Methods of placing a component on a printed circuit board, and device suitable for carrying out said methods.

摘要

A method of placing a component on a printed circuit board by means of a manipulator and a device suitable for carrying out this method, whereby the position of the component is determined with an imaging device. The imaging device makes a picture of the component and of a reference member coupled to the manipulator. The position of the component relative to the manipulator can be directly determined from this picture. The positions of the manipulator and the component relative to the imaging device may also be determined.
