Abstract

A mounting system having a function of picking up one of several different type works from a pickup position where the works having the different types are selectively fed, and of moving a picked up work to an insertion position so as to mount the work on a printed circuit board. The mounting system includes a rotary member arranged to be rotatable, head mechanisms having different types and mounted on the rotary member, the head mechanisms having a number of types corresponding to that of the types of the works, a memory for storing a pickup order and an insertion order in units of types of works, a driver for rotating and stopping the rotary member at predetermined angles, and a control device for preferentially driving the head mechanism to the pickup or insertion position.
