[0002] At present, the existing vehicle-mounted industry parts have different processes, and the parts responsible for each department are also quite different. There are many detection methods for different parts. As a supplier of full-automatic vehicle-mounted PCB double plug-wire detection non-standard equipment, after years of market analysis and investigation, the detection method that can effectively save time for the production of products that meet the existing products of customers is made. In the detection method, FPC (FPC is the abbreviation of Flexible Printed Circuit, also known as flexible printed circuit board) and FFC (FFC cable is also called Flexible Flat Cable) are used. After the FPC is inserted, the lamp decoration is powered on to detect. However, due to the high precision requirement of the insertion slot, the light can only be turned on within ± 0.01mm, and due to the extremely short tact time requirement of individual stations, the double plug-wire must be completed at the same time, so the vehicle-mounted lamp decoration double plug-wire system needs to be developed.

However, at present, there are many types of FPC, and the probe material and shape that can be suitable for the product directly affect the service life. For the requirements of customers, it is required to reduce the FPC loss rate, increase the service life, and make the controllable and stable power-on picture detection within the visual detection range.
