DEVICE AND METHOD FOR LIMITING FORCE

The invention relates to a force-limiting device (1) for limiting the force exerted by a linear actuator on a gripper of an electronic component, including: a first element (4, 7, 40, 41) arranged so as to be attached to said actuator so as to be linearly movable by said actuator; a second element (...

Zusammenfassung:The invention relates to a force-limiting device (1) for limiting the force exerted by a linear actuator on a gripper of an electronic component, including: a first element (4, 7, 40, 41) arranged so as to be attached to said actuator so as to be linearly movable by said actuator; a second element (5, 6, 23, 50) arranged so as to be connected to said gripper so as to linearly move said gripper; an elastically compressible spring (3) arranged between the first element (4, 7, 40) and the second element (5, 6, 23, 50) in order to transmit and limit the force exerted by the first element on the second element; an electrical contact arranged so as to be in a first state when said spring (3) limits the force exerted on the second element, and in a second state when said spring does not limit the force exerted on the second element.
