    Abstract: A device for managing solder paste includes a storage room, a warm up room, a preparing room and a central control device, wherein the storage room, the warm up room and the preparing room respectively have a transportation unit for delivering a solder paste can. There are reading devices disposed respectively at an inlet/outlet of the above rooms for reading information of the solder paste can when the solder paste can passes thereby, and the central control device updates storage information for the solder paste cans. The central control device may access production information of a production line from a production managing system, and thus analyze the mold number and amount of solder paste cans, receive the solder paste cans based on a first-in, first-out manner, and deliver the solder paste cans to the warm up room for the warm up treatment.

  • Patent number: 8034157
    Abstract: A method and a device for charging feedstock, in particular coke or ore, and optionally separated fines of feedstock, for processing in a metallurgical vessel, to produce metal or primary metal products. The device includes a charging mechanism, which has a conveying device and at least one feeding device for supplying to the charging mechanism. The conveying device has an outlet opening which can be guided along an inwardly directed spiral during the charging into the vessel, to set a predefined coverage in the vessel. Charged materials can thereby be positioned precisely in the vessel, and it is possible for fines to be uniformly distributed in the circumferential region.

  • Publication number: 20080310938
    Abstract: An IC chip package production apparatus of this invention comprises a conveyance portion which conveys a film substrate, and an IC chip mounting portion which mounts IC chips on the film substrate. The IC chip mounting portion comprises a mounting roller, on the outer face of which are formed a chip holding groove and a suction-clamping hole, which mounts IC chips on the film substrate by holding IC chips and rotating; an IC chip supply portion, having a supply path which supplies a plurality of IC chips successively; and a linear feeder which, with one supply end of the supply path opposing the chip holding groove and suction-clamping hole, feeds IC chips from the supply end to the chip-holding groove.

  • Patent number: 5362456
    Abstract: A device for sterilizing products packed in cylindrical containers, includes an elongate, essentially cylindrical housing and an essentially cylindrical rotor located therein which can be driven via a central shaft. The circumferential wall of the housing is provided on the inside with a helically running, raised rib. The rotor is designed as a cage having a plurality of rings placed behind each other, the center line of which coincides with the axis of the rotor, and a plurality of raised ribs fastened to the circumference of the rings parallel to the axis of the rotor. The outer edge of the ribs on the rotor is located near the inner edge of the helically running rib on the inner wall of the housing so that spaces are formed between the ribs for receiving the cylindrical containers. Within the rotor between neighboring rings bracing elements in the form of pipes are provided to reinforce the rotor.

  • Patent number: 4402668
    Abstract: A conveyor furnace for heat treating a regular succession of articles consists of a circular carrier mounted for rotation about an upright axis below a fixed guide of open coiled spiral configuration and fixed radiant heaters directed through parts of the guide. A feed tube delivers the articles to an inner part of the guide on to the carrier whereon they are carried in sliding engagement with the guide, around and progressively outwards towards a discharge point. While on the carrier, the articles are heated by the heater. The furnace is compact, economical in operation and permits of relatively simple and reliable construction.
