Apparatus and method for positioning and mounting of a component in surface mount technology

A device for positioning and mounting of a component, which is connected by means of surface mount technology with its connecting surface with the connecting surface of a circuit carrier, the circuit carrier in a plane is arranged displaceably and is provided on a movable arm mounted gripper for the device, characterized in that alignment of the substrate and component each other exclusively by making measurements on the respective connecting surfaces vertical surfaces (defined as measuring surface) of the substrate and component with a Justagekamera (8), in that during the registration process of the device relative to the substrate, the component to the substrate floats on a gripper, so that the component and the substrate do not touch, that for the adjustment of the device relative to the substrate depending on a first measuring surface of the component and the substrate in a first focal plane and each have a to the first measuring surface laterally disposed second measuring surface of the substrate and the component are placed in a second focal plane of the Justagekamera (8) ...
