ABSTRACT:
While the manufacturing of integrated circuits (IC) has become a mostly automated process, the loading of the ICs into storage and shipping tubes105still requires a large amount of human interaction. A major stumbling block to the automation is the removal and insertion of retention pins115in the tubes. The present invention uses pressurized air406to hold a partially extracted retention pin115in position while the tube105is loaded. Once loaded, the retention pin115is reinserted. By not fully extracting the retention pin115, alignment is maintained, simplifying the reinsertion step.
