An apparatus for installing LED light bar is provided. The apparatus includes a platform at which a component with a LED light bar to be installed is placed; a rotatable arm and a first driving device disposed on a side of the platform. The rotatable arm is provided with a locating member, and one end of the arm is fixed relative to the platform; the first driving device drives the arm to rotate about the fixed end from a first position to a second position. When the arm is located at the first position, the LED light bar to be installed may be placed at the arm, and the locating member may fix the LED light bar on a predetermined position of the arm; when the arm rotates to the second position, the LED light bar adheres to the surface of the component for installing the LED light bar thereon.

A component supply device that images stage on which multiple leaded components are supported in a scattered state, and holds a component supported on the stage using a component holding tool based on the image data, wherein multiple stages of different colors are prepared, and a stage from among the multiple stages a stage with a color different to a component that is planned to be supplied is removably attached to component support member. By this, for example, in a case in which a component planned to be supplied is white, by attaching a black stage to the component support section, due to the contrast between the background and the target object, it is possible to clearly recognize the white component supported on the black stage.

A tray-type component supply device includes a device main body, a magazine configured to be detachably held by the device main body and to accommodate multiple trays in each of which multiple components are arranged vertically, a shuttle mechanism configured to draw any of the trays from the magazine to enable the components to be supplied, a lifting/lowering mechanism configured to move the magazine or the shuttle mechanism up and down to select a tray to be drawn by the shuttle mechanism, and an automatic exchange section configured to exchange the magazine to be collected from the device main body and the magazine to be provided to the device main body.

A work system includes a mounting system which mounts a component on a board and an unmanned conveyance system having an unmanned conveyance vehicle. The unmanned conveyance system includes a first notifier which notifies the mounting system of an arrival notification indicating that the unmanned conveyance vehicle transfers the feeder carriage to a position where an operation of connecting the feeder carriage to the base starts, and a first processor which causes the unmanned conveyance vehicle to travel in a direction away from the base upon receiving, from the mounting system, a connection completion indicating that a connection of the feeder carriage is completed. The mounting system includes a second processor which causes the connection mechanism to connect the feeder carriage upon receiving the arrival notification, and a second notifier which notifies the unmanned conveyance system of the connection completion upon being informed of completion of the connection.

An apparatus, system and method for placing components on a circuit board by a pick and place machine. The apparatus, system and method may include a rotational table suitable to receive and hold the circuit board for the pick and place machine; at least one sensor capable of sensing an off-center fiducial on the circuit board after association with the rotational table; and at least one processor connective with at least one computing memory having therein non-transitory computing code. The steps performed by execution of the code may include receiving sensor data from the sensor indicative of at least a physical location the off-center fiducial; dividing the board into radial sections based on the sensor data; accessing at least one placement program for placement of at least first components by the pick and place machine; monitoring for a change to a second at least one of the radial sections based on rotation of the rotational table according to the sensor data; and accessing at least one second placement program for placement of second components upon a change to the physical location.

A packaging system of an electronic device, in which the electronic device is mounted on a circuit board, may comprise: a first jig having a groove configured to contain the electronic device, the first jig having a surface on which a plurality of aligning posts are prepared to protrude; a circuit board supporting member connected to the circuit board to support the circuit board, the circuit board supporting member including a plurality of first guide holes into which the aligning posts are inserted; and/or a second jig configured to apply pressure to the circuit board and including a plurality of second guide holes into which the aligning posts are inserted.

Smartcards having (i) a metal card body (MCB) with a slit (S) overlapping a module antenna (MA) of a chip module (TCM) or (ii) multiple metal layers (M1, M2, M3) each having a slit (S1, S2, S3) offset or oriented differently than each other. A front metal layer may be continuous (no slit), and may be shielded from underlying metal layers by a shielding layer (SL). Metal backing inserts (MBI) reinforcing the slit(s) may also have a slit (S2) overlapping the module antenna. Diamond like coating filling the slit. Key fobs similarly fabricated. Plastic-Metal-Plastic smart cards and methods of manufacture are disclosed. Such cards may be contactless only, contact only, or may be dual-interface (contact and contactless) cards.

According to one embodiment, a method for placing an adapter card on a system board of a computer system includes, aligning a tool having an adapter card secured therewith to a slot on a system board of a computer system using a positioning member, and seating the adapter card into the slot on the system board. The tool includes a carrier for supporting the adapter card, at least one lower retaining member extending from a lower portion of the carrier for securing the adapter card to the carrier, at least one upper retaining member extending from an upper portion of the carrier for securing the adapter card to the carrier, and the positioning member coupled to the carrier.

An electronic device with a magnetically attached electronic component is described herein. An electronic device includes a housing and an electronic component. The electronic component is positioned within the housing and magnetically attached to an internal surface of the housing via a magnetic force between the electronic component and the internal surface of the housing. During manufacturing, the electronic component can be magnetically attached to the internal surface of the housing by aligning one or more magnetic attachment points of the electronic component within magnetic proximity to one or more corresponding magnetic attachment points of the internal surface of the housing of the electronic device to magnetically attach the electronic component to the internal surface of the housing.
