Press machine for chip components

A press machine for transferring miniature components C from a first plate to a second plate is disclosed. Pin head mounting members (27, 28) are rotatably mounted on a horizontal spindle (25) above a table (2) which horizontally supports a holding plate holding chip type electronic components, and the spindle (25) is vertically movable by a vertical cylinder. Four mounting surfaces are formed on a side portion of each of the pin head mounting members (27, 28), and pin heads (31 to 34) (34 not shown) each having a number of press pins are detachably mounted on the mounting surfaces. A locking pin (44) is provided on an upper end portion of the spindle (25) for locking the pin head mounting members every 90 DEG . Thus, it is possible to efficiently replace press pins in response to type change of chip type electronic components, as well as to quickly exchange a broken press pin.
