Abstract: A method for delivering components in feeder cassettes to at least one placement device by a delivery system, the method includes the following method steps: Detection of a mandatory exchange period (t1) for each of the feeder cassettes by the delivery system, Comparison of the recorded mandatory exchange periods (t1), wherein time conflicts (K) between the recorded mandatory exchange periods (t1) are determined by the delivery system during the comparison, Determination of an optional exchange period (t2) for at least one of the feeder cassettes with a determined time conflict (K) by the delivery system, Delivery of components in feeder cassettes to the at least one placement device within the at least one optional exchange period (t2) by the delivery system.

Abstract: A magazine (200) is described for portion-wise receiving individualized bulk electronic components (298). The magazine (200) comprises (a) a receiving structure (110) which comprises multiple closable receiving cavities (112, 112a), which are arranged along a longitudinal axis (100a) of the receiving structure (110); (b) a cover structure (120) which is arranged at an upper side of the receiving structure (110), displaceable along the longitudinal axis (100a), so that in a closed position of the cover structure (120) all receiving cavities (112, 112a) are covered and in one opening position of multiple opening positions at least one receiving cavity (112) is free; and (c) a closure foil (225) which encompasses the cover structure (120) along the longitudinal axis (100a) in the form of a closed tape, wherein at least a part of the closure foil (225) is releasably connected to the receiving structure (110).
