Abstract
A suction head is inserted between first and second cameras relatively disposed facing one another with aligned optical axes, so that the first camera takes images of a head reference mark on the suction head, and the second camera of a first part suctioned to the suction head. Next, a stage is inserted between the first and second cameras so that the first camera takes images of a second part held on the stage, and the second camera of a stage reference mark thereupon. The relative positions between the first part and the suction head, and between the second part and the stage, are calculated based upon image information from the cameras, and the suction head and the stage are positioned, the first and second parts being relatively positioned based upon positional information and relative positional information from the first and second cameras, and mounting is performed.
