Claim 6:
7. A control method for a mounting device comprising a mounting head that holds multiple pickup members, each of which being configured to pick up a component; a rotating body that turns the multiple pickup members when rotated, the multiple pickup members being disposed at predetermined intervals along a predetermined circumference of the rotating body; and a moving section configured to move the mounting head, the method comprising steps of:
executing a forward rotation pickup processing that rotates the rotating body forwards and causes the pickup members to pick up the components from a supply section for supplying the components, and
when at least one of the pickup members is a vacant pickup member resulting from an error of not holding the component, executing a backward rotation pickup processing that rotates the rotating body backwards and a causes the vacant pickup member to pick up the component from the supply section,
wherein the mounting device further comprises a detecting section configured to detect a situation in which the pickup member, which is caused to pick up the component, does not hold the component as the error, and
wherein the vacant pickup member is determined to exist based on the error from the detecting section.
