METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR HANDLING ALIGNED COMPONENTS

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and an apparatus for supplying aligned components to be handled by picking up all the components in a moving range of a small carrier. SOLUTION: Aligned components 2 carried to a carrier 6 are moved to a pick-up position C by moving the components 2 in perpendicular two aligning directions of the carrier. When the components 2 are lifted by a pushup pin 8 and picked up by a tool 3, unit regions D1 to D4 divided and set around a picking-up position are switched to a pick-up preparing position E by rotation of the carrier, and then the component in the region is moved in the component aligning direction of the carrier, and sequentially supplied to a pickup.
