Abstract
An electronic component transferring device for transferring electronic components, including a plurality of rotary members rotatable about a common axis independently of each other, a rotary motion generating device for generating rotary motions of the rotary members about the common axis over a full 360.degree. angular range such that each rotary member is stopped at each predetermined stop position during one full rotation thereof and such that the rotary members are stopped at each stop position at different times, and a plurality of component holder heads which are carried by the rotary members, respectively, and which hold the respective electronic components. The apparatus may be suitably used in an electronic component mounting system. Also disclosed are a method of transferring the electronic components and a method of mounting the electronic components.
