Abstract
An electronic component transferring apparatus for transferring electronic components, including at least one movable member, a movable-member moving device which moves the movable member, a rotary head which is supported by the movable member such that the rotary head is rotatable about an axis line thereof, a plurality of component holders which are supported by the rotary head such that the component holders are provided along a circle whose center is positioned on the axis line of the rotary head, a drive source which is supported by the movable member and which provides a motion, and a motion transmitting device which is selectively operable in a component-holder selecting state in which the motion transmitting device transmits the motion of the drive source to the rotary head, to rotate the rotary head about the axis line thereof and thereby position one of the component holders at an operating position in which the one component holder holds one of the electronic components, and in a component-holder rotating state in which the motion transmitting device transmits the motion of the drive source to at least the one component holder being positioned at the operating position, to rotate the one component holder about an axis line thereof.
