Abstract
In a searching step, a laser beam by a laser beam projector is projected toward an object to be detected, which is previously disposed at a delivery position, while moving a holding member which is positioned apart from the object to be detected. In a delivery position data acquiring step, delivery position data is acquired by obtaining member position data provided by a member position data detecting unit when a laser beam reflected by the object to be detected is received by a laser beam receiver and calculating the delivery position data based on the member position data obtained by the member position data detecting unit.
