ABSTRACT:
Electronic chips accumulated at random directions are arranged in an orderly line by a chip part supplier. A chip part feeder transfers the first aligned chip onto a printed circuit board. Chip parts having random directions in a hopper are fed to a discharge channel, organized in a prescribed direction and transferred through the discharge channel before being discharged through the channel bottom end onto a conveying belt before being carried by the belt in a prescribed direction. A clearance forcefully caused between the first chip and next chip separates the two chips completely just before the first chip is picked up. The thus separated first chip part is picked up by a suction head before being transferred to the printed circuit board.
