  • Patent number: 9669980
    Abstract: A tape feeder is configured such that plural tape suppliers guiding plural component supply tapes to a component pick-up position are individually and detachably mounted on plural slots of the feeder body. A read component ID from a code label of a tape reel is input into a feeder management computer. The feeder management computer performs instruction display of the slot to be mounted among the plural slots to an instruction display section based on component ID. If a mounting confirmation sensor confirms the tape supplier is mounted on one of the slots, the feeder management computer determines whether or not a component in which the component ID is read is supplied from a correct slot depending on whether or not the slot in which the mounting of the tape supplier is confirmed matches the slot in which the instruction display is performed.
