2 hrs confidence: 
placement Explanation: I don't think Aufnahme refers to a specific object here but to a task performed by machines. This seems to be about some kind of holding structure that is able to receive or secure building components of very particular shapes. In English, though, we may have to change the angle and talk about placing rather than receiving components: " high-precision (ultra precise) placement of the building components to be packaged" |

6 hrs confidence:
bed; seating Explanation: I'd probably use 'bed' here; seating is another meaning of Aufnahme, it's true, but that's more commonly on a piece of machinery or a machine tool and would mean the place where a component is fitted. Here, who knows - it might even be a moulded tray in the bottom of a packing-case or box designed to transport the 'components' of which you write. |
