An installation for manually assemblying electrical and electronic components on a printed circuit board using a display device for optically identifying the respective assembly positions of the component on the board, at least one magazine with a removable position for supplying the required component and an arithmetic unit for controlling the display device and selection of the particular magazine characterized by the magazine being designed to carry all components for a large number of different printed circuit boards and an identification device which is connected to the arithmetic unit to identify the particular circuit board which is being supplied, sending a signal to the arithmetic unit to identify the board so that the arithmetic unit provides the necessary assembly program. With this improved installation, different printed circuit boards having different requirements for assembly positions and components can be assembled one after another without requiring costly delays to select new programs and supply new components.
In an installation for the manual assembly of components on a printed circuit board comprising a table with holding means for non-mistakable positioning of the printed circuit board on which the components are to be assembled, a display means for optically identifying respective assembly positions of each component on the printed circuit board held by the holding means, at least one magazine for the purpose of making available components required for each assembly operation and arithmetic means for controlling the display means and a removable position for components in each of the magazines corresponding to the specific assembly program, the improvements comprising each magazine being designed for making available all components which are required for a spectrum of PC modules to be produced, the arithmetic means having access to all assembly programs for all of the PC modules of the spectrum of PC modules to be produced and identification means connected to the arithmetic means for identifying a printed circuit board being presented and for activating the associated assembly program for the particular identified printed circuit board.
