Abstract

The invention provides a component supply device which is small and can supply electronic components efficiently. The component supply device 1 mounts a component supply tape T and exposes the electronic components out of the component supply tape T to provide to a component installation device 7 which mounts the electronic components on a circuit board. The component supply device 1 has a replenishment device 2 which replenishes a new component supply tape (Tb) when a preceding component supply tape Ta runs out, and a sensor S which detects the run-out of the preceding component supply tape Ta. The replenishment device 2 has a reel holding section 21 on which reels 20 wound with the component supply tape T are inserted, and a standby section 5 of the component supply tape T. When the sensor S detects that the preceding component supply tape Ta runs out and issues a detection signal, the component supply tape T is moved from the standby section to be replenished.
