Abstract
A method of placing an element onto a data carrier, where there is a placement actuator arranged to be able to secure the element. A transport layer is advanced until the element is located between the placement actuator and the data carrier in a desired position. The actuator is moved towards the data carrier so that it secures the element. The transport layer is then retracted to detach the element from it and then the placement element is moved towards the data carrier to bring the element into contact with the data carrier at the desired position.
Claims13
A method of placing an element onto a data carrier, the method comprising:
- providing a placement actuator arranged to secure the element and locate the data carrier in a known position relative to the placement actuator;
- providing a transport layer having the element detachable therefrom;
- advancing the transport layer until the element is located between the placement actuator and the data carrier in a desired position;
- displacing the placement actuator towards the data carrier until the actuator secures the element;
- retracting the transport layer after the placement actuator secures the element, so that the element is detached from the transport layer and space is provided for the placement actuator to move towards the data carrier;
- and
- displacing the placement actuator towards the data carrier to bring the element into contact with the data carrier at the desired position.
