Component mounter and mounting method

摘要

A component mounter which includes a component feeder carriage; mounting head having two or more suction nozzles for picking up a component from the feeder carriage; image capturing means for taking an image of each component held by the suction nozzles; and a recognizer for recognizing each component based on image data obtained by the image capturing means according to a mounting sequence of each component. Each component is immediately and individually mounted on a mounting target after recognition. This configuration allows to eliminate wasteful standby time, thus offering efficient component mounting.
