Abstract
Aspects for detecting integrated circuit package orientation in carrier tape packing are described. In accordance with these aspects, a digital circuit is provided over a carrier rail of a tape and reel system. The digital circuit detects package orientation based on a chamfer side of packages within a tape on the carrier rail. The digital circuit further includes at least two optical sensors, where the optical sensors emit a light beam and sense reflection of the light beam for each package within the tape for use in determining package orientation in an automated manner.
Claims12
A method for detecting integrated circuit package orientation in carrier tape packing, the method comprising:
- providing a digital circuit over a carrier rail of a tape and reel system;
- and
- utilizing the digital circuit to detect package orientation based on a chamfer side of packages within a tape on the carrier rail.
A method for detecting package orientation of integrated circuit devices in a tape and reel system, the method comprising:
- positioning an orientation checker above a carrier tape holding a plurality of integrated circuit devices;
- and
- optically determining an orientation of each integrated circuit device automatically with the orientation checker prior to sealing the integrated circuit devices in the carrier tape with a sealing assembly.
