APPARATUS FOR MOUNTING COMPONENT

PURPOSE:To make it possible to mount components which are largely different in the mechanical nature, by causing an access to a component or substrate by an access drive equipment, providing a plurality of sets which are different in the access speed caused, and selectively using these. CONSTITUTION:A vacuum suction device 80 having reached a component supply station I stops with a nozzle 83 being downwardly directed. At the time of arrival, a presser 105 is in the rise position, and the vacuum suction device 80 has not yet generated the suction force. If a part 1 to be mounted is of a type which has resistance to a shock, an access drive equipment 190a operates to cause the vacuum suction device 80 to rapidly fall. When the nozzle 83 reaches the component 1, a vacuum switching valve 100 opens and the nozzle 83 sucks the component 1. The vacuum suction device 80 having sucked the component 1 rises as an elevator 110 rises, and it is conveyed by the intermittent rotation of a transfer device 60 from the parts supply station I to a component position control station II.
