Abstract: A method of manufacturing electronic parts which is constituted by the steps of moving a pair of elongated terminal wire carrying strips each carrying a row of terminal wires thereon in a longitudinal direction parallel to each other, mechanically securing a circuit board to the terminal wire carrying strips so as to transfer the board by the movement of the terminal wire carrying strips, mounting chip parts on the board and soldering them and simultaneously soldering the terminal wires on the strips onto the circuit board during the transfer, and cutting the terminal wire carrying strips off the board.

Abstract: An industrial robot having a plurality of units each consisting of a unit body provided with a movable block having a mounting surface, a side placed parallel to this movable block, exposing only small parts of its mounting surface, a mounting bottom extending perpendicular to this side and a guide which supports the aforementioned movable block in such a way that it is movable parallel to the mounting surface and in a straight line in a definite range, a driving device on the unit body to drive the movable block, and a control device for controlling this driving device, the plurality of units being coupled in such a way that the straight line moving directions of the movable blocks of each two coupled units are at a right angle.
