Abstract
A device (150) for supplying components (197) for a placement machine (100) is described, wherein the components (197) are provided in the form of a continuous material (295). The device (150) has (a) a chassis (252); (b) a transport device (260) attached to the chassis (252) for transporting the continuous material (295) along a transport track towards a pick-up position; and (c) a cutting device (270) which is configured to cut off a section (296) at a leading end of the continuous material (295), wherein the cut-off section (296) represents a supplied component (197). Also described is a placement system (BS) having such a component supplying device (150), and a method for supplying components (197) cut off from a continuous material (295) to a placement machine.
