ABSTRACT:
An end effector (10) is pivotally affixed to a robot arm (12) and comprises a platform (28) and a catcher (42). In operation, the end effector (10) picks up an integrated circuit slice (S), tilts the platform (28) away from the horizontal, causing the slice (S) to slide into an indexing surface (47) of the catcher (42). This places the slice (S) in a predetermined position relative to the robot arm (12) allowing for precise placement of the slice (S) at a workstation (106).
