Abstract

An IC component mounting method includes sucking each of different types of IC components at a supply position to which the IC component having an electrode-provided face thereof to be bonded to a circuit board, recognizing an image of the IC component to detect a sucking position at which a sucking nozzle does not interfere with an electrode of the IC component, detecting a height of the sucking position, positioning the sucking nozzle at the sucking position while the position of the sucking nozzle in a vertical direction is controlled, sucking the IC component by a mounting head, recognizing a position of the IC component sucked by the mounting head, and recognizing a reference position of the circuit board or an IC component-mounting position thereof, and positioning the IC component at the IC component-mounting position of the circuit board and then mounting the IC component on the circuit board.
