Abstract
A component delivery system for an automatic insertion mechanism comprises a chute for sequential delivery of components to a platform with a given orientation. A receiver is positioned at the end of the platform for reception of the component when pushed off the platform by operation of an air valve. The receiver includes mounting means, cooperating with the mounting means of the component, that are substantially identical to the component mounting means on the circuit board. The receiver is pivoted into a horizontal position by another air valve, thus presenting the component with a precise orientation to insertion means.
