Abstract
An apparatus and a method for transferring a printed circuit board to an intended position at a high speed accurately and reliably. The apparatus is provided with driving motors (,) for driving conveyor belts (,) to transfer a printed circuit board, a positioning detector (,) for detecting said printed circuit board (,) having hit a positioning stopper (,) in the intended position, an arrival detector (,) for detecting said printed circuit board having arrived in a prescribed position before the intended position, a control unit (,) for controlling the driving motors (,) in accordance with said detection signals from both detectors (,), whereby the transfer speed starts to slow down when said printed circuit board arrives at said arrival detector, and if the printed circuit board hits said stopper and bounces back, or it fails to reach the intended position because a slip occurs between said printed circuit board and said conveyor belts, said control unit drives said driving motors again to run at a slow speed until said printed circuit board hits said stopper.
