A suction nozzle () has an outer nozzle member (), a nozzle body (), and an urging member () for urging the nozzle body () in a direction away from the outer nozzle member (). The suction nozzle () also has a spring accommodation chamber () defined by at least a wall surface of a nozzle body accommodation bore () and a proximal end face () of the nozzle body (). The spring accommodation chamber () is shut off from first and second suction passages () and communicates with atmosphere. The urging member () is housed in the spring accommodation chamber ().

Method of mounting component on circuit formation object

A calibration jig for a component recognition device and a component recognition calibration method using the jig which can stabilize the mounting accuracy of a component to a to-be-mounted object and improve amount quality. An opening is formed at a to-be-picked up face of the calibration jig. A predetermined position of the calibration jig is recognized on the basis of the contrast between the picked-up face and the opening. The position of the calibration jig can be recognized with higher accuracy, so that a resolution of the component recognition device, etc. can be obtained with a higher degree of accuracy. Mount accuracy of the component to the object is thus stabilized and mount quality is improved.

Suction nozzle for holding component by suction

A component installing device comprises: a tray component supply section ( ) having a plurality of conjointly provided tray component supply mechanisms ( ) for moving selected trays ( ) from a storage position ( ) to a component supply position ( ), according to need, thereby providing the components ( ) accommodated therein for use; and a cassette component supply section ( ) having a plurality of mutually aligned component supply cassettes ( ) for carrying components in a tape cassette or a bulk cassette, and transporting said components to a component supply position ( ), one at a time, thereby providing said components for use. Components ( ) accommodated in the respective trays ( ) located at the component supply positions ( ) of the respective tray component supply mechanisms ( ) in the tray component supply section ( ), and components ( ) transported to the component supply positions ( ) of the respective component supply cassettes ( ) in the cassette component supply section ( ), are variously handled and installed at prescribed positions on a circuit board ( ) by means of an installing head ( ).

Part mounting apparatus and part supply apparatus

A slide-type solvent transfer unit is used, and a plurality of nozzles at a head part which suck and hold components are moved down simultaneously to transfer flux to electronic components. In comparison with an electronic component mounting method including a transfer operation whereby nozzles are lowered one by one by a conventional electronic component mounting apparatus equipped with a rotary type solvent transfer unit, the time required for moving the nozzles up and down is shortened and a total cycle time is reduced, so that production efficiency is improved.
