Abstract
A workpiece position determination device includes an imager, a driver to move the imager relative to a workpiece in a planar direction parallel to a planar surface of the imager, a controller to control the driver so that the imager moves along a prescribed trajectory that passes through locations in a boundary portion in the planar surface in a plan view, a storage to store image information captured by the imager while the imager moves along the prescribed trajectory, and coordinate information of the imager at a time of capturing each image information, a position determiner to determine the position of the workpiece in the planar direction corresponding to the boundary portion based on the image information and the coordinate information stored in the storage, and an offset determiner to determine an offset of the workpiece from a reference position based on a determination result from the position determiner.
