Abstract:
A device for recognizing a position of terminals of components, comprising:the components having optically disturbing surface structures at terminal sides thereof that proceed in two principal directions residing perpendicular to one another that proceed parallel to lateral edges of a component;the components being placeable in an active region of the device:an image transducer having an objective and at least one segmented ring light illumination:the objective having an optical axis that proceeds at least approximately through a center of the ring light illumination:the objective and the ring light illumination arranged above a location provided for the components; andthe respective component being placeable relative to the ring light illumination at least approximately centrally in an angular position wherein rays of the ring light illumination upon exclusion of angular segments lying in a region of the principal directions, are directed obliquely onto the surface of the components from all sides of the components.
