A detape apparatus has a support unit with a deck surface for supporting a tape carrier. The deck surface defines a support plane on which the tape carrier is supportable, and a conveyor is configured to move the tape carrier in a conveyance direction along the deck surface. During a detape process, a receiving segment of a first urging element is movable to a first detape position next to a first side of the tape carrier, while a second urging element is movable to a second detape position abutting the tape carrier on an opposite side of the tape carrier to thereby push the tape carrier out of the support plane to separate at least one electronic component from the tape carrier. The receiving segment may then receive the at least one electric component which is thus separated from the tape carrier.
