Abstract:
1. A component mounting method comprising: positioning a first mounting head section relative to a component supply section; rotating a first rotary member of said first mounting head section about a first horizontal axis, thereby successively sucking components from said component supply section via first component suction nozzles attached to said rotary member; simultaneously with the rotation of said first rotary member, using a first recognition section to recognize said components sucked by said first component suction nozzles; positioning said first mounting head section relative to a board at a board mounting position; and then intermittently rotating said first rotary member about said first horizontal axis, thereby successively mounting onto said board said components sucked by said first component suction nozzles; said method further comprising: prior to successively mounting to said board said components sucked by said first component suction nozzles, successively rotating said first component suction nozzles about respective first axes, respectively, in accordance with recognition results from said first recognition section, thereby successively adjusting postures of said components sucked by said first component suction nozzles; and when said component supply section needs to be replenished with components, replenishing said component supply section with components while
