Insertion isn't enough. You also need cut and clinch for axial, radial, and dip components.

Clinch stops them moving on the wave or in transfer, it's pretty handy.

Wow, great information! I have a feeling you are talking about some predominantly through hole assemblies with mostly common components. In this case fully automated solutions make sense if the volume is there. But these machines cannot do everyth

Interesting, see we used to do a large amount of PTH but we have been able to convert most of those parts to SMT now. the majority of our PTH is connectors. I am doing some research as to the types of through hole assembly that still remain.- This d

Q1: Is this [paste in hole] feasible? A1: Yes, many people lower their operating cost by reflowing through hole components. Q2: What types of components are difficult to do this way [paste in hole]? A2: Types of through hole components that are d

No problem. A standard stencil is OK. You want to print a half moon shape on each side of the hole. Make sure you print about X2 the size of your hole and make sure you keep the print in close to the hole. You want to print X2 the hole size as to hav

"Do you think these machines are less appropriate for smaller lot sizes and PCB's with just a few through hole parts?" That depends. It will still save time if your lot sizes are small, as opposed to hand placement. I would not recommend buying an

Hi Adam, Good question. I know I am seeking a lot of details. Here's the deal. Five years ago I acquired the assets of Contact Systems. Since then I have been re-manufacturing the CS-400E machine which if you are not familiar with is a light guid

Plenty of people don't like cut 'n clinch and might appreciate just having the cut part. We do a mix of OEM and CEM work, because of the low volumes special tooling for a product is often out of the question so that is one thing to consider. We use t
