However, if the electronic component 12 stored in the component storage unit 4 runs out of parts due to this mounting operation, the operator inserts the part supply cassette 3 in which the parts have run out into parts. After removing from the supply unit 2 and replacing and installing a new component storage unit 4 for replenishment in the component supply cassette 3, the component supply cassette 3 is returned to the original position in the component supply unit 2 of the component mounting apparatus. After that, the component exchange switch (not shown) in the component mounting apparatus is pressed to input the information on the exchange of the component storage unit 4 into the component mounting apparatus. As a result, the component mounting apparatus recognizes that the new electronic component 12 has been replenished,
The subsequent mounting operation is controlled based on the information.

As shown in FIG. 13, a component supply method capable of increasing the operating rate of the component mounting apparatus by replacing the component storage unit 4 without removing the component supply cassette 3 from the component supply unit 2 of the component mounting apparatus is adopted. Has been done. That is,
As shown in FIG. 4A, in the state where the component storage section 4 of the component supply cassette 3 that is performing the component supply operation has not run out of components, as shown in FIG. Without removing the main body of the component from the component supply unit 2 of the component mounting apparatus, only the component storage unit 4 is removed,
The terminal end portion 15b of the taping component 15 attached to the removed component storage portion 4 and the starting end portion 15a of the taping component 15 of the new component storage portion 4 for connection are connected to each other, and as shown in FIG. As shown, the parts storage unit 4 for replenishment

把握して管理することが必要となる。By the way, in the automobile industry in which the quality of the circuit board 11 on which the electronic components 12 are mounted is very important, for example, lot management of the electronic components 12 mounted on the circuit board 11, that is, the component storage section 4 is performed. It is desired to manage the electronic component 12 with one wound taping component 15 as a unit. Therefore, in the component mounting device,
Taping component 15 of component storage unit 4 being used for mounting operation
From electronic component 12 to taping component 15 for replenishment
It is necessary to reliably and accurately grasp and manage the time when the electronic component 12 is switched to.

置の稼働率が低下する欠点がある。However, in the conventional method of supplying the electronic components 12, the operator removes the component supply cassette 3 with the missing component from the component mounting apparatus and attaches a new component supply cassette 3 for replenishment. Since the information of the component replacement is input by pressing the component replacement switch after the component supply cassette 3 is replaced, it is possible to accurately grasp and easily manage the time when the component mounting apparatus switches to the supplementary taping component 15. Although possible, there is a drawback that the operating rate of the component mounting apparatus is reduced.

While having the advantage that the operating rate of the component mounting apparatus can be increased, the operator connects the starting end portion 15a of the taping component 15 of the component storage portion 4 for replenishment to the terminal end portion 15b of the taping component 15 in use. Since the timing of replenishment is different from the timing of actually switching the electronic component 12 of the taping component 15 in use to the electronic component 12 of the taping component 15 of the component storage portion 4 for replenishment, the circuit board 11
There is a problem that the electronic components 12 mounted on the upper part cannot be lot-managed in units of the taping components 15 of one component storage unit 4.
