According to the present invention, a chip component discharged from a hopper is transported by a belt, and the chip component is guided by a guide member during transport. No components are required, the chip components can be manufactured at low cost, and the chip component supply device and the chip component mounter can be downsized. In addition, when the number of chip components stored in the hopper is reduced, it is sufficient to add the chip components to the storage portion, the operation can be continued without stopping the chip component mounting machine, and the operation rate can be improved. Furthermore, since the chip components dropped on the belt are guided by the guide grooves inclined along the moving direction of the belt, the components attached to the base can be arranged compactly, and the base can be thinned,
A small and lightweight chip component supply device can be provided.
