Abstract

L'invention concerne un dispositif de séparation et un procédé de séparation permettant une séparation plus fiable, par rapport à la technique classique, d'un nombre prédéterminé de feuilles de composants en forme de feuille à partir d'un paquet de composants chargé avec les composants, même lorsque les composants ont une section soudée sur une périphérie externe qui a été découpée par un laser, et analogues. Ce dispositif de séparation dispose une plaque de pression à une position de butée où une surface de pression de la plaque vient en butée contre un composant en butée, à partir d'un paquet de composants chargé de composants, qui est un composant qui est situé plus loin dans une première direction de chargement qu'une ouverture d'une partie de réception pour recevoir le paquet de composants et qui est le plus éloigné dans la première direction de chargement (S5) Le dispositif de séparation commande un mécanisme de déplacement pour déplacer un élément de pression par une première distance dans une première direction de déplacement dans un état dans lequel la surface de pression de la plaque de pression au niveau de la position de butée applique une force de pression au composant en butée dans une seconde direction de chargement opposée à la première direction de chargement (S8). Le dispositif de séparation commande le mécanisme de déplacement pour déplacer la plaque de pression par une seconde distance, qui est plus longue que la première distance, dans une seconde direction de déplacement, et sépare, à partir du paquet de composants, un nombre prédéterminé de composants sujets en comptant à partir de la position du composant en butée dans la première direction de chargement à l'intérieur du paquet de composants (S11).
