Abstract
An apparatus for measuring a component that can carry out processes such as visual inspection, characteristic measurement, screening, and taping efficiently while transporting the electronic component at high speed. In order to transport the electronic components to the index table where the processes such as characteristic measurement, screening, and taping is carried out, a component transporting device is used in which the electronic component delivered from the component delivery section is transported to the component intake port based on negative pressure, transported with the airflow through the transportation path and discharged from the part discharging port The transporting device includes a gas discharging port in the vicinity of the component discharging port, which serves to decrease the transport speed of the electronic component before transporting it to the index table.
