  • Patent number: 6435808
    Abstract: A chip mounting apparatus capable of permitting a chip mounting operation to be executed at an increased speed and ensuring continuous running of the apparatus over a long period of time. The apparatus includes a chip observing camera mounted on the side of a chip mounting head, a lighting unit mounted on the side of the chip mounting head to light a background of a chip hold on a chip suction nozzle of the head, a reflection unit mounted on the side of the chip mounting head to input an image of the chip to the chip observing camera, feeder and stocker sections each adapted to replaceably held a chip storage package therein, and a package replacement mechanism for carrying out replacement of the chip storage package between both sections.

  • Patent number: 5319846
    Abstract: An electronic component feed system capable of feeding an electronic component mounting apparatus with a variety of electronic components such as chips, lead-type electronic components and the like in various forms. A plurality of feeder modules corresponding to sorts of electronic components to be mounted on printed circuit boards are stored in a storage kit and transferred through the storage kit to an electronic component feed section of the mounting apparatus on which a printed circuit board is held. Then, the electronic components are mounted on the printed circuit board by means of a mounting head.
