Description

Technical Field

The device arranges the materials through a vibrating plate and sends them to a disc transfer mechanism. The first and second conveying devices cross-transport the materials to a robot. The robot transfers the entire group of materials to the third component carrier of the discharge mechanism. The belt conveyor delivers the components to the feed port of the placement machine to achieve continuous feeding.

[0004] However, the mechanism transfers the entire group of components to the area to be bonded, which causes the components to be affected by the distance between the mechanisms during the transfer process, resulting in a fixed distance between the components after bonding, and difficulty in changing the model when the component model needs to be changed; the finished product effect cannot meet the further market demand.
