A component mounter includes a side imaging camera that is provided to be integral with the placing head having a plurality of suction nozzles, that moves relatively with respect to the plurality of suction nozzles, and thereby that images, from a side, peripheral regions of front ends of the plurality of suction nozzles, respectively, in order. Incidentally, a component presence/absence determiner (determiner) determines the presence or absence of a component sucked on the front end of the suction nozzle, based on primary image data obtained by the side imaging camera and the calculator calculates a thickness of the component sucked on the front end of the suction nozzle, based on secondary image data obtained by the side imaging camera.
