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.

A method of placing at least one component on at least one substrate, the method comprising the steps of:
- placing a first component on a substrate,
- imaging the first component placed on the substrate;
- determining, using the image of the first component, if any difference exists between an actual position of the first component on the substrate and a predetermined desired position of the first component on the substrate;
- and
- placing a second component at another desired position on the substrate, while taking into account any such difference.
A method of placing at least one component on at least one substrate, the method comprising the steps of:
- placing a plurality of first components at substantially the same positions on corresponding substrates,
- imaging the first components placed on the substrates;
- determining, using the images of the first components, if any difference(s) exists between an actual position of each of the first components on the corresponding substrate and predetermined desired positions of each of the first components on the corresponding substrate;
- and
- placing at least one second component at another desired position on one of the substrates, while taking into account any such difference.
A method of placing at least one component on at least one substrate, the method comprising the steps of:
- placing a plurality of first components on a substrate,
- imaging the first components placed on the substrate;
- determining, using the images of the first components, if any difference(s) exists between an actual position of each of the first components on the substrate and a predetermined desired position of each of the first components on the substrate;
- and
- placing a second component at another desired position on the substrate, while taking into account any such difference.
A system for placing at least one component on at least one substrate, the system comprising:
- at least one placement machine comprising a processor;
- and
- an imaging device interfaced with the placement machine,
- wherein the imaging device is configured to image a first component positioned on a substrate by the placement machine, and
- wherein the processor is configured to determine, using the image of the first component positioned on the substrate, if any difference exists between an actual position of the first component on the substrate and a desired position of the first component on the substrate.
