Abstract
The invention relates to an automatic machine for bending the extending conductors of an integrated circuit chip to form contacts for mounting the chip to a substrate. This machine comprises a bending base (20), movable bending pieces (18, 19) situated opposite the bases, a ribbon insulating support (2) for the chip (1), and a platform (27) to displace the support of the chip so as to being the chip onto the base, or to remove it therefrom. This machine is characterized in that the bending base (20) includes a housing (21) having the form of the chip for receiving the chip and having a plane rim (23) adapted to surround the body of the chip. The first movable piece (18) is located in the second movable piece and has a flat rim (24) opposite the flat rim (23) of the base. The extending conductors are wedged during the bending operation between these two rims (23, 24) and the bending is carried out by the second movable piece (19) which moves rectilinearly in a vertical direction.
