Abstract

In a component mounter, a cut and clinch unit is arranged below a circuit board that is conveyed by a conveyance device, and the cut and clinch unit can be moved to a given position by a moving device. When imaging a fiducial mark of the circuit board using an imaging device, the cut and clinch unit is moved such that an identification assistance sticker arranged on the cut and clinch unit is positioned as the background to the fiducial mark. The color of the circuit board surrounding the fiducial is white and the color of the identification assistance sticker is black. Thus, the outline of the fiducial mark is clear and the fiducial mark can be appropriately recognized based on the image data.
