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.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
