Abstract

A method for profiling the shape of a component using a line sensor (110) which is provided in a component mounter (100) and which profiles the shape of the component (200) three-dimensionally by (a) projecting a sweeping light onto the component (200) in a relative movement between the line sensor (110) and the component (200) held by a mounting head (103) so that the sweeping light traverses the direction of the movement and (b) detecting the reflected light from the component using a detector (119). The method includes getting the component (200) from the component supply unit 101 using the mounting head (103), rotating the component (200) by a predetermined angle within a predetermined surface, and profiling the shape of the rotated component using the line sensor (110).
