A component supply device includes a first peeling gear and a second peeling gear that are provided upstream of a component supply position, catch a cover tape to peel the cover tape from a base tape, and rotate, the second peeling gear coming into contact with the first peeling gear to rotate together with the first peeling gear; a third peeling gear that comes into contact with the first peeling gear to rotate together with the first peeling gear, and together with the first peeling gear, feeds the cover tape fed out by the first peeling gear and the second peeling gear; and a guide part that guides the cover tape peeled off from the base tape by the first peeling gear and the second peeling gear to move toward between the first peeling gear and the third peeling gear.

Component supply device

Tape feeder

A component supply device supplies a component accommodated in a carrier tape including a base tape and a cover tape pasted on the base tape and having a length to a forward end thereof that is longer than that of the base tape. The component supply device includes a tape conveying part, a turning over correcting part, and a peeling part. The tape conveying part conveys the carrier tape along a conveyance path. The turning over correcting part moves the forward end of the cover tape folded to a side opposite to a side of a conveyance direction, to a position located ahead of a forward end of the base tape in the conveyance direction in the conveyance path. The peeling part captures the forward end of the cover tape, and peels off the cover tape from the base tape.

Component supply device and cover tape peeling method

The component supply device includes a body, a first carrier tape transporter, a second carrier tape transporter, and a controller. The body includes a tape transport path. The first carrier tape transporter transports a carrier tape to a component pickup position. The second carrier tape transporter transports the carrier tape to the first carrier tape transporter. The controller is configured to communicate with the component installation device and control the first carrier tape transporter and the second carrier tape transporter in one operation mode selected from a plurality of operation modes.
