Latest Patents
Lian Aik Tan holds a patent for an "Apparatus and method for automatically setting, calibrating and monitoring or measuring pickup head position and force during component pickup operations." This invention discloses a system designed to calibrate the compressive forces exerted on a component during its retrieval from a carrier or support surface. The system comprises a sensor, a component pickup assembly with a reference structure, a housing, and a spring guide holder connected to a suction tip. A resilient member is positioned within the housing and the reference structure, creating a variable first gap. Additionally, a gate formed by the reference structure and a sheath on the housing defines a variable second gap. The detection structure within the second gap allows the sensor to detect portions of the detection structure, correlating the detected portion to the height of the variable first gap and the compressive force exerted on the component.
