Hand-operated press can fit offset plug connectors
14 March 2001Manufacturing / Production Technology, Hardware & Services
Erni has available a unit for press-fitting offset plug-in connections. This press, which works according to the hydropneumatic principle, has been specially designed for the offset plug connectors that create the interfaces on secondary cards.
The special characteristic of this press is that all plug connectors on the front and back of the plug-in card can be press-fitted in a single operation without having to change tools. This is advantageous in the case of Compact PCI applications, for example, in that up to five metric plug-in connectors can be press-fitted next to each other at a single stroke.
The hydropneumatic pressing cylinder provides a maximum action force of 60 kN at 6,5 bar. The press itself is 840 x 680 x 1290 mm in size and features two tool sets, one for the front and one for the rear side of the secondary cards respectively. In order to enable customer- specific tool combinations, the length of the tool-holder can be set at a maximum of 300 mm and the bottom part of the press-fit tool can be lowered.
Operation is provided via an industrial PC with a Windows interface. In addition to the control and monitoring of action force, the computer makes allowance for the thickness of the PCBs, documents the pressing process and features a database for storing various tool combinations.
