Abstract
A transfer pathway of mounting headsin a component-mounting round during which the mounting headmoves back and forth between a component feeding unitand a substrate conveyance mechanismis derived by a transfer pathway calculation unitfor each component-mounting round from mounting program data. On the basis of data pertaining to the thus-derived transfer pathway, image data output from a line sensor camera assigned to a head transfer range segment that the transfer pathway of the mounting headcrosses in each of component-mounting rounds are selected and captured by an image selection processing unit. The image data output from the line sensor camera whose focusing point substantially matches the imaging target can be used for detecting whether or not a component still exists.
