Description

本発明は、電気検査装置に関する。 The present invention relates to an electrical inspection device.

プリント基板の製造現場では、複数のプローブ(電気接触子)を有する電気検査ヘッドをプリント基板に圧接し、プローブをプリント基板の測定点に接触させてプリント基板の電気的な特性を検査する電気検査装置が使用されている。従来の電気検査装置では、検査するプリント基板に反りやうねりがあると、電気検査ヘッドを圧接する際にプリント基板が位置ずれする場合がある。 At a printed circuit board manufacturing site, an electrical inspection head having multiple probes (electrical contacts) is pressed against the printed circuit board, and the probes are brought into contact with the measurement points of the printed circuit board to inspect the electrical characteristics of the printed circuit board. The device is in use. In a conventional electrical inspection device, if the printed circuit board to be inspected has a warp or undulation, the printed circuit board may be misaligned when the electrical inspection head is pressed against the printed circuit board.

そこで、例えば特開2010−237061公報には、プローブを案内する複数の貫通孔を有し、基板の一部の領域に圧接されるトレイ(板状体)を用いる電気検査装置が提案されている。前記公報には、基板の一部の領域を圧接することにより、基板全体を圧接する場合に比べて基板の位置ずれを抑制できると記載されている。 Therefore, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2010-237061 proposes an electrical inspection apparatus using a tray (plate-like body) having a plurality of through holes for guiding a probe and being pressure-welded to a part of a region of a substrate. .. The publication describes that by pressing a part of a region of a substrate, the displacement of the substrate can be suppressed as compared with the case where the entire substrate is pressed.

近年、プリント基板の配線密度がますます大きくなっており、前記公報に記載されるようにプリント基板の比較的小さい領域に板状体を圧接する場合でも、プリント基板の反りやうねりに起因する位置ずれにより、プローブがプリント基板の測定点から外れてプリント基板の特性を正確に検査できないことがある。 In recent years, the wiring density of printed circuit boards has become more and more high, and even when a plate-like body is pressed against a relatively small area of the printed circuit board as described in the above-mentioned publication, the position caused by the warp or waviness of the printed circuit board. Due to the deviation, the probe may deviate from the measurement point of the printed circuit board and the characteristics of the printed circuit board may not be accurately inspected.

特開2010−237061公報JP-A-2010-237061

前記不都合に鑑みて、本発明は、プリント基板に比較的正確にプローブを当接させられる電気検査装置を提供することを課題とする。 In view of the above inconvenience, it is an object of the present invention to provide an electrical inspection apparatus capable of contacting a probe with a printed circuit board relatively accurately.

前記課題を解決するためになされた発明は、複数のプローブを有する電気検査ヘッドを駆動するヘッド駆動機構と、プリント基板の位置情報を取得する画像処理デバイスとを備え、前記電気検査ヘッドをプリント基板の検査対象部に正対させ、プリント基板に対して法線方向から複数のプローブを接触させる電気検査装置であって、前記プリント基板の平面視で前記プリント基板の検査対象部の周囲に法線方向に圧接する矯正部材と、前記矯正部材を電気検査ヘッドから独立して検査対象部に正対するようプリント基板の平面方向に位置決めしてプリント基板の法線方向に移動させる矯正部材駆動機構とを備えることを特徴とする電気検査装置である。 The invention made to solve the above problems includes a head drive mechanism for driving an electrical inspection head having a plurality of probes and an image processing device for acquiring position information of the printed circuit board, and the electrical inspection head is mounted on the printed circuit board. This is an electrical inspection device that makes a plurality of probes come into contact with the printed circuit board from the normal direction so as to face the inspection target portion of the printed circuit board, and has a normal around the inspection target portion of the printed circuit board in a plan view of the printed circuit board. A straightening member that presses in the direction and a straightening member driving mechanism that positions the straightening member in the plane direction of the printed circuit board so as to face the inspection target portion independently of the electrical inspection head and moves the straightening member in the normal direction of the printed circuit board. It is an electric inspection device characterized by being provided.

1対の前記矯正部材がプリント基板を挟んで対向するよう配設されるとよい。 It is preferable that the pair of the straightening members are arranged so as to face each other with the printed circuit board in between.

前記矯正部材でプリント基板を圧接するよう前記矯正部材駆動機構を制御した後、前記画像処理デバイスにより位置情報を取得して電気検査ヘッドを位置決めするコントローラーをさらに備えるとよい。 After controlling the straightening member driving mechanism so that the straightening member press-contacts the printed circuit board, it is preferable to further include a controller that acquires position information by the image processing device and positions the electrical inspection head.

前記矯正部材が枠状であるとよい。 It is preferable that the straightening member has a frame shape.

前記矯正部材の開口面積としては、電気検査ヘッドの当接面の面積の1.1倍以上10倍以下が好ましい。 The opening area of the straightening member is preferably 1.1 times or more and 10 times or less the area of the contact surface of the electrical inspection head.

前記矯正部材が、圧接によりプリント基板に張力を付与する機構を有するとよい。 It is preferable that the straightening member has a mechanism for applying tension to the printed circuit board by pressure welding.

本発明の電気検査装置は、前記1対の矯正部材と、前記矯正部材駆動機構とを備えることによって、前記矯正部材によってプリント基板の検査対象部の周囲を圧接してから、電気検査ヘッドを位置決めしてプリント基板の検査対象部に圧接することができる。このように、当該電気検査装置は、電気検査ヘッドをプリント基板に圧接する前に、矯正部材でプリント基板を圧接することでプリント基板の反りやうねりを取り除くことができるので、プリント基板に電気検査ヘッドを圧接する際にはプリント基板が位置ずれしにくい。このため、当該電気検査装置は、プリント基板に比較的正確にプローブを当接させられる。 The electrical inspection device of the present invention includes the pair of straightening members and the straightening member driving mechanism, so that the straightening member presses the periphery of the inspection target portion of the printed circuit board, and then positions the electrical inspection head. Then, it can be pressure-welded to the inspection target portion of the printed circuit board. In this way, the electrical inspection device can remove the warp and waviness of the printed circuit board by pressing the printed circuit board with a straightening member before the electrical inspection head is pressed against the printed circuit board. The printed circuit board does not easily shift when the head is pressed. Therefore, the electrical inspection device can bring the probe into contact with the printed circuit board relatively accurately.

以下、適宜図面を参照しつつ、本発明の実施の形態を詳説する。 Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings as appropriate.

[電気検査装置]
図1に示す本発明の一実施形態に係る電気検査装置は、複数のプローブ1を有する1対の電気検査ヘッド2をプリント基板Pの検査対象部の表裏に正対させてプリント基板Pに法線方向に複数のプローブ1を接触させることにより、プリント基板Pの電気的特性を検査する装置である。当該電気検査装置は、可撓性を有し、反りやうねりが生じ得るプリント基板Pの電気的特性を検査するために用いることができる。
[Electrical inspection equipment]
In the electrical inspection apparatus according to the embodiment of the present invention shown in FIG. 1, a pair of electrical inspection heads 2 having a plurality of probes 1 are placed facing the front and back of an inspection target portion of the printed circuit board P, and the printed circuit board P is subjected to a method. This device inspects the electrical characteristics of the printed circuit board P by bringing a plurality of probes 1 into contact with each other in the linear direction. The electrical inspection device can be used to inspect the electrical properties of the printed circuit board P, which is flexible and can cause warpage and waviness.

当該電気検査装置は、1対の電気検査ヘッド2を駆動するヘッド駆動機構3と、プリント基板Pの位置情報を取得する画像処理デバイス4と、平面視でプリント基板Pの検査対象部の周囲に法線方向に表裏からそれぞれ圧接する1対の矯正部材5と、1対の矯正部材5を電気検査ヘッド2から独立して検査対象部に正対するようプリント基板Pの平面方向に位置決めすると共にプリント基板Pの法線方向に矯正部材5を移動させる矯正部材駆動機構6と、画像処理デバイス4により取得した位置情報に基づいてヘッド駆動機構3及び矯正部材駆動機構6を制御するコントローラー7とを備える。 The electrical inspection device includes a head drive mechanism 3 that drives a pair of electrical inspection heads 2, an image processing device 4 that acquires position information of the printed circuit board P, and a plan view around the inspection target portion of the printed circuit board P. A pair of straightening members 5 and a pair of straightening members 5 that are pressure-welded from the front and back in the normal direction are positioned in the plane direction of the printed circuit board P so as to face the inspection target portion independently of the electrical inspection head 2 and printed. It includes a straightening member driving mechanism 6 that moves the straightening member 5 in the normal direction of the substrate P, and a controller 7 that controls the head driving mechanism 3 and the straightening member driving mechanism 6 based on the position information acquired by the image processing device 4. ..

当該電気検査装置は、各構成要素を支持する不図示のフレームや、プリント基板Pの周縁部を保持する部材等をさらに備えることができる。 The electrical inspection device may further include a frame (not shown) that supports each component, a member that holds a peripheral edge of the printed circuit board P, and the like.

<プリント基板>
当該電気検査装置により電気的特性を検査するプリント基板Pとしては、典型的には、可撓性を有するシート状の基材の上に複数の機能部が形成され、最終的に各機能部を含む部分を切り出して複数の電子部品を得るものが想定される。
<Printed circuit board>
The printed circuit board P for inspecting electrical characteristics by the electrical inspection device typically has a plurality of functional parts formed on a flexible sheet-like base material, and finally each functional part is formed. It is assumed that a plurality of electronic components are obtained by cutting out the including part.

このようなプリント基板Pは、個々の機能部又は少数の機能部を含む比較的小さい領域が1対の電気検査ヘッド2によって検査される検査対象部とされる。換言すると、プリント基板Pは、複数の検査対象部を有する。このため、プリント基板Pは、電気検査ヘッド2が場所を変えて繰り返し圧接されて、各検査対象部の電気的特性が順番に検査される。 Such a printed circuit board P is an inspection target portion in which a relatively small area including individual functional parts or a small number of functional parts is inspected by a pair of electrical inspection heads 2. In other words, the printed circuit board P has a plurality of inspection target portions. Therefore, in the printed circuit board P, the electrical inspection head 2 is repeatedly pressure-welded at different locations, and the electrical characteristics of each inspection target portion are inspected in order.

<電気検査ヘッド>
1対の電気検査ヘッド2は、プリント基板Pに対向し、それぞれプローブ1を案内する複数のガイド孔を有するガイドプレート8を有する。電気検査ヘッド2において、複数のプローブ1は、ガイド孔に挿入され、ガイドプレート8に垂直、かつそれぞれの先端がガイドプレート8から突出するよう保持される。
<Electrical inspection head>
The pair of electrical inspection heads 2 have a guide plate 8 facing the printed circuit board P and each having a plurality of guide holes for guiding the probe 1. In the electrical inspection head 2, the plurality of probes 1 are inserted into the guide holes and held so as to be perpendicular to the guide plate 8 and their respective tips project from the guide plate 8.

複数のプローブ1は、プリント基板Pの導電パターンの複数の測定点に当接するよう配置される。なお、プリント基板Pの導電パターンは表裏で異なり得るため、1対の電気検査ヘッド2における複数のプローブ1の配置は互いに異なってもよい。 The plurality of probes 1 are arranged so as to abut against a plurality of measurement points of the conductive pattern of the printed circuit board P. Since the conductive patterns of the printed circuit board P can be different on the front and back sides, the arrangement of the plurality of probes 1 in the pair of electrical inspection heads 2 may be different from each other.

<ヘッド駆動機構>
ヘッド駆動機構3は、電気検査ヘッド2の3次元の位置決めを行うことができるものであればよく、さらにプリント基板Pの法線方向の軸を中心に電気検査ヘッド2の回転位置決めを行うことができるものが好ましい。
<Head drive mechanism>
The head drive mechanism 3 may be any as long as it can perform three-dimensional positioning of the electrical inspection head 2, and further, rotational positioning of the electrical inspection head 2 can be performed around an axis in the normal direction of the printed circuit board P. What can be done is preferable.

ヘッド駆動機構3としては、多関節ロボットを用いてもよいが、コスト及び占有スペースが比較的小さい直交座標型駆動システムを採用することが好ましい。この直交座標型駆動システムとしては、プリント基板Pの平面方向に2軸の位置決めが可能な直交座標型ロボットと、この直交座標型ロボットの末端に配設される昇降デバイスと、この昇降デバイスにより昇降可能に保持され、電気検査ヘッド2を回転位置決め可能に保持する回転位置決めデバイスとを備える構成とすることができる。 An articulated robot may be used as the head drive mechanism 3, but it is preferable to adopt a Cartesian coordinate type drive system having a relatively small cost and occupied space. The Cartesian coordinate drive system includes an Cartesian coordinate robot capable of positioning two axes in the plane direction of the printed substrate P, an elevating device arranged at the end of the Cartesian robot, and an elevating device. It can be configured to include a rotational positioning device that can be held and holds the electrical inspection head 2 so that it can be rotationally positioned.

ヘッド駆動機構3は、1対の電気検査ヘッド2を独立して駆動する1対の機構であってもよく、1対の電気検査ヘッド2をプリント基板Pを挟んで鏡写しに駆動する単一の機構であってもよい。 The head drive mechanism 3 may be a pair of mechanisms that independently drive a pair of electrical inspection heads 2, and a single mechanism that drives the pair of electrical inspection heads 2 in a mirror image with the printed circuit board P sandwiched between them. It may be the mechanism of.

<画像処理デバイス>
画像処理デバイス4は、ディジタル画像を撮影するカメラと、このカメラが撮影したディジタル画像を処理する処理部とを備える公知のデバイスを用いることができる。
<Image processing device>
As the image processing device 4, a known device including a camera that captures a digital image and a processing unit that processes the digital image captured by the camera can be used.

この画像処理デバイス4の処理部は、後述するコントローラー7と一体に構成されてもよい。つまり、画像処理デバイス4の処理部は、コントローラー7を構成するコンピューターによって処理されるプログラムの一部であってもよい。 The processing unit of the image processing device 4 may be integrally configured with the controller 7, which will be described later. That is, the processing unit of the image processing device 4 may be a part of a program processed by the computer constituting the controller 7.

画像処理デバイス4のカメラは、独立して保持されてもよいが、ヘッド駆動機構3によって電気検査ヘッド2と共に少なくともプリント基板Pの平面方向に移動可能に保持されるとよい。画像処理デバイス4のカメラを電気検査ヘッド2と共に移動させることにより画像処理の範囲を限定し、必要とされるカメラの画素数及び処理部の演算能力が比較的小さくなるので、当該電気検査装置を比較的安価にできると共に、プリント基板Pの検査サイクルを短縮することができる。 The camera of the image processing device 4 may be held independently, but it is preferable that the camera is held by the head drive mechanism 3 so as to be movable at least in the plane direction of the printed circuit board P together with the electrical inspection head 2. By moving the camera of the image processing device 4 together with the electrical inspection head 2, the range of image processing is limited, and the required number of pixels of the camera and the computing power of the processing unit are relatively small. It can be made relatively inexpensive and the inspection cycle of the printed circuit board P can be shortened.

画像処理デバイス4のカメラによる撮影範囲の面積の下限としては、電気検査ヘッド2の当接面(ガイドプレート8)の面積の1.1倍が好ましく、1.2倍がより好ましい。一方、画像処理デバイス4のカメラによる撮影範囲の面積の上限としては、電気検査ヘッド2の当接面の面積の10倍が好ましく、5倍がより好ましい。画像処理デバイス4のカメラによる撮影範囲の面積が前記下限に満たない場合、測定対象部の位置情報を取得することができないおそれがある。逆に、画像処理デバイス4のカメラによる撮影範囲の面積が前記上限を超える場合、画像処理の演算負荷が不必要に増大するおそれがある。 The lower limit of the area of the imaging range of the image processing device 4 by the camera is preferably 1.1 times, more preferably 1.2 times, the area of the contact surface (guide plate 8) of the electrical inspection head 2. On the other hand, the upper limit of the area of the imaging range of the image processing device 4 by the camera is preferably 10 times, more preferably 5 times, the area of the contact surface of the electrical inspection head 2. If the area of the shooting range taken by the camera of the image processing device 4 is less than the lower limit, the position information of the measurement target portion may not be acquired. On the contrary, when the area of the shooting range by the camera of the image processing device 4 exceeds the upper limit, the calculation load of the image processing may be unnecessarily increased.

画像処理デバイス4による位置情報の取得は、カメラが撮影したディジタル画像の中から、公知の画像処理技術によりディジタル画像におけるプリント基板Pの検査対象部の特徴点の座標を特定することによって、カメラとプリント基板Pの検査対象部との相対位置、ひいてはプリント基板Pの検査対象部の絶対位置を特定する。 The position information is acquired by the image processing device 4 by specifying the coordinates of the feature points of the inspection target portion of the printed substrate P in the digital image from the digital images taken by the camera by a known image processing technique. The relative position of the printed substrate P with respect to the inspection target portion, and by extension, the absolute position of the inspection target portion of the printed substrate P is specified.

画像処理デバイス4のカメラによってプリント基板Pのディジタル画像を撮影する際、カメラのプリント基板Pの法線方向の位置(プリント基板Pからの離間距離)を一定にすることによって、カメラとプリント基板Pの検査対象部との平面方向の相対位置の絶対量を比較的容易に算出することができる。 When a digital image of the printed circuit board P is taken by the camera of the image processing device 4, the position of the printed circuit board P of the camera in the normal direction (distance from the printed circuit board P) is made constant, so that the camera and the printed circuit board P are taken. The absolute amount of the position relative to the inspection target portion in the plane direction can be calculated relatively easily.

画像処理において抽出する特徴点は、プリント基板Pの導電パターンの中で予め設定される特徴的な形状の部分であってもよく、プロント基板Pに画像処理専用に設けられるマーキングであってもよい。 The feature point extracted in the image processing may be a portion having a characteristic shape preset in the conductive pattern of the printed circuit board P, or may be a marking provided on the Pronto substrate P exclusively for image processing. ..

<矯正部材>
1対の矯正部材5は、プリント基板Pを挟んで対向し、プリント基板Pの電気検査ヘッド2を圧接すべき検査対象部の周囲に表裏から法線方向に圧接することでプリント基板Pを挟持し、これによって検査対象部の反りやうねりを取り除く。
<Orthodontic member>
The pair of straightening members 5 face each other with the printed circuit board P in between, and the printed circuit board P is sandwiched by pressing the electrical inspection head 2 of the printed circuit board P around the inspection target portion to be pressed in the normal direction from the front and back. This removes the warp and swell of the part to be inspected.

このため、矯正部材5のプリント基板Pに対する当接面は、プリント基板Pと平行な平面状とされる。 Therefore, the contact surface of the straightening member 5 with respect to the printed circuit board P is a flat surface parallel to the printed circuit board P.

矯正部材5のプリント基板Pに対する当接面の材質としては、プリント基板Pを傷つけないように柔軟性を有する樹脂等が好適に用いられる。 As the material of the contact surface of the straightening member 5 with respect to the printed circuit board P, a resin or the like having flexibility so as not to damage the printed circuit board P is preferably used.

矯正部材5のプリント基板Pに当接する部分の平面形状としては、少なくともプリント基板Pの検査対象部を挟み込む少なくとも2点に当接するものであればよいが、典型的には、検査対象部を略取り囲み、内側に電気検査ヘッド2を挿入可能な枠状とされる。矯正部材5を枠状とすれば、プリント基板P検査対象部の周囲を全周に亘って挟持することができるので、反りやうねりの向きに拘わらず、プリント基板Pの反りやうねりを比較的確実に除去することができる。 The planar shape of the portion of the straightening member 5 that abuts on the printed circuit board P may be at least one that abuts on at least two points that sandwich the inspection target portion of the printed circuit board P, but typically, the inspection target portion is omitted. It has a frame shape that surrounds it and allows the electrical inspection head 2 to be inserted inside. If the straightening member 5 has a frame shape, the periphery of the printed circuit board P inspection target portion can be sandwiched over the entire circumference, so that the warp or swell of the printed circuit board P is relatively small regardless of the direction of the warp or swell. It can be reliably removed.

矯正部材5を枠状とする場合、その開口面積の下限としては、電気検査ヘッド2の当接面(ガイドプレート8)の面積の1.1倍が好ましく、1.2倍がより好ましい。一方、矯正部材5の開口面積の上限としては、電気検査ヘッド2の当接面の面積の10倍が好ましく、5倍がより好ましい。矯正部材5の開口面積が前記下限に満たない場合、矯正部材5が電気検査ヘッド2に干渉して電気検査ヘッド2をプリント基板Pに対して正確に位置決めして圧接することができないおそれがある。逆に、矯正部材5の開口面積が前記上限を超える場合、平面視で矯正部材5の開口内のプリント基板Pに反りやうねりが残存して、電気検査ヘッド2の圧接時にプリント基板Pが位置ずれすることよりプリント基板Pの電気的特性を正確に検査できないおそれがある。 When the straightening member 5 has a frame shape, the lower limit of the opening area is preferably 1.1 times, more preferably 1.2 times, the area of the contact surface (guide plate 8) of the electrical inspection head 2. On the other hand, the upper limit of the opening area of the straightening member 5 is preferably 10 times, more preferably 5 times, the area of the contact surface of the electrical inspection head 2. If the opening area of the straightening member 5 is less than the lower limit, the straightening member 5 may interfere with the electrical inspection head 2 and the electrical inspection head 2 may not be accurately positioned and pressure-welded to the printed circuit board P. .. On the contrary, when the opening area of the straightening member 5 exceeds the upper limit, the printed circuit board P in the opening of the straightening member 5 remains warped or wavy in a plan view, and the printed circuit board P is positioned at the time of pressure welding of the electrical inspection head 2. Due to the deviation, the electrical characteristics of the printed circuit board P may not be accurately inspected.

なお、具体的な開口面積はプリント基板Pの平面状態に応じて決定するとよい。具体的には、プリント基板Pの反りやうねりが比較的大きいの場合、矯正部材5の開口面積は小さいことが好ましい。逆にプリント基板Pの反りやうねりが比較的小さい場合、矯正部材5の開口内に複数の測定対象部が含まれるようにして、1回の矯正部材5の位置決めにより複数回の電気検査を行うことで、プリント基板P全体の電気検査に要する時間を短縮することができる。 The specific opening area may be determined according to the flat state of the printed circuit board P. Specifically, when the warp or waviness of the printed circuit board P is relatively large, it is preferable that the opening area of the straightening member 5 is small. On the contrary, when the warp or waviness of the printed circuit board P is relatively small, a plurality of measurement target portions are included in the opening of the straightening member 5, and a plurality of electrical inspections are performed by positioning the straightening member 5 once. As a result, the time required for the electrical inspection of the entire printed circuit board P can be shortened.

矯正部材5は、単にプリント基板Pに圧接されるだけの可動部を有しないものであってもよいが、圧接によってプリント基板Pに張力を付与する機構(張力付与機構)を有するとよい。 The straightening member 5 may not have a movable portion that is simply pressed against the printed circuit board P, but may have a mechanism (tension applying mechanism) that applies tension to the printed circuit board P by pressure welding.

当該電気検査装置は、矯正部材5が張力付与機構を有することによって、より確実にプリント基板Pの反りやうねりを除去することができる。 Since the straightening member 5 has a tension applying mechanism, the electrical inspection device can more reliably remove the warp and waviness of the printed circuit board P.

この張力付与機構を有する矯正部材5の構成としては、一例として、図2に示すように、後述する矯正部材駆動機構6に保持される矯正部材本体9と、この矯正部材本体9にプリント基板Pの法線方向に対して傾斜する方向にスライド可能に取り付けられる圧接体10と、この圧接体10をプリント基板Pに向かって矯正部材本体9よりも突出させる圧縮バネ11とを備えるものとすることができる。つまり、張力付与機構としては、楔又は直動カムを用いてプリント基板Pへの圧接力をプリント基板Pに平面方向に作用する張力に変換する機構を採用することができる。 As an example of the configuration of the straightening member 5 having the tension applying mechanism, as shown in FIG. 2, the straightening member main body 9 held by the straightening member driving mechanism 6 described later and the printed circuit board P on the straightening member main body 9 It is provided with a pressure contact body 10 slidably attached in a direction inclined with respect to the normal direction of the above, and a compression spring 11 that projects the pressure contact body 10 toward the printed circuit board P from the straightening member main body 9. Can be done. That is, as the tension applying mechanism, a mechanism that converts the pressure contact force on the printed circuit board P into the tension acting on the printed circuit board P in the plane direction by using a wedge or a linear motion cam can be adopted.

図2の張力付与機構は、方形枠状の矯正部材本体9の四辺にそれぞれプリント基板Pに対する当接面を有する圧接体10がスライド可能に配設されている。各圧接体10は、圧縮バネ11の弾性力に抗してプリント基板Pと反対側に押込まれると、対向する圧接体10から遠ざかるよう設けられる。 In the tension applying mechanism of FIG. 2, pressure contact bodies 10 having contact surfaces with respect to the printed circuit board P are slidably arranged on each of the four sides of the square frame-shaped straightening member main body 9. Each pressure welding body 10 is provided so as to move away from the opposing pressure welding body 10 when pushed to the opposite side of the printed circuit board P against the elastic force of the compression spring 11.

張力付与機構を有する場合、矯正部材5のプリント基板Pに対する当接面は、プリント基板Pが平面方向に横滑りし難いようプリント基板Pに対する摩擦力が大きくなるゴム等から形成されることが好ましい。 When the tension applying mechanism is provided, the contact surface of the straightening member 5 with respect to the printed circuit board P is preferably formed of rubber or the like having a large frictional force with respect to the printed circuit board P so that the printed circuit board P does not easily slide in the plane direction.

また、張力付与機構は、プリント基板Pに対する当接面がプリント基板Pの表面を擦過して傷つけることを防止するため、圧接体10の間隔の過度の増大を防止できるよう矯正部材駆動機構6との間にバネを配設したり、圧接体10を弾性変形可能な材料で形成したりしてもよい。 Further, the tension applying mechanism is provided with the straightening member driving mechanism 6 so as to prevent the contact surface with the printed circuit board P from scratching and damaging the surface of the printed circuit board P, and thus preventing an excessive increase in the distance between the pressure contact bodies 10. A spring may be arranged between the two, or the pressure contact body 10 may be formed of an elastically deformable material.

対向する圧接体10の間隔のプリント基板Pに当接する前の間隔を基準とする変化率(最大間隔と最小間隔との差を最小間隔で除した値)の下限としては、0.05%が好ましく、0.1%がより好ましい。一方、対向する圧接体10の間隔の変化率の上限としては、2%が好ましく、1%がより好ましい。対向する圧接体10の間隔の変化率が前記下限に満たない場合、プリント基板Pの反りやうねりを除去する効果を十分に促進できないおそれがある。逆に、対向する圧接体10の間隔の変化率が前記上限を超える場合、圧接体10によりプリント基板Pの表面の擦過を防止することが困難となるおそれがある。 0.05% is the lower limit of the rate of change (value obtained by dividing the difference between the maximum interval and the minimum interval by the minimum interval) based on the interval before contacting the printed circuit board P at the interval of the opposing pressure welding bodies 10. Preferably, 0.1% is more preferable. On the other hand, the upper limit of the rate of change of the interval between the pressure welding bodies 10 facing each other is preferably 2%, more preferably 1%. If the rate of change in the distance between the pressure welding bodies 10 facing each other is less than the lower limit, the effect of removing the warp or waviness of the printed circuit board P may not be sufficiently promoted. On the contrary, when the rate of change of the interval between the pressure contact bodies 10 facing each other exceeds the upper limit, it may be difficult for the pressure contact body 10 to prevent the surface of the printed circuit board P from being scratched.
