A mounting device comprises a substrate stage, a mounting head, an elevating unit, a recognition mechanism, and a control unit. The recognition mechanism acquires position information about a chip recognition mark and a substrate recognition mark using an imaging unit. The control unit calculates an amount of positional deviation between a chip component and a substrate from the position information about the chip recognition mark and the substrate recognition mark, and performs alignment by driving the mounting head and/or the substrate stage according to the amount of the positional deviation. The chip component and the substrate are brought closer with each other and the alignment is performed in a state in which the imaging unit simultaneously images the chip recognition mark and the substrate recognition mark within a depth of field, after which the chip component and the substrate are brought into close contact with each other.
