COMPONENT HANDLER, SYSTEM AND METHOD

摘要

A handler for component handling. Trie handler preferably comprises a carriage, a first arm, a second arm and a cam. The carriage is rotatably displaceable about a rotational axis. The first arm and the second arm are movably coupled to the carriage. Each arm is further coupled to an end effector and a follower. Each arm is disp Jaceable relative the carriage for positioning the coupled end effector between a first circumcircle and a second circumcircle. The end effector grips a component and transfers the component from a first position and the second position. The cam defines a pathway. The follower engages with the pathway. The pathway is profiled for controlling displacement of the arm and position of the end effector during travel of the follower along the pathway of the cam. A component handling method using the handler is also disclosed.
