3 results about "Rest position" patented technology

A placement head (4) comprises a holding device (10) for holding components (11) and is received on a housing (9) so as to be displaced in a direction of displacement between a rest position and a working position, the rest position and the working position being interspaced by a travel path (Delta z) in the direction of displacement.; The placement head also comprises a readjusting mechanism (12) with a permanent magnet (14) which is magnetized at a right angle to the direction of displacement, a magnetic return path element (15) which interacts with the permanent magnet (14) in such a manner as to generate magnetic flux, the permanent magnet (14) being displaceable by the travel path (Delta z) in the direction of displacement relative to the magnetic return path element (15), and the magnetic return path element (15) comprising at least two sections (A, B) of different magnetic resistance in the direction of displacement and being configured in such a manner that the permanent magnet (14) overlaps at least two sections (A, B) at a time of the magnetic return path element (15) when it is displaced across the travel path (Delta z).; The readjusting mechanism (12) is coupled to the housing (9) and the holding device (10) in such a manner that the readjusting mechanism (12) exerts a readjusting force (F) on the holding device (10) across the travel path (Delta z), said readjusting force forcing the holding device (10) into the rest position.
