An improved apparatus for automatically mounting electronic components includes a take-out nozzle which is rotated by a nozzle rotating unit based on data on an angular position assumed by each chip-shaped electronic component firmly held on the take-out nozzle, in order to perform a correcting operation so as to allow the electronic component to assume an adequate angular position and, after completion of the correction operation, the respective electronic components are mounted on a printed-circuit board. The apparatus includes a storing unit in which an allowable error range is stored, a comparing unit for determining whether or not the present angular positions assumed by the respective electronic components and recognized by a recognized unit remain within the allowable error range, and a controlling unit for controlling the nozzle rotating unit so as to allow a correcting operation to be repeatedly performed based on results derived from the determination made by the comparing unit, until the respective recognized angular positions remain within the allowable error range.

Apparatus for automatically mounting electronic components

An electronic parts automatic mounting apparatus wherein a plurality of removing nozzles are disposed on a removing head portion, and a tipped electronic part held on the suitable removing nozzle is recognized by a recognizing means to correct a deviation in position thereof, whereby mounting accuracy of the part on a print substrate is enhanced and the recognition of the tipped electronic part held by the removing nozzle by the recognizing means can be positively carried out.
