Production of an inlay with integrated control circuit

Producing inlay for a film composite, preferably an inlay for further processing into a value- or security document, comprises (a) supplying a carrier film (16), (b) supplying at least one compensating film (12) to cutting device (10), (c) transmitting data on the position of respective electronic components to the cutting device, and controlling the cutting device for producing recesses, (d) combining the compensating film and the carrier film, and fixing accurate register to an inlay, (e) providing a second image capturing device, transmitting the data, and controlling the cutting device. Producing inlay for a film composite, preferably an inlay for further processing into a value- or security document, comprises (a) supplying a carrier film (16) having several electronic components (18) of a first image capturing device (2), which are arranged on the carrier film and associated with each other, where the first image capturing device detects at least one position of the electronic component, (b) supplying at least one compensating film (12) applied on the carrier film to a cutting device (10), (c) transmitting data on the position of respective electronic components on the carrier film to the cutting device, which is detected by the first image capturing device, and controlling the cutting device for producing recesses, which are matched to the respective positions of the electronic components, (d) combining the compensating film having the recesses and the carrier film in a merging station, and fixing accurate register aligned with each other to an inlay, (e) providing a second image capturing device after the merging station, which detects the data on the position of the electronic components on the carrier film with respect to the recesses in the compensating sheet, transmitting the data to the cutting device, and controlling the cutting device for producing recesses in the compensating sheet such that the electronic components on the carrier film are located within the recesses of the compensating sheet. An independent claim is also included for a device for producing the inlay for film composite, preferably inlay for further processing into the value or security document, comprising (i) a first supplying device for the carrier film, (ii) the first image capturing device that supplies the carrier film having several electronic components that are arranged on the carrier film and associated with each other, where first image capturing device detects t
