Mounting apparatus for electronic parts is disclosed. More particularly, the mounting apparatus includes a mounting head and a suction-operated gripping mechanism for selectively gripping an object positioned adjacent one side of the gripping mechanism. A suction-operated attaching mechanism is also provided for selectively and removably attaching the gripping mechanism to the mounting head, whereby the gripping mechanism is removable from the mounting head and is hence replaceable. The mounting apparatus also has a viewing mechanism, including a camera, for viewing an object gripped by the gripping mechanism. The viewing mechanism is located on an opposite side of the gripping mechanism. The gripping mechanism has a light-transmitting portion positioned in such a manner that an object gripped by the gripping mechanism can be viewed by the camera through the gripping mechanism.

Abstract

Mounting apparatus for electronic parts is disclosed. More particularly, the mounting apparatus includes a mounting head and a suction-operated gripping mechanism for selectively gripping an object positioned adjacent one side of the gripping mechanism. A suction-operated attaching mechanism is also provided for selectively and removably attaching the gripping mechanism to the mounting head, whereby the gripping mechanism is removable from the mounting head and is hence replaceable. The mounting apparatus also has a viewing mechanism, including a camera, for viewing an object gripped by the gripping mechanism. The viewing mechanism is located on an opposite side of the gripping mechanism. The gripping mechanism has a light-transmitting portion positioned in such a manner that an object gripped by the gripping mechanism can be viewed by the camera through the gripping mechanism.
