  • Patent number: 7332905
    Abstract: A fixture for clamping and fixing a circuit board is provided. The fixture includes a base and a moving element. The base includes a first supporting board and a second supporting board disposed on the first supporting board. At least one positioning bump is disposed on the second supporting board, and at least one hole is formed on a side of the first supporting board. The moving element includes at least one guide rod which passes through the hole of the base, such that a clamping space is formed between the moving element and the base. Circuit boards with different dimensions can be fixed in place by adjusting the width of the clamping space. Furthermore, a plate element is disposed on the second supporting board and thereby fixed to the circuit board. The clamping space is adjusted by the moving element and thereby made larger and more flexible, thus the clamping space is suitable for circuit boards of different styles and dimensions.

  • Publication number: 20070214594
    Abstract: A circuit board surface cleaning device is provided for cleaning a surface of a circuit board placed on a carrier during a manufacturing process of the circuit board. The circuit board surface cleaning device includes a pipe having an air outlet and mounted on the carrier, and at least one airflow pipeline connected to one end of the pipe, allowing air from the airflow pipeline to be output through the air outlet to the surface of the circuit board so as to remove contaminants on the surface of the circuit board, which can increase the quality of the circuit board and reduce damage to the manufacturing equipment for the circuit board.

  • Publication number: 20070113717
    Abstract: A cutting fixture for a printed circuit board mounted with electronic components is proposed. The cutting fixture includes a base and a replaceable cover plate mounted on the base. The cover plate has openings for receiving the electronic components of the printed circuit board, cutting through holes for allowing a cutting tool to pass through, guide blocks for engaging lateral sides of the printed circuit board, and positioning posts for fixing the printed circuit board to the cover plate. Thus, a printed circuit board mounted with electronic components can be quickly and accurately fixed to the cutting fixture, thereby improving the cutting efficiency and cutting quality.

  • Publication number: 20070068999
    Abstract: A method for inspecting manually inserted components is proposed, which is used to inspect whether the manually inserted components are correctly assembled on the circuit board. The method for inspecting manually inserted component implements the steps of first inserting the manually inserted components into corresponding positions on the surface of the circuit board, then covering a masking board on the surface of the circuit board, and forming a plurality of openings on the masking board corresponding to where the manually inserted component is assembled on the surface of the circuit board, exposing only the manually inserted components so as to facilitate in inspecting the arrangement of these components inserted on the circuit board and holding these components in place when subsequent soldering process is performed.
