Abstract

An electronic parts mounting device of the type including a head movable along the upper surface of a substrate and in the directions of X- and Y-axes for, arranging electronic parts at predetermined locations on the substrate. The device comprises a frame, a spindle mounted on the frame rotatably and movably in the vertical directions with the upper end being connected to the vacuum source and the lower end having a nozzle for absorbing the electronic parts, a rotatable device rotatable relative to the frame and connected to the spindle displaceably in the axial directions and not rotatably relative thereto. A locator supporting device for supporting at least one pair of locators with the lower ends of which opposing the tip end of the nozzle and for clamping and retaining the electronic parts absorbed on the nozzle, and the locators supported rotatably around the horizontal axis and connected to the spindle so as to displace in the axial direction and non-rotatably, and connected to the rotatable device, and a locator rotating device for rotating the locators to close the locators when the locators and the nozzle are at the same level.
