Abstract: According to a tape feeder of the present disclosure, a tape pressing member pressing a part which engages with an outer peripheral tooth of a sprocket in a carrier tape from above is connected to a main body by a connection mechanism. The connection mechanism is configured to move the entirety of the tape pressing member in a manner parallel to the main body in a case where a portion of the tape pressing member moves in a vertical direction with respect to the main body.

Abstract: A feeder exchanging carriage includes a reel holder which holds a reel on which a carrier tape which stores electronic components is wound, a feeder holder which holds a tape feeder which performs a feeding operation of the carrier tape, and a base unit which is provided with a pair of front wheels and a pair of rear wheels, and a telescopic unit (a front base and a rear base) which expands and contracts an interval between the pair of front wheels and the pair of rear wheels. In a state where the feeder exchanging carriage is mounted to an electronic component mounter, the interval between the front and rear wheels is contracted by the telescopic unit, and in a state where the feeder exchanging carriage is not mounted to an electronic component mounter, the interval between the front and rear wheels is expanded by the telescopic unit.

Abstract: There is provided a component mounter including: a storage which stores information related to a tape feeder and information related to a carrier tape pitch-fed by the tape feeder; a detector which detects a state where the carrier tape becomes close to a component shortage; a determiner which determines whether to perform predetermined processing with respect to a termination portion of the carrier tape based on information related to the tape feeder and information related to the carrier tape which are stored in the storage, in a case where a state where the carrier tape is close to a component shortage is detected by the detector; and a notifier which notifies an operator of contents of the predetermined processing, in a case where the determiner determines that the predetermined processing is supposed to be performed with respect to the termination portion of the carrier tape.

Abstract: According to the present disclosure, a tape feeder includes a main body that is attached to a component mounter and has a tape traveling path which is a traveling path of a carrier tape; and a sprocket that is provided in the main body, causes an outer peripheral tooth to engage with a feed hole of the carrier tape, and rotates so as to perform pitch feeding of the carrier tape on the tape traveling path. The tape feeder includes a lock mechanism that has a press operation unit operated with pressing force, locks the sprocket in the main body in a state where the press operation unit is not operated, and unlocks the sprocket in a state where the press operation unit is operated.
