Abstract

A combination electrical component sequencing and inserting machine having a conveyor for receiving components from a source, a verifier for determining acceptability of the component, a blow out station for removing unacceptable components, a transfer station for accepting components from the sequencer, an inspection station for indicating to the machine control the absence of components from the sequence and a repair station adjacent an insertion head for replacing missing components from the sequence. The repair station also functions to test the replacement component prior to placement into the sequence.
