Patent attributes
The present invention provides an electronic component mounting apparatus, wherein a high speed operation can be provided by simplifying the structure of a mounting head and wherein the working efficiency can be improved by eliminating the use of the mounting head for a coating process. In the electronic component mounting apparatus, a flux is coated on chips supplied to an electronic component feeding unit while bump formation faces are directed upward. The chips are mounted on a substrate. A holding head receives the chips extracted from an adhesive sheet by a mounting head and is inverted relative to a stage on which a flux is spread. As a result, the bumps of the chips are covered with the flux and are flattened, and after the holding head is returned to the original stage, the chips on the stage are extracted and mounted on the substrate by the mounting head.
