A recognition device includes an imaging device that images a tip of the lead of a lead component multiple times at different shutter speeds, and multiple pieces of captured image data corresponding to the multiple times of imaging are generated. Then, it is determined whether the tip position of the lead is recognizable based on each of the multiple pieces of captured image data, and a shutter speed between the fastest shutter speed and the slowest shutter speed among the shutter speeds at the time of imaging according to the pieces of captured image data, which are determined to be recognizable, is determined as the optimum shutter speed. By determining the optimum shutter speed in this manner, the exposure light amount at the time of imaging can be stabilized regardless of the shape of the tip of the lead, and the tip position of the lead can be appropriately recognized.
