Abstract
A system for mounting electronic components on a substrate includes component holders each configured to hold an electronic components to be mounted on the substrate. A revolving device is configured to revolve the component holders along a pre-determined path so that each one of the component holders is moveable into a component receiving location for receiving a respective electronic component and/or a component mounting location for mounting the respective electronic component on the substrate. An actuator is configured to actuate a respective component holder in the component receiving location and/or the component mounting location. A safety device is configured to determine whether the respective component holder to be actuated by the actuator is properly placed in an operative position on the revolving device. The safety device is arranged separately from the actuator and is spaced apart from the actuator along the pre-determined path.
