  • Patent number: 10173843
    Abstract: An arrangement for conveying an electronic device in a testing system includes a conveyor arrangement, a plate having at least one opening for the conveyor arrangement, and an elevator configured to elevate the conveyor arrangement through the at least one opening of the plate. The conveyor arrangement is configured to receive and convey the electronic device when the conveyor arrangement extends through the at least one opening. The elevator is further configured to lower the conveyor arrangement through the at least one opening of the plate. The plate is configured to receive the electronic device from the conveyor arrangement in response to lowering the conveyor arrangement through the at least one opening. The plate is further configured to move with respect to the conveyor arrangement, and to carry the electronic device to a testing area of the testing system.
