Abstract
In an apparatus for mounting electronic parts onto a printed board, each of suction heads mounted on a peripheral portion of an intermittently rotatable index table attracts by suction a corresponding one of the electronic parts at a part attracting position. With rotation of the index table, the suction head holding the attracted electronic part is transferred to a part mounting position, where the electronic part is mounted onto the printed board. At least two positioners are arranged along the path of the transferred suction head for adjusting the part attracted on the suction head to its correct position and direction. The positioners are arranged respectively on both sides divided by a line extending from the attracting position to the mounting position. The positioners adjust respective kinds of electronic parts which are different from each other in configuration and size. A rotational direction of the index table is selected according to the kind of the attracted electronic part so that the part can be adjusted by the positioner on the side of the selected direction.
