Feeder device for feeding components into a charging device

摘要

The device has a camera (40) provided with an associated optical path (52) for recording images of an arrangement of wafers (60) at a region of a recording position. The optical path of parts of a transferring device (30) is crossed at an outside estimate during the operation of the transferring device, if a retaining unit (34) is provided at a region of the recording position. The retaining unit is moved from the recording position to a transfer position by a rotation of the transferring device. An independent claim is also included for a method for transferring components to an assembling head of a pick-and-place device by a feeder device.
