Abstract:
1. A component mounting apparatus for mounting a plurality of components in a stacked manner, comprising: a stage with a fixed height position; a mounting head adapted to releasably hold one of the components mountable in a stacked manner, to be moved downward toward the stage from a first reference height position fixedly positioned above the stage, and to sequentially mount the component held by the mounting head on an upper-most component at the stage in a stacked manner; a recognition camera capable of recognizing the component held by the mounting head and the upper-most component at the stage; and a controller for controlling the mounting head so as to repeat a mounting operation in which another one of the components is held by the mounting head and sequentially mounted on a respective upper-most component at the stage, wherein the controller comprises wherein the controller, for each mounting operation, makes the mounting head execute an alignment of the component held by the mounting head with the upper-most component at the stage based on a recognition result of the recognition camera, and then moves the mounting head downward from the first reference height position to the first target movement height to mount the component held by the mounting head on the upper-most component at the stage.
