Abstract:
1. A method for fixing a miniaturized component on a carrier plate by a solder joint, weld joint or adhesive bond, comprising the steps: gripping and holding the component by a gripper of a robot station, positioning the component with the gripper by the robot station above or on the carrier plate relative to outer reference points, producing a joint between the component and the carrier plate by soldering, welding or adhesive bonding, a joint seam being formed during the step of producing between the component and the carrier plate solidifying with shrinkage and thus exerting a tensile force on the gripper in the direction perpendicular to the carrier plate, and releasing the gripper from the component after the joint seam has substantially solidified, wherein, in the step including the producing of the joint between the component and the carrier plate, the gripper yields to the tensile force by a regulated active movement in the direction perpendicular to the carrier plate, wherein the tensile force is compensated at least partly by said regulated active movement of the gripper in the direction towards the carrier plate, wherein the movement of the gripper is regulated by a control loop, wherein a vertical actual tensile force (F wherein the vertical actual tensile force (F
