Abstract:
1. An electronic component mounting apparatus, comprising: a component feeding unit having a storage tape comprising storage portions in which electronic components are stored and feeding the electronic components to a component pickup position; a suction nozzle picking up one of the electronic components from a corresponding storage portion advanced to the component pickup position by the component feeding unit and mounting the electronic component on a printed board; a component recognition camera taking an image of the electronic component picked up by the suction nozzle; a storage portion recognition camera taking an image of one of the storage portions; and control device is configured to calculate a first positional shifting amount base on the image taken by the component recognition camera of the electronic component, to instruct the storage portion recognition camera to take an image of a storage portion storing another electronic component to be picked up when the first positional shifting amount of the electronic component preceding said another electronic component is more than a first predetermined value and to instruct the storage portion recognition camera not to take an image of a storage portion storing another electronic component to be picked up when the first positional shifting amount is smaller than or equal to the first predetermined value, wherein the first predetermined value is a shifting amount from a proper position of the electronic component to be properly mounted onto the printed board.
