Abstract
A component placement device for picking up a component and placing a component on a substrate device comprises a holder which is movable at least in a main direction, as well as a nozzle for picking up a component. The nozzle is movable at least in a direction opposite the main direction relative to the holder. The component placement device comprises a fluid flow channel which opens or closes upon movement of the nozzle in the direction opposite the main direction relative to the holder, detection means for detecting the opening or closing of the fluid flow channel as well as means for controlling the movement of the holder in at least the main direction on the basis of a signal delivered by the detection means concerning the opening or closing of the fluid flow channel.
