ABSTRACT:
Constant supply of electronic components to a processing station is effected by a reservoir and component supply tubes indexed to sequentially unload into the reservoir automatically, as the need arises. Plural component supply tubes are mounted in a cartridge assembly at each station of a multistation processing machine. Upon command of a controller and in response to a low part sensor of a reservoir at each station, the cartridge is indexed to the next tube in order to unload the components of that tube into the reservoir. Each station includes a separate indexing mechanism for each respective cartridge, and a carriage is translated to a position adjacent the indexing mechanism of each station, upon command, in order to effect such indexing.
