ABSTRACT:
Robotic systems for assembling electronic components require that the components be stored in an orderly manner at locations known to the robot. Generally, it is required that at least two storage locations be provided. More specifically, the components must be stored and presented to the robot in an orderly fashion for assembly operations and a storage location must be provided for components which the robot is unsuccessful in assembling. The invention which is the subject matter of this patent provides a convenient means for storing electronic components having reasonably rigid leads. More specifically, this invention provides for inserting the leads of the components into a semi-rigid gel for purposes of storage. If the components are to be assembled, the robot can conveniently lift the components from the gel. Similarly, if the component cannot be assembled, the robot can store the component by gently inserting the leads of the component into the gel. Alternatively, the gel may be a body of predetermined size for storing multiple components or included in a modular system with each module providing storage for a single component.
