The CPMPrestige from Harting is a semi-automatic component press-in machine combining short cycle times, advanced sensing technology and an easy-to-use graphics interface. The flexible equipment is suited for both high and low-volume production with a variety of PCB types. The machine is fitted with a universal tool adapter, which can carry special all-in-one tools capable of pressing multiple connectors in one stroke. The result is negligible changeover time. A special algorithm continuously takes data on the press-in force and press-in distance and calculates a cut-off point without pre-adjustments for connector type, board thickness, hole diameter, compliance zone configuration or vendor. It is the first machine of its type to have a 100 kN press-force capacity. A special type frame is combined with a technique known as automatic deflection compensation which ensures that the frame compensates for all deflections even under heaviest load. Finite-element analysis is used to calculate how the press-frame will behave in a number of pre-defined situations, allowing the system to be optimized so that no additional barriers, pillars or walls are necessary.
