A component supplier of the present disclosure includes a magazine that stores pallets, a table that is provided in front of the magazine and is provided with a standby tables in multiple tiers in an up-and-down direction, a first lift that moves the table up and down, and a pallet supplier that is provided in front of the table and that includes a supply table which holds at least one of the pallets at a component supply position where the component is supplied. The table has a first placing and withdrawing unit that places and withdraws the pallet between the magazine and the standby tables and a second lift that moves the first placing and withdrawing unit up and down. The pallet supplier has a second placing and withdrawing unit that places and withdraws the pallet between the standby tables and the supply table.

Component supplier and component supplying method

A component mounting apparatus includes a carriage that holds a part feeder for supplying a component in a state of being attached to a base and attaches the part feeder to the base in a state of being coupled to the base; a mounting head that mounts the component to a substrate after the component is taken out of the part feeder held by the carriage coupled to the base through an opening formed between the base and a cover member formed so as to cover an upward side of the base; and a shutter moved from an opened position in which the opening is opened to a closed position in which the opening is closed when the carriage is separated from the base.

Component mounting apparatus

A lower supporting pin moduleis given a shape having a contact surface. On the occasion of position recognition for determining a position of a pin on the lower supporting pin module, an image of the lower supporting pin moduleis captured, and the image is subjected to recognition processing, to thus detect an outer shape of an upper shaftB. Even when an extraneous matter on a downside surface of a substrate adheres to the contact surface, the position of the lower supporting pin modulecan be stably recognized with superior recognition precision.
