Apparatus and method for detaching a component from a mounting surface
Disclosed is an apparatus for detaching a component from a mounting surface to which the component is attached by an adhesive. The apparatus includes a right-angled hook, a curved hook, a connecting body and an adjusting member. On one side of the component, the right-angled hook protrudes into a first space between the component and the mounting surface. On another side of the component, the curved hook protrudes into a second space between the component and the mounting surface. The connecting body connects the right-angled hook and the curved hook. In response to a thermal process, the adhesion of the adhesive is reduced, and an adjustment of the adjusting member allows the curved hook to provide a shear force in order to detach the component from the mounting surface. A method for detaching a component from a mounting surface is also disclosed.
