ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for arranging a plurality of different electric parts in a predetermined order for insertion into the substrate of a printed circuit board is disclosed. The apparatus has a plurality of cutter mechanisms arranged to receive respective tapes carrying respective electric parts. The cutter mechanism cuts the tape successively upon receipt of a control signal to sever the electrical parts one by one successively. The apparatus also has a plurality of carrier mechanisms arrayed on the periphery of a turn table which is arranged to be driven intermittently. When a carrier mechanism is positioned in front of the cutter mechanism having the desired electric part, the cutter mechanism is activated to sever the electric part and transfer the same to the carrier mechanism. Thus, the carrier mechanisms on the periphery of the turn table are loaded with respective electric parts. In this state, the electric parts are arrayed in the circumferential direction in a predetermined order for insertion to the substrate of a printed circuit board. Finally, the electric parts carried by the successive carrier mechanisms are attached in that order to adhesive tapes to form secondary taped parts which are to be delivered to an automatic electric part insertion device.
