deflects from the voltage between upper-limit and lower-limit values. When the determining part determines that the voltage changes, the warning part performs warning.
