AUTOMATIC PROGRAMMER AND DISPENSER OF MICROCIRCUIT CARDS

摘要

A disk carries containers each containing a stack of cards capable of being extracted one-by-one via an orifice when a wheel is moved to an extraction position . A first conveyor then conveys the extracted card to a programming unit which is capable of being moved to a position enabling a card to be inserted therein without friction, and thereafter lowers a connector onto the card. After the card has been validated and inspected, it is conveyed to a user along the first conveyor and then along a second conveyor terminating at a delivery slot . An invalid card may be directly rejected into a reject box placed beneath the programming unit .
