Abstract

Abstract: Silicone rubber key is an on and off component assembled on PCB. However, the assembly of silicone rubber key has been by manual and it is low efficiency and higher labor cost. In order to solve this problem a new assembly method by using the surface mount placement machine is invented. The main improvement of this new products is that human work can be completely replaced. And the advantage of the new invention is that the production line does not need to change for the surface mount assembly. The only change is the placement nozzle which is to suck the component and then assembly the silicone rubber key on the PCB. Furthermore, the newly designed vibration materials loading device is equipped to increase the production rate.
