Abstract
A positioning device is provided for inserting a pin into a PCB. The positioning device includes an X-Y platform and a reference platform. The X-Y platform includes a positioning point and supports a PCB having a first receiving passageway for receiving a pin. The reference platform supports a reference template having a reference point that corresponds with the first receiving passageway. An x-axis guide rail and a y-axis guide rail is disposed on the X-Y platform, such that the positioning point on the X-Y platform is moveable relative to the reference template in an x-axis direction and/or a y-axis direction to align the first receiving passageway on the PCB with a fixed insertion point of a pin insertion machine.
Claims9
A positioning device, comprising:
- an X-Y platform having a positioning point and supporting a printed circuit board having a first receiving passageway for receiving a pin;
- a reference platform supporting a reference template having a reference point corresponding to the first receiving passageway;
- and
- an x-axis guide rail and a y-axis guide rail disposed on the X-Y platform;
- wherein the positioning point on the X-Y platform is moveable relative to the reference template in at least one of an x-axis direction and a y-axis direction to align the first receiving passageway with a fixed insertion point where the pin is inserted into the first receiving passageway.
