Abstract:
1. A positioning apparatus for transferring at least one electronic component, comprising: a first flat support; a second flat support which extends parallel to the first flat support, wherein the apparatus is configured for transferring at least one electronic component from the first flat support to at least one predetermined bond location on the second flat support, a flat support element of the apparatus, positioned to provide structural support for the second flat support, a camera device configured for detecting position data of the at least one predetermined bond location and of the at least one electronic components to be removed from the first flat support; and an ejection device for removing the at least one electronic component from the first flat support by an ejection movement, wherein the camera device, the flat support element of the apparatus, the second flat support, the first flat support, and the ejection device, in this order, are arranged along a common straight line, and wherein the flat support element of the apparatus is optically transparent, and wherein at least a portion of the second flat support is optically transparent to allow the camera device to make optical contact with both the at least one electronic component to be removed and the at least one predetermined bond location.
