Abstract
A part mounting apparatus and a part mounting method are capable of accurately mounting a plurality of film electronic parts of different types respectively having different sizes on a glass substrate. When carrying a small film electronic part having a small width by a vacuum holding mechanism ( ), a cylinder actuator ( ) mounted on a support plate ( ) is retracted to retract a drive cam ( ). Thus a movable vacuum holding block ( ) is raised by springs ( ) to hold the film electronic part ( ) only by a fixed vacuum holding block ( ). When carrying a large film electronic part having a big width by the vacuum holding mechanism ( ), the cylinder actuator ( ) is stretched out to advance the drive cam ( ) to its working position. Consequently, the movable vacuum block ( ) is depressed through a roller ( ) by the drive cam ( ), and both the fixed vacuum holding block ( ) and the movable vacuum holding block ( ) are used for holding the film electronic part ( ) by suction.
