Abstract: An electronic component selection and supply apparatus for use in an automatic electronic component inserting machine for automatically inserting electronic components of irregular shapes which are unsuitable for taping, such as electrolytic capacitors, power transistors and variable resistors, into a printed circuit board includes selection and supply apparatus for selecting an electronic component at a first position and supplying the selected component to a second position, the apparatus including electronic component sequence apparatus for selecting a predetermined electronic component which includes a device for vertically holding a plurality of electronic component magazines accommodating the electronic components at predetermined positions in a stacked state, and chuck apparatus for receiving the predetermined electronic component selected by the electronic component sequence apparatus and for supplying the electronic component to the second position.

Abstract: Apparatus for mounting chip type circuit elements on printed circuit boards in one-by-one fashion with increased speed and precision includes a supply unit adapted to supply chip type circuit elements, a plurality of pallets conveyed in an intermittent fashion, a first shifting member adapted to shift the chip type circuit elements from the supply unit onto the pallet, an X-Y table adapted to support a printed circuit board, a mounting mechanism having mounting heads associated therewith for mounting the chip type circuit elements on the printed circuit board supported by the X-Y table and a second shifting member adapted to shift the chip type circuit elements from the pallet to the mounting heads where they are received and positively gripped for subsequent mounting onto the printed circuit board.

Abstract: Apparatus for mounting chip type circuit elements on a printed circuit board include a supply unit for supplying chip type circuit elements, a plurality of pallets adapted to be conveyed intermittently in a longitudinal direction, a sequence head adapted to shift the circuit elements onto the pallets, an X-Y table adapted to receive and support a printed circuit board, a mounting mechanism having mounting heads adapted to mount the chip type circuit elements on the printed circuit board carried by the X-Y table, and a shifting head for shifting the chip type circuit elements from the pallets to the mounting head of the mounting mechanism. The mounting mechanism constitutes a rotatably indexing disc on which a plurality of mounting heads are radially situated, the sequence heads, shifting head and mounting heads each utilizing suction pins to which the chip type circuit elements are fixed during their movement from the supply unit to the printed circuit board.
