ELECTRONIC COMPONENT MOUNTING APPARATUS AND NOZZLE PLACEMENT HISTORY DATA MANAGEMENT METHOD

An electronic component mounting apparatus and a nozzle placement history data management method for making it possible to correctly manage nozzle placement history data and ensure data reliability are provided. In an electronic component mounting apparatus for mounting an electronic component on a board with an adsorption nozzle detachably placed on a mount head, a determination section 27 detects the presence or absence of the adsorption nozzle in the mount head based on the flow rate measurement result of a flow rate sensor 24, and an again-placing detection section 38 detects that the adsorption nozzle is once removed and then is again placed by a machine operator based on the nozzle presence/absence detection result. Accordingly, when the machine operator again places adsorption nozzle by manual operation, it is made possible to cause a board recognition camera 9 to perform the identification information read operation of the adsorption nozzle as required, and the nozzle placement history data can be correctly updated and managed and data reliability can be ensured.
