For simplified processing, micro parts are handled as linked parts. The length of the frame structure of these linked parts can change during a multi-stage production process especially when forming is included. Hence, the positions of individual parts are not constant within the linkage. An individual referencing of the parts becomes necessary in each production step. In this paper, a visual high-speed on-line part referencing system is presented and analyzed. Especially, the trade-off between the highest possible feed velocity and the demand of high accuracy in micro production is taken into account. In addition to this general characterization application related testing with stepwise positioning is performed.
