Abstract
By means of a method, at least one component is placed on at least one substrate. The component is picked-up by at least one placement machine and is placed at a desired position on the substrate. After the component is placed on the substrate, an image of the component placed on the substrate is taken by a camera. Any difference between the actual position of the component on the substrate and a desired position of the component on the substrate is established on account of the image. The positioning of another component to be placed on the substrate takes into account any such difference.
