Automatic Insertion Machine is the Key to Efficient and Accurate Component Placement for PCB Assembly.
Insertion machines are essential tools for any manufacturer of electronic products. These machines automate the process of placing components on printed circuit boards (PCBs), which can save manufacturers time, money, and improve the quality of their products. They work by using a vacuum pick-and-place mechanism to pick up components from a feeder and place them in the correct holes on the PCB. The machine has a vision system that helps to ensure that the components are placed in the correct orientation.
There are many advantages to using insertion machines, including:
• Increased productivity: Insertion machines can place components much faster than manual placement.
• Improved accuracy: Insertion machines can place components with much greater accuracy than manual placement.
• Reduced costs: Insertion machines can reduce the cost of labor and the risk of errors.
• Reduced lead time: Insertion machines can help to reduce the lead time for PCB assembly, as they can place components much faster than manual placement.
• Increased flexibility: Insertion machines can be used to place a wide variety of components, which can give manufacturers more flexibility in their design process.
• Improved quality: Insertion machines can help to improve the quality of PCB assembly, as they can place components with greater accuracy than manual placement.
There are two main types of SMT insertion machines: axial and radial.
Axial insertion machines are used for components with leads that are parallel to the PCB, while radial insertion machines are used for components with leads that are perpendicular to the PCB.
Next, let's have a look at the two types of insertion machines.
The Radial insertion machine offers consistently high throughput regardless of component type, with single-, dual-, triple-, and quad-span insertion variants. Lead span capability up to 10mm virtually eliminates tedious manual assembly requirements to improve throughput, product quality, and output per floor space, while reducing associated labor costs and time requirements to provide greater returns. An intuitive operator interface that is common with other generation insertion equipment offers easy operation, diagnostics, data management,
and a graphical product editor.
