Abstract

A placement head for automatically placing electronic components on a component carrier. The placement head has a chassis; a first rotor assembly that is mounted so that it is rotatable relative to the chassis about a first axis of rotation and that has a first quantity of first handling devices; and a second rotor assembly that is mounted so that it is rotatable relative to the chassis about a second axis of rotation and that has a second quantity of second handling devices. Each handling device includes a sleeve to which a component holding device for temporarily picking up a component can be attached, and a drive device with a linear drive for moving the sleeve along its longitudinal axis, and a rotary drive for rotating the sleeve about its longitudinal axis. Furthermore, a placement machine with such a placement head and a method for automatic assembly of a component carrier using such a placement head.
