DETERMINATION DEVICE AND COMPONENT MOUNTING APPARATUS HAVING SAME

There is provide a technique capable of mounting components efficiently in a state where multiple component feeders are attached in advance. A determination device determines a component feeder to be used from among the multiple component feeders attached to a feeder holding section. In a case where an attachment position at which the component feeder is attached and a type of component accommodated in the component feeder are acquired, and a first specific type of component supplied from a first specific component feeder and a second specific type of component supplied from a second specific component feeder are simultaneously picked up by a mounting head, when component shortage occurs in the first specific component feeder, in a case where multiple first same type component feeders are attached to the feeder holding section, the determination device determines one first same type component feeder, being attached to a position which enables simultaneous pickup with the second specific type of component supplied from the second specific component feeder, as a component feeder for supplying the first specific type of component.
