Disclosed herein is an apparatus for manufacturing a camera module, the apparatus including: a base jig holding a PCB from below; a bonding head picking up an image sensor and attaching the image sensor onto the PCB; and a housing bonding tool picking up a housing assembly and attaching the housing assembly onto the PCB so that the image sensor attached onto the PCB is received in the housing assembly, wherein the base jig is constituted in a structure where the base jig is tension-movable in a vertical direction (Z-axial direction), so that an upper surface of the PCB is an identical reference plane for attaching the image sensor and the housing assembly when the image sensor is picked up by the bonding head and attached onto the PCB.

Apparatus for manufacturing camera module

An apparatus and a method for manufacturing a camera module. The method for manufacturing a camera module includes: picking up an image sensor by the bonding head and mounting the image sensor on a PCB; compensating for a tilt deviation between the PCB and the image sensor by the gyro unit of the PCB support unit simultaneously when the image sensor is mounted on the PCB; applying heat by the heating unit of the bonding head to cure an adhesive applied between the image sensor and the PCB; and after the image sensor is mounted and the adhesive is cured, picking up a lens housing module by a lens housing module pickup unit and mounting the lens housing module on the PCB and attaching contact portions of the PCB to the lens housing module to complete the manufacture of a camera module.
