Abstract:
1. A testing device to test a plate for electronic circuits, comprising: a transport means having a support surface configured to support and transport said plate linearly along an axis of feed at least from an entrance station to a testing station defining a testing plane; a testing means disposed in correspondence with said testing station; an alignment station defining an alignment plane disposed upstream of said testing station; and an alignment means disposed within said alignment station, said alignment means having a support member that is movable in a direction substantially perpendicular to the alignment plane to engage said plate while said plate is supported by said support surface on said alignment station in said alignment plane and move the plate along a first axis to position said plate in an aligned position on the support surface in said alignment plane that is symmetrical both with respect to said axis of feed and also with respect to the first axis, wherein said first axis is substantially transverse to and co-planar with said axis of feed.
