Abstract
A method and a placement machine for equipping a carrier with components. The procedure includes: (a) positioning of the carrier in a first spatial location within the placement machine, such that components in a first section of the carrier are placeable by a placement head of the placement machine; (b) placement, by means of the placement head, of a multitude of marker components on the carrier in an overlap area of the carrier; (c) transferring of the carrier along a transport direction into a second spatial location within the placement machine, the second spatial location being selected such that components in a second section of the carrier are placeable by the placement head and that the marker components placed in the overlap area are optically detectable by a camera; (d) second optical detection by means of the camera of the marker components placed in the overlap area; and (e) placement of a multitude of components on the carrier in predefined placement positions within the second section, the spatial locations of the placement positions on the carrier depending at least on the result of the second optical detection of the placed marker components.
