Board fixturing system

摘要

A board fixturing system is described for interfacing a printed circuit board having electronic devices at predetermined locations thereon to a probe plate having electrical contacts at predetermined locations. The fixturing system is mechanical and avoids the problems and limitations of the conventional vacuum fixturing systems. The fixturing system includes a unique conveyor system which is capable of staging one board while testing another, i.e. one board can be tested while another board is advanced toward the test fixture. A cassette system for the probe plates is also provided.
