Abstract
An apparatus for automatically mounting chip-type circuit elements on a substrate for a printed circuit board is disclosed which is capable of overcoming the problem of suction failure and wrong posture of a circuit element to efficiently carry out the mounting operation of the elements on a substrate. The automatic mounting apparatus includes a detecting device for detecting a defect such as a failure in suction of a circuit element by a mounting head and/or the wrong posture of a circuit element sucked up and a rotating disk controllably actuated to allow a mounting head other than that relating to the defect to suck up a circuit element of the same kind from tape feeders and mount it on the substrate after the detecting device detects the defect.
