Abstract
Method and apparatus are provided for press-fitting caps on electric parts and the like. The apparatus has a device for feeding component rods of electric parts to a rod-conveying wheel provided on its circumference with lateral equally spaced grooves for receiving the rods fed from the rod-feeding device one by one, and a cap-feeding device for feeding caps to a pair of cap-conveying wheels each provided on its circumference with lateral equally-spaced grooves for receiving the caps fed from the cap-feeding device, the cap-conveying wheels being arranged symmetrically and obliquely with respect to the rod-conveying wheel so that the lower ends thereof come in contact with the lower end of the rod-conveying wheel thereby to press-fit the caps on the rods successively, and the rod-conveying and cap-conveying wheels being rotated in synchronization with one another. The method performed using the above apparatus comprises: feeding the rods onto the lateral grooves of the rod-conveying wheel one by one, feeding the caps onto the lateral grooves of the cap-conveying wheels one by one, and press-fitting the caps on both ends of the respective rods in succession.
