A method for providing and handling different components, comprising the following steps:
- projecting at least one image of at least one component from the quantity of the different components onto a surface of a depositing unit or a surface of a conveying unit by means of at least one projector;
- depositing manually or by machine, in a manner aligned with the projected image or the projected images, the component defined by the image or the components defined by the images on the surface,
- capturing the component deposited on the surface or the components deposited on the surface by means of at least one image capturing unit,
- checking the correctness of the position of the component deposited on the surface or of the components deposited on the surface with respect to the projected image or the projected images by means of an image processing unit,
- outputting the result or the results of the checking,
- if necessary, correcting manually or by machine the position of the incorrectly situated component or of the incorrectly situated components,
- if appropriate, renewed checking and renewed outputting and renewed correcting,
- gripping and conveying further the correctly situated component or the correctly situated components by means of a manipulator.
