CHAD PATENTED
PIE 3-D COMPLIANT END EFFECTOR
PROVIDES UNLIMITED PART HANDLING FLEXIBILITY
FOR THE ELECTRONICS INDUSTRY
January
'00, ORANGE, CA - The CHAD 3-D compliant
PIE handles virtually any type of component, including axials,
radials, header strip, DIPs, SIPs, connectors, transformers,
relays, TO-220s, displays, LEDs, surface mounts, small circuit
boards, PGAs . . . without the need for tool changes! Mimicking
the flexibility of the human hand, the intelligence of the
PIE's unique floating 3-D head allows body gripping while compensating
for variations in the body to lead relationship. The PIE virtually
eliminates the need for assembly sequence requirements common
to the use of dedicated grippers and costly vision systems
for most odd-form assembly applications. Providing maximum
flexibility, the PIE is interchangeable on all CHAD electronics
assembly systems.
