To correctly dispose components on a body by combining the components with a support sheet such as a label, positioning the support sheet with a labeler head in a floating manner, and bringing the body into contact with the support sheet while positioning the labeler head with the body.
A support sheet 14 forming a part support label is fed to a Bernoulli effect labeler head 48 (102), and held at a specified position of the labeler head 48 (104). Then, the labeler head 48 and the support sheet 14 are position with respect to a nest 15 with components 16 placed thereon (108), the support sheet 14 is driven with respect to the components 16 (110), and the components 16 are adhered to and held by the support sheet 14 (112). A camera body 18 is placed on the nest 15 (114), the labeler head 48 is correctly positioned with respect to the body 18 (116), the labeler head 48 is urged against the body 18 (118), and the support sheet 14 and the components 16 are assembled with the body 18.
