2 has an R side (a 1 ) and an acute angle side (a 2 ) as shown in FIG. 2, and seeds in a certain direction are selected by discriminating between the R side and the acute angle side. That is, the seed width is detected every few milliseconds, and the point (inflection point) at which the seed width changes from decreasing to increasing is set as a seed delimiter, and whether the seed width at the inflection point is a certain value or more. The R side (a 1 ) and the acute angle side (a 2 ) are discriminated from each other. As shown in FIG. 3, the supply path (5) is fed from the parts feeder (4) in a state where the R side and the acute angle side are crossed. An optical sensor (6) such as a photo array shown in FIG. Use to determine. The photo array has a shape in which several ON and OFF sensors are arranged, and its resolution is identified by the number of sensors in the ON state shown in FIG. 6 or 7.

When the photo array is turned on and started (10), the seed width is detected every few milliseconds and whether or not the seed width is increasing ( If it is increasing in 12), the seed width detection (11) is continued, and whether or not the seed width is decreasing (1
If the seed width is decreasing in 4), the seed width detection (13) is continued. In other words, if the seed width is not decreasing, in other words, at the point where the seed width changes from decreasing to increasing, it is determined whether the seed end width is a certain value or more (1
5) is detected, and if it is a certain value or more, it is the R side (17) that is currently detected. When the end width of the seed is not equal to or larger than a certain value, what is currently detected is the acute angle side (16).
