A part feeding device capable of preventing the adhesive surface of a top tape from being exposed even if a pleat line is displaced and easily and collectively removing the top tape collected by winding on a reel body and a part feeding method, the device comprising a top tape transfer part () having raising rollers () raising the top tape () a specified amount by generally 90&#xb0; with the adhesive surfaces thereof at both ends facing inside, a folding rollers () folding the raised top tape by falling on the unraised top tape, and a tape delivery part () feeding the folded top tape at a specified pitch, wherein the reel body collecting the peeled top tape can collectively push out the group of the wound top tape in the axial direction.

Part feeding device and part feeding method

A component feeding apparatus for pitch-feeding taping components ( ) to a component feed position ( ), peeling a cover tape ( ) short of the component feed position ( ) and taking out and feeding a component ( ) from an accommodation portion ( ) at the component feed position ( ), wherein the component is supplied stably in an appropriate posture to the component feed position ( ). A slit ( ) is formed in a shutter ( ) capable of moving between a position at which the upper surface of the taping component ( ) is covered and a position at which the component feed position is opened so that a cover tape ( ) peeled from the taping component ( ) can be passed through the slit ( ) and can be pulled up, and the peeling step of the cover tape ( ) and the pitch-feeding step of the taping component ( ) can be separated from each other to prevent the component ( ) from greatly moving and assuming an irregular posture inside the accommodation portion ( ).
