A packaging system, comprising:
- a tool for enclosing electronic components disposed in openings formed in an upper side of a carrying belt having a given width, said tool having a heatable punch with a punch face, in a rest position said punch face disposed parallel to a covering film disposed on the carrying belt, the covering film having a width less than the given width of the carrying belt, said punch face having a plurality of punch face strips spaced apart from one another and disposed so as to not overlap the openings in the carrying belt, and in a sealing position of said tool at least one of said punch face strips disposed on the upper side of the carrying belt in a region not covered by the covering film.
A method of populating a carrying belt with electronic components, which comprises the following steps:
- providing a packaging system for transporting the carrying belt, the carrying belt having a given width;
- heating up a tool of the packaging system, the tool having a punch with a punch face heated to a defined temperature and a temperature of the punch face being controllable, the punch face having a plurality of punch face strips distributed over the given width of the carrying belt;
- introducing an electronic component into an opening formed in the carrying belt;
- laying a covering film on the carrying belt over the opening containing the electronic component, the covering film having a width narrower than the given width of the carrying belt;
- and
- closing the opening by pressing the punch face having the plurality of punch face strips on the carrying belt having the covering film.
