ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a method which is used to carry out adjusting operations on a bond head, wherein a bond head element is positioned in relation to a reference element, especially an ultrasonic tool. According to the invention, at least the surrounding area of the reference element, especially the tip of the ultrasonic tool, is optically detected by means of a camera and is displayed in an image on a display device. A marking is superimposed in the display in order to facilitate positioning. The invention also relates to an ultrasonic bonder comprising a camera which is used to support the positioning of a bond head element. Said camera can optically detect at least the area surrounding the reference element, especially the tip of the ultrasonic tool.
