Electronic component mounting method

Abstract

When a connected position detecting unit detects that a connected position of a tape reaches a predetermined position in the tape passage, head-feeding of an electronic component provided in a head of the connected new tape is provided. In the head-feeding, a tape feeder feeds the tape such that the electronic component in the head of the new tape is located in a component pickup port. When the connected position detecting unit detects that the connected position of the tape reaches the predetermined position in the tape passage, a mounting head picks up the electronic component from the new tape fed by the head feeding control unit and is mounted on a new board positioned by a board conveying path.

The invention claimed is:  
     
       1. An electronic component mounting method by an electronic component mounting device that comprises: a board conveying path which conveys and positions a board for mounting an electronic component thereon; a tape feeder which feeds pitch by pitch a tape which stores the electronic component is to be mounted on the board so as to supply one by one the electronic component to a component pickup port; a mounting head which picks up the electronic component supplied by the tape feeder to mount the electronic component on the board positioned by the board conveying path; a tape passage serving as a passage of the tape fed pitch by pitch by the tape feeder; and a connected position detecting unit which detects that a connected position where a new tape is connected to the tape provided in the tape feeder reaches a predetermined position in the tape passage,
 said electronic component mounting method comprising: 
 performing head-feeding of the electronic component provided in a head of the connected new tape, in which the tape feeder feeds the tape such that the electronic component in the head of the new tape is located in the component pickup port, when the connected position detecting unit detects that the connected position of the tape reaches the predetermined position in the tape passage during mounting of the electronic component on a first board; and 
 after performing head-feeding of the electronic component, picking up the electronic component by the mounting head from the new tape fed by the head feeding control unit and mounting the electronic component on a second board which is different from the first board and positioned by the board conveying path when the connected position detecting unit detects that the connected position of the tape reaches the predetermined position in the tape passage. 
 
     
     
       2. An electronic component mounting method by an electronic component mounting device that comprises: a tape feeder which feeds pitch by pitch a tape which stores the electronic component is to be mounted on a board so as to supply one by one the electronic component to a component pickup port; a mounting head which picks up the electronic component supplied by the tape feeder to mount the electronic component on the board; a tape passage serving as a passage of the tape fed pitch by pitch by the tape feeder; and a connected position detecting unit which detects that a connected position where a new tape is connected to the tape provided in the tape feeder reaches a predetermined position in the tape passage,
 said electronic component mounting method comprising: 
 performing head-feeding of the electronic component provided in a head of the connected new tape, in which the tape feeder feeds the tape such that the electronic component in the head of the new tape is located in the component pickup port, when the connected position detecting unit detects that the connected position of the tape reaches the predetermined position in the tape passage during mounting of the electronic component on a first board; and 
 after performing head-feeding of the electronic component, picking up the electronic component by the mounting head from the new tape fed by the head feeding control unit and mounting the electronic component on a second board which is different from the first board when the connected position detecting unit detects that the connected position of the tape reaches the predetermined position in the tape passage.
