Abstract
A method and system for separating component which have two opposed sides and an edge between the opposed sides and are initially connected together by a foil which contacts one of the sides of each component, by: disposing the components and the foil so that portions of the foil which are disposed between components are disposed at an elevation different from the other one of the sides of each component; disposing a scanner to monitor the elevations of the foil and the other one of the sides of each component and monitoring the elevations with the scanner; and converting the monitoring result into data for controlling cutting of the foil along the edge of each component.
