Printed circuit board assembly apparatus comprises means for supporting a printed circuit beard (20) for assembly of components on one side of the board by inserting leads of the components into corresponding sholes (2, 3) formed in the circuit board at predetermined locations, light projecting means (4) for illuminating from the one side of the board the holes intended to receive the leads of a selected component and cutting means (5) for cropping and crimping the leads of the component projecting from the other side of the board after assembly of the component on the board, the cutting means (5) comprising a pair of cutters (28) mounted on a rotatable carrier (21-23) for linear movement (27) in a pitch direction and each having a nip (31) to be aligned with a corresponding hole in the board (20) prior to the insertion of a corresponding component lead. Each of the cutters (28) comprises an optical sensing arrangement (40) having an optical axis disposed at a predetermined spacing (d) from the nip (31) of the cutters (28) in the pitch direction for sensing light transmitted through a hole (2, 3) in the board (20) with which the nip of the corresponding cutter is to be aligned, and control means are provided for first aligning the optical sensing arrangements (40) with a pair of holes (2, 3) with which the nips (31) of the cutters (28) are to be aligned and then displacing the cutters by the predetermined spacing (d) in the pitch direction to bring the nip of each cutter assembly into alignment with the repsective hole in the board (20). |
