Abstract
A component supply device includes a transport path that guides a component connected body from a component insertion port on an upstream side in a component feeding direction to a component supply position on a downstream side, the component connected body including a plurality of axial components arranged and connected at a predetermined pitch, the plurality of axial components each having a lead, and a feed mechanism that pitch-feeds the component connected body along the transport path to the downstream side. The feed mechanism includes a feed member which has a plurality of feed hooks disposed at the predetermined pitch along the component feeding direction, a rotating shaft which is connected to one end side of the feed member, and a moving mechanism which is connected to the feed member through the rotating shaft and reciprocates the rotating shaft along the component feeding direction. A length of one feed hook among the plurality of feed hooks is longer than a length of an other feed hook among the plurality of feed hooks, the other feed hook being adjacent to the one feed hook on the rotating shaft side.
