ELECTRONIC APPARATUS ASSEMBLING MACHINE AND SIMILAR ASSEMBLING MACHINES

The invention improves an electronic apparatus assembly machine that is formed by a substrate conveyance device, which conveys a substrate in a conveyance direction, a plurality of component supply devices, which are arrayed in a direction that is parallel to the conveyance direction, and respectively supply a single kind of electronic circuit component, and a mounting device, which receives the electronic circuit components from the component supply devices, and mounts the components onto the substrate that is carried into a work region by the substrate conveyance device, being supported by a main body frame. A mounting device is configured to include (a) a plurality of articulated robots 40, which include an arm section 54 that includes a plurality of link members (46, 48, 50 and 52), which are connected so as to be relatively rotatable with respect to one another at a plurality of joints, and a hand 52 that is attached to a free end section of the arm section 54 so as to be relatively rotatable, and (b) a robot guide rail 42 that supports base end sections of the articulated robots 40 in a manner in which the articulated robots 40 are capable of moving in a direction that is parallel to a conveyance direction, and the hand 52 holds a rotating head 80, which holds a plurality of suction nozzles 98.
