Auto Insertion

Ten stations of operators placing radial parts one by one is not labor — it is a recurring tax on quality, capacity, and planning. Here is how to size the escape.

After the wave, the pliers come out: manual THT lead trimming is the step most line charts leave out, and it is where yield quietly leaks away. Here is how an inline auto lead cutter closes the gap.

Connectors, transformers and relays do not have to mean hand insertion. Bowl, belt, tube, tray, reel — each feeding level buys you speed and polarity control.

Hand-inserting pins and terminals is slow and error-prone. Run the Odd-Form Insertion Audit, then see how the S7020 automates it.

The pre-sales motion I turned into a free product: a live demo of YOUR parts on our insertion machines plus a one-page evaluation report — yours whether you buy or not.

A specialist THT station that bends tall radial leads 90 degrees, then inserts and clinches in one cycle — letting capacitors and LEDs lie flat in slim enclosures.

Lights-out THT is not about emptying the floor overnight. It is about counting every place a person touches a board, then retiring those touches one station at a time.

The SMT side can run unattended. Then boards reach the through-hole benches, and the shift ends when the operators do.

An in-line jumper wire inserter that feeds and inserts jumper wires straight from the feeder at 20,000 CPH, eliminating the separate sequencer stage on THT lines.

A carrier clip costs less than a working lunch. The downtime it causes when it wears out costs a shift. Here is how to manage the wear before it becomes a failure.

Your SMT side is repeatable and your THT side is still people. Often the whole difference is one taped radial capacitor nobody can feed consistently.

An offline radial insertion station rated 22,000 CPH theoretical and around 13,000 CPH in production, covering 2.5 to 10.0 mm spans on boards up to 400 × 400 mm.
