  • Patent number: 7024759
    Abstract: Substrates can be transported on a top transporting section to component-fitting locations of a component-fitting apparatus. Conveying sections for substrates which are to be routed past the component-fitting locations are arranged on a number of conveying levels beneath the transporting section.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6619462
    Abstract: A device is used for conveying printed board assemblies. Every segment of a conveyor line is provided, on both sides, with a conveyor cheek as the lateral border. Conveyor belts driven by wheels are mounted on the inner sides of the conveyor cheeks on vertically movable boards. On the upper edges of the conveyor cheeks, connector blocks are mounted on the inner side in the longitudinal direction. The connector blocks project beyond the movable boards in such a manner that, when the movable boards are lifted, the printed board is caught with its edge on both sides between the conveyor belt and the connector block.

  • Publication number: 20030145454
    Abstract: The substrates can be transported on a top transporting section (5) to component-fitting locations (6) of the component-fitting apparatus (1). Conveying sections (13) for substrates (4) which are to be routed past the component-fitting locations (6) are arranged on a number of conveying levels beneath the transporting section (5). This reduces the structural outlay for the component-fitting apparatuses.

  • Publication number: 20030047421
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device for conveying printed boards. Every segment of a conveyor line (1) is provided on both sides with a conveyor cheek (7) as the lateral border. Conveyor belts (4) driven by wheels are mounted on the inner sides of the conveyor cheeks on vertically movable boards (5). On the upper edges of the conveyor cheeks drag rails (3) are mounted on the inner side in the longitudinal direction. Said drag rails project beyond the movable boards in such a manner that, when the movable boards are lifted, the printed board is caught with its edge on both sides between the conveyor belt and the drag rail.

  • Patent number: 6250538
    Abstract: An mounting apparatus for mounting an electrical component onto a substrate of an electrical assembly. The mounting apparatus employs a compensating element to facilitate the component mounting operation. The compensating element includes a spring member and a damping member. The spring member applies an optimal contact pressure for securely mounting said component without damaging the component. The damping element acts to damp the spring member during so as to effectively reduce a spring force that acts on the mounting apparatus during the component delivery stage.

  • Patent number: 6059510
    Abstract: The delivery device is provided with sword-like flat parts (2) at which reels (6) having component belts (7) are individually held. The flat parts (2) are guided between circular guide disks (3) at their base end, the circular guide disks (3) being slipped onto a swiveling axis. As a result thereof, the operation of the delivery means is facilitated.
