Kinematic holding system for a placement head of a placement apparatus

Kinematic holding system for a placement head of a placement apparatus for mounting electronic or optical components on a substrate, comprising:

• a placement head guide device which comprises a placement head support for holding the placement head;
• and
• a placement head alignment device for adjusting an alignment of the placement head relative to the placement head support, wherein:
• the placement head alignment device comprises a solid joint via which the placement head is supported in an inclination-adjustable way on the placement head support,
• the solid joint comprises at least one solid joint element with at least one first solid joint arm which is rigidly connected to the placement head support, and at least one second solid joint arm which is rigidly connected to the placement head and elastically connected to the at least one first solid joint arm,
• the at least one second solid joint arm is elastically deformable in relation to the at least one first solid joint arm depending on a deformation of the placement head guide device caused by a pressing force of the placement head against the substrate in such a way that an axis error of the placement head caused by the deformation of the placement head guide device is compensated.
