Abstract
An apparatus for making wire connections between a first connection area and a second connection area by means of a capillary. The apparatus contains an image recognition system which is designed so that the tip of the capillary enters the image area of the image recognition system immediately before impacting on the respective connection area. In this way, the position of the desired point of impact of the capillary on the connection area as well as the position of the tip of the capillary can be determined with the same measuring system, evaluated and used for the precise control of the movement of the capillary.
