Abstract
A solder supply device is provided with a solder cup housing liquid solder that is cylindrical and open at one end; a nozzle section, for ejecting solder from the solder container, that is inserted into the solder container; a flange section that is provided on an outer circumferential section of the nozzle section and that is engaged inside of the solder cup; solder supplied from the tip of the nozzle section by the solder cup being moved; a magnet provided in the outer circumferential surface of the solder cup; and magnetic sensors able to detect the approaching of the magnet are provided at a position facing the outer circumferential surface of the solder container. Based on the positions of the magnet and the sensor, the post-movement position of the solder container is detected. Thus, it can be detected that solder has run out from inside the solder cup.
