  • Method and Device for Extracting Electronic Components From Tubes and Electronic Component Feeding Device
    Publication number: 20080310927
    Abstract: A method for extracting electronic components from a tube, the electronic components being extracted from the tube with pneumatic means. Also, a device for extracting electronic components from a tube comprising a pneumatic system for extracting electronic components from a tube and device for feeding with electronic components a processing line comprising such an extraction device. The use of pneumatic means for extracting electronic components can offer, among other advantages, that of allowing the tube to remain in horizontal position whilst avoiding the use of delicate and complicated mechanical means.
