Abstract
Filling assembly for filling holes formed in a plate, such as a printed circuit board, with a filing material, comprising a support device for supporting the plate, a filling device having a filling material source and a feeding channel connected to the filling material source for feeding filling material from the filling material source to the plate supported by the support device, wherein the feeding channel leads to an output opening held adjoining the plate for filling the filling material into the respective hole of the supported plate, and a vibration device connected to a side wall of the feeding channel, by which the side wall can be vibrated at a particular frequency transverse to the feeding channel, such that the feeding channel is correspondingly diminished at least adjacent to its output opening periodically.

Filling assembly for filling holes formed in a plate with a filling material, comprising:
- a support device for supporting the plate,
- a filling device having a filling material source and a feeding device connected to the filling material source and having a feeding channel arranged in a filling head for feeding filling material from the filling material source to the plate supported by the support device, the feeding channel leading to an output opening held adjacent to the plate, for filling the filling material into the respective holes of the supported plate, wherein the feeding device with the filling head thereof and the support device are moveable relative to each other,
- a vibration device connected to a side wall of the feeding channel, by which the side wall of the feeding channel can be vibrated at a particular frequency such that the feeding channel is narrowed periodically at least adjacent to its output opening, and
- a suction device having a suction channel provided in the filling head and leading to a suction opening adjacent to the output opening for evacuation of the respective holes directly before the holes are filled,
- the feeding channel, at least directly adjacent to its output opening, as well as the suction channel are arranged to be inclined.
Filling assembly for filling holes formed in a plate with a filling material, comprising:
- a support device for supporting the plate;
- a filling head;
- a filling device having
- a filling material source, and
- a feeding channel passing through said filling head and in communication with said filling material source adapted to feed filling material from said filing material source to the plate supported by said support device, said feeding channel including
- at least two walls opposed to each other, said at least two walls are inclined relative to said support device, and
- an output opening partially defined by said at least two walls, said output opening held adjacent to the plate for filling the filling material into the respective holes of the supported plate;
- a suction device having a suction channel provided in said filling head and leading to a suction opening adjacent to the output opening for evacuation of the respective holes directly before the holes are filled;
- and
- a vibration device connected to one of said at least two walls of said feeding channel, by which said wall of said feeding channel can be vibrated at a particular frequency such that said feeding channel proximate said output opening is narrowed periodically, and
- wherein said filling head and said support device are moveable relative to each other.
Filling assembly for filling holes formed in a plate with a filling material, comprising:
- a support device for supporting the plate;
- a filling head;
- a filling device having
- a filling material source, and
- a feeding channel passing through said filling head and in communication with said filling material source adapted to feed filling material from said filing material source to the plate supported by said support device, said feeding channel is inclined relative to said support device such that opposing surfaces inside of said feeding channel are parallel, said feeding channel including
- at least one wall, and
- an output opening partially defined by said at least one wall, said output opening held adjacent to the plate for filling the filling material into the respective holes of the supported plate;
- a suction device having a suction channel provided in said filling head and leading to a suction opening adjacent to the output opening for evacuation of the respective holes directly before the holes are filled;
- and
- a vibration device in communication with one of said at least one wall of said feeding channel, by which said surface of said feeding channel can be vibrated at a particular frequency such that said output opening of said feeding channel is narrowed periodically, and
- wherein said filling head and said support device are moveable relative to each other.
