Abstract:
An electronic component mounting apparatus comprising:a component feeding section (4) for feeding an electronic component (2) to be mounted onto a board;a head section (7) for holding the electronic component (2) fed from the component feeding section (4);a head section-moving device (5,6) for moving the head section (7) holding the electronic component (2);a three-dimensional image-acquiring device (8), provided at a position below a moving range of the head section (7), for performing, with a laser beam, line scanning the component (2) held by the head section (7) to obtain, from each scanning line, positional data of a position where the component is present and height data of the component (2) corresponding to the positional data;an image memory (35) for storing the height data obtained from the three-dimensional image-acquiring device (8) as three-dimensional image data; anda control section (21) for performing image processing for the three-dimensional image data of the electronic component (2), and mounting the component onto the board based on the obtained height data and the obtained positional data of the position, and result of the image processing for the three-dimensional image data.
