Work machine

A work machine comprising:

• a work head including a holding tool configured to pick up and hold a component, a rotating device configured to rotate the holding tool about an axis of the holding tool, a pivoting device configured to pivot the holding tool between a first attitude in which an end portion of the holding tool faces downward and a second attitude in which the end portion of the holding tool faces sideways;
• a moving device configured to move the work head;
• and
• a control device configured to control operation of the work head and the moving device, the control device including an operation control section configured to, when the working head has moved to a target position after the component has been picked up by the holding tool in the first attitude, cause the holding tool to pivot from the first attitude to the second attitude, and to cause the holding tool to rotate from a holding angle that is a rotation angle when the component was picked up to a target angle,
• wherein
• the operation control device is configured to, along with causing the holding tool to pivot from the first attitude to the second attitude, when rotating the holding tool from the holding angle to the target angle, in a case in which the component held by the holding tool will contact a portion of the work machine, perform control of operation of at least one of the rotating device or the pivoting device such that the component held by the holding tool avoids contacting a portion of the work machine.
