Pin insertion machine

3 August 2011 Manufacturing / Production Technology, Hardware & Services

The semi-automatic P100 is the newest addition to the TE line of pin insertion systems. Designed and manufactured with a focus on mid-volume production, the machine can apply products from TE and other manufacturers, providing the flexibility to address both current and future tooling needs.

The P100 uses a pneumatic power unit together with product specific ‘quick change’ tooling packs. The insertion heads can be equipped with a rotary insertion finger that can apply products at different angles without decreasing the insertion rate. The tooling packs can be exchanged within 30 minutes to meet a full range of application requirements.

The lower support tool is equipped with an electrical continuity or pin penetration check to ensure that each product was correctly inserted into the PCB and remained there in real-time. There is no additional quality check required and all QC data can be stored via the system PC for future traceability.

The machine can be equipped with two insertion heads to double the number of products that can be applied. The operator interface is an easy-to-use touchscreen which allows simple programming and automatic setup.
