In a parts mounting method having plural parts feed units, for setting aside a parts feed unit at a refill position if running short of a certain part in the process of mounting parts, and continuing parts mounting in other parts feed units, it is intended to reduce production stops due to parts shortage, and enhance the operation rate of the mounting machine. To achieve the object, the method of the invention comprises a step of judging if parts are refilled in the parts feed unit 4R at the refill position when parts shortage occurs while mounting parts in the parts feed unit 4L, a step of judging if all parts feed units 4L, 4R are out of the parts which are in shortage if parts are not refilled, and a step of mounting parts from the parts feed unit 4R at the refill position if shortage parts are present in the parts feed unit 4R at the refill position. <IMAGE> |
