Abstract
A component supply device for supplying a component mounting device with electronic components at a supply position, which includes at least three supply tables each having a plurality of supply units mounted thereon such that the supply units have respective supply portions which are spaced from each other along a predetermined line, the supply units holding respective groups of electronic components of respective different kinds, a guiding device for guiding the supply tables such that the supply tables are movable in a moving direction parallel to the predetermined line, and a table positioning device for positioning the supply tables in the moving direction so that the supply portions of the supply units are selectively brought to the supply position. The table positioning device includes a first and a second carrier which are selectively engageable with the supply tables and which are reciprocable in the moving direction without an interference with each other to move the supply tables along the guiding device, and a first and a second feeding device for moving the first and second carriers, respectively.
