Abstract
A device ( ) for implementing a method for setting on a substrate ( ) interconnecting balls or preforms ( ) comprising the following phases: storing in bulk the preforms ( ); seizing in ordered position the preforms ( ) with an adapted gripping device ( ); setting the preforms ( ) on the substrate ( ) with the gripping device ( ). Said device ( ) is charaterized in that it consists of at least a matrix for storing the preforms, said matrix comprising a floor capable of acting as stop for the preforms when the matrix is being filled thereby enabling the implementation of a method whereby the passage from bulk storage to ordered storage is performed in masked time. The device is useful for incorporating or replacing balls in substrates of electronic components.
