A feeding assembly and a method of feeding components comprising a track along which components can be moved, said track comprising a sloped surface and a ledge, wherein said sloped surface slopes in a direction perpendicular to the direction which the components move along the track so that the components maintain a tilted orientation as they move along the track, a pickup platform comprising a pocket which can receive components from said track, and a pivot on which the pickup platform can be selectively rotated between a first position and second position. In the first position, the pocket is aligned with the track and the pocket is parallel with the sloped surface of the track, so that a component can move from the track into the pocket of the pickup platform. In the second position the pocket is in a horizontal orientation.

Feeding assembly, component handling assembly and method of feeding components

A nest includes a fix part, and a movable part, wherein the fix part and movable part are configured to cooperate so as to define a pocket which can receive at least a part of an electrical component, wherein the movable part is moveable between a first position and a second position, wherein in the first position the pocket is open so that at least part of the electrical component can be moved into the pocket, and in the second position the pocket is closed so that the at least part of the electrical component positioned in the pocket is secured within the pocket, wherein the nest further includes a biasing means which is arranged to bias the movable part towards its second position. There is further provided a nest assembly, a component handling assembly, and a table that includes the nest.

Electrical component testing nest

A method for filling a carrier tape () with electronic components () and for removing and replacing defective electronic components () from the carrier tape, comprising the steps of:

Method and device for filling carrier tapes with electronic components

An assembly for testing performance of a component includes a rotatable turret having component handling heads each of which can hold a component and a rotatable head assembly that includes a rotatable head having one or more nests. Each nest has an electrical contact and can receive a component that electrically connects to the nest's electrical contact. Each nest can hold a component that remains electrically connected to the electrical contact, as the head rotates. The rotatable head is adjacent to the turret to pass a component directly from a component handling head on the turret to a nest on the head. A processor is in electrical communication with the electrical contact(s) of the nests such that the processor can send command signals to a component held in a nest and receive response signals from the component. The processor determines the performance of the component from the response signals.
