Abstract: The present invention consists in that printed patterns on a printed circuit board and component information near the printed patterns are photographed, that the type of an electronic component to be mounted and the mounting position and mounting attitude of the electronic component are recognized from the photographed image, and that the predetermined electronic component is mounted on the predetermined position of the printed circuit board at the predetermined attitude on the basis of the above information items. Further, a program for the mounting order of all the electronic components to be mounted on the printed circuit board is generated on the basis of the image processing information items.

Abstract: In an electronic chip supplying apparatus, a vacuum suction device for sucking a retainer tape which encases electronic chips is provided in a retainer tape support member provided at an opening position where the electronic chips are picked up from a chip pickup device, or a tension applying device for the retainer is provided. Thus, vertical fluctuation of the retainer tape is prevented at the opening position.

Abstract: In an electronic component mounting apparatus comprises a component feeding section including a feeding table unit loaded with several types of electronic components which feeding table unit is adapted to laterally reciprocate on a base, and stopping at a predetermined position thereby to feed the components continuously to a transfer mechanism, the transfer mechanism for absorbing the electronic components and mounting them on a board on an X-Y table on the other side, the X-Y table fixing and stopping the board to a predetermined position, and a board transport section for transporting the board onto the X-Y table for delivering the board having the electronic components mounted thereon, a component feeding apparatus wherein the component feeding table unit of the component feeding section is divided into a plurality of feeding tables each adapted to be moved individually on a straight line by a drive mechanism, the apparatus further comprising means for moving the table to a predetermined position in oppos
