摘要

An apparatus for placing electrical components on a circuit board, having a placement unit and a feed unit for feeding the components thereto. The feed unit contains a magazine with an associated identification medium and a monitoring unit. Component-related data is stored in the identification medium. The monitoring unit is used to compare the component-related data with placement-related data which are predetermined by a central data processing unit to effect an accurate match between the two.
