Definitions
- Such a transfer device is applied for instance in a so-called pre-heating device, in which the electronic components for encapsulating which are mounted on a lead frame are preheated before being fed to an encapsulating device.
- the existing transfer devices of the type de ⁇ scribed in the preamble have a limited capacity in that they have two lay-off positions available, which lay-off positions are displaceable such that they can be placed one by one in line with the feed position.
- a linear pusher By means of a linear pusher a lead frame can subsequently then be moved from the feed position to a lay-off position.
- the dis- placement of the lay-off position generally takes place in that they are arranged on a rotatable table.
- the feed position is preferably formed by a feed conveyor, which feed conveyor is preferably provided with at least one buffer position prior to the feed position. More preferably the number of buffer positions is at least equal to the number of lay-off positions minus one.
- the buffer positions enable successive processing of a batch of lead frames of the same number as that of the lay-off positions, wherein the lead frames are placed at the lay-off positions in the configuration for further processing without there being any danger of the supply of lead frames stopping temporarily before a whole batch of lead frames is processed. Such a device therefore guarantees that, at the start of the processing of a batch, at least sufficient lead frames are present to complete one full configuration of lead frames for fur ⁇ ther processing.
- the manipulator is preferably a mechanized arm having at least three degrees of freedom.
- Fig. 5 shows a perspective view of two lay-off positions provided with heating means according to the invention.
- Fig. 1 shows a transfer device 1 comprising a frame 2. Connected to the frame 2 is a conveyor 3 sub-divided into a plurality of parts with which lead frames 4 are carried to a feed position situated under a gripper 5 which forms part of a manipulator 6. A lead frame 4 which is engaged by gripper 5 is then displaced by operating manipulator 6 such that it can be laid off at one of the, in this figure, four lay-off positions 7, which lay-off positions 7 are rigidly connected to frame 2.
- the lay-off positions 7 in the transfer device 1 shown in this figure are provided with heating elements, as will be elucidated with reference to fig.
- Manipulator 6 is coupled to frame 2 by means of guide elements 13 which are con- nected to an upper plate 14 of manipulator 6 with inter ⁇ posing of the guide 12.
- the mounting of guide 12 provides manipulator 6 with a freedom of movement in lateral direction (X-direction) .
- a guide rail 15 Arranged on the underside of plate 14 is a guide rail 15 whereby manipulator 6 ac- quires a degree of freedom in the Y-direction, i.e. in a direction perpendicular to the linear guide 12 (the X- direction) .
- Carriages 16 arranged around guide rail 15 are displaceable by driving a belt 17 with a motor 18.
- Fig. 4 shows the gripper 5 for engaging a lead frame 4 fixed to the underside of mounting plate 28.
- the grip ⁇ per 5 comprises two rows of gripper elements 38 which are connected to two parallel beams 39.
- the beams 39 are coupled by means of rods 40 to rotatable elements 41. These latter are displaceable by operating the rotation cylinder 29 shown in fig. 2 which engages on the two protruding operating pins 42 of gripper 5.
- the gripper 5 By rotating the rotatable elements 41 the gripper 5 will engage a lead frame 4 such that the central axis of lead frame 4 is situated in the middle of gripper 5.
- positioning openings 47 are arranged for co-action with positioning pins 43 of grip- per 5.
- the positioning openings 47 must be able to re ⁇ ceive positioning pins 43 in close-fitting manner since possible play between positioning pin 43 and positioning openings 47 immediately introduces positioning inaccura ⁇ cies.
- the lay-off posi- tions 7 are arranged on a platform 48 in which heating elements 49 are arranged. Lead frames 4 can be pre-heated by heating lay-off positions 7, which can be advantageous for further processing of lead frame 4.
