Patent ID: 8727693

Claim:
An apparatus for object processing, comprising: an input unit for loading a plurality of objects, wherein at least one of plurality of objects is positioned in a first predetermined location; a first Pick & Place (PNP) unit and a second Pick & Place (PNP) unit for picking the positioned object from the first predetermined location and placing the picked object onto a second predetermined location; wherein the first PNP unit and second PNP unit are so configured that they can pick the positioned objects from the first predetermined location sequentially and in turn transport the picked objects to the second predetermined location; a transporting system for transporting the first PNP unit and second PNP unit from the first predetermined location to the second predetermined location and back forth; wherein the transporting system comprises a first gantry being disposed with the firs PNP unit and a second gantry being disposed with the second PNP unit, wherein the first gantry and second gantry are disposed on separate bases to form a mirror configuration so that the first PNP unit and second PNP unit travel along the first gantry and second gantry independently, and stop at the first predetermined location and second predetermined location sequentially; whereby the plurality of objects can be picked at the first predetermined location by the first PNP unit and second PNP unit, transported along the first gantry and second gantry, and placed at the second predetermined location by the first PNP unit and second PNP unit sequentially; and an output unit providing the second predetermined location so that the picked objects can be sequentially placed onto the output unit; whereby the output unit unloads the placed objects.
