SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DETECTING CONNECTOR PIN INSERTION IN PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD ASSEMBLIES

摘要

A pin detection system detects connection pin insertion in a printed circuit board assembly. The printed circuit board assembly comprises a printed circuit board having multiple wells and one or more connectors having pins that are inserted into the wells of the printed circuit board. The system comprises a conveyer, a stage assembly and a sensor. The conveyer is provided for conveying a printed circuit board assembly under test to an optimal position for conducting inspection. The stage assembly is used for conveying the sensor to specific areas of interest of the printed circuit board assembly under test. The sensor is provided for detecting pin insertion in the wells using a laser beam.
