Abstract:
1. A component placing apparatus configured to transport a component, supplied from a component supply portion, by sucking the component using a movable placing head and to place the component onto a placement portion spaced apart by a predetermined distance, characterized by comprising: a suction position imaging device provided to be movable independently of the placing head for taking an image of the component before the placing head sucks the component from the component supply portion; and a controller for systematically controlling operations of the placing head and the suction position imaging device and for moving the placing head to a position of the component during the component suction on the basis of imaging data of the component obtained in advance through imaging by the suction position imaging device, wherein the controller checks a correlation of respective coordinate systems of the placing head and the suction position imaging device at predetermined timing and corrects an amount of movement when the placing head accesses the component in the component supply portion on the basis of the correlation; and the component placing apparatus is a component mounting apparatus that transports a component supplied from the component supply portion and mounts the component on a substrate using the placing head.
