Abstract:
1. An electronic component mounting apparatus picking up an electronic component with a suction nozzle, capturing an image of the electronic component held by the suction nozzle with a component recognition camera for a position recognition, adjusting a position of the electronic component held by the suction nozzle based on a result of the position recognition, and mounting the component on a printed circuit board, the apparatus comprising: a detecting device detecting a thickness of the electronic component held by the suction nozzle based on an output from a sensor disposed along a path of the suction nozzle; an image processing unit measuring at least a dimension of the electronic component based on the image captured by the component recognition camera; and a judging device judging whether a posture of the component held by the suction nozzle is normal or abnormal by comparing the dimension of the electronic component measured by the image processing unit with the thickness of the electronic component detected by the detecting device.
