[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in an electronic component taping apparatus of this type, an electronic component to be stored in a tape is placed on a supply table, and a suction tool attached to a rotating arm is used to suck the electronic component. It was conveyed and stored sequentially in the parts storage room in the tape. At this time, a part to be sucked while being displaced with respect to the suction tool is nipped and positioned by a pair of positioning claws in the middle of the conveyance and stored in the tape storage chamber.

[0003]

However, restricting the position of the component with the positioning claw in this manner may cause damage to the electronic component. In particular, when the size of the electronic component is reduced, it becomes difficult to perform the positioning of the component with the positioning claw. In addition, it is conceivable to take out the electronic component from the supply device by providing a suction tool to the XY moving head and store it in the tape, but the reciprocating movement of the head takes time and the production efficiency of component storage does not increase.

An object of the present invention is to securely store electronic components in a tape without lowering production efficiency.
