Abstract

A component mounting method, and an apparatus therefor, which includes the steps of causing a plurality of suction nozzles, supported for intermittent movement along a predetermined path in synchronism with each other, to receive electric components at a component receiving station and then to transport them towards a component mounting station, and effecting both the rectification of the position of each component in two directions perpendicular to each other and the angle adjustment of the respective component during the successive transportation of the components towards the component mounting station. Both the rectification of the position and the angle adjustment of each component are carried out while the associated suction nozzle is held still at a certain station, and electric characteristics of each component are checked during the rectification.
