limit impact forces and achieve high placement accuracies.
The current approach to reduce the impact forces is to couple the gripper to the
drive unit of the placement device while leaving 1 DOF unconstrained using a
flexible part, wherein the gripper that contacts the component, has a relatively low
mass [11-19]. In this setup the drive unit will move relatively to the gripper at the
end of the component placement. During this relative motion generally also small
lateral displacements occur
