Electronic component transfer by levitation

Abstract

Aspects of the present disclosure relate to a system for transporting an electronic component. Further aspects of the present disclosure relate to a method for transporting an electronic component. According to an aspect of the present disclosure a system for transporting an electronic component is provided that includes a carrier for carrying the electronic component, and a transducer system including a plurality of transducers, the transducer system being configured for generating a levitation field in which the carrier levitates. The system also includes an input unit for arranging the electronic component onto the carrier, and an output unit for receiving the electronic component from the carrier. A controller is used for controlling the transducer system to change the levitation field for the purpose of moving the carrier from the input unit to the output unit.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
