There is provided a plurality of component mounting apparatuses for sucking
a plurality of components by a mounting head section and successively mounting
the components onto a board located at a board positioning section. The component
mounting apparatuses are arranged in parallel to one another, and a board transfer
path is provided so that it penetrates the component mounting apparatuses. Even
when the number of components to be mounted onto the board increases, the components
are mounted on the component supply tables of the component mounting apparatuses
as distributed thereto, and therefore, the whole apparatus is not dimensionally
increased. The component supply tables are fixedly installed so as to become free
of vibration, and the mounting head section executes the suction and the mounting
of the plurality of components. Therefore, the component mounting operation speed
can be remarkably increased.
