An electronic component mounting machine includes a storage section configured to store viscous fluid, a head section configured to hold an electronic component having a bump and to immerse the bump of the electronic component in the viscous fluid, an irradiation section configured to irradiate the bump, to which the viscous fluid has been transferred, with light, an imaging section configured to capture an image of the bump irradiated with light from the irradiation section, and a control device. The control device executes detection processing for detecting a transfer amount of the viscous fluid transferred to the bump based on image data captured by the imaging section, determination processing for determining whether the transfer amount is good or bad, and transfer processing for transferring the viscous fluid to the bump in accordance with the transfer amount being less than a predetermined threshold.

In component mounting device, if a rotary head held by a head holder greatly deviates from a specified reference, a CPU executes a process for a holding error. The process for the holding error includes a process of holding a rotary head again by the head holder or the like, for example. If the rotary head greatly deviates from a specified reference and the component mounting process is executed as is, there is a fear that poor precision will occur during component mounting. Therefore, the CPU does not execute the component mounting process but executes the process for the holding error.
