The two feeding conveyor lines 4 are respectively arranged on both sides of the end of the plate loading conveyor line 2. The two feeding conveyor lines 4 are perpendicular to the plate loading conveyor line 2. During operation, the manipulator on the plate loading machine 1 grabs the FPC and places it on the plate loading conveyor line 2. When the plate loading conveyor line 2 conveys the FPC to the two-axis manipulator 3, the two-axis manipulator 3 transfers the FPC on the plate loading conveyor line 2 to the two feeding conveyor lines 4 or directly transfers it into the feeding port of the middle electrical measurement machine 6 according to a certain grabbing sequence.

The moving direction of the feeding manipulator 5 is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the feeding conveyor line 4. When the feeding conveyor line 4 conveys the FPC below the feeding manipulator 5, the feeding manipulator 5 sucks the FPC and transfers it into the feeding port of the electrical measurement machine 6.

[0027] One end of the discharging ports of the three electrical measurement machines 6 is respectively connected to the front end of one electrical measurement completed conveyor line 8.

The moving direction of the left-right transfer machine 11 is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the electrically tested conveyor line 8. During operation, when the middle electrically tested conveyor line 8 conveys the FPC to the left-right transfer machine 11, the two left-right transfer machines 11 transfer the FPC on the middle electrically tested conveyor line 8 to the other two electrically tested conveyor lines 8 respectively according to a certain grasping sequence; the other two electrically tested conveyor lines 8 convey the FPC to the feeding ends of the corresponding stamping machines 9.

[0032] During the electrical testing process, the manipulator of the board placing machine 1 grabs the FPC and places it on the board placing conveyor line 2. When the board placing conveyor line 2 conveys the FPC under the two-axis manipulator 3, the two-axis manipulator 3 transfers the FPC to the two feeding conveyor lines 4 or the feeding port of the middle electrical testing machine 6 according to the corresponding requirements of the three electrical testing machines 6. When the FPC is conveyed under the loading manipulator 5, the loading manipulator 5 transfers the FPC to the feeding port of the electrical testing machine 6; the electrical testing machine 6 automatically tests the FPC and conveys the qualified FPC to the discharge port.
