Docking mechanism for parts case in autohandler for electronic parts tester

Abstract

Abstract PURPOSE:To enable automatic testing of IC, etc. through the prescribed processes of a shutter unit, a measuring unit and a descriminating unit, by sending IC, etc. to be tested onto parts guide rails in a testing jig by the effect of gravity. CONSTITUTION:A number of parts cases 14 arranged and held in a supplying- side fixture 13 and a receiving-side fixture 18 are pressed downward sequentially by presser bars 22 of a supplying-side docking mechanism unit 20 and a receiving-side docking mechanism unit 21, and thereby they can be put onto and connected to docking guide rails 11 and 12 provided at the upper and lower ends of a parts guide rail 7 of a testing jig 7, respectively. Since supplying-side and receiving-side parts cases 14 are connected directly to both end parts of the parts guide rail 7 of the testing jig 5, the test of electronic parts can be performed within the length of the parts guide rail 7 and the length of the parts cases 14 connected to the upper and lower ends thereof, and thus the entire form of an autohandler can be made small-sized.
