Abstract

The invention provides an electronic parts mounting machine and an electronic parts packaging method wherein even when a system does not include driving means, such as an XY robot, for driving a mounting head, there is no possibility of causing a decrease in measurement accuracy or a need to allocate a larger space for the installation and movement of a test unit of a lead misalignment tester. When a lead misalignment test is conducted on each lead of an electronic part, a suction nozzle is rotated and, at the same time, the test unit is moved such that the test point of the test unit scans each lead of the electronic part sucked by the suction nozzle while said test point crosses said lead.
