Fast positioning and transfer method of electronic component carrier

The invention relates to a method for quickly locating and transferring a carrier of an electronic component, in particular to a method for transferring and locating an electronic component carrier.

In the field of electronic component manufacturing, testing, and packaging, electronic components are commonly loaded into a carrier tray, and a transfer carrier tray is used to transport electronic components. However, in the prior art, the more common equipment for transporting the carrier tray is to carry the electronic components in the manner of a conveyor or a guide rail with a shuttle.

Wherein, the carrying of the electronic component carrier in the manner of a conveyor has a higher carrying capacity, but the speed of the conveyor is generally not fast, and the electronic component carrier cannot be directly positioned to stay in a fixed working position. It must temporarily stop the operation of the conveyor belt or otherwise disengage the electronic component carrier tray from the conveyor belt. On the other hand, in the case of a shuttle, electronic components must be transferred in batches and cannot be carried as a conveyor, so the carrying capacity is limited.
