Abstract

To provide a tape feeder position adjustment device capable of easily and quickly performing tape feeder position adjustment work, and a tape feeder position adjustment method.SOLUTION: The position of a target on a main body 51 in a lateral direction is measured in a state where an eccentric pin protruding from a main body 51 of a tape feeder 16 is inserted into a through hole formed in a mounting slot. Based on the measured position of the target in the lateral direction, the eccentric pin is rotated from the opposite side of the tape feeder 16 through the through hole by an eccentric pin rotation unit 75. The position of the tape feeder 16 is adjusted in the lateral direction by displacing the tape feeder 16 in the lateral direction.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 10
