AI Technical Summary
In the existing FPC soft plate stacking technology, due to the existence of steel sheets and FR4 materials, the surface of the FPC soft plate is uneven, which in turn affects the normal absorption of products by the equipment.
A FPC stacked automatic equalizer is designed, using a laser displacement sensor and multiple openings on the platform. The laser displacement sensor illuminates along the opening direction to induce the product height, and automatically adjusts the height of the fixed plate through the lifting mechanism to ensure the flat surface of the product.
Through the use of the automatic equalizer, the FPC soft board surface is ensured to be flat, solving the problem that the equipment cannot absorb products normally due to height differences, and improving production efficiency and product quality.
