Abstract In an apparatus for mounting electronic parts onto a printed board, each of suction heads mounted on a peripheral portion of an intermittently rotatable index table attracts by suction a corresponding one of the electronic parts at a part attracting position. With rotation of the index table, the suction head holding the attracted electronic part is transferred to a part mounting position, where the electronic part is mounted onto the printed board. At least two positioners are arranged along the path of the transferred suction head for adjusting the part attracted on the suction head to its correct position and direction. The positioners are arranged respectively on both sides divided by a line extending from the attracting position to the mounting position. The positioners adjust respective kinds of electronic parts which are different from each other in configuration and size. A rotational direction of the index table is selected according to the kind of the attracted electronic part so that the part can be adjusted by the positioner on the side of the selected direction.
An apparatus for mounting electronic parts to a printed board, comprising: an index table rotating intermittently in either of a first direction and a second direction opposite to the first direction; a plurality of suction heads for attracting and transferring the electronic parts, which are mounted on a peripheral portion of the index table, each of which attracts and holds an electronic part at a part attracting position, and transfers the attracted electronic part to a part mounting position with rotation of the index table and then mounts the electronic part onto the printed board; and at least two adjusting means the adjusting means adjusting the attracted electronic part on the suction head to its correct position and direction in the course of transferring the attracted part from the part attracting position to the part mounting position, the plurality of the adjusting means adjusting respective kinds of electronic parts which are largely different from each other in configuration and size, and wherein, both sides in the apparatus divided by a line extending from the part attracting position to the part mounting position, have the respective adjusting means, and a rotational direction of the index table is selected according to the kind of the attracted electronic part so that the part can be adjusted by the adjusting means on the side of the selected direction.
