An X-Y robot having a structure that linearly deforms along an X-axis
direction and a Y-axis direction, a camera reference mark, and a control
unit are provided. The X-Y robot causes no displacement of warp or the
like and linearly deforms along only the X-axis direction and the Y-axis
direction even if heat takes effect due to continuous operation.
Therefore, if the amount of expansion and contraction of the X-Y robot
due to heat is obtained by picking-up an image of the camera reference
mark by a board recognition camera and the component placing position is
corrected on the basis of the amount of expansion and contraction, then
the electronic component can be mounted in the prescribed position or
almost in the prescribed position.
