Abstract
A tape feeder pulls out a component supply tape including a cover tape adhered on a carrier tape accommodating multiple components from a reel, feeds the component supply tape to a predetermined supply position, and separates the cover tape from the carrier tape in front of the supply position to expose a component on the carrier tape. The tape feeder includes a pair of rotating members configured to separate the cover tape from the carrier tape by pinching and drawing the cover tape; a drum member configured to rotate and wind the cover tape drawn by the pair of rotating members; and a torque limiter provided in a rotary shaft of the drum member.
