Abstract
One or more embodiments are directed to cap attach trays for holding barrel caps such that a pick-and-place tool can readily identify the cap and pick the barrel cap from the cap attach tray during the manufacturing process. The cap attach trays include a receiving layer having a plurality of protrusions each of which secures a barrel cap by mating to a through-hole in the barrel cap.
Claims15
A pick-and-place accessory tray system, comprising:
- a plurality of barrel caps;
- and
- a cap attach tray that holds the plurality of barrel caps in position when assembled with sensor packages, wherein the cap attach tray comprises:
- a receiving layer having a first surface;
- and
- a plurality of protrusions extending from the first surface, the plurality of protrusions having outer surfaces that extend into through-holes of the plurality of barrel caps, respectively, and hold the plurality of barrel caps in position on the cap attach tray.
3 more elements
A cap attach tray comprising:
- a receiving layer having a first surface;
- a plurality of protrusions extending from the first surface, the plurality of protrusions configured to extend into through-holes of a plurality of barrel caps, respectively and configured to hold the plurality of barrel caps in position on the cap attach tray;
- and
- a coloration layer configured to be obscured by the plurality of barrel caps and visible through the respective through-holes of each one of the plurality of barrel caps, wherein the coloration layer is a sheet of colored paper.
1 more element
A device, comprising:
- a plurality of barrel caps;
- and
- a cap attach tray that holds the plurality of barrel caps in position during assembly with sensor packages, wherein the cap attach tray comprises:
- a supporting substrate;
- and
- a barrel cap receiving layer on the supporting substrate, the receiving layer including a plurality of barrel cap protrusions, each of the barrel cap protrusions including a base on a surface of the receiving layer and a pin on the base, the pin having a column shape with a diameter equal to a first width, the base having a rectangular cuboid shape with a second width, the second width being greater than the first width.
