Abstract
A transmission mechanism includes a pressing stroke controller for changing the effective pressing stroke of each feed lever of a component feeder unit corresponding to a predetermined pitch of carrying electronic components in respective component feeder unit, whereby the vibration generated when the transmission mechanism is in operation is reduced. Adverse effects on a component feeder unit having small components thereon at a fine pitch which is susceptible to the vibration will be prevented, and the feeding speed can be increased to be more productive.
