Abstract
The technology relates to a memory insertion machine for inserting memory modules into memory sockets on a circuit board. The memory insertion machine may include one or more insertion rods moveably mounted to one or more vertical guides and an insertion controller. The insertion controller may be configured to apply an insertion force to a memory module in a memory socket by controlling the movement of the one or more insertion rods on the one or more vertical guides. The movement of the one or more insertion rods may have a gradually decreasing deceleration as the insertion rods move towards the memory socket.
Claims20
A memory insertion machine comprising:
- one or more insertion rods moveably mounted to one or more vertical guides;
- and
- an insertion controller, wherein the insertion controller is configured to:
- apply, by controlling movement of the one or more insertion rods on the one or more vertical guides, an insertion force to a memory module in a memory socket,
- wherein the movement of the one or more insertion rods has a gradually decreasing deceleration as the insertion rods move towards the memory socket.
A method for inserting one or more memory modules into one or more memory sockets comprising:
- applying, by one or more insertion rods, an insertion force to one of the memory modules in a corresponding one of the memory sockets, such that movement of the one of the memory modules has a gradually decreasing deceleration as the one of the memory modules moves towards the corresponding one of the memory sockets;
- and
- controlling, by an insertion controller, the insertion force applied to the memory module by the one or more insertion rods based on the measured distance, the insertion controller configured to cease applying the insertion force by the one or more insertion rods when a target distance is reached.
