Abstract
Assembly tool for detaching and applying components lined up continuously and attached to a belt or tape at an assembly position in which one component after the other is successively separated from the tape and ejected, in which the tape is placed over an encircling continuous conveyor belt which positively engages the tape and entrains it with the advance of the conveyor belt, the conveyor passing together with the equipped tape through a driving-in region for gripping the tape prior to the assembly position and a driving-out region for carrying off the remaining tape after the assembly position and being deflected round the assembly position substantially in the form of a V at the assembly position.
