Electronic device, control method, and control program

A wire bonding method and apparatus comprising a comparator wherein a difference between a position command signal for displacing a moving member such as, for example, a wire bonding tool, and a position signal obtained from a sensor for detecting the position of the moving member is compared with a predetermined threshold or reference value so that a stopping of the moving member, caused by an external force such as a contact therewith with another member can be rapidly and accurately electrically detected. A wire bonding method and apparatus is useable for producing a semiconductor device.
