Abstract:
A device to separate a print support, usable in microelectronics or for manufacturing multi-layer electronic circuits, from its associated supporting sub-layer, wherein said print support and the associated supporting sub-layer form a work element and wherein said print support is able to be moved from a first position in which it is stored together with the associated supporting sub-layer to a second position wherein it is positioned without the associated supporting sub-layer for a subsequent manufacturing phase, said device comprising pick up means having depression-type means for selectively picking up said print support in said first position and a plate having at least advancing head means and a tail part in order to maintain motion, wherein moving means is provided for moving said pick up means from said first position to said second position along a defined path, and wherein detachment means is disposed along said defined path, in an intermediate position between said first position and said second position for contacting said supporting sub-layer and causing the removing thereof from said print support during the movement of said pick up means from said first position to said second position.
