  • Patent number: 11232961
    Abstract: A component-handling device for removing components from a structured component supply and for depositing the removed components at a receiving device. A first turning device having a plurality of receiving units receives a component from the structured component supply at a dispensing point, to turn the received component by a first predetermined angle about the longitudinal or transverse axis of the received component, and to convey the same to a transfer point. A second turning device having a plurality of receiving units receives the component at the transfer point from a receiving unit of the first turning device, to turn the received component by a second predetermined angle about the longitudinal or transverse axis of the received component, and to convey the same to a depositing point.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10529601
    Abstract: A reception device for moving components along a first axis, a second axis and a third axis and that is designed to rotate in a controlled manner relative to a deposit point, at least partly about the third axis containing the deposit point, by means of a rotary drive and/or to be propelled in a controlled manner by means of at least one linear drive at least partly along one of the first, second or third axes, and/or to propel, in a controlled manner, a carrier guided by the reception device, along one of the first and/or second axes.

  • Patent number: 10347514
    Abstract: A component-handling device for removing components from a structured component supply and for storing the removed components at a reception device, where the reception device is newly adjusted after being initially put into operation after the replacement of device components or after maintenance work, in order to comply with the precision requirements when handling the components. The component-handling device has a self-adjustment device which permits it to adjust the device efficiently in terms of time and with high precision without manual intervention by an operator. The self-adjustment device is composed of a multiplicity of optical sensors and a controller. Adaptation of the measurement results acquired by means of the optical sensors using position sensors and property sensors installed originally for component inspection during fabrication gives rise to a high degree of process reliability and at the same time permits device components to be inspected for damage.
