ABSTRACT:
A component tape transport wheel, a component tape transport system and a method of operating a component tape transport system are provided, in which there is a rigid coupling between a transport wheel and an encoder wheel which is arranged on the transport wheel and whose position relative to a sensor can be determined. By this rigid coupling between the transport wheel which moves the component tape and a registration system including an encoder wheel and sensor for registering the position of the transport wheel, it is possible to register the position of the transport wheel at any time with the greatest accuracy. Even after a component tape transport system has been switched off, a determination of the absolute position of the transport wheel is possible, since the distance between two encoder elements of the encoder wheel is less than any play possibly caused by a drive of at least one of the transport wheel and an associated gear mechanism.
