Abstract
Equipment for the automated affixation of contacts and contact housings to segments of flexible printed circuits includes a holding device which holds the segment and raises the segment up from a starting position in the plane of the flexible printed circuit. The segment is firmly retained during processing when a contact is applied and a housing mounted. After processing, the segment is returned to approximately its starting position. Detectors may be used to position the holding device as appropriate to process a desired segment which may be rotated upwardly along a circular guide into the processing position.
Claims11
Equipment for fitting out a flexible printed circuit having at least one segment comprising at least one conductor end, wherein the segment can be raised up for processing, characterised in that for handling the segment there is provided a holding device which raises the segment up from a starting position at the flexible printed circuit, firmly holds the segment for processing and returns the segment approximately into the starting position after the processing.
Equipment for fitting out a flexible printed circuit having at least one segment comprising at least one conductor end, wherein the segment can be raised up for processing, comprising at least one processing station for processing the at least one segment in at least one working step and a holding device for raising up and holding the segment during the processing.
