<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an electronic component mounting apparatus and a method, for managing nozzle mounting history data, with and by which nozzle mounting history data can be correctly managed and data reliability can be ensured. <P>SOLUTION: The electronic component mounting apparatus mounts an electronic component on a substrate by a suction nozzle removably mounted on a mounting head. Whether there is a suction nozzle or not on the mounting head is detected by a determining section 27, based on flow rate measuring results obtained from a flow rate sensor 24. The electronic component mounting apparatus has a remounting detecting section 38 which detects that the suction nozzle is remounted by a machine operator after having been removed once, based on the nozzle existence detection results. Thus, when the suction nozzle is remounted by the machine operator by manual operation, readout operation of identification information of the suction nozzle can be performed by a plate recognition camera 9 as needed, and data reliability is ensured by correctly updating and managing the nozzle mounting history data. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT |
