A method for the operation of a pick-and-place component handlers, automatic assembly machine, exchangeable component for a pick-and-place component handlers and system of a pick-and-place robot and a replaceable component

摘要

Exchangeable components (3, 5, 17) are mounted in a pick-and-place device (7) and the latter is calibrated in order to unambiguously allocate the exchanged components (3, 5, 17) and the pick-and-place device (7) in terms of their position. So far, this calibration has been carried out by placing glass plates on glass substrates that are provided with gauge marks, which is a very time-consuming method. According to the invention, the exchangeable components (3, 5, 17) are calibrated before being mounted and the geometrical data of the exchangeable components (3, 5, 17) are stored in a memory (15, 16, 18) of the exchangeable components (3, 5, 17). The control device (6) of the pick-and-place device (7) reads out the memory (15, 16, 18) once the exchangeable components (3, 5, 17) are mounted and uses said data for the placement process.
