A chip feeder for feeding chips stored in bulk in a case thereof, one by one, from a chip-supply portion thereof, the chip feeder including a partition plate which parts an inner space of the case into a plurality of rooms, the partition plate having an opening which extends in a direction intersecting a horizontal plane and which communicates the respective rooms on both sides of the partition plate, with each other, a movable partition member which extends across the opening of the partition plate and which is movable relative to the opening in the direction intersecting the horizontal plane, and a movable-partition-member control device which controls the movable partition member so that a lower portion of the movable partition member sinks in an upper portion of a mass of the chips stored in bulk in the case and an upper portion of the movable partition member projects upward from the mass of the chips.

Chip feeder and chip feeding system

An adhesive dispenser for iteratively dispensing a controlled amount of an adhesive from a reservoir, by iteratively applying a pressure to the adhesive stored in the reservoir such that the controlled amount of adhesive is released from a nozzle connected to the reservoir via a supply passage and is applied to an object, the adhesive dispenser including at least one of an adhesive-temperature control device which controls a temperature of the adhesive present in the supply passage, by supplying a fluid to a first space at least partly surrounding at least a portion of the supply passage, and a pressure control device which is switchable to at least a pressing state thereof in which the pressure control device supplies a pressurized gas to a second space above the adhesive stored in the reservoir and a sucking state thereof in which the pressure control device sucks the gas from the second space.
