Device and method for the electrical testing of an electrical component

A method of electrical testing of an electrical component, wherein the electrical component comprises at least one electrical contact point, the method comprising:

• providing the electrical component at an interface;
• picking-up the electrical component at the interface using an effector of a first robot manipulator;
• carrying the component using the first robot manipulator along a predefined trajectory to a receiving interface, wherein a target orientation Osoll(RT) is defined for the electrical component along a trajectory T for positions RT of the trajectory T;
• inserting the electrical component into the receiving interface using the first robot manipulator, wherein the first robot manipulator makes force controlled and/or impedance controlled and/or admittance controlled rotational and/or tilting movements of the electrical component and/or translational movement patterns and/or desired force screw patterns of the electrical component during insertion of the electrical component into the receiving interface, until a predefined limit value state G1 for a torque acting on the effector of the first robot manipulator and/or a predefined limit value state G2 for a force acting on the effector is reached or exceeded, and/or until an allocated force/torque signature and/or a position/speed/acceleration signature is reached or exceeded on the effector, indicating that the insertion of the electrical component into the receiving interface within predefined tolerances has been successfully completed;
• establishing an electrical contact between the at least one contact point on the component and at least one electrical counter contact arranged on a contacting device;
• executing electrical testing of the electrical component and providing and/or issuing a test result using an analysis unit connected to the at least one counter contact;
• and
• removing the electrical component inserted into the receiving interface using the first robot manipulator, carrying the component from the receiving interface to a predefined set-down position by the first robot manipulator, and releasing the component at the set-down position.

A computer system for electrical testing of an electrical component, wherein the electrical component comprises at least one electrical contact point, the system comprising:
