Specifically, the reel transfer mechanism 40 takes out the reel 70 from the reel holding portion 31 by driving the arm 42 and the pickup portion 43. In addition, the reel transfer mechanism 40 places the taken-out reel 70 in a horizontal position on the loading area 22d or the temporary placement area 22e by driving the arm 42 and the pickup portion 43. The reel transfer mechanism 40 sequentially uses the plurality of reels 70 stacked on the reel holding portion 31 from the top.

[0061] The feeder supply unit 50 includes a feeder storage unit 51 and a feeder conveying unit 52 which are detachably provided. Figure 2 As shown, the storage space 13a at the upper portion of the second housing 13 is open at one end side in the second direction (arrow Y1 direction), and can store multiple (for example, two in this figure) feeder storage parts 51 in parallel along the first direction (arrow X direction). Figure 1 As shown, a plurality of roller conveyors 13 b extending in a first direction (arrow X direction) are provided on the bottom surface that partitions the storage space 13 a , so that the storage operation of the feeder storage section 51 becomes easy.

[0062] The feeder accommodating portion 51 is formed in a box shape with one end side (arrow Y1 direction) in the second direction open. A plurality of slots having the same shape as the slots 21b of the feeder holding portion 21 are formed on the bottom surface of the feeder accommodating portion 51. The feeder accommodating portion 51 can accommodate a plurality of feeders 60 in a longitudinal posture in parallel along the first direction (arrow X direction). When a plurality of feeders 60 are accommodated in the feeder accommodating portion 51 and the feeder accommodating portion 51 is properly accommodated in the storage space 13a, the connectors of the feeders 60 and the feeder accommodating portion 51 are engaged with each other, and the plurality of feeder control units are connected to the setting device 10a in a manner capable of communication.

[0063] The feeder storage section 51 is provided with an identification code for identifying the feeder storage section 51. For example, based on the operation instruction data, the operator purchases a plurality of feeders 60 to be used and performs a storage operation of storing them in the feeder storage section 51. In addition, the number of feeder storage sections 51 that can be stored in the storage space 13a can be one or more than three. In addition, the transportation of the plurality of feeders 60 can also use a known unmanned transportation vehicle or the like.

[0064] A guide rail 13c is provided at the lower part of the second direction one end side (arrow Y1 direction) of the storage space 13a of the second housing 13. The guide rail 13c is provided over the substantially entire first direction (arrow X direction) of the storage space 13a, and is provided so as to extend to the second direction one end side (arrow Y1 direction) of the feeder holding portion 21. In addition, a feeder conveying portion 52 is provided on the guide rail 13c. The feeder conveying portion 52 moves along the guide rail 13c, and reciprocates between the feeder storage portion 51 and the feeder holding portion 21.

[0065] The feeder conveying unit 52 is formed into a box shape having an opening at the other end side in the second direction (arrow Y2 direction). The feeder conveying unit 52 has an internal space for temporarily internalizing the feeder 60, and a feeder operating mechanism for carrying the feeder 60 into or out of the internal space through the opening. Therefore, the feeder conveying unit 52 can carry out the feeder 60 from the feeder accommodating unit 51 and the feeder holding unit 21, and can carry the feeder 60 into the feeder accommodating unit 51 and the feeder holding unit 21. In addition, a safety gate that can be opened and closed is provided at one end side in the second direction (arrow Y1 direction) of the reel supply unit 30 and the feeder supply unit 50 to prevent an operator from approaching the reel supply unit 30 and the feeder supply unit 50.

[0066] 1-2. Control example of installation device 10a

[0067] The setting device 10a controls the feeder conveying section 52 to convey the feeder 60 ( Figure 6 The feeder conveying unit 52 pulls out the feeder 60 from the feeder accommodating unit 51 and inserts the feeder 60 therein, moves to the feeder holding unit 21, and inserts the built-in feeder 60 into the feeder holding unit 21. Thus, the feeder 60 is held at the operation implementation position, and the identification code of the feeder 60 is read.

[0068] Assuming that there is no feeder 60 applicable to the uppermost reel 70 of the reel holding section 31, the reel 70 is placed in the temporary placement area 22e by the reel transfer mechanism 40. The above placement is repeated until there is an applicable feeder 60, and the feeder 60 corresponding to the uppermost reel 70 of the reel holding section 31 is inserted into the feeder holding section 21. After the control shown in step S1, the first series of controls shown in steps S2 to S5 and the second series of controls shown in steps S11 to S14 are executed in parallel in the setting device 10a.

[0069] In the first series of control, the setting device 10a confirms the state of the reel 70 based on the read identification code of the feeder 60 or the identification code of the reel 70, and changes the control according to the state of the reel 70 (step S2). Specifically, in the case where the feeder 60 has been used in the component mounting machine before, the feeder 60 may be equipped with a reel 70 in use with the carrier tape 72 halfway through use. In this case, the setting device 10a performs a fixing process of fixing the front end of the carrier tape 72 with a tape or the like to suppress the slack of the carrier tape 72 (step S3). At this time, the setting device 10a can wind the carrier tape 72 around the reel 70 as needed.

[0070] Next, the reel removal mechanism 23 removes the reel 70 from the feeder 60 (step S4). Specifically, the movable table 23b moves from the standby position to the feeder holding portion 21. And, when the removal member 23c swings from the horizontal posture to the vertical posture, the pickup portion 23c2 abuts against the reel 70 to pick up the reel 70. Then, when the removal member 23c returns from the vertical posture to the horizontal posture, the pickup portion 23c2 pulls the reel 70 out of the reel holding shaft 61 and holds it in a horizontal posture. At this time, the setting device 10a deletes the identification information of the reel 70 from the storage unit of the feeder control unit of the feeder 60. In addition, the setting device 10a sends the identification information of the feeder 60 from which the reel 70 has been removed to the upper management device. At this time, the setting device 10a may also send the identification information of the removed reel 70 together with the identification information of the feeder 60 to the upper management device.

[0071] Next, the reel disassembly mechanism 23 recovers the reel 70 (step S5). Specifically, first, the movable table 23b moves from the feeder holding portion 21 to the standby position. And the pickup portion 23c2 releases the reel 70. As a result, the released reel 70 falls into the recovery box 23d and is recovered. When the reel 70 is recovered, the control of the first series becomes a standby state until the control of the second series is completed.

[0072] In addition, the feeder 60 may be equipped with a used reel 70 in which all the carrier tapes 72 have been used (step S2). In this case, the first series of controls omits the control shown in step S3 and executes the control shown in steps S4 and S5. In addition, the feeder 60 may not be equipped with a reel 70 (step S2). In this case, the first series of controls omits the control shown in steps S3 to S5.

[0073] In the second series of control, the reel transfer mechanism 40 uses the pickup unit 43 to pick up the uppermost reel 70 of the reel holding unit 31 and places it on the placement area 22d (step S11). Then, the reel transfer mechanism 40 returns the pickup unit 43 to the top of the reel holding unit 31. In addition, if there is no applicable feeder 60, the reel transfer mechanism 40 places the reel 70 on the temporary placement area 22e.

[0074] Next, the reel mounting mechanism 22 changes the posture of the reel 70 in the loading area 22d (step S12). Specifically, first, the mounting member 22c changes from the upright posture to the horizontal posture, and the pickup portion 22c2 abuts against the reel 70 to pick up the reel 70. Then, the mounting member 22c returns from the horizontal posture to the upright posture, and the pickup portion 22c2 changes the reel 70 from the horizontal posture to the vertical posture and holds it. In addition, when using the reel 70 in the temporary placement area 22e, before the mounting member 22c changes from the upright posture to the horizontal posture, the movable table 22b moves a predetermined distance toward the other end side of the first direction (in the direction of the arrow X2). The control of the second series becomes a standby state until the end condition indicating that the control of step S4 of the first series is completed is met. In this way, interference between the reel mounting mechanism 22 and the reel removal mechanism 23 can be avoided.

[0075] When the above-mentioned end condition is satisfied, the reel installation mechanism 22 installs the reel 70 to the feeder 60 (step S13). Specifically, while the pickup portion 22c2 holds the reel 70 in a vertical position, the movable table 22b moves to the feeder holding portion 21. As a result, the reel 70 moves toward the reel holding shaft 61 and is installed on the reel holding shaft 61. The movement of the movable table 22b can be performed simultaneously with the movement of the movable table 23b to the standby position.

[0076] When the installation of the tape reel 70 is completed, the setting device 10a causes the feeder control unit of the feeder 60 to which the tape reel 70 is installed to store the identification information of the tape reel 70. In addition, the setting device 10a establishes a correspondence between the identification information of the feeder 60 and the identification information of the tape reel 70 equipped on the feeder 60 and sends them to the upper management device. In addition, the moving table 22b returns to the standby position. Next, the setting device 10a conveys the carrier tape 72 until the feed hole 72e of the carrier tape 72 engages with the tooth portion of the manual sprocket 64b described later (step S14).

[0077] When the control of the first series and the control of the second series are completed, the feeder conveying unit 52 pulls out the built-in feeder 60 from the feeder holding unit 21, moves to the feeder storage unit 51, and inserts the built-in feeder 60 into the feeder storage unit 51 (step S6). As a result, the setting operation for one feeder 60 is completed. The setting device 10a determines whether the setting operation for all feeders 60 is completed (step S7). In the case where the setting operation for all feeders 60 is completed (in the case of yes in step S7), the control of the setting device 10a is temporarily terminated. In the case where the setting operation for all feeders 60 is not completed (in the case of no in step S7), the control of the setting device 10a returns to the control shown in step S1, and the above-mentioned control is repeated until the setting operation for all feeders 60 is completed.

[0078] When the control of the setting device 10a is finished, for example, the operator transports the feeder storage section 51 containing the set feeder 60 to the component mounting machine to perform the production change adjustment of the feeder 60. In addition, when the temporary placement area 22e is loaded with a reel 70, when the operator stores the feeder 60 that can be used for the reel 70 in the feeder storage section 51, the reel 70 becomes usable. In addition, the reel 70 that is not used and remains in the temporary placement area 22e is returned to the reel holding section 31 by the reel transfer mechanism 40 and is recovered by the operator. In addition, the above-mentioned transportation operation performed by the operator can also be automated using a well-known unmanned transportation vehicle or the like.

[0079] 1-3. Configuration Example of Reel Loading Device 80

[0080] When loading the tape reel 70 into the feeder 60, it is necessary to position the front end portion 72t of the carrier tape 72 and the peeling blade 66 that peels off the cover tape 72b. Therefore, the installation device 10a is provided with a tape reel loading device 80. The tape reel loading device 80 loads the tape reel 70 wound with the carrier tape 72 into the feeder 60. In addition, the tape reel loading device 80 can perform the above-mentioned positioning. In addition, as described above, in the installation device 10a, the loading operation of loading the tape reel 70 into the feeder 60 is also automated.

[0081] The reel loading device 80 includes a positioning mechanism 83. In addition, the reel loading device 80 may also include an operating mechanism 81. In addition, the reel loading device 80 may also include a detection mechanism 82. In addition, the reel loading device 80 may also include a conveying unit 84. Figure 7~Figure 9 As shown in FIG. 8 , the tape reel loading device 80 of the embodiment includes: an operating mechanism 81, a detection mechanism 82, a positioning mechanism 83 and a conveying unit 84. Fig.10As shown, the operating mechanism 81 of the embodiment, the moving portion 82c of the detection mechanism 82, and the pressing member driving portion 83b of the positioning mechanism 83 are provided in a non-operating area AR1 where an operator does not operate the feeder 60. Fig.10 The feeder 60 and the reel loading device 80 are schematically shown as viewed from above in the vertical direction. As described later, the non-operation area AR1 includes an area where an operator does not need to operate the reel 70 loading operation.

[0082] The transport unit 84 can be provided in various control devices, management devices, etc. The transport unit 84 can also be formed on the cloud. Figure 7 As shown, the conveying unit 84 of the embodiment is provided in the control device of the installation device 10a. Fig.11 The control is executed according to the flowchart shown. The operating mechanism 81 performs the processing and judgment shown in step S21 to step S24. The detection mechanism 82 performs the judgment shown in step S25. The positioning mechanism 83 performs the processing and judgment shown in step S26 to step S29. The conveying unit 84 performs the processing shown in step S30.

[0083] 1-3-1. Operating mechanism 81

[0084] like Fig.12 and Fig.13 As shown, the feeder 60 includes: a driving sprocket 64a, a manual sprocket 64b and an operating unit 65. As described above, the driving sprocket 64a conveys the carrier tape 72. The manual sprocket 64b refers to a sprocket located on the upstream side of the driving sprocket 64a in the conveying direction of the carrier tape 72 (equivalent to the second direction one end side (arrow Y1 direction) in the setting device 10a. The same applies hereinafter.). Similar to the driving sprocket 64a, the tooth portion of the manual sprocket 64b engages with the feed hole 72e of the carrier tape 72.

[0085] The operation part 65 is a part where the operator can rotate the manual sprocket 64b. When the operator rotates the operation part 65, the manual sprocket 64b rotates and the carrier tape 72 can be conveyed from the manual sprocket 64b to the drive sprocket 64a. As a result, the carrier tape 72 is conveyed to the peeling cover tape 72b. Fig.14 The stripping knife 66 is shown. In order to automate the above-mentioned operation by the operator, the reel loading device 80 is provided with an operating mechanism 81.

[0086] The operating mechanism 81 rotates the manual sprocket 64b instead of the operator to convey the carrier tape 72 from the manual sprocket 64b to the drive sprocket 64a. The operating mechanism 81 can be in various forms as long as it can convey the carrier tape 72 as described above. The operating mechanism 81 of the embodiment includes: a convex member 81a, a convex member driving unit 81b, and a detection unit 81c. For example, Fig.13As shown, the manual sprocket 64b includes a polygonal hole 64b1. The hole 64b1 is formed in a hexagonal shape, for example.

[0087] In the above method, if Fig.15 and Fig.16 As shown, the operating mechanism 81 may include a convex member 81a and a convex member driving unit 81b. The convex member 81a is a member that can be engaged with the hole 64b1. For example, when the hole 64b1 is formed in a hexagonal shape, the convex member 81a may be formed in a hexagonal column shape. The convex member driving unit 81b moves the convex member 81a toward the hole 64b1 and rotates it in a state of being engaged with the hole 64b1, thereby rotating the manual sprocket 64b.

[0088] The convex member driving unit 81b can be in various forms as long as it can move the convex member 81a and rotate the manual sprocket 64b as described above. The convex member driving unit 81b can move the convex member 81a by, for example, an air cylinder. In addition, the convex member driving unit 81b can rotate the convex member 81a by, for example, a motor. Thus, the carrier tape 72 is conveyed from the manual sprocket 64b to the stripping knife 66.

[0089] In addition, when the convex member 81a rotates without being engaged with the hole 64b1, it idles and cannot rotate the manual sprocket 64b. Therefore, the operating mechanism 81 may include a detection portion 81c. The detection portion 81c detects the engagement state of the convex member 81a and the hole 64b. The detection portion 81c may be in various forms as long as it can detect the engagement state. Fig.15 and Fig.16 As shown, the convex member 81a of the embodiment is provided at the front end of the step member 92 provided so as to be relatively movable with respect to the base portion 91 fixed to the shaft 81b1 of the convex member driving portion 81b.

[0090] The step member 92 includes a first member 92a, a second member 92b, and a biasing member 92c. The first member 92a is a member provided on the side of the pedestal 91. The second member 92b is a member having a larger diameter than the first member 92a and provided on the side of the convex member 81a. The biasing member 92c is a member that biases the first member 92a, the second member 92b, and the convex member 81a in the direction of the hole 64b1. For example, the first member 92a and the second member 92b are made of metal and are formed in a cylindrical shape. In addition, a spring member can be used as the biasing member 92c.

[0091] The detection unit 81c is a proximity sensor. When the convex member driving unit 81b moves the convex member 81a toward the hole 64b1 and fits into the hole 64b1, the proximity sensor moves together with the base 91 and can detect the second member 92b that is closer to the first member 92a. Specifically, the convex member driving unit 81b moves the convex member 81a toward the hole 64b1 ( Fig.11 When the convex member 81a is engaged with the hole 64b1, the detection unit 81c faces the first member 92a and does not detect the second member 92b, thereby detecting the engaged state. When the engaged state is detected by the detection unit 81c (in the case of YES in step S22), the convex member driving unit 81b rotates the convex member 81a to rotate the manual sprocket 64b (step S23).

[0092] When the convex member 81a is not engaged with the hole 64b1, the force applying member 92c contracts by an amount corresponding to the inability of the convex member 81a to enter the hole 64b1, and the convex member 81a moves relative to the base 91. As a result, the detection unit 81c faces the second member 92b and detects the second member 92b, thereby detecting the non-engaged state in which the convex member 81a is not engaged with the hole 64b1. When the non-engaged state is detected by the detection unit 81c (in the case of No in step S22), the convex member driving unit 81b rotates the convex member 81a to change the rotation position (angle) of the convex member 81a until the detection unit 81c detects the engaged state (step S24).

[0093] Thus, when the convex member 81a is engaged with the hole 64b1, the detection unit 81c faces the first member 92a, and the engagement state is detected by not detecting the second member 92b. In addition, when the convex member 81a is not engaged with the hole 64b1, the detection unit 81c faces the second member 92b by relatively moving, and the non-engagement state is detected by detecting the second member 92b. Thus, the convex member driving unit 81b can reliably rotate the manual sprocket 64b in a state where the convex member 81a is engaged with the hole 64b1.

[0094] 1-3-2. Testing agency 82

[0095] The detection mechanism 82 detects the pre-arrival state immediately before the leading end portion 72t of the carrier tape 72 reaches the blade tip portion 66a of the peeling knife 66. The detection mechanism 82 may be in various forms as long as it can detect the pre-arrival state.

[0096] like Figure 8 and Fig. 9As shown, for example, the detection mechanism 82 includes: a camera 82a, a detection unit 82b, and a moving unit 82c. The camera 82a can be any camera as long as it can capture the carrier tape 72, and a known camera can be used. The camera 82a can capture the carrier tape 72 from above in the vertical direction. The detection unit 82b performs image processing on the image data of the carrier tape 72 obtained by the camera 82a to identify the positional relationship between the front end portion 72t of the carrier tape 72 and the blade tip portion 66a of the stripping knife 66, and detects the pre-arrival state based on the identified positional relationship. The moving unit 82c moves the camera 82a to the top of the carrier tape 72 when capturing the carrier tape 72.

[0097] like Fig.14 As shown, for example, the tape guide 67 to which the stripping knife 66 is attached has a window portion 67a capable of identifying the feed hole 72e of the carrier tape 72 at a predetermined position on the upstream side of the stripping knife 66 in the conveying direction of the carrier tape 72. In this case, when the window portion 67a identifies the feed hole 72e of the carrier tape 72, the detection portion 82b can identify the positional relationship that the front end portion 72t of the carrier tape 72 reaches the blade tip portion 66a of the stripping knife 66, thereby detecting the pre-arrival state. In addition, when the window portion 67a does not identify the feed hole 72e of the carrier tape 72, the detection portion 82b can detect the non-pre-arrival state that is not in the above-mentioned positional relationship.

[0098] In addition, the detection mechanism 82 may also include: a light projector that can project light to the carrier tape 72 at a predetermined position on the upstream side of the stripping knife 66 in the conveying direction of the carrier tape 72; and a light receiver that receives the reflected light projected from the light projector and reflected by the carrier tape 72. In this case, the detection mechanism 82 can determine the presence or absence of the carrier tape 72 based on the intensity of the reflected light received by the light receiver. Thus, the detection unit 82b can also recognize the positional relationship of the front end portion 72t of the carrier tape 72 reaching the blade tip portion 66a of the stripping knife 66 when the intensity of the reflected light received by the light receiver is above a predetermined level, and detect the pre-arrival state.

[0099] 1-3-3. Positioning Mechanism 83 and Transport Unit 84

[0100] When the tape reel 70 is loaded into the feeder 60, the positioning mechanism 83 positions the peeling knife 66 in such a manner that the blade tip 66a of the peeling knife 66 enters the front end 72t of the carrier tape 72 before the front end 72t of the carrier tape 72 reaches the peeling knife 66 that peels off the cover tape 72b. The positioning mechanism 83 can adopt various methods as long as it can position the peeling knife 66 as described above. For example, the positioning mechanism 83 of the embodiment includes: a pressing member 83a, a pressing member driving unit 83b, an adjustment unit 83c, and a confirmation unit 83d.

[0101] like Fig.17 and Fig.18 As shown in FIG. 1 , for example, the positioning mechanism 83 includes a pressing member 83a and a pressing member driving unit 83b. The pressing member 83a is a member capable of pressing a predetermined portion 67b of the belt guide 67 to which the stripping blade 66 is attached. The pressing member driving unit 83b moves the pressing member 83a toward the predetermined portion 67b of the belt guide 67 to press the predetermined portion 67b. For example, the pressing member 83a is rotatable around a fulcrum 83a1.

[0102] One end of the pressing member 83a is connected to the pressing member driving unit 83b. The pressing member driving unit 83b moves one end of the pressing member 83a upward in the vertical direction, for example, by means of a cylinder. Thus, the pressing member 83a rotates around the fulcrum 83a1. The other end of the pressing member 83a is formed into an L shape, and the front end can press the predetermined position 67b. Thus, the stripping knife 66 is positioned in the vertical direction.

[0103] In addition, when the detection mechanism 82 detects the pre-arrival state (in Fig.11 In the case of YES in step S25 shown in the figure), the positioning mechanism 83 presses the predetermined portion 67b of the belt guide 67 to position the peeling knife 66 (step S26). If the detection mechanism 82 does not detect the pre-arrival state (in the case of NO in step S25), the operating mechanism 81 rotates the manual sprocket 64b until the pre-arrival state is detected.

[0104] The positioning mechanism 83 may also include an adjustment unit 83c. The adjustment unit 83c adjusts the pressing amount when the pressing member 83a presses the predetermined portion 67b (step S27). The adjustment unit 83c may be in various forms as long as it can adjust the pressing amount. Fig.19 and Fig. 20 As shown, for example, the adjustment portion 83c is provided so as to be rotatable by the pressing member driving portion 83b.

[0105] The adjustment portion 83c is formed into an elliptical shape when viewed along the rotation axis direction, and can adjust the descending amount of the pressing member 83a according to the rotation position (angle). The pressing member 83a has a protrusion 83a2 protruding downward. The protrusion 83a2 can press the predetermined portion 67b of the belt guide 67 by descending the descending amount adjusted by the adjustment portion 83c.

[0106] The positioning mechanism 83 may also include a confirmation unit 83d. The confirmation unit 83d confirms the peeling state of the cover tape 72b by the peeling knife 66 (step S28). The confirmation unit 83d may be in various forms as long as it can confirm the peeling state (the state in which the cover tape 72b is properly peeled). Figure 8 and Fig. 9As shown, for example, the confirmation unit 83d can use the camera 82a to confirm the peeling state. Specifically, the confirmation unit 83d uses the camera 82a to photograph the area where the peeled cover tape 72b passes. And the confirmation unit 83d can perform image processing on the image data of the area obtained by the camera 82a to confirm the peeling state.

[0107] When the confirmation unit 83d confirms the peeling state (if YES in step S28), the pressing member driving unit 83b stops pressing the predetermined portion 67b by the pressing member 83a (step S29). In addition, the conveying unit 84 conveys the carrier tape 72 to the feeder 60 until the component 100 reaches the pickup position 63 for picking up the component 100 (step S30). Specifically, the conveying unit 84 rotates the driving sprocket 64a to convey the carrier tape 72.

[0108] For example, the conveying unit 84 can use the above-mentioned imaging device 82a to capture the pickup position 63. Furthermore, the conveying unit 84 can perform image processing on the image data of the pickup position 63 acquired by the imaging device 82a to confirm the arrival of the component 100. In addition, the conveying unit 84 can also confirm the arrival of the component 100 using a height sensor provided at the pickup position 63. In addition, when the peeling state is not confirmed by the confirmation unit 83d (in the case of "No" in step S28), the predetermined portion 67b is continuously pressed and the rotation of the manual sprocket 64b is continued until the peeling state is confirmed.

[0109] 1-3-4. Configuration Example of Reel Loading Device 80

[0110] like Figure 2 As shown, in the embodiment, the feeder 60 is provided inside the first housing 11. Therefore, when loading the tape reel 70 into the feeder 60, the operator is usually unable to operate the feeder 60. However, for example, when a problem with the loading operation occurs, the setting device 10a sometimes supplies only the driving power for driving the feeder 60, stops the driving power of other mechanisms, and allows the operator to operate after implementing the operator's safety countermeasures.

[0111] In this case, the operating mechanism 81 can be provided in the non-operating area AR1 where the operator does not operate the feeder 60. Similarly, the moving portion 82c of the detection mechanism 82 can be provided in the non-operating area AR1. In addition, the pressing member driving portion 83b of the positioning mechanism 83 can be provided in the non-operating area AR1. In any case, the reel loading device 80 can be arranged in an area that does not affect the operator's operation.

[0112] Specifically, if Figure 3 As shown, the tape reel 70 is mounted on the tape reel retaining shaft 61. Figure 8 and Fig.10 As shown in FIG. 1 , the side of the feeder 60 where the reel holding shaft 61 protrudes corresponds to the operation area AR2 where the operator may operate the feeder 60. Fig.10 As shown, the non-operation area AR1 can be set in an area on the side opposite to the side where the reel holding shaft 61 protrudes. The non-operation area AR1 includes, for example, an area that does not require an operator to perform an operation for loading the reel 70.

[0113] The above description about the non-operating area AR1 is particularly useful when the feeder 60 is not covered by the housing and is exposed. Figure 8 The feeder 60 shown is provided on a workbench, and the operator loads the tape reel 70 into the feeder 60. In addition, the matters described in this specification can be appropriately selected and combined. For example, in the feeder 60 without the manual sprocket 64b and the operating part 65, the operating mechanism 81 can also be omitted.

[0114] 2. Example of Effects of Implementation

[0115] According to reel loading device 80 , before leading end 72t of carrier tape 72 reaches peeling knife 66 for peeling cover tape 72b , peeling knife 66 can be positioned so that blade tip 66a of peeling knife 66 enters leading end 72t of carrier tape 72 .
