Devices and methods for dispensing adhesive elements

A system for dispensing adhesive elements,

• the system comprising:
• a first holder;
• a second holder;
• an alignment element;
• and
• a storage unit;
• the first holder configured to rotatably hold a film having adhesive elements and a protective layer attached on adhesive areas of the adhesive elements;
• the second holder configured to receive the protective layer as the protective layer is peeled off the adhesive areas of the adhesive elements while the adhesive elements move towards the alignment element;
• and
• the alignment element arranged in a direction of movement of the adhesive elements at a predetermined position on the alignment element and configured to receive and align the adhesive elements, and
• wherein the storage unit is configured to receive coupling elements that have been coupled with an adhesive element.
