Abstract
An integrated circuit sleeve handler and method includes a hopper for receiving a plurality of integrated circuit sleeves. A conveyor sequentially loads individual ones of the plurality of integrated circuit sleeves for transportation to a pair of opposed orientation wheels. The orientation wheels orient the integrated circuit sleeves in accordance with their specific cross-sectional aspect, such as a longitudinal slot. An interface mechanism in conjunction with the conveyor receives the uniformly oriented integrated circuit sleeves for presentation to a subsequent handling station such as marking or testing equipment.
