ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for automatic execution of operations in the fabrication of circuit boards or similar boards. The apparatus comprises a conveyor (4) consisting of two parallel conveyor halves (5, 6) provided with a traction element (7) to convey the circuit board. The conveyor halves, guided by a first set of guide bars (8, 9), can be moved in a direction transverse to the conveying direction while remaining parallel to each other, to permit adjustment of the width of the conveyor; a 3-D transfer gear (10) disposed above the conveyor (4) and provided with a gripper (11). The apparatus is provided with tools (12) which can be manipulated by the gripper (11) of the transfer gear, and a control unit (13). The apparatus comprises a first set of locking elements (14) to lock the conveyor half (5, 6) in position relative to the first guide bars (8, 9), and, correspondingly, to release them, according to a specified code run by the control unit (13); a transferring tool (15) arranged to be manipulated by the gripper (11) of the transfer gear in accordance with the specified code run by the control unit (13); and a lug element (16) provided in the conveyor half (5, 6) and fitted to be gripped by the transferring tool (15) to move the conveyor half to a position defined by the specified code run by the control unit (13) so as to adapt the conveyor to the width (L) of the circuit board.
