Method for fixing a workpiece to be bonded in a working area of a bonder using a clamping device, comprising an initialisation routine having the following steps: - the workpiece to be bonded and the clamping device are placed in the working area of the bonder; characterised by the following steps: - to determine the position of the workpiece to be bonded in the workspace, a characteristic (partial) contour is detected by the camera as a workpiece to be bonded and/or as a workpiece positioning mark provided on the workpiece to be bonded, and saved as workpiece reference marks; - by way of the workpiece reference marks, the position and/or orientation of the workpiece to be bonded relative to the bonder are determined; - clamping fingers (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20) of the clamping device are brought into a clamping position in such a way, and clamping faces provided on the clamping fingers (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20) of the clamping device are laid against the workpiece to be bonded in such a way, that in a following work step a connection contact can be established at predetermined connection faces of the workpiece to be bonded, without the workpiece to be bonded unacceptably being excited to oscillations and/or a collision with the clamping device occurring during the displacement and/or positioning of a workpiece to be bonded of the bonder; - the previously set-up clamping position of the clamping fingers (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20) is detected by the camera, and the clamping position relative to the position and/or orientation of the workpiece to be bonded is calculated as a clamping finger target position and saved; and by an acceptance routine having the following steps: - the workpiece to be bonded and the clamping device comprising the clamping fingers (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20) are positioned in the working area of the bonder; - a current position and orientation of the workpiece to be bonded and/or of the clamping device are detected by the camera; - by way of the current position and orientation of the workpiece to be bonded and of the clamping device, and by way of the saved clamping finger target position, an initial incorrect position of the clamping fingers (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20) is calculated and displayed; - iteratively, the current position and orientation of the clamping fingers (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20) are corrected and detected again, and a new incorrect position of the clamping fingers (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20) is calculated and displayed, until the current position and orientation of the clamping fingers (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20) correspond to the clamping finger target position. - the workpiece to be bonded and the clamping device are placed in the working area of the bonder; - to determine the position of the workpiece to be bonded in the workspace, a characteristic (partial) contour is detected by the camera as a workpiece to be bonded and/or as a workpiece positioning mark provided on the workpiece to be bonded, and saved as workpiece reference marks;
