Abstract

An automatic grinding machine with positioning effect has a body, at least two positioning sets, and a processing set. The body has a base, a grinding mount, a drive device, and a fixture. The base has a chamber. The at least two positioning sets are connected to the body and each positioning set has a displacement device and an optical module. The displacement device is mounted in the chamber. The optical module is disposed on the displacement device and is moved relative to the grinding mount by the drive device to position locations of the grinding mount and a probe card. The processing set is electrically connected to the drive device and the fixture of the body and the displacement device and the optical module of each positioning set, and has a computer control interface.

Claims (42)

1. An automatic grinding machine with positioning effect comprising:

a body having

a base having

a chamber formed in the base; and

a processing opening formed through a top side of the base and communicating with the chamber;

a grinding mount disposed on the base at the processing opening;

a drive device mounted in the chamber of the base and connected to the grinding mount to drive the grinding mount to move relative to the base; and

a fixture disposed on the base above the grinding mount to clamp a probe card;

at least two positioning sets connected to the body, and each one of the at least two positioning sets having

a displacement device mounted in the chamber of the base; and

an optical module disposed on the displacement device and driven by the displacement device to move relative to the grinding mount to detect and position locations of the grinding mount and the probe card; and

a processing set connected to the body and the at least two positioning sets and having a computer control interface electrically connected to the drive device and the fixture of the body and the displacement device and the optical module of each one of the at least two positioning sets.

2. The automatic grinding machine as claimed in claim 1 , wherein

the base has

at least two mounting portions disposed on the top side of the base beside the processing opening; and

at least two covers, and each one of the at least two covers disposed on the top side of the base and mounted on one of the at least two mounting portions; and

each one of the at least two positioning sets is located at one of the at least two mounting portions of the base.

3. The automatic grinding machine as claimed in claim 2 , wherein

the displacement device of each one of the at least two positioning sets has

a mounting seat mounted in the chamber of the base; and

multiple driving units mounted in the chamber of the base and connected to the mounting seat to drive the mounting seat to linearly move in multiple directions relative to the base; and

the optical module of each one of the at least two positioning sets is disposed on the mounting seat of the displacement device of the corresponding positioning set, and is located below the cover at a respective one of the mounting portions to capture images of the grinding mount and the probe card.

4. The automatic grinding machine as claimed in claim 3 , wherein each one of the at least two positioning sets has a protection device disposed on the optical module of the positioning set, electrically connected to the computer control interface, and having

a protecting cap mounted on the displacement device of the positioning set and movably mounted around the optical module of the positioning set;

a sensor disposed on the displacement device of the positioning set, selectively triggered by a movement of the protecting cap relative to the optical module of the positioning set to stop an actuation of the displacement device; and

multiple buffering elements disposed between the protecting cap and the displacement device of the positioning set.

5. The automatic grinding machine as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the automatic grinding machine has two optical modules, respectively a front optical module and a rear optical module, to respectively capture images of front row probes at a front side of the probe card and rear row probes at a rear side of the probe card.

6. The automatic grinding machine as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the automatic grinding machine has two optical modules, respectively a front optical module and a rear optical module, to respectively capture images of front row probes at a front side of the probe card and rear row probes at a rear side of the probe card.

7. The automatic grinding machine as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the automatic grinding machine has two optical modules, respectively a front optical module and a rear optical module, to respectively capture images of front row probes at a front side of the probe card and rear row probes at a rear side of the probe card.

8. The automatic grinding machine as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the automatic grinding machine has two optical modules, respectively a front optical module and a rear optical module, to respectively capture images of front row probes at a front side of the probe card and rear row probes at a rear side of the probe card.

9. The automatic grinding machine as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the processing set has a sound detection module mounted in the grinding mount, and electrically connected to the computer control interface to collect sound frequency generated during a grinding process to accurately identify a grinding position of the grinding mount.

10. The automatic grinding machine as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the processing set has a sound detection module mounted in the grinding mount, and electrically connected to the computer control interface to collect sound frequency generated during a grinding process to accurately identify a grinding position of the grinding mount.

11. The automatic grinding machine as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the processing set has a sound detection module mounted in the grinding mount, and electrically connected to the computer control interface to collect sound frequency generated during a grinding process to accurately identify a grinding position of the grinding mount.

12. The automatic grinding machine as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the processing set has a sound detection module mounted in the grinding mount, and electrically connected to the computer control interface to collect sound frequency generated during a grinding process to accurately identify a grinding position of the grinding mount.

13. The automatic grinding machine as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the processing set has a manual module electrically connected to the computer control interface to control the drive device and the fixture of the body and the displacement device and the optical module of each positioning set.

14. The automatic grinding machine as claimed in claim 10 , wherein the processing set has a manual module electrically connected to the computer control interface to control the drive device and the fixture of the body and the displacement device and the optical module of each positioning set.

15. The automatic grinding machine as claimed in claim 11 , wherein the processing set has a manual module electrically connected to the computer control interface to control the drive device and the fixture of the body and the displacement device and the optical module of each positioning set.

16. The automatic grinding machine as claimed in claim 12 , wherein the processing set has a manual module electrically connected to the computer control interface to control the drive device and the fixture of the body and the displacement device and the optical module of each positioning set.

17. The automatic grinding machine as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the processing set has a sound detection module mounted in the grinding mount, and electrically connected to the computer control interface to collect sound frequency generated during a grinding process to accurately identify a grinding position of the grinding mount.
