Abstract :
Electronic scrap, especially the printed circuit board, is recognized as an environmental problem in Germany. Disassembly plants are growing up as a part of a recycling system. This paper shows the motivation and tasks of a disassembling machine for printed circuit boards. The tasks are analyzed and suitable solutions are pointed out. They are combined to a general concept, for which attempts at realization are described
