Abstract: A storage device includes: a storage member having, in the vertical direction, a plurality of parallel storage sections that are capable of storing plate-like members; and a first lifting and lowering mechanism that causes the plate-like members, stored in the storage member, to move integrally in the vertical direction, while the position of the storage member in the vertical direction is maintained.

Abstract: A parts feeding device includes a magazine for housing pallets, a parts feeding table capable of supporting a plurality of pallets in a state where a tray mounted on a topmost pallet is positioned within a movable range of a parts retrieving head and in a state where an upside of the tray is open, and a relay device which inserts and removes the pallets into and from the magazine and the parts feeding table.

Abstract: A surface mounting apparatus includes a conveyer supporting a printed wiring board being moved in a transportation direction, and a board transfer device that lowers a pair of tab members to positions spaced apart upstream and downstream of the printed wiring board and moves the tab members in the transportation direction. The board transfer device includes an interval changing device to change an interval between a pair of the tab members and a sensor to detect the position of the printed wiring board, an interference determination means to determine the absence or presence of the printed wiring board at the positions to which both the tab members are to be lowered according to the position of the printed wiring board detected by the sensor and interval setting means to move the tab members by driving the interval changing device according to a detection result of the interference determination means.

Abstract: [Problems] To provide a surface mounting apparatus in which abutting members will not abut on a printed wiring board when the abutting members are lowered. [Means for Solving the Problems] A surface mounting apparatus includes a conveyer 34 or 53 that support a printed wiring board 2 movably in a transportation direction, and a board transfer device 14 that lowers a pair of tab members 71 and 71 to positions spaced apart upstream and downstream of the printed wiring board 2 in the transportation direction and moves the tab members 71 in the transportation direction. The board transfer device 14 includes an interval changing device that changes an interval between a pair of the tab members 71 and 71 and a sensor that detects the position of the printed wiring board 2 on the conveyer.
