Abstract
A packaging system and a method of populating a transport belt with a tool for enclosing electronic components in a carrying belt, is described. For this purpose, the device has a heated punch with a structured punch face that has a plurality of mutually spaced punch face strips, which do not cover openings in the carrying belt. One of the punch face strips provided on an upper side of the carrying belt is not covered by the covering film.

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 Pa 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, the opening not being overlapped by the punch face strips;
- 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;
- placing at least one of the punch face strips in a region of the carrying belt not covered by the covering film;
- and
- closing the opening by pressing the punch face having the plurality of punch face strips on the carrying belt having the covering film.
