    摘要: A carrier for reversibly immobilizing one or more objects is disclosed. The carrier comprises a frame having a major axis, a top surface, a bottom surface, and one or more openings through the frame along the major axis. The carrier also comprises a film comprising a thermoplastic elastomer material and having a top surface and a bottom surface. The film is attached to the frame based on thermal bonding of the top surface of the film to the bottom surface of the frame, is under tension along the major axis, and is free to flex at the openings. The top surface of the film comprises one or more exposed top surface portions that are accessible through the openings. The exposed top surface portions exhibit a holding force on stainless steel as per ASTM D1000 that is greater than that of the bottom surface of the film.

    摘要: A magazine (200) is described for portion-wise receiving individualized bulk electronic components (298). The magazine (200) comprises (a) a receiving structure (110) which comprises multiple closable receiving cavities (112, 112a), which are arranged along a longitudinal axis (100a) of the receiving structure (110); (b) a cover structure (120) which is arranged at an upper side of the receiving structure (110), displaceable along the longitudinal axis (100a), so that in a closed position of the cover structure (120) all receiving cavities (112, 112a) are covered and in one opening position of multiple opening positions at least one receiving cavity (112) is free; and (c) a closure foil (225) which encompasses the cover structure (120) along the longitudinal axis (100a) in the form of a closed tape, wherein at least a part of the closure foil (225) is releasably connected to the receiving structure (110). Further, a device (430) is described for portion-wise transferring components (298) from one such magazine (200) into a reservoir (490) for a component supply device. Further, a method is described for portion-wise transferring components from one such magazine (200) into the one such reservoir (490).

    摘要: The present invention provides a parallel method for packaging an electronic component and coating an adhesive on a carrier tape and a mechanism for same, so as to regulate continuous output of an adhesive and intermittent movement in packaging work, so that during a short pause of placing an electronic component, a continuously output adhesive is prevented from being repeatedly applied at a fixed position of a carrier tape. In this way, excessive application of an adhesive can be avoided, and it can be further ensured that the quality of packaging is not affected by an excessive amount of an adhesive.

    摘要: A system for sensing element adjustment and material belt detection comprises a machine body, adjustable clamping device, material disk and sensing system. The adjustable clamping device being configured on a material belt of said machine body, an adjustable plate being configured on an adjusting element of a main body of the adjustable clamping device, and an adjustable rod being configured on the adjustable plate allow forming a triangle pivot support with two fixing rods of the main body. Furthermore, an elastic element is configured between the adjustable plate and main body to allow the adjustable plate to drive the adjustable rod to achieve an elastic adjustment support in such a way to allow the mounting of the material disks of different hole diameters through the adjustable rod. Furthermore, a material belt detection device of the present invention may detect the material belt stably and effectively.

    Tape holding information cards and blister and an information card for use with such tape

    摘要: A tape for holding an information card (5) holding a blister (1) having a cavity for holding an item, where a hole (7) in the information card allows affixing of the blister such that the cavity of the blister remains accessible for instance by inserting the cavity of the blister in the hole so it protrudes through the information card. By affixing the information cards in a repetitive pattern along the tape (20) the assembled tape can be folded and individual blisters are no longer lost. An edge (6) for severing the tape allows the removal of a single information card-blister assembly from the assembled tape. Separating the information cards on the tape allows room for folding the tape. Ensuring that the holes cut in the tape do not overlap allows the distance between the information cards along the tape to be reduced and result in an efficient stacking of the blisters when the tape is folded.
