Abstract
An electronic-component ('EC') removing system including a supplying device which feeds an EC carrier tape in a feeding direction parallel to a length-wise direction of an adhesive tape of the carrier tape, a thrusting device including a thrust member and a first actuator which moves the thrust member between a thrusted and a retracted position through an opening of the adhesive tape in a thrusting direction perpendicular to the feeding direction, and a receiving device including a holder which holds each of ECs adhered to the adhesive tape, a movable member which supports the holder such that the holder is movable relative thereto, and a second actuator which moves the movable member between an EC removing position in which the holder is opposed via each EC to the thrust member and, when the thrust member is moved to the thrusted position through the opening of the adhesive tape to thrust each EC toward the holder, the holder is moved with each EC relative to the movable member in the thrusting direction to remove each EC from the adhesive tape, and a different position thereof away from the EC removing position.
