PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a holding system for a mounting head in which it is not necessary to constitute a mounting head guide device especially strongly and even with an asymmetric mounting head support, a component can be mounted onto a substrate extremely accurately and in a planar parallel manner with a high mounting strength and high throughput.SOLUTION: A kinematic holding system for a mounting head 2 of a mounting apparatus comprises a mounting head aligning device including at least one holding member of a variable length which is disposed between a mounting head support 1 and the mounting head 2 while being spaced apart from a joint 4' by a certain distance. The holding member determines a rotating position of the mounting head 2 with respect to the mounting head support 1. The length of the holding member is variable in accordance with deformation of a mounting head guide device caused by a pressure of the mounting head 2 to a substrate 3 so as to cancel an axial error (tilting) of the mounting head 2 caused by the deformation of the mounting head guide device during a mounting operation. |
