Abstract

An automated circuit board assembly system includes at least one movable circuit board receiver that is equipped with an empty circuit board or a hybrid circuit which is transported towards an uptake location at which components are assembled to the board, and an uptake mechanism positioned at the uptake location which detects the circuit board position in preparation for the assembly process. An alignment device positions the circuit board receiver in a predetermined directional position at the uptake location.
