Abstract
A test board is provided with a plurality of cavities that are covered by a film and arranged in a know pattern to coincide with the components to be inserted. The component lead is inserted through the film and into the cavities on the test board. The component lead is removed from the test board. The location of the resulting hole in the film is measured and compared to its intended target to determine the accuracy of the insertion equipment.
