Abstract:
1. A non-visual method for component placement in fabrication of circuit board the method comprising the steps of: creating air suction through a hole in a nozzle depression; in response to the air suction, drawing a component into the nozzle depression; placing the nozzle over a circuit board region; ceasing air suction through the nozzle hole; and, depositing the component on the circuit board region, the creating air suction through the hole in the nozzle depression comprises creating air suction through a nozzle depression having a first shape, the drawing the component into the nozzle depression comprises drawing a component having the first shape, the creating air suction through the nozzle depression having the first shape comprises creating air suction through a nozzle semicircular groove, the drawing the first-shaped component into the nozzle semicircular groove comprises drawing a coaxial cable component into the nozzle semicircular groove.
