Abstract

The invention relates to a laying device which is used to lay wire windings on transponder units, wherein the wire is guided in an axial manner in the laying device, a contacting device is used place the wires in contact with an automatic thermal clamping arrangement, an advancing system is used to advance machining devices by means of a piezo-leg-motor, a production system is used to produce transponder units in a console structural manner. The invention also relates to a method for the production of transponder units with horizontal ultrasonic introduction and a transponder unit wherein the wire ends engage directly on the ends of the connection surfaces of the chip.

Claims (10)

1. Feed device for taking up and guiding a tool device, in particular a laying apparatus for laying a wire on a substrate and/or a contacting device for contacting the wire with a chip, comprising:

a guide carriage being movable in a first direction by means of a drive along a first guide having a first longitudinal axis substantially parallel to the first direction; and

a connection carriage for taking up the tool device, the connection carriage being movable in the first direction along a second guide having a second longitudinal axis substantially parallel to the first direction, wherein the first and second longitudinal axes are the same, whereby

the guide carriage and the connection carriage are mechanically coupled together by a load gauge, in particular a force gauge, and is such that the displacement of the guide carriage along the first guide is substantially equivalent to the movement of the connection carriage along the second guide.

2. Feed device according to claim 1 , wherein the load gauge is a strain-gauge sensor.

3. Feed device according to claim 1 , wherein the drive is a piezoelectric drive.

4. Feed device according to claim 2 , wherein the piezoelectric drive is a piezo-leg drive, wherein at least one finger is piezoelectrically activated in order to move a ceramic plate slide being coupled to the guide carriage and so move the guide carriage along the first guide.

5. Feed device according to claim 1 , wherein the first guide and the second guide are one single guide.

6. Feed device according to claim 1 , wherein the load gauge has damping characteristics and compensates for overshooting of the drive by approximately 100 μm in the longitudinal direction.

7. Feed device according to claim 1 , wherein the load gauge is used to measure the pressure applied on the tool device and transmitted to the connection carriage, so that a control system for the drive can be acted on for regulation purposes.
