Abstract: A component mounting apparatus including: plural spindles respectively including nozzles, each spindle rotating about a first pivot and each nozzle picking up a component; a head body rotating about a second pivot substantially parallel to a first pivot and rotatably supporting the spindles; and a controller controlling the spindles and the head body to perform: a pickup operation in which the spindle rotates about the first pivot from an initial orientation to a pickup orientation, the nozzle picks up the component, and the spindle rotates from the pickup orientation to the initial orientation so that the component is oriented to a mounting orientation at which the component is to be mounted on a substrate; and a mounting operation in which the picked-up component is transferred to a mounting position of the substrate during which each spindle is retained at the initial orientation.
