ABSTRACT:
A circuit board handling and testing apparatus comprising a housing which defines a top surface. Attached to the housing is a magazine assembly which accommodates a plurality of circuit boards and is adapted to dispense the circuit boards onto a testing assembly attached to the housing one at a time. Each of the circuit boards stored within the magazine assembly defines a longitudinal axis. The testing assembly includes a modular testing component for receiving the circuit board dispensed onto the testing assembly and performing a testing protocol thereon. A reciprocal transport assembly attached to the housing pushes the circuit board dispensed onto the testing assembly laterally relative to its longitudinal axis into the modular testing component of the testing assembly. A sorting assembly which is also attached to the housing selectively directs the tested circuit board into a particular containment vessel based upon the outcome of the testing protocol. The testing assembly is adapted to eject the circuit board into the sorting assembly subsequent to the completion of the testing protocol, with the modular testing component being selectively removable from the testing assembly and replaceable with an alternative modular testing component.
