Summary of the Utility Model

[0003] In order to overcome the problem that during the assembly of the flexible printed circuit board, the flexible printed circuit board is prone to offset and movement, resulting in insecure connection between the flexible printed circuit board and the connecting device during assembly.

[0005] Preferably, when it is necessary to connect the flexible printed circuit board with an electronic receiver, the flexible printed circuit board and the parts to be assembled are placed on the placement assembly. The object is clamped and positioned by the clamping assembly and the positioning assembly. Then, the support assembly is activated to place the parts to be assembled at the lower end of the assembly machine on the support assembly for assembly work.
