Abstract:
1. A method suitable for placing at least one component in a desired position on at least one substrate by means of a device, wherein the device comprises a displaceable arm on which at least two placement devices and at least two image recording devices are provided, wherein the at least two image recording devices are separated from each other by a certain pitch distance, wherein the at least two placement devices are separated from each other by substantially the same pitch distance, wherein said image recording devices and placement devices are separated from each other by one said pitch distance or a multiple thereof, the method comprising the steps of: recording, using at least one of the image recording devices, an image of at least one reference element located on a substrate; determining, by processing said image, the location of the desired position relative to the reference element; placing, using at least one of the placement devices, the component in the desired position on the substrate while the at least one image recording device records the image of at least one reference element located on a substrate.
