A component suctioning method for a component mounting machine, the component mounting machine including multiple component supplying devices each configured to feed out a component to a component supply position;
- a head comprising multiple nozzles each configured to suction a component;
- a head moving robot configured to move the head to cause the nozzles to face the respective component supply positions with two or more thereof, a camera on the head moving robot movable with the head, and nozzle lifting and lowering devices each including a motor configured to lift and lower the nozzles facing the respective component supply positions, the component suctioning method comprising:
- positioning the nozzles so as to face the respective component supply positions;
- imaging a reference mark of each of the multiple component supplying devices with the camera,
- determining a coordinate position of a center of the component of each of the component supplying devices based on a coordinate position of the reference mark of each of the multiple component supplying devices,
- prioritizing a positional correction of a nozzle facing a smallest sized component in the components supplied to the component supply positions based on the coordinate position of the center of the smallest sized component;
- correcting the position of the multiple nozzles by at least rotating the head based on the positional correction of the nozzle facing the smallest sized component;
- and
- causing the nozzles facing the respective component supply positions to suction the respective components simultaneously.
