Abstract
The invention relates to an assembly device for microcomponents that are disposed in a magazine. The inventive assembly device does not require any optical systems and allows for an exact positioning of the microcomponents. The assembly will also be unaffected by any position changes of the microcomponents caused by wastage. The assembly device is provided with mechanical alignment devices that engage with or act upon adjustment structures of the magazine. The assembly device further comprises clamping devices for fixing the magazine and at least one plunger for ejecting at least one microcomponent from the magazine. An assembly platform is provided in the upper tool or in the lower tool of the assembly device and receives the microcomponents in a defined position. The invention further relates to a method for assembling microcomponents and to a corresponding magazine.
