ABSTRACT:
A multiple station CD-ROM testing system includes a conveyance device, a first gripping device, a multiple station testing device having a number of testing stations arranged in a vertically stacked fashion, a second gripping device, a collection device, and a controlling device comprised of a single programmable logic control and a single personal computer. The conveyance device carries the CD-ROMs fed into the system forward. The first gripping device picks up the CD-ROMs on the conveyance device and positions the CD-ROMs into the testing stations of the multiple station testing device to have the CD-ROMs tested therein by means of the controlling device and removes the tested CD-ROMs out of the multiple station testing device and places them back to the conveyance device. The second gripping device picks up the tested CD-ROMs on the conveyance device and transfers the tested CD-ROMs to either a next process if the CD-ROMs pass the test or a flaw product collection device if the CD-ROMs fail the test. Such an arrangement allows a number of testing stations to be integrated into a single testing device in a vertically stacked manner so that a number of CD-ROMs may be tested/inspected at the same time and only a limited floor area is needed to install the single set of testing device. The efficiency and effectiveness of inspection of the CD-ROM products is significantly enhanced and the manufacturing efficiency increased and the cost reduced.
