Compensation tool for calibrating an electronic component testing machine to a standardized value

摘要

A compensation tool and process is provided for calibrating each test position located at a plurality of test modules of an electronic testing machine to a standardized value. Each test module is located on an angularly spaced radial line extending from an associated central axis and has a plurality of contacts for testing electronic components. The compensation tool can include a body having an axis of rotation coaxially alignable with the central axis for rotation to different angular positions and a component-support member operably associated with the body for indexing movement to selectively align a pocket with different contacts associated with each test position located at each of the plurality of test modules. The pocket of the component-support member receives an electronic component with terminated ends extending outwardly to allow electrical contact and testing of each test position located at each the plurality of test modules.
