Lead frame transporting apparatus

摘要

In a lead frame transporting apparatus for transporting lead frames on which package portions are located, slide shafts are included on a frame conveyor plate. Pad support members are slidably mounted on the slide shafts. Suction pads for holding the package portions with suction are mounted on respective pad support members. The sliding of the slide members is limited by a slide limiting device on the frame conveyor plate. The slide limit of the pad support members is removed by a pad moving mechanism and the pad support members are moved along the slide shafts. Information regarding the lead frames is input into a controlling section so that the pad moving mechanism can be controlled and the positions of all the pad support members automatically adjusted.
