ABSTRACT:
The omnidirectional work table fixture for printed circuit board repair that enables the operator to both laterally and rotationally position the printed circuit board. This is accomplished by providing a mounting plate on one major surface of which is affixed a printed circuit board fixture to hold the printed circuit board in place. On the other major surface is mounted a plurality of omnidirectional rollers which enable smooth movement of the omnidirectional work table fixture in any direction, both laterally (X-Y direction) as well as rotationally. The use of the single set of omnidirectional rollers minimizes the height of the omnidirectional work table fixture so that the printed circuit board surface is closer to the work bench on which the omnidirectional work table fixture rests than in the case of the X-Y work tables, thereby providing the operator with a more comfortable working height as well as freeing the operator's hands to manipulate tools, since the omnidirectional work table fixture can be simply moved with the heel of the hand or forearms. The omnidirectional rollers also provide a grounding path to the work bench on which the omnidirectional work table fixture is placed, thereby reducing the risk of electrostatic discharge.
