  • Apparatus for mounting electronic components
    Patent number: 6094808
    Abstract: An electronic component mounting apparatus for sucking up an electronic component and placing it onto a board with a suction nozzle, includes a step of switching over air pressure switching timings for the suction nozzle when the component is sucked with the suction nozzle and when the sucked component is mounted on the board. The air pressure switching timings are switched according to a velocity of up and down movement of the suction nozzle and independently for each of when the component is sucked with the suction nozzle and when the sucked component is mounted on the board.
