Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of FPC processing, and specifically, it is an automatic PIN - attaching and gluing assembly line for FPC cutting and assembling boards. Background Art

[0002] The existing processing technology of nailing and gluing generally consists of two process routes: manual nailing and manual gluing for pre - treated copper foil, backing plate, and cover plate. These two routes are independent of each other and are connected through operating procedures. From the pre - treated copper foil to the gluing stack, it is transported by a workshop transport cart to the nailing process. Then, the operator manually installs the hole of the wire board on the pin of the nailing copper plate, and the workpiece assembly is completed through four - side gluing, that is: Nailing process: Manual feeding → Nailing → Stacking; Gluing process: Manual feeding → Assembling the copper foil, backing plate, and cover plate together → Four - side gluing → Stacking;

[0003] From the above processes, it can be seen that the existing flexible board production process has the following defects:

[0004] 1. The copper foil needs to be transported and loaded / unloaded multiple times, resulting in long downtime and waiting time of production equipment.

[0005] 2. Workers need to transport and load / unload the PCB board multiple times, with high labor intensity.

[0006] 3. After multiple transports and loading / unloading operations, it is easy to cause scratches on the surface of the copper foil and backing plate, unstable surface quality, low production efficiency, and high labor costs.
