Part mounting method, part mounting device, and recording media

摘要

There are provided a method and apparatus of component mounting capable of avoiding damages caused by production operations with the component holder having debris on it. If it is determined at the detecting step of component holding condition (#104) that a component (3) is held by a component holder (14) in improper condition for mounting, the component holder (14) releases such a component (3) into the collecting box (23) (#112), and skips pick up operation at the next round of pick up station (15). The component holder (14) is then subjected to confirming whether any debris exists by using, preferably, a condition sensor (17) (#114), and the component holder (14) picks up a new component (3) (#103) if it is confirmed that no debris exists. If debris is found at the confirming step, production operations are stopped (#116), or warning is generated. After the maintenance of the component holder (14) is completed, production operations are restarted.
