  • Apparatus for securing electronic devices on a carrier during transportation
    Patent number: 10091919
    Abstract: An apparatus for securing electronic devices on a carrier for storing electronic devices during transportation of the electronic devices on the carrier has a guiding track for guiding motion of the carrier when the carrier receives electronic devices. A magnetic track located adjacent to the guiding track attracts the electronic devices onto the carrier with a magnetic attraction force. In particular, the magnetic track has a support surface facing the carrier that has a smaller width than a width of a portion of the magnetic track that is spaced from the support surface.
    Type: Grant

  • Method for aligning electronic components
    Patent number: 9510460
    Abstract: For aligning an electronic component to a required orientation, the electronic component is picked up and it is inspected while it is being held to determine its initial orientation. A précising mechanism is then rotated to correspond to the initial orientation of the electronic component. After the electronic component is secured on the précising mechanism in the initial orientation, the précising mechanism is rotated to align the electronic component to the required orientation. Thereafter, the electronic component that has been aligned to the required orientation may be picked up for further testing and/or processing.
