Abstract

The electronic component handling unit comprises: a main body; a rotating shaft attached to the main body; a flip head attached to the rotating shaft; and a stepping motor attached to the main body, and causing the rotating axis to rotate to invert the flip head. The flip head has: a base connected to the rotating shaft; and a plurality of pickup nozzles attached on the base in a straight line in such a manner that the alignment direction is tilted 45° with respect to the direction in which the rotating axis extends. As a result, a column of picked-up semiconductor chips can be flipped-over while simultaneously changing the alignment direction thereof with a simple constitution.

Claims (8)

1. An electronic component handling unit comprising:

a main body;

a rotating shaft attached to the main body; and

a flip head attached to the rotating shaft and in which a plurality of pickup nozzles adsorbing and holding semiconductor dice are disposed in a straight line, wherein

the plurality of pickup nozzles are arranged in a first arrangement direction or a second arrangement direction, and the first arrangement direction and the second arrangement direction are respectively inclined by about 45° with respect to a direction in which the rotating shaft extends.

2. The electronic component handling unit according to claim 1 , comprising:

a linear drive mechanism that moves the main body in a linear direction, wherein

the rotating shaft is attached to the main body so that the direction in which the rotating shaft extends is inclined by about 45° with respect to the linear direction.
