An apparatus for the linear positioning and for the position recognition of a substrate, comprising a linear transport for conveying the substrate, a sensor whose sensor field is set to a freely selectable braking position along the conveying path of a substrate feature of the substrate, and a controller connected to the linear transport and to the sensor for decelerating and stopping the linear transport, so that the substrate feature comes to rest in an onserting position.

An entire contact row of an SMD component is illuminated by a light source direction in the direction of the contact row, and a shadow of the entire contact row is directed by a linear sensor. A shift of the contact row perpendicular to a contact surface formed by the contact row effects a shift of the position of the shadow on the linear sensor and also effects a modification of the expanse of the shadow. By identifying the minimum expanse of the shadow, a criterion for the co-planarity of the contact row derives from the minimum expanse itself and an indicator about the slanting attitude of the component derives from the position having the minimum expanse.

An apparatus for attaching a cable to a messenger wire utilizing clip elements characterized by a frame having an arrangement for supporting the apparatus for movement along the wire, a feed arrangement for feeding individual clips which are interconnected in a tape form to a severing shearing arrangement and then applying the clips onto the cable and wire positioned below the cable and wire, a double-belt drive arrangement for engaging the free ends of the outside of the clips and moving the free ends in contact with the messenger wire, a folding arrangement for clamping the free ends of the wire together and folding them into a folded connection.
