Apparatus and method for testing printed circuit board

A printed circuit board testing method comprising:

• providing a storage system storing a unique identifier of each shielding box and a predetermined path of each shielding box;
• the unique identifier of each of the shielding boxes being capable of being marked to identify that the shielding box is open;
• the predetermined path of each shielding box being a shortest path that a robot moves along from a depot which stores a plurality of PCBs to be tested to the corresponding shielding box;
• the position of the depot being a preset position range;
• determining a position of the robot at predetermined time interval and determining whether the determined position of the robot is within the preset position range;
• determining whether one or more shielding boxes are open according to the unique identifiers of the shielding boxes when the determined position of the robot is within the preset position range;
• obtaining the predetermined path of each determined open shielding box from the storage system when one or more shielding boxes are open;
• and
• determining a shortest predetermined path among the obtained predetermined paths, and the open shielding box corresponding to the shortest predetermined path, and transmitting a control signal comprising the determined shortest predetermined path to the robot, to control the robot to carry the PCB to be tested from the depot to the determined open shielding box, and place the PCB to be tested into the determined open shielding box.

A non-transitory storage system storing a set of instructions, the set of instructions capable of being executed by a processor of an apparatus, causing the apparatus to perform a printed circuit board testing method, the method comprising:

• providing a storage system storing the unique identifier of each shielding box and a predetermined path of each shielding box;
• the unique identifier of each of the shielding boxes being capable of being marked to identify that the shielding box is open;
• the predetermined path of each shielding box being a shortest path that a robot moves along from a depot which stores a plurality of PCBs to be tested to the corresponding shielding box;
• the position of the depot being a preset position range;
• determining a position of the robot at predetermined time interval and determining whether the determined position of the robot is within the preset position range;
• determining whether one or more shielding boxes are open according to the unique identifiers of the shielding boxes when the determined position of the robot is within the preset position range;
• obtaining the predetermined path of each determined open shielding box from the storage system when one or more shielding boxes are open;
• and
• determining a shortest predetermined path among the obtained predetermined paths, and the open shielding box corresponding to the shortest predetermined path, and transmitting a control signal comprising the determined shortest predetermined path to the robot, to control the robot to carry the PCB to be tested from the depot to the determined open shielding box and place the PCB to be tested into the determined open shielding box.
