  • Patent number: 11304350
    Abstract: In a component mounter provided with a holding tool configured to hold leaded component, a moving device configured to move the holding tool, and an imaging device configured to image a leaded component held by the holding tool, the lengths of the pair of leads of leaded component are different. With respect to this, operation of the moving devices is controlled based on imaging data of the leaded component captured by the imaging device, and the tip section of long lead of the pair of leads of the leaded component held by the holding tool is inserted in a through-hole. Next, leaded component is moved such that short lead is positioned above a through-hole, and the short lead is inserted into the through-hole. That is, the pair of leads are inserted into the through-holes in order of proximity of the tips to circuit board, closer leads being inserted earlier.
