Abstract
The invention provides a component supply device which is small and can supply electronic components efficiently. The component supply devicemounts a component supply tape T and exposes the electronic components out of the component supply tape T to provide to a component installation devicewhich mounts the electronic components on a circuit board. The component supply devicehas a replenishment devicewhich replenishes a new component supply tape (Tb) when a preceding component supply tape Ta runs out, and a sensor S which detects the run-out of the preceding component supply tape Ta. The replenishment devicehas a reel holding sectionon which reelswound with the component supply tape T are inserted, and a standby sectionof the component supply tape T. When the sensor S detects that the preceding component supply tape Ta runs out and issues a detection signal, the component supply tape T is moved from the standby section to be replenished.
