Abstract:
An electronic component supply apparatus transports a component supply tape having accommodation sections in which electronic components are accommodated and that supplies each of the electronic components accommodated in each of the accommodation sections to a component mounting apparatus. The electronic component supply apparatus includes a component depletion determining unit that determines that the electronic components are depleted in the component supply tape when a determination result of a component presence/absence determining unit is “absence” or determination results of the component presence/absence determining unit are “absence” a plurality of consecutive times; and a tape discharge processing unit that causes a component supply tape transport unit to transport the depleted component supply tape to a discharge port after a final component is picked up at a component picking-up position after the component depletion determining unit determines component depletion.
