ELECTRONIC CIRCUIT COMPONENT MOUNTING DEVICE

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable substantially simultaneous completion of a mounting work in each mounting unit of an electronic circuit component mounting device having a plurality of mounting units for mounting electronic circuit components onto a circuit board, without changing a mounting course of a component supply unit. SOLUTION: A plurality of mounting units 18 are movable along a common fixer 148 by use of a linear motor 148 as driving source, so that the degree of freedom is improved in each moving range of the mounting units 18, and that the moving range of the mutually neighboring mounting units 18 can be overlapped. By use of a single mounting device 18 enabling mounting of components 16 onto a plurality of printed wiring boards 12, even when quantities of the components 16 for mounting are deviated depending on working positions, a mounting unit 18 having a smaller number of components 16 for mounting mounts the components 16 onto a printed wiring board 12 positioned to another working position, so that each mounting work by each mounting unit 18 can be completed substantially simultaneously.
