Abstract
A method for encapsulating electronic devices comprises, successively, placing a profiled strip on a conveyor belt, the profiled strip comprising a base, at least one flap protruding with respect to said base; positioning an electronic device, in the longitudinal direction, on the receiving zone of the profiled strip; and plastically deforming the flap by application of an application force in a predetermined direction.
Claims15
A method for encapsulating electronic devices comprising, successively:
- (a) placing a profiled strip on a conveyor belt,
- the profiled strip comprising a base and, on an opposite face to a face in contact with the conveyor belt, a flap protruding with respect to the base,
- the flap extending in a direction parallel to a longitudinal direction which is a running direction of the conveyor belt,
- the base comprising a receiving zone extending along the flap,
- the conveyor belt comprising, next to the receiving zone and on an opposite face to a face in contact with the profiled strip, a magnetic means;
- (b) positioning an electronic device, in the longitudinal direction, at a regular spacing, on the receiving zone of the profiled strip, the device comprising at least one ferromagnetic material, the magnetic means of the conveyor belt keeping the device in position on the receiving zone;
- and
- (c) plastically deforming the flap by application of an application force in a predetermined direction so as to encapsulate the device.
