Abstract
In a chip reversing method for holding and vertically reversing a chip placed by a bonding nozzle, the chip is held on a chip holding unit disposed in a reversing member and is vertically reversed by turning the reversing member downward on an reversal shaft. After the reversed chip was received by a chip receiving unit, this chip receiving unit is lowered to a retracted position to return the reversing member to an original position. In this state, the chip receiving unit is raised to position the chip at a height level L for a chip transferring action. As a result, the reversing member does not protrude to above the height level for the chip transfer thereby to interfere with another mechanism, so that the chip mounting actions can be made efficient.
