Abstract:
1. A testing apparatus to test whether a distance between a first and a second portions of an electrically conductive object is eligible, the testing apparatus comprising: a worktable; a positioning mechanism secured to the worktable, comprising an anvil abutting against the first portion of the object; a pressing mechanism pressing the object against the anvil; an actuating mechanism comprising a detecting pole slidably mounted to the worktable and aligned with the second portion, a first abutting member mounted to the worktable and electrically connected to the detecting pole, a second abutting member mounted to the worktable and spaced from the first abutting member, and a contacting member secured to the detecting pole and slidable with the detecting pole between the first abutting member and the second abutting member; and an controlling device electrically coupled to the first abutting member, the second abutting member, and the anvil, wherein signals at the first abutting member and the second abutting member change according to the distance between the first and second portions of the object, the controlling device accordingly indicates whether the distance is eligible; wherein the detecting pole comprises a head facing the second portion, and a shank extending from the head away from the second portion, the contacting member is secured to an end of the shank opposite to the head.
