FIELD: radioelectronic technologies.
SUBSTANCE: invention can be used in small-size automatic surface-mounting devices. According to invention, articles from outlets of magazines are delivered onto transport surface made in form of belt and are shifted into reception unit for forming line trains of articles where articles are held till moment of taking by transfer element by means of which article is transferred for corresponding fixing on common carrier. Articles are delivered by dropping either from right-hand side or left-hand side or successively from right-hand side and left-hand side of transport belt, reception units being arranged both from right-hand side or left-hand side of transport belt. Articles are delivered into reception unit at partial turning. Orientation of fed articles is corrected after getting of article onto fixed guide whose thickness is less than thickness of article. Guide is orientated along formed line train and then article is shifted into architectural arrangement position of formed line train where it is held till moment of taking by transfer element and transfer of article onto common carrier for fixing. Units of reception and forming of line train are made in form of flat plates arranged orthogonally to front faces of fixed guides and functionally coupled with corresponding step drive.
EFFECT: improved reliability of operation of small-size automatic surface-mounting devices.
