A device for fitting substrates with electric components includes a stationary carrier supporting a positioning device. The carrier is arranged above at least two fitting stations that are located one after the other in a conveying direction. A chassis of the device includes end supports and central supports that are connected to the carrier.

Device for fitting substrates with electric components

A turret-like insertion head having at least one twisting device for mounting electrical components. The insertion head has a stator, a rotor and an optical measuring device. A plurality of circularly distributed grippers are mounted on the rotor such that the grippers can rotate about a mounting axis. The optical measuring device detects the position of the components held on the grippers, and as a result, a component can be twisted into its approximate mounting position during forward movement of the gripper before making a final position measurement, thereby saving time.

Insertion head with a twisting device for electrical components

An apparatus for handling electrical components is provided with a head. The head may include at least one gripper and a storage element which can be filled with the electrical components. The head may move over the substrate, and the gripper may remove components from the storage element and place them onto the substrate.

Apparatus for handling electrical components

The transport wheel of the feed device is driven by a drive motor in such a manner that one revolution of the drive motor produces a transport movement of the tape which corresponds to a fraction of the pitch of the component compartments in the tape. Before the drive motor has completed a predetermined number of revolutions, a stop is applied, which stops the motor exactly when the next complete revolution has been completed.
