Vorrichtung für elektronische Bauteile und Verfahren für die Bestückung der elektronischen Bauteile.

摘要

An apparatus and method is disclosed for mounting electronic components for instance in a printed circuit board (6). This invention allows the mounting of various types of components using a single apparatus which take into account the fact that different types of component have different mounting tolerances. The apparatus of this invention has means for holing (4) electronic components and transporting (1) them from a delivery unit (2) to the printed circuit board. Between these two positions there is means (5) for detecting the approximate position of the component. This measurement is sufficient to allow the mounting of components which have a low mounting accuracy such as resistor or capacitor chips. The printed circuit board is moved in relation to the component to allow for the translational and rotational position of the component. There is also provided means (40) for very accurately detecting the position of the component in the case where the component is for instance a quad flat package (QFP) which has lead extending in four directions and requires a high degree of accuracy for mounting.
