Abstract

A component placing device has a configuration where a plurality of nozzle shafts are moved in turn to a plurality of stations including a component holding and placing station and a component detecting station by rotating a rotating object having the plurality of nozzle shafts, in which nozzles are installed, about a rotation axis. A configuration where a flow path switcher, which selectively connects a suction path of each of the nozzles to a positive pressure source and to a negative pressure source by movement of a spool, is disposed on an inside of a corresponding one of the nozzle shafts, and air for power to drive the spool is supplied to the rotating object via a manifold, in which a communication plug for power air that comes into contact with an exterior surface of the rotating object is provided, is adopted.
