In a searching step, a laser beam by a laser beam projector is projected
toward an object to be detected, which is previously disposed at a
delivery position, while moving a holding member which is positioned
apart from the object to be detected. In a delivery position data
acquiring step, delivery position data is acquired by obtaining member
position data provided by a member position data detecting unit when a
laser beam reflected by the object to be detected is received by a laser
beam receiver and calculating the delivery position data based on the
member position data obtained by the member position data detecting unit.
