ABSTRACT:
A sequencer for assembling into a transferee magazine predetermined numbers of fixtures from a predetermined plurality of transferor magazines, each of which transferor magazines is adapted to hold a plurality of fixtures. Each of the fixtures stacked in a transferor magazine holds an integrated circuit (IC) chip of the same type. The transferor magazines are removably mounted on transferor bases mounted on a support member. Positoning means are also mounted on the support member and a transferee magazine is removably mounted on a transferee base secured to the positioning means. A transfer mechanism is mounted on the positioning means to transfer a fixture from a transferor magazine to the transferee magazine when the transferee magazine is in fixture transfer position with respect to a transferor magazine. Control signals cause the positioning means to position sequentially the transferee base in fixture transfer position with respect to the transferor bases on which are mounted transferor magazines and cause the transfer mechanism to load and stack in the transferee magazine a predetermined number of fixtures from predetermined transferor magazines.
