The Tyco P350 is an automatic XY-insertion machine with the ability to apply a large variety of Tyco Electronics’ and other manufacturer’s board terminals. The machine is equipped with three product-specific insertion heads. Each head has a rotary insertion finger that allows pins to be applied at different angles without rotating the PCB. Conversion kits for different insertion tools are available to allow an existing machine to be updated to apply different pins. The equipment is SMEMA-compatible and supplied with PCB transfer belts for in-line operation. The boards are positioned under the insertion head by an XY table, driven by servo motors. A controller monitors the entire system, including motor drives, pin-insertion process, etc. Operator interface is via icon driven software with a touch screen monitor. Programming is executed either off-line on a connected PC or by converting CAD data of various formats. A force-monitoring unit checks the insertion force in real time, allowing for 100% verification of each press-fit process. The P300 is capable of inserting up to 300 pins per minute. With a maximum insertion area of 600 x 400mm, it features 0.02mm repeatability.
