PURPOSE: To improve the response of sucking and releasing of sucking and to mount an electronic component at a high speed by recognizing the position, shape of the component to be sucked by a suction nozzle through the nozzle and a light transmission plate, and forming a suction chamber partitioned by the plate adjacent to the nozzle.
CONSTITUTION: A mounting head 30 is disposed above the sucking position of a component supply unit 32, and the shape of an electronic component P of sucked position is recognized by a recognition camera 23 through a suction nozzle 1 made of a light transmission material and a light transmission plate 5. If the shape of the component P is proper, a moving table 31 is moved down, and the component P is sucked by the nozzle 1. In this case, the upper end of a suction cylinder 3 is shielded by this plate 5 to partition a suction chamber 6, and a plurality of suction openings 7 are formed at a suitable interval circumferentially on the peripheral sidewall. Thus, the capacity of a suction passage is reduced, the response of suction and release of the suction is improved, and a high speed mounting is performed.
