Patent ID: 7059043

Claim:
An electronic parts mount method for taking out electronic parts from a parts supply section by a transfer head moved by head move means and transporting and mounting the electronic parts to and on a board positioned in a board positioning section, the electronic parts mount method comprising the steps of: parts taking out for taking out the electronic parts from the parts supply section by the transfer head; image picking up for advancing image pickup means disposed in a manner that the image pickup means can advance to and retreat from the board positioning section to above the board in the board positioning section, and picking up an image of the board; solder position detecting for detecting the position of solder printed on an electrode of the board based on image data provided by picking up the image of the board; mount coordinate calculating for calculating mount coordinates in the mount operation of the electronic parts by the transfer head based on the solder position detection result; and parts mounting for controlling the head move means based on the mount coordinates for mounting the electronic parts on the board; wherein the step of image picking up is executed by the board positioning section, the step of parts taking out is executed by the parts supply section, and both of the steps are performed concurrently.
