Uncovering device on a belt conveyer of a pick-and-place installation and method for picking and placing component using the same

摘要

An uncovering apparatus may be used on a belt conveyor of a pick-and-place installation having a transporting belt loaded with pick-and-place elements. The pick-and-place elements are covered by a flexible covering and a rigid covering, which may be coupled to one another. This makes it possible for pick-and-place elements to be removed successively in different positions by a removal arrangement without other pick-and-place elements not being covered at any point in time.
