ABSTRACT:
A multi-section feeder-serializer subsystem uses blocking gates controlled by sensors responsive to the quantity of components in the various sections to produce a single-file progression of components from a bulk supply of components. A slotted track conveys a single file progression of components to a testing station where opposed bifurcated jaws grasp a single selected component from the progression and perform tests on the selected component. An orienting station coupled to the output of the testing station by a second slotted track employs mechanical fingers to rotate selected components either plus or minus 90 degrees about a vertical axis.
