Compact Automatic Pin Insertion Machine for PCB Assembly
Pin Insert Light Version by SM Contact is a compact automatic pin insertion machine designed for accurate installation of pin contacts into printed circuit boards and connector components.
The system is developed for manufacturers of power electronics, industrial electronics, automotive systems, and high-current PCB assemblies requiring stable and repeatable press-fit pin insertion processes.
The machine combines automated positioning, optical alignment, and controlled insertion technology to improve assembly quality and reduce manufacturing defects.
Automated Pin Insertion Process
Pin contacts are supplied in continuous wire form from a coil feeding system integrated into the machine.
The process includes:
- automatic wire feeding,
- tension control,
- optical PCB alignment,
- automatic hole positioning,
- precision pin insertion into PCB holes.
An integrated optical system automatically detects PCB hole positions and aligns each insertion point with high accuracy.
This helps reduce:
- pin bending,
- insertion misalignment,
- PCB deformation,
- unstable electrical connections,
- production scrap.
