AI Technical Summary
Technical Problem
Existing devices for marking electrical components require high control effort and are prone to positioning errors due to unknown mass distributions and complex movement sequences, leading to increased costs and reduced precision.
Method used
The device employs a laser head guided along an orbital path around a receiving device, utilizing a first guide element to simplify movement sequences and account for known mass distributions, reducing control effort and minimizing positioning errors.
Benefits of technology
This approach enables precise and cost-effective marking of electrical components by minimizing control effort, reducing space requirements, and avoiding marking errors, while maintaining flexibility for various component designs and orientations.

Abstract
The invention relates to an apparatus (10) and a method for marking a group (110) of electrical components (115). For this purpose, a holding device (15) for retaining the group (110) of electrical components (115) in a row direction (20), a marking device (25) which has a laser head (30) for emitting a laser beam (35) for applying a marking to the group (110) of electrical components (115) retained by the holding device (15), a movement device (40) for generating relative movements between the laser head (30) and the holding device (15) in order to arrange the laser head and the holding device in a marking position relative to one another for the application of the marking, and a control device (45) for controlling the movement device (40) for the relative movement between the laser head (30) and the holding device (15) are provided. The movement device (40) has at least one first guide element (50) which is configured and designed to guide the movement of the laser head (30) along an orbital movement path (55) around the holding device (15).
