A storage assembly for mounting '0' to 'N' storage devices to a computer or electronic system. The storage assembly has an assembly base that connects to the housing of the system, '1' to 'M' tray members that support '0' to 'N' storage devices with the '1' to 'M' tray members being connected such that they form a stack of tray members and each tray member has a least one storage device attached to it, shock mount assemblies for movably attaching the stack of tray members with the storage devices attached thereto to the base and for protecting the tray members of storage devices from normal shocks and vibrations, and severe shocks in the horizontal, vertical, and angular directions, 97 LDC board that provides regulated power to the storage devices, an interface board for transferring data to, and receiving data from, the storage devices via a cable assembly that connects to the storage devices in a daisy chain fashion, and 9 connector that connects to the interface board and the storage devices that permits connection of the storage devices and interface board to external devices.

Shock absorbing apparatus for mounting a plurality of storage devices in

A DIP insertion machine is disclosed wherein the feeder, inserter, valve stack for the feeder and inserter and electronic distribution panels for the valve stack, feeder and inserter are all mounted on a single plate which is secured to a mounting bracket attached to the bottom of the cross-beam on which the component magazines and shuttle are secured.

Electronic component insertion machine

A combination electrical component sequencing and inserting machine having a conveyor for receiving components from a source, a verifier for determining acceptability of the component, a blow out station for removing unacceptable components, a transfer station for accepting components from the sequencer, an inspection station for indicating to the machine control the absence of components from the sequence and a repair station adjacent an insertion head for replacing missing components from the sequence. The repair station also functions to test the replacement component prior to placement into the sequence.

Combined sequencer and insertion machine

Mechanism associated with the insertion head of an electrical component insertion machine permitting the head to be adjusted from normal IC insertion to side by side socket insertion.

Side by side dip socket insertion device

A high performance machine for selecting electronic components from magazines containing a variety of configured components, each magazine having means indicative of the particular configured components contained in the magazine for providing signals for controlling the setting of component conditioning and inserting devices for operating on each component according to its particular configuration.

Machine for inserting multi-lead components

A high performance machine for selecting electronic components from magazines containing a variety of configured components, the components in each of the magazines have a different center line spacing from the center line spacing the components of each of the other magazines, each magazine having control unit indicating the particular configured components contained in the magazine for providing signals for controlling the setting of component conditioning and inserting devices for operating on each component according to its particular configuration.

Component inserting machine

A high performance machine for selecting a variety of electronic components by at least two pickers movable along opposite sides of a row of magazines for delivery to a shuttle intersecting said row and which delivers each component to a conditioning means.

Mechanism is provided whereby a machine for inserting multiple leads of a component into a circuit board may be adapted to first insert a lead-receivable socket into the board and thereafter mount a component in the pre-inserted socket. The mechanism preferably is employed in a machine comprising automatic means for sequencing the components and sockets predeterminedly. When the machine further comprises automatic means for positioning the circuit board to receive the successive components and/or sockets, it is contemplated all components and sockets will first be programmed to be inserted directly into the boards, then preferably after soldering to secure them into board circuitry and remounting of the board in the machine, new programming of the board positioning means will mount the proper component into its pre-inserted and soldered socket. The novel mechanism is provided, for instance, as an attachment to or auxiliary kit for use in a machine for inserting DIP components and/or sockets. Specifically this attachment comprises a movable stop having two abutment or positioning faces one of which is disposed to engage leading leads of a component and the other of which abuts the leading surface of a socket to be inserted. Mounting of the stop is such that it does not approach the circuit board and hence cannot interfere with it or previously mounted components.
