Abstract: A load measuring device is provided with load sensor, data logger, and measurement start switch on body. When switch section is pressed down by a suction nozzle, load sensor outputs detection voltage to data logger in accordance with the size of the pressing load. Data logger records detection voltage for a specified time only from the time it starts receiving high level start recording signal from measurement start switch. By this, data logger does not record detection voltage until high level start recording signal is received from measurement start switch, thus does not incorrectly record vibrations and the like during conveyance as the load.

Abstract: In a component mounter, a gap between adjacent circular plate sections of nozzles is large enough such that a pressing roller is able to pass through in a vertical direction. Therefore, the size of a circular plate section can be made relatively small, and a rotary head can be made small. A horizontal protrusion overlaps with one or both of adjacent ring-shaped protrusions of the nozzle when viewed from above in a case in which the pressing roller is positioned between adjacent circular plate sections of nozzles. In a state with the pressing roller positioned above the gap between adjacent circular plate sections of nozzles, even if power to a Z-axis linear actuator is cut such that the raising and lowering member suddenly loses support and falls, the horizontal protrusion of the raising and lowering member engages with and stops the ring-shaped protrusion of the nozzle.
