Abstract
An electronic parts mounting apparatus for divisionally recognizing an electronic part ( ) even when the apparatus is arranged in such that the relative positional relation between a recognition camera ( ) and a nozzle ( ) cannot be varied. The electronic part ( ) is vacuum-clamped by a nozzle ( ), the posture of the nozzle ( ) or the posture of the electronic part ( ) is changed a plurality of times by a rotary driving member ( ), and a part of the electronic part ( ) imaged by the recognition camera ( ) every time the posture of the electronic part ( ) is changed, whereby the part is recognized. Thus, the recognition of the contour of the electronic part ( ) becomes possible, and the electronic part can be mounted accurately on a circuit board by making a positional correction on the basis of the amount of deviation obtained.
