Abstract

In an actuator of a bonding apparatus, a rotating body 16 that has a bonding head is rotatably supported on a supporting carrier having the same shape as magnetic path members 32L and 32R, and coil portions 40 and 42 are disposed on both outer sides of this supporting carrier. Rectilinear magnetic fields created by the coil portions 40 and 42 and a circumferential magnetic field created by permanent magnets of the rotating body 16 act cooperatively via magnetic path members 32L and 32R in which a plurality of magnetic paths are formed, so that the rotating body 16 makes a movement combining rotation and a linear movement along the Y axis in accordance with the respective driving of the coil portions 40 and 42. The rotating body 16 is movable along the X and Y axes by the shape of the magnetic paths of the magnetic path members.
