  • Disc transfer mechanism for electrical component assembly machine
    Patent number: 4671707
    Abstract: A mechanism for transferring chip components from a supply source onto a conveyor. A manifold of individual disc members receive the component from a supply and rotate to position the component onto a conveyor. A drive crank rotates the disc from the receiving to the release position and sensors tell a machine control the position of the component and the disc.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: June 9, 1987
    Assignee: USM Corporation
    Inventors: Stanley R. Vancelette, Robert D. Dinozzi
  • Component verifier
    Patent number: 4566594
    Abstract: A verifier for a chip type component placement mechanisms which has an air track conveying the component from a supply source to a placement head. The verifier is positioned in the air track and stops the chip for testing to determine whether the proper chip is presented and whether the chip is the proper electrical value. If the chip is acceptable, it is sent on down the track to the placement head, and if unacceptable, it is rejected from the system.

  • Micro component assembly machine
    Patent number: 4501064
    Abstract: A machine for automatically placing chips or similar micro-electronic components on a substrate carried on an X-Y type table, the machine having means to supply components, means to convey the components, means to transfer the components from the supply source to the conveyor, the conveyor transporting the components to a placement head located above the substrate to place the component on the substrate. The machine can also include a station for applying an adhesive or similar means on the substrate to adhere the component on the substrate.
