Abstract

A printed circuit board processing apparatus includes: a plurality of printed circuit board processing machines (A) arranged side by side, in each of which a printed circuit board (W) placed on a table (4) and a tool held by a single spindle (13) are caused to make a relative movement in the X-, Y- and Z-directions of the machine to process the printed circuit board (W); tipping devices (B) respectively mounted on the tables (4) in such a manner as to be swingable and adapted to perform the delivery of printed circuit boards (W); conveying devices (C) arranged along the beds (1) of the printed circuit board processing machines (A) and each equipped with a feeding path (C1) and a discharging path (C2) which are adapted to convey printed circuit boards (W) in an inclined posture; loading/unloading devices (D) arranged at a delivery position on the printed-circuit-board-processing-machine side of the feeding and discharging paths of the conveying devices (C) and adapted to effect the delivery of printed circuit boards between the tipping device (B) and the paths; a printed-circuit-board feeder (E) connected to one end of each feeding path (C1); a printed circuit board collecting device (F) connected to one end of each discharging path (C2); and detectors (G) allocated to the respective spindles (13) of the printed circuit board processing machines (A) and each adapted to read the kind of a printed circuit boards (W) fed onto the associated table (4).
