ABSTRACT:
An electronic component feeder is provided for transferring a succession of electronic components borne by a carrier tape toward a pickup position one by one, the carrier tape having a backing strip and a protective cover strip adhesively secured to the backing strip to hold the electronic components in position. The feeder comprises a tape reel about which the carrier tape is wound; a transfer mechanism intermittently operable for advancing the carrier tape toward the pickup position each time at a predetermined pitch; a takeup mechanism operable in synchronism with the transfer mechanism for winding up the protective cover strip peeled from the carrier tape; a shuttle rod for operatively coupling the transfer mechanism and the takeup mechanism to enable them to move in concert, the shuttle rod having a plurality of locator holes each for along of the shuttle rod; an actuator for reciprocating the shuttle rod to cause a synchronized movement of the transfer mechanism and the takeup mechanism, the actuator including a cylinder and a piston rod extendibly fitted into the cylinder; an interconnector block fixedly attached to the piston rod at a first end and slidably engaged with the shuttle rod at a second end; and a locator pin carried by the interconnector block for selective engagement with one of the locator holes of the shuttle rod.
