Abstract
Singulation handler is provided which comprises a loading zone where a carrier mechanism receives and holds an electronic component and a singulation zone where the electronic component held by the carrier mechanism is singulated. A loader that is movable along an axis is operative to place the electronic component onto the carrier mechanism when it is situated in the loading zone and a vision system that is movable along substantially the same axis as the loader is operative to obtain at least one image of the electronic component showing alignment information so that the electronic component can be properly aligned during singulation.
