A plurality of tape feeders are held by a feeder holding device in a state in which component supply portions of the respective tape feeders are arranged in a plurality of rows each extending along a plurality of straight lines parallel to each other in one plane. Each of the plurality of tape feeders is separable into first portions and second portions, the first portions include: a reel holding portion configured to hold a reel on which a taped component is wound; the component supply portion; a taped-component guide portion configured to guide, to the component supply portion, the taped component drawn from the reel, the second portions respectively including taped-component feeding devices each for feeding the taped component to the component supply portion.

Electri-component holding apparatus

A method of detecting a position of a rotation axis of a suction nozzle of an electric-component mounting apparatus, the suction nozzle holding, by suction, an electric component, and being rotated about the rotation axis thereof to rotate the electric component held thereby, so that the electric component rotated is mounted on a component-mounting surface of a circuit substrate, the method including the step of detecting, on a position-detecting plane including the component-mounting surface of the circuit substrate, the position of the rotation axis of the suction nozzle.

An electronic-component feeder including a component conveying device which conveys an electronic component to a component-take aperture where an end surface of the component is engaged with a positioning surface of a stopper member and accordingly the component is positioned in a component-convey direction. Then, a pressing-member driving device is operated to drive a pressing member so that a side surface of an end portion of the pressing member presses a side surface of the component against a positioning surface of a cover member fixed to a main frame of the feeder, thereby positioning the component also in a lateral direction perpendicular to the component-convey direction. Since the electronic component is supplied in the state in which the component is positioned in each of the component-convey direction and the lateral direction, a component holding head can suck and hold the component with increased reliability.
