ABSTRACT:
An electronic-component conveying apparatus that conveys an electronic component by holding the electronic component in a through hole provided in a conveying table of the apparatus, in which the electronic component can be quickly and reliably dismounted from the through hole by using compressed gas, and undesired popout of the electronic component due to a residual pressure infrequently occurs, whereby the efficiency in the conveying process can be increased. A workpiece conveying apparatus includes a blowhole opening in a conveying surface of a conveying stage and configured such that an electronic component held in a through hole is dismounted by using compressed gas at a position where the through hole overlaps the blowhole while a conveying table is driven, a vacuum groove communicating with the blowhole and provided in a first surface of the conveying table, and an auxiliary blowhole connected to a compressed-gas supply device and opening in the conveying surface such as to be accessible to the vacuum groove.
