Abstract
An apparatus for segregating and positioning work-pieces and other objects at different desired positions includes a main body, a segregating system, and a plurality of dispensing channels defined in the main body. The segregating system has a receiving chamber and a plurality of gas inlets both defined in the main body. The receiving chamber is configured to house the work-pieces. The gas inlets are configured to allow a high-pressure gas fed therethrough into the receiving chamber. Each dispensing channel has a connecting end communicating with the receiving chamber and a positioning end opposite to the connecting end. The work-pieces are able to be driven by the high-pressure gas to move to the positioning ends through the connecting end.
