Abstract:
According to the present invention there is provided a method of handling components on a carrier, the method comprising the steps of, providing a carrier having a plurality of components supported thereon; testing the plurality of components to identify good components and bad components, wherein good components are those components which successfully pass testing and bad components are those components which fail testing; defining a first good components to be picked from the carrier; defining an integer number of components to be a jump value; locating a pickup head, which is operable to pick components from the carrier, above a first reference position on the carrier; identifying one or more good components, which are within the jump value from the first reference position; moving the pickup head or the carrier so that the pickup head is centered above at least one of the one or more good components; moving the pickup head or the carrier, so that the pickup head is moved from above said at least one of the one or more good components to above the defined first good component to be picked without picking said at least one of the one or more good components; centering the pickup head above the first good components to be picked; picking the first good components to be picked. There is further provided a corresponding component handling apparatus.

Claim (Index 9):
The method according to  claim 1  further comprising the steps of\n (a) identifying one or more good components, which are within the jump value of the position which was occupied by the first good component to be picked; \n (b) moving the pickup head so that it is centered above at least one of the identified one or more good components; \n (c) moving the pickup head from above said at least one of the one or more good components to above a second good component to be picked without picking said at least one of the one or more good component; \n (d) centering the pickup head above the second good component to be picked; \n (e) picking the second good component to be picked.
