Method for aligning electronic components

摘要

For aligning an electronic component to a required orientation, the electronic component is picked up and it is inspected while it is being held to determine its initial orientation. A précising mechanism is then rotated to correspond to the initial orientation of the electronic component. After the electronic component is secured on the précising mechanism in the initial orientation, the précising mechanism is rotated to align the electronic component to the required orientation. Thereafter, the electronic component that has been aligned to the required orientation may be picked up for further testing and/or processing.
