Abstract
An inspection method whereby, in a case in which a nozzle palette is imaged from above and light reflected by a reflection plate is not included in captured image data of a loading hole of the nozzle palette, it is determined that a suction nozzle is loaded in the loading hole. Meanwhile, in a case in which light reflected by the reflection plate is included in the captured image data of the loading hole, it is determined that a suction nozzle is not loaded in the loading hole. Further, in a case in which it is determined that a suction nozzle is loaded in the loading hole, air is ejected toward the loading hole. Then, it is redetermined whether reflected light reflected by the reflection plate is included in the captured image data of the loading hole.
