  • Patent number: 6967474
    Abstract: A device for positioning an electronic test head with respect to a manipulator for manipulating electronic components, in particular integrated circuits, includes a supporting structure fitted to a base, a frame to which the electronic head is connectable, and an actuating assembly for moving the frame with respect to the supporting structure; the base has a number of shoes, e.g. compressed-air shoes, cooperating with a supporting surface; when idle, the base rests on the supporting surface by means of the shoes; when compressed air is supplied to the shoes, the shoes are raised vertically by a few microns with respect to the supporting surface; in which condition, the device is supported hydrostatically and substantially weightlessly with respect to the supporting surface, and the whole device can easily be moved manually by the operator in any direction parallel to the supporting surface.

  • Patent number: 5192907
    Abstract: A device in cludes two mechanisms mounted beside the two longitudinal sides of an adapter supporting the customary feelers of a test apparatus. Each mechanism is adustable transversely on the adapter, and includes a number of pulleys having coplanar parallel axes and engaging a respective edge of the printed circuit plate of an electronic module for testing. The mechanisms are activated by a common actuator against the action of springs so as to bring the plate into contact with the feelers. The pulleys of each mechanism are rotated simultaneously by a belt activated by a toothed drive roller so sized as to mesh with the respective mechanism regardless of the position of the same.
