Abstract:
A load port adapter is a load port adapter fixable on a mounting table of a load port. The load port adapter includes a holder capable of holding a cassette capable of accommodating a plurality of circuit boards. The holder is fixable on the mounting table of the load port. The holder includes a position adjustment mechanism configured to position the cassette at a reference position. In the cassette clamped on the load port adapter, the reference position is a reference position on a load port adapter side when the circuit board is taken out from the cassette.
Abstract:
Provided is a method of designing a circuit board inspecting jig having a contact to be brought into conductive contact with a test point on a circuit board to be inspected. The method includes: preparing temporary design data by temporarily designing the circuit board inspecting jig based on design data for the circuit board to be inspected (a first designing process); acquiring an expansion and contraction ratio of the circuit board based on a condition upon manufacturing the circuit board (and an environmental condition upon inspecting the circuit board) (an expansion and contraction ratio acquiring process); and obtaining design data for the circuit board inspecting jig to be actually manufactured by scaling the temporary design data up and down by the expansion and contraction ratio (a second designing process).
Abstract:
A flexible circuit board inspecting apparatus for conducting an inspection on a flexible circuit board includes a transport path and an inspection part mechanism. The transport path is configured to successively transport the flexible circuit board having a plurality of unit circuit boards arranged thereon. The inspection part mechanism is configured to bring and distance a jig for inspecting the flexible circuit board transported on the transport path close to and from the flexible circuit board. The transport path includes a longitudinal transport portion for transporting the flexible circuit board in a downward vertical direction. The inspection part mechanism moves the jig in a direction perpendicular to the flexible circuit board transported on the longitudinal transport portion to bring and distance the jig close to and from the flexible circuit board.
Abstract:
A circuit board inspecting apparatus includes a rotary table having a mount surface, a rotary table support section, a suction device, a suction path having a first end connected to the suction device and a second end located at the mount surface, an adsorption mechanism that adsorbs the board onto the mount surface so that the suction device sucks in gas in the suction path, a flow rate detection section that detects a flow rate of gas flowing through a portion of the suction path, the portion located inside the rotary table support section, a flow rate determination section that determines whether the flow rate of the gas detected by the flow rate detection section is equal to or more than a predetermined value, a contactless detection section that detects a placement state of the board on the mount surface in a contactless manner, and an inspection section.
Abstract:
An inspection apparatus is provided with a holder configured to set an inspection target thereon, the inspection target configured to detect a contact position on the inspection target touched by a human finger; pseudo finger(s) configured to be detected as the human finger upon contact with the inspection target; a positioner configured to move the pseudo finger(s) relative to the inspection target and to change the contact position of the pseudo finger(s) relative to the inspection target; a memory configured to store, respectively, a value of a pressing force in a range of pressing forces said range including a zero pressing force for each of the pseudo finger(s) on the inspection target; a controller configured to regulate the pressing force for pseudo finger(s) of the pseudo finger(s) based on the respective value; and a sensor configured to acquire an electric signal output from the inspection target.
