Fully automated assembly and contacting of electrical components

A method for assembling and contacting electrical components which have electrical connections and handling locations by an assembly facility, said method comprising:

• providing a control facility of the assembly facility with stored information associated with a component before the component supplied to the assembly facility is gripped, said information having a uniform data structure across all components,
• wherein, in relation to a component coordinate system of the component, the information associated with the component comprises position, orientation and a relevant length for the electrical connections of the component and at least one of a position, a type of handling and an orientation for the handling locations, wherein, in relation to a machine coordinate system of the assembly facility, a position and an orientation of the component are known to the control facility;
• converting with the control facility the positions and orientations defined by the information associated with the component into the machine coordinate system based on the position and the orientation of the component in the machine coordinate system;
• actuating the assembly facility in a context of gripping and assembling the component, wherein the control facility takes into account the type and the positions converted into the machine coordinate system and, if present, also the orientations of the handling locations of the component converted into the machine coordinate system;
• and
• actuating the assembly facility in a context of electrically connecting the electrical connections of the component, wherein the control facility takes into account the positions and orientations converted into the machine coordinate system and the relevant lengths of the electrical connections of the component.
