An electronic component reel set includes a first electronic component reel and a second electronic component reel. The first electronic component reel includes first electronic components each having a first characteristic value falling in a predetermined range above a reference characteristic value, a first electronic component package that stores the first electronic components linearly, a first reel body in which the first electronic component package is wound, and a first indicator portion indicating the first characteristic value. The second electronic component reel includes second electronic components each having a second characteristic value falling in a predetermined range below the reference characteristic value, a second electronic component package that stores the second electronic components linearly, a second reel body in which the second electronic component package is wound, and a second indicator portion indicating the second characteristic value.

A method for manufacturing a carrier tape housing a plurality of electronic components with seal materials includes forming housing holes in tape-shaped main body with first and second principal surfaces along a longitudinal direction of the tape-shaped main body, the housing holes penetrating from the first principal surface to the second principal surface, affixing an adhesive layer of a tape-shaped seal material to the second principal surface of the tape-shaped main body to cover the housing holes, forming cuts in the tape-shaped seal material to separate portions defining and functioning as the seal materials including portions at least partially overlapping with the respective housing holes in a planar view from the other portions, and providing chip-shaped electronic component into each of the housing holes of the tape-shaped main body and fixing the electronic component to the adhesive layer of the seal material exposed in each of the housing holes.

A tape-and-reel system for processing components is disclosed. In the embodiment, the tape-and-reel system includes a first carrier tape reel for holding unloaded carrier tape, a component loading system for loading components into pockets of the unloaded carrier tape, an air-guided cover tape feeder through which cover tape travels, an alignment tool for guiding the cover tape into alignment with the loaded carrier tape and adhering the cover tape to the loaded carrier tape to secure the components into the loaded carrier tape, and a second carrier tape reel for holding the loaded carrier tape.

A work machine includes a control device including a lead position detecting section to detect a lead position which is positions of a pair of leads based on imaged data imaged by an imaging device, a first detecting region setting section to set, based on the lead position detected by the lead position detecting section, a first detecting region outside the pair of leads including a part of a bottom section outside the pair of leads, a second detecting region outside the pair of leads, being opposed to the first detecting section across the pair of leads including a part of the bottom section, and a polarity determining section configured to determine the polarity of the pair of leads based on whether the mark portion exists in each of the first detecting region and the second detecting region.

An apparatus for securing electronic devices on a carrier for storing electronic devices during transportation of the electronic devices on the carrier has a guiding track for guiding motion of the carrier when the carrier receives electronic devices. A magnetic track located adjacent to the guiding track attracts the electronic devices onto the carrier with a magnetic attraction force. In particular, the magnetic track has a support surface facing the carrier that has a smaller width than a width of a portion of the magnetic track that is spaced from the support surface.
