By the situation detecting means, it is possible to avoid a failure due to forgetting to hold a component in the pick-and-place operation, grasping a defect of the component, or a displacement of a reaching point. By separately providing control means for controlling the pick-and-place operation and situation detection for avoiding a failure, etc., it is not necessary to determine the situation in the control of the pick-and-place operation, so that high-speed control can be achieved. It becomes possible. On the other hand, it is only necessary for the person who performs the situation determination to detect a failure or the like and prohibit the descent of the vertical driving means provided independently of the horizontal driving means. Can be. Further, the obstacle avoidance is performed immediately before the descent by the vertical driving means, so that the obstacle can be more reliably avoided.
