A singulation apparatus and method including: at least one chuck station to which a workpiece is securable, the at least one chuck station being configured to move along a feed direction; a bridge extending above the at least one chuck station, the bridge having a first side and a second side opposite the first side; a first cutting device with members mounted to the bridge and being independently movable along the first side, transversely to the feed direction; and a second cutting device with members mounted to the bridge and being independently movable along the second side, transversely to the feed direction, the first and second cutting devices being configured and arranged for cutting the workpiece.

Singulation apparatus and method

Disclosed is a singulation apparatus for cutting a workpiece. The singulation apparatus comprises: i) a processor; ii) at least one chuck device for securing the workpiece to be cut; iii) a cutting device spaced from the at least one chuck device by a separation distance, the cutting device being for cutting the workpiece secured to the at least one chuck device; and iv) an imaging device operable to capture one or more images comprising the cutting device and a reference feature. In particular, the processor is configured to determine a separation distance between the cutting device and the reference feature based on the one or more images as captured by the imaging device, to thereby determine the separation distance between the cutting device and the workpiece as secured to the at least one chuck device.
