も本発明を適用することができる。In the above-described embodiment, the component placing means 50 is horizontally moved with the interval of the component placing portions as a unit to sequentially laminate the components. However, the component placing means 50 is fixed and the component stacking / holding means 44 is fixed. You may move the side horizontally. Further, in the above embodiment, four parts are first laminated two by two to form two two-part combinations, and then these two two-part combinations are laminated together to form a combination of all parts (four parts). Although they were stacked in stages, for example, when stacking 8 parts,
First, four (half of the number of parts) two-part combination, and then two of these four two-part combinations are combined into two (four-half) four-part combinations, and finally these two
The four four-part combination is laminated to form a combination of all parts (eight parts) in three stages. In this case, the pitch of the horizontal movement of the component placement means 50 is the interval between adjacent components in the first stage movement, and is two component intervals and four component intervals in the second and third stage movements, respectively. .
Of course, the present invention can be applied to other multi-stage laminations besides the lamination of four and eight parts.

きる。According to the present invention, as described above, the junction boxes for automobiles arranged side by side at regular intervals.
Simultaneously grip multiple plate-shaped components for use with separate component stacking gripping jigs, and place half of the plate-shaped parts gripped by these component stacking gripping jigs on the corresponding component mounting parts. Place it on the component stacking gripping jig after relatively displacing the component mounting part or the component stacking gripping jig so that the parts on the component stacking gripping jig correspond to the parts on the component stacking gripping part. The parts are stacked on the parts on the parts placement part to form a part stack that is half the number of the initial parts, and another half of this half part stack is the part After gripping by the stacking grip jig, the component mounting part or the component stacking gripper is relatively displaced again to stack the component stack on the component stacking gripper on the component stack on the component mounter, Repeat the above operation until all the parts to be laminated are laminated Parts can be sequentially easily stacked.

きる。In addition to the component mounting means having a plurality of component mounting portions for mounting a plurality of components and the component stacking and holding means having the component stacking and holding jigs corresponding to the respective component mounting portions, Each component stacking and holding jig is moved up and down for each intermittent transfer of the component placement section, and only a mechanism for selectively driving the component stacking and holding jig conveys and grips a plurality of components so that they are sequentially stacked in a predetermined order. As a result, it is possible to economically stack components automatically with a low equipment cost and a small installation space.
