Abstract
A mounting head is provided with suction nozzles, image capturing cameras, and a movable mirror unit. When the mirror unit is placed at an advance position, mirrors advance into a viewing field of the image capturing cameras and refract an optical axis for image capturing, so that the image capturing cameras can capture images of tips of the suction nozzles and/or held components. When the mirror unit is placed at a retreat position, the mirrors retreat from the viewing field of the image capturing cameras, so that the image capturing cameras can capture images of component supplying positions and mounting positions.
